The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Crystal's POV:

The second I spotted Lucy, I instinctively wanted to turn my face away. But then I remembered that I was wearing a mask, so I pushed my instinct away. However, I didn't dare to speak anymore.

Lucy was familiar with my voice. The scandal involving her, Kyle, and Richard back then had caused a sensation. I was worried that she loathed me in her heart, so it was wise for me to be vigilant about not being recognized by her.

Adela eyed Lucy like she was her lifeline. As soon as she saw Lucy walk over, she rushed to her, grabbed her hand, and pointed one finger at me. "This damned she-wolf is a murderer. Arrest her!"

I watched them with piqued interest. My mind flashed back to my previous conversation with Laura when she had suggested that someone in the imperial palace was secretly aiding Adela. Judging from Adela's inadvertent intimacy, I guess that this person must be Lucy.

Just when I thought Lucy was going to take a stand for Adela, she slapped Adela hard, leaving her baffled.

My eyebrows flew to my hairline as this show got more interesting.

Adela covered her cheek and stared at Lucy in disbelief. "How... How dare you slap me?"

"Why shouldn't I slap you? After all, I am the wife of the former crown prince Richard and the mother of Richard's child. The person you're accusing of being a murderer is the Alpha of the border pack. You, the daughter of an Alpha of a small pack, have no right to point your finger at her just like that," Lucy snapped.
