The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Crystal's POV:

I desperately hoped the girl before me would cower now that she was being confronted. After all, I was the one who actually saved Rufus, so how could she possibly know what really happened?

Unexpectedly, she looked up at me and flashed a confident smile. "Of course, but since it was a very complicated, long story, I want to take some time and explain it slowly and clearly." "Fine. Say your piece." I crossed my arms over my chest and glared at her with hostility. A strong intent to kill her and rip her disguise to shreds with my bare hands was surging in me.

The girl pursed her lips and composed herself. She swiveled around to face Rufus and cautiously started narrating the story she'd probably just made up. "While I was painting at the bottom of the cliff, I suddenly saw a person fall into the water from above the cliff. At first I was scared, but I thought it was more important to save the person. So I jumped into the lake. Unexpectedly, the lake was very deep, and the bottom was littered with rubble. King Rufus was caught in a whirlpool under the water. Fortunately, I'm a good swimmer. After several attempts, I managed to get him to shore."

She stopped halfway and looked at Rufus and Laura apologetically. "I'm sorry, but I'm a little thirsty. Can I please have some water?"

I couldn't help but roll my eyes. The girl's acting skill was so terrible that I couldn't stand it.
