Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince

(Crystal’s POV)

“What’s the matter, Crystal? You don’t look so good.” Rufus eyed me worriedly.

“Don’t you think that the forbidden forest is too… Peaceful?” As I spoke, I cautiously headed towards the forbidden forest’s entrance. “Five years ago, I used a trick to kill the witch, Noreen. But because her bones couldn’t be destroyed, I asked Laura to bury them in the forbidden forest to keep her magic at bay.”

“Yes, and from then on, the forbidden forest has been shrouded in dark mist all year round, as though something evil lurked within.” Only then did Rufus suddenly realize that something was wrong.

“You’re right. The dark mist is gone!” I peered into the depths of the forbidden forest and added,

“Ordinary people might not be able to feel it, but because I’m also a black witch, I can sense that something’s off. Every time I got too close to the forbidden forest, I could feel that gloomy, ominous aura. Besides, I specifically reinforced the seal just some time ago, but now, the aura has disappeared…”

The more I analyzed the situation, the more anxious I felt. If I couldn’t feel the ominous aura, it only meant that there was something wrong with Noreen’s burial place.

Rufus’s expression darkened. “How about we check it out?”

I nodded in agreement.

Rufus then sent a group of soldiers to go inside the forbidden forest with us.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

I followed Rufus to the big tree that was supposed to suppress Noreen’s powers. The dark mist in the sky was no longer there, but the burial place seemed completely intact. There was no sign of the soil being loosened or dug up.

I squatted down to inspect the sand on top. It was unt*ouched. It seemed that no one else had passed by this place since I last saw it.

Then I secretly manipulated my power as a black witch to scan the surrounding area for changes. Miraculously, the seal that I reinforced some time ago was still there.

If that was the case, then there shouldn’t have been a problem with Noreen’s remains.

The surrounding areas were lit by the soldiers’ lamps. I walked around the seal twice. Everything was normal except for the lack of an ominous aura.

This made things even weirder.

“Could Noreen’s bones have eroded into the soil?” Rufus wondered.

I frowned and mulled over the possibility. “Unlikely. Noreen’s bones couldn’t be destroyed by fire, let alone soil.”

“What if we exhume her body? We have to see it with our own eyes to rest assured,” Rufus suggested, worry written all over her face.

I looked up at the sky and saw that it wasn’t that late, so I agreed.

“Okay, let’s exhume her body. I’d like to see if Noreen can come back to life after being dead for so long.”

Rufus also sent for reinforcements in case something bad happened.

When reinforcements came, the whole forbidden forest was lit up by their lamps.

I took the shovel and started to dig up Noreen’s grave. I didn’t want to risk anyone else getting close, so I did it alone. The deeper I dug, the more pungent the air became. At last, it gave off the unpleasant metallic smell of b***d.

I couldn’t help but vomit. Rufus refused to let me continue digging and took the shovel from me. Two other soldiers helped him dig.

I sat aside and watched as the hole got deeper and bigger. At that time, Laura and I were so cautious that we deliberately buried Noreen’s remains very deep into the earth.

At some point, Rufus’ shovel connected with something hard, and gradually, the top of the white coffin was exposed. Then its entirety was revealed.

The rectangular coffin appeared in front of everyone. Around the coffin, there were mysterious runes that were specially used to suppress evil things.

I had also used some runes to prevent others from getting to the coffin. Once someone t*ouched the coffin, he or she would instantly fall ill and be overwhelmed with pain.

I walked over and told everyone to step back. Then I chanted a spell in my heart to remove the seal on the coffin.
