Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 1334
Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince
Rufusâ POV:
The soldiers quickly withdrew their hands and looked at me. Confusion was drawn on their countenances. âWhatâs wrong, Your Majesty?â
âRufus, havenât you agreed to this?â Laura looked at me, her eyes hinting that she was worried I would not keep on my word.
I did not answer her. Instead, I crossed the stage towards the ice coffin and my eyes bored into the clown symbol.
âWhatâs wrong, Rufus?â Laura walked behind me, seeing that I ignored her, and followed where my gaze landed. I did not need to ask how surprised she was as I heard her gasp. âClown symbol? When did this mark appear? This wasnât here before.â
A black liquid was used to draw this symbol on the ice coffin and it was situated in a corner on the side where it was nearly impossible to make out. It was not a wonder how it had never been found before. And there was more than one.
When I walked to the back of the coffin, I saw a bigger one depicted in b***d.
I frowned as I tried to recall where I had seen this mark before. While I was racking my brain, Arron called me, confused. It was then that I recalled that Arron had been kidnapped to the clown amusement park. When I had rescued Crystal,
I had also seen the mark in Leeâs secret room. It was Leeâs symbol, looking exactly like the mask he wore.
My whole body trembled and my heart was shaken as I thought of a possibility.
âOpen the coffin.â
âRufus! Are you crazy?â Laura hurriedly stopped the compliant soldiers. âItâs been so many days. You canât open the coffin just like that!â I seemed to have pissed off Laura.
I knew what she was angry about. All she ever wanted was for Crystal to leave with dignity. She didnât want everyone to see Crystalâs rotting corpse.
But there was an unsettling feeling inside me that would not go away unless I saw what was inside the coffin. I knew I just had to confirm.
âMom, youâll soon know why I made this choice.â I insisted on it, not even bothering to explain myself.
âYour Majesty, itâs not appropriate to do so.â
âYes. Crystal has passed away. Weâre all mourning that we lost her. Youâd better think about it before opening the coffin.â
Everyone was against my orders. It was only Flora who stood and said, âPlease do as His Majesty says. I donât believe that Crystal will die like this either. I feel that thereâs something we should know.â
âReally, Flora?â Harryâs face brightened with hope, his eyes still red
âIf you two
insist, Iâll support you.â
âEnough!â Laura shouted angrily, looking a little more anxious than when she first heard my request. âOpening the coffin is a big deal. If anything happens
âMom, just trust me. I know what Iâm doing. Iâm aware that Crystalâs lying inside.â I turned to look at her, my face stained with determination. âI understand your concern, but please trust me this time. Iâm very rational now.
I know what Iâm trying to do.â
She lingered her gaze on me for quite a moment. Despite the queries that were storming her eyes, her mouth remained shut. She sighed, turned on her heels, and walked to a far nook, not daring herself to witness what we were demanding.
I raised my hand and signaled to one of the soldiers to open the coffin.
The coffin lid slid slowly, and the faint scent of Gardenia wafted through the ar.
My heart was beating faster, and I clenched my fists before loosening them. To say that I was nervous was an understatement. Then I walked towards the coffin, only to find that Crystalâs body inside looked as alive as before and not even stiff.
Her hands were placed on her belly. She looked peaceful as she lay there, like she was just sleeping
âHow⦠How could it be possible?â the soldier beside me exclaimed after witnessing the scene.
Laura turned around, made her way through the crowd, and took a look for herself. Disbelief registered on her visage, and she took two steps back. âThatâs impossible. The magical medicine has already lost its effect. Crystalâs body should be rotting.â
