Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 1328
Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince
Floraâs POV:
I stood behind Harry, looking at Crystalâs lifeless body silently. Everyone in the mourning hall was crying-that is, everyone except me.
My heart seemed to stop beating. It felt very heavy in my chest, like a stone.
When I first heard about Crystalâs death, I thought it was a prank.
Rufus loved Crystal with all his heart. How could he let her die?
âFlora, you can cry if you feel sad. Itâs okay.â
â Warren cupped my cheek and
looked at me worriedly.
I shook my head. I opened my mouth and spoke in a voice so hoarse, it was as though I hadnât spoken in years. âI canât cry,â I croaked.
Because until now, I still couldnât believe that Crystal was dead, even though her body was right in front of me.
Five years ago, Crystal had faked her death. This time, maybe she was lying to us again.
I forced a smile and said, âWarren, look! Crystal has just been sleeping for seven days. I think sheâs still alive.
Warren held me tightly and said in a low voice, âThe forensic expert has already checked on her. She⦠Sheâs not here anymore, Flora.â
âNo, no, thatâs impossible. She wouldnât die so easily. She has both the werewolf power and black witch power. How would she die so easily?â I refused to accept the facts and shook my head almost hysterically. My eyes and throat began to sting, and uncontrollable sadness enveloped my heart.
I grabbed Warrenâs arm and ordered in a trembling voice, âCall the doctor! We need a doctor!â
I knew I was talking stupid, but I still couldnât wrap my head around the idea that Crystal was dead.
Warren pulled me close and rested my head against his chest. He said sadly,
âItâs no use, Flora. We confirmed it again and again when we first arrived at the imperial palace. The reason why her body still looks alive is that Laura put some witchcraft medicine in the coffin to preserve her body, but it can only last for seven days. Her body will begin to rot after today. Thatâs why weâre in such a hurry to bury her.â
I didnât say anything for a long time. When I finally calmed myself down, I stood straight and said calmly, âI still donât believe that sheâs dead.â Then I went to the ice coffin, took Crystalâs hand, and said to her, âCrystal, Iâve always believed in miracles, just like five years ago. Youâve always been so strong. Youâve always been able to think of a way out whenever youâre backed into a corner. So you can do it again this time, right? Wake up, Crystal. Are. you really willing to leave Rufus and your kids behind?â
Tears streamed down my cheeks as I spoke. I felt choked with sobs. Crystal was such a great person. Why was God so unfair to her? She had suffered a lot in her short life on this earth.
Harry also came over and squatted beside me, following suit. âCrystal, this isnât funny. Wake up!â
âEnough. Let her rest in peace.â Laura made me and Harry stand up. âItâs time to cremate her.â
âNo, we canât just do this! We should at least let Rufus see Crystal for the last time!â looked at the others and said, âRufus loves Crystal with all his heart. If he misses his chance to see her for the last time, heâll go crazy.â
âRufus is still unconscious. We canât wait any longer. We need to let Crystal leave with dignity,â Laura said tiredly.
I wanted to say something more, but Warren pulled me aside and said, âFlora, enough. Everyoneâs mourning. Just let Crystal rest in peace.â
I pursed my lips and refused to agree with the fact that Crystal would be cremated so hastily.
But I couldnât do anything but watch as Laura ordered guards to cover the coffin.
Another group of guards came in, ready to carry the coffin to the royal tomb to have Crystal cremated.
Just then, an ear-piercing roar came from the door. âWho dares to touch her body?!â
I was so excited that my extinguished hope was rekindled.
It was Rufus! He rushed in like a furious beast, frightening everyone. His eyes were bloodshot, his hair and clothes messy, and the back of his hands were stained with b***d. His murderous gaze swept across the hall, sending chills down everyoneâs spines.
âWho said you could bury her without my permission?â
