Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 1105 Little Trick
Crystal’s POV:
I hurried out of the palace, fuming. My feet thumped heavily on the marble floor because of my anger.
If Rufus hadn’t said something nice in the end, I might have been tempted to k*il*l him today.
“Don’t be angry. This is all Adela’s fault. She is so smart that she even came up with the idea of using witchcraft that could make Rufus mistake someone irrelevant for his mate,” Yana yawned and consoled me softly.
I pursed my lips tightly, feeling very unhappy. “Rufus is usually so sharp. How could he have been so easily fooled? I’m afraid that he simply wants this.”
Yana clicked her tongue and said, “Why do I sense that you’re jealous? I thought someone had decided to be very generous and had even said that she would bless Rufus!”
“Of course, I will bless him, on the condition that he marries the right woman. Anyway, I’ve revealed my true thoughts to him today. Now I don’t need to pretend to be nice to Adela in the future,” I mumbled without confidence.
“Well, it’s your choice. I will support you unconditionally anyway.” Yana reluctantly had to end the topic.
Walking on my usual route, I passed the palace where Rufus and I used to reside. Every time I went by this way, I would look at it, and then sit by the pond nearby.
The view of this area was gorgeous, and everything had been carefully crafted.
However, I was in no mood to appreciate it today. I just wanted to sit quietly by the pond and lose myself in my thoughts.
At this moment, someone called my name from behind me. Puzzled, I turned around and saw that it was Adela. She was standing a little away from me and watching me with a scowl.
“Why are you here?”
I ignored her question and got to my feet, ready to leave.
But Adela grabbed my arm and scrutinized me sullenly. “I’ve never heard of the king having a child. Whose child is it? Is that child really yours? You didn’t collude with him to pull my leg, did you?”
“What do you think?” I eyed her defiantly. The more agitated she became, the happier I would be. Sometimes, I truly felt like I’d become a bad person, but so what? I wasn’t ready to give in.
Adela’s face contorted with suppressed rage. “Is that true?”
“Of course. Rufus doesn’t have to lie, and neither do I. Beryl’s eyes are so similar to mine. It’s hard to miss it.”
Hearing my reply, Adela fell silent. She studied my eyes, which were not covered by my mask, carefully. Her face darkened.
I was not interested in continuing entangling with her. I made to leave.
Adela grasped my arm again and mocked, “I was wondering what skills you possessed to become the Alpha of a pack at such a young age. It turns out that you got that position by sleeping your way up. You gave birth to the king’s baby. So what? He clearly doesn’t make any commitment, and you’re just his plaything. I’m the future queen, and you are destined to be his shady lover!”
“Are you so confident that you will become the queen? Aren’t you afraid that I will reveal your deception tomorrow?” My lips curled to one side, I shook off Adela’s hand, and frostily said, “Adela, I know what tricks you’re playing and you know that too. You don’t have to put on act here. We’ll see what happens in a month.”
I paused then, took two steps toward her, and continued, “I promise you, you will never become the queen.”
Adela’s expression changed drastically and she stared at me in shock.
