NovelEnglish313 The Prophecy
“What?” Michael frowned.
“After Joanna was brought back by them that day, she did not die immediately. General Lovecraft used many methods to keep Joanna alive. I only found out about this recently.”
Brandon sighed again. “I don’t know where General Lovecraft found a sorcerer. The sorcerer told him that the power of the golden wolf could completely cure Joanna and make her healthy again. General Lovecraft wants you to do this.”
“Are you kidding me?” Michael’s expression turned cold.
“I knew you would react like this.” Brandon smiled bitterly. “I wanted to reject him directly. I’m not afraid of the power in his hands. Even if he doesn’t give it to me, I’m confident I can slowly take it from him.”

Let’s not talk about this, ” Michael said coldly. “Just based on what she did to Cecily, it’s enough for me to kill her. I can’t save her.”
“I know.” Brandon sat up straight and looked into Michael’s eyes. “However, you know that my special ability is ‘prophecy’. It told me I can’t reject General Lovecraft, or there would be very serious consequences.”
Michael fell silent when he heard the word ‘prophecy’.
He tapped the teacup with his fingers. The tea in the cup had completely cooled down, just like the atmosphere between the two brothers, full of coldness.
The office was silent for a long time.
Michael was slightly annoyed when he said, “I can’t do that, and Cecily won’t agree.”
“I’m not forcing you, Michael,” Brandon said in gently. “I can understand you. You don’t need to give me an answer now. I want you to think about it. But no matter what, can you please stay in the palace for a while?”
Michael suddenly looked up and asked, “How confident are you in your prediction this time?”
“Prophecies are never wrong, Michael. You know that. We’ve verified it many times since we were young,” Brandon said calmly.
Michael’s expression stiffened, and he lowered his head as he said in a low voice, “That’s right, you’ve never made a mistake. That’s why you’re the Lycan King.”
Brandon got up from his seat and walked to Michael’s side. He patted Michael’s shoulder.
“If you would reject General Lovecraft, what would have happened?” Michael asked.
“War.” Brandon closed his eyes. “It would be a very large-scale war. I could not see clearly who was involved. However, the forest was full of blood and corpses. I cannot guarantee that there would be no people we loved in there. That’s why I told General Lovecraft that I would have a discussion with you. I had no other choice.”
“You didn’t choose to run away,” Michael repeated. Suddenly, his eyes turned golden, and he shouted at Brandon emotionally, “Do I have a choice now? I don’t care what you say, but I will never agree to do a favor for General Lovecraft. I’m not responsible for his daughter’s death.”

Michael stared at Brandon with his golden eyes, but Brandon was not afraid to look him in the eye. Since he was young, he had seen Michael lose control too many times. He knew Michael better than anyone else and believed that Michael could control himself. As expected, the golden light in Michael’s eyes gradually weakened until it completely dissipated, and they returned to their dark brown.
Michael took a deep breath. “I need to think about this carefully.”
“We still have time.” Brandon emphasized the word ‘we’. “This is to avoid the worst possible outcome. Michael, you know that no one will be spared if a war breaks out. Everyone will be a victim.”
Brandon picked up a document from the table and handed it to Michael. “This is the appointment document for Cecily. Courtney said Cecily is very talented and had her ideas on some issues. I thought it would be a waste of her talent if she were only assigned to be your consort, so I found a position for her in the palace.”
Michael took it and flipped through it. His expression finally looked better, and he nodded. “She’ll be happy if you give this to her. This is the first good news I’ve heard from you today.”
Brandon smiled and said, “Go back. You’d better not tell Cecily about what I’ve told you. I’m worried about...”
Michael was curious when he saw Brandon’s hesitant expression. “Of course, I won’t tell her, but what are you worried about?”
Michael looked at Brandon’s face and suddenly had a look of realization. “You’re afraid that Cecily will tell Courtney, right? You didn’t even tell Courtney about this!”
Brandon looked a little embarrassed. “Courtney will not agree to it. She was the one who put in the most effort when it came to finding evidence. I was afraid that she would be angry at me.”
