Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 1323
Laura’s POV:
Rufus was devastated by Crystal’s death.
My mind went blank.
How could this have happened? Just a few days ago, Crystal and I had spent an afternoon together and planned a vacation on an island.
I had thought that Noreen’s problem would be solved once and for all, but I didn’t expect the solution to result in this.
I recognized the wizard who was standing at the side. His name was Murray and he was Rufus’ confidant. He had golden hair the last time I’d seen him, but now, his hair was completely grey. He held Beryl in his arms with a desolate expression.
“Murray, what is going on? What happened here?” I approached Murray, took Beryl from him, and cuddled her in my arms.
Beryl was fast asleep, her face flushed. She looked much better than before. And I couldn’t sense any external power in her body. Had Noreen truly left Beryl’s body?
“Hubson knew that Noreen resided in Beryl’s body, so he broke into the palace and bit her. Crystal transferred all her black witch power into Beryl’s body to save her, and ended up dispelling Noreen’s soul,” Murray explained briefly with a sigh.
“Transferring all the black witch power is practically a death sentence, so…”
Hearing Arron’s sobs, Murray couldn’t continue. He simply dropped his gaze to the floor.
So Crystal was dead? still couldn t wrap my head around the fact that she was gone, but right now, she showed no signs of life.
“Rufus, are you okay?” I watched Rufus worriedly, afraid that he would break down and choose to die with Crystal.
Rufus had a vacant expression on his face. He held Crystal tightly to his body as if he couldn’t hear anything else.
My heart ached for him. It wouldn’t be right for me to comfort him any further.
After all, he had lost the love of his life forever.
Although Arron was young, he was smart and couldn’t be fooled easily. He seemed to know that Murray was a wizard. He tugged on Murray’s wide robe and pleaded with a sad face, “Sir, can you help my mommy? Please help her!
She is so cold.”
I wrapped my arms around him and said, “Arron, let’s step out. Let’s give your daddy some space.”
“No, I don’t want to leave! Mommy…” Arron’s mouth twitched and tears streamed down his face. “Why doesn’t Mommy wake up? In the past, she would wake up whenever I called her.”
My eyes turned red and I replied in a shaky voice, “Your mommy is very tired.
She needs a good rest.”
Arron wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and sobbed pitifully.
On the other side of the room, Rufus stood up. He held Crystal’s body in his arms and said to me,
“I’m taking Crystal back to our room to rest. When she
wakes up, I’ll bring her to see Arron.” Then he stumbled toward the door.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
I called him several times in a concerned voice. Arron also cried out for Daddy and Mommy, but Rufus just ignored both of us.
When he reached the door, he suddenly came to a halt. He swayed a few times before falling down with a loud crash.
I was shocked.
“Help!”
The soldiers around us immediately rushed to Rufus and carried him to the bed.
Murray also hurried to examine him. After a moment, he announced, “He is fine, but he has suffered a severe mental blow, which made him lose consciousness.
I’ll give him some pills to calm him down.’
I heaved a sigh of relief and instructed a maid to assist Murray in taking care of Rufus.
“Your Majesty, what about Miss Crystal’s body?” a soldier came close to me and asked in a quivering voice.
I pondered for a while before replying with a sigh, “Set up the mourning hall for now. We’ll discuss the rest of the details once Rufus wakes up.” Arron was weeping so hard that he nearly passed out as well. I called the doctor to check on him.
