Alpha’s Rejected Mate Returns as Queen - Chapter 227
227 The Hypocritical Hero
Selma Payne’s POV:
“No!” Yuri refused to move away. who can cure Captain? With those two noble girls? The captain wouldn’t have to suffer like this if it weren’t for them! Or did he have to rely on the two high and mighty scholars? Ha, who was the one who caused the chaos in the ruins of the witch clan? Who messed up the backtrack formation and caused so many comrades to be injured? I don’t trust these few half-filled bottles at all!”
After speaking, he snorted and added with ill intentions, “Do you believe them so easily? Did they mean that the curse was removed just because they said so? They claimed that captain’s soul was cursed, and you believed it?
“How do you know they’re not just finding an excuse to cover up their incompetence? What if they were the ones who damaged the captain’s soul? If the captain died after being treated, would you believe them if they said that they were too seriously injured to save him? Are you just going to watch your captain die for nothing?”
Kerner was furious. “According to what you said, all the patients in the world can’t trust doctors! Don’t think that everyone is a coward like you. The captain used to protect you, but now that he’s fallen. How dare you use him as a shield for your power?”
Yuri’s face immediately turned red after hearing Kerner’s words. It was unknown whether it was because he was angry or because his thoughts were exposed.
“No one is allowed to get close to the captain tonight!”
He stopped talking nonsense and unreasonably ordered the people to protect the bed firmly.
…..
“Send a message to the pack now. Send the captain back to the pack to receive the goddess’ blessing as soon as possible!”
“So you’re now using the goddess’ name again?” I looked on coldly for a long time before I suddenly interrupted.
Yuri glared at me but didn’t say anything. He acted like he didn’t want to argue with me.
But what right did he have to put on such a face? I didn’t care before. He could do whatever he wanted. However, when I tried to argue with him, he had no right to refuse.
“Don’t be silent, Yuri. Or would you prefer me to call you Captain Yuri?” I looked at him mockingly as if I was looking at an angry monkey.
“Take your hand back. Don’t touch Captain Frank’s waist. I know that’s where he usually hangs the captain’s badge, but for inspection, Master Kevin has already put the badge in Captain Frank’s backpack. Otherwise, why haven’t you found anything for so long?”
Yuri retracted his hand as if he had touched a soldering iron and shouted, “Cut the crap; I just happened to be standing here!”
“Is that so?” I pouted. “I’m sorry for you. You lost your major position ten years ago, and now you’re not even close to competing for the rank of captain of the advance party against Frank. I thought you’d be very resentful.”
Yuri immediately stopped shouting, like a wild cat that had its neck grabbed, at a loss and bluffing.
“Also, about that girl, I feel sorry for you. It was a terrible experience. I can understand why you became so triggered.”
I kept adding weight to the balance of words.
“After all, it’s enough to make people sigh for any young man to ruin his future because he failed to force himself on a noble girl. If you could do it all over again, I’m sure you wouldn’t have been so impulsive, right?
“But you should also understand your boss. After all, no army would want an officer with a record of indecency. It’s for your good to remove you from your position. You don’t know how scary the media can be.
” Once the news of the ‘young officer’s attempted assault on a noble girl’ is leaked, they will eat you and that innocent girl like sharks that smell blood. Do you think you have the right to talk to me today?
“I understand why you’re doing this. After all, there are too few opportunities for a person to be in the limelight in their life. You must be very excited to be able to trample on the nobles and take over the position of leader under the eyes of the public as if they were looking at a hero, right?
“However, the truth is going to disappoint you. You can’t use Dorothy and me as tools to play the hero, and you can’t be a hero either because you are a hypocritical, disgusting, cowardly, and perverted criminal!
“I can’t believe that Captain Frank believed your lie so easily. If he knew that the son of his old friend, whom he had been taking care of, was just a b*stard who had obscene fantasies about underage girls, do you think he would still protect you like he would his son?”
Yuri trembled in a sickly manner, and the high-spirited spirit he had a few minutes ago had vanished entirely. He tried his best to appear calm, making everyone think that what he said was all slanderous. However, his increasingly hunched figure and constantly dodging eyes had already revealed the absolute truth.
“What’s going on?”
Even Kerner’s first reaction was to doubt whether I was telling the truth, and the team members were even more confused.
“That’s all vulgar slander.” Yuri’s lips trembled as he squeezed out a sharp rebuttal. “Stop making up stories. Do you think you can stand up just because you’re pouring dirty water on me? I admit that I’m not a very sunny and enthusiastic person, but I swear to the heavens that I’ve never done those dirty things you’ve said! My comrades who fight alongside me will believe me!”
