The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Crystal's POV:

I gave serious consideration to the idea that Adela might have orchestrated this whole thing, but in the end I decided against accepting it.

Adela had just turn 18, and this was her first time entering the palace. Her actions up to this point suggested she was still a young girl with not much life experience.

If she was truly that cunning, she would have fabricated a perfectly plausible story in front of Rufus and Laura, and she wouldn't have made things less favorable for herself on numerous occasions. Evidently, she lacked the mental capacity to conceive of or carry out such a plan.

In addition, Rufus was the one who arranged for my accommodation. There was a lot of uncertainty involved. Adela might know the secret passage to a particular room, but she couldn't possibly know all the secret passages in the imperial palace.

Rufus was unaware of the secret passage to my bedroom, let alone Adela.

Who else could have constructed the secret passage in the imperial palace and keep it hidden from Rufus?

My mind kept wandering back to the past. It would seem that only Ethan, if he were still alive, could construct a hidden passageway without Rufus discovering it.

I tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep.

I had to know what happened to my son.
