Chapter 923
Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 923 Unable to Escape
Crystal’s POV:
I smiled faintly and exined, “Laura’s actually a soft-hearted person when you get to know her. We’ve
stayed in touch for all these years. Both she and Ethan have helped me a lot in secret so that I could
gain a foothold in the border pack.”
“When they announced your sentencing five years ago, I opposed Laura in public and said a lot of
harsh words. I think she’ll never want to see me again.” Smiling awkwardly, Harry scratched the back of
his head.
“You were only trying to protect me back then. Laura wouldn’t take it to heart. In fact, thest time we
talked, she told me about you and Joanna. She was very happy for you two.” I sighed and took
Joanna’s hand. I locked eyes with her and asked seriously, “So when do you two n to get married?”
For the first time, I saw Joanna blush. She averted her gaze and muttered, “Don’t know yet. It’s not the
time to talk about it.”
“Very soon! Just wait and see,” Harry cut in, unable to contain his excitement.
Joanna shot him a re, but she didn’t say anything. She really loved that goofball.
I chuckled. I felt happy for them. After so many years, Harry finally was about to start a family of his
own.
Joanna pursed her lips and changed the subject.
“Anyway… Why’d youe here for the military parade? Aren’t you afraid that Rufus will recognize
you?”
“I had toe.” I shrugged helplessly and told them about what Rufus had done to make mee this
year. After hearing that, Harry burst intoughter. “Damn! Rufus is really good at this. He’s forcing you
to surrender. Are you two ying a game of cat and mouse or—”
Joanna was also amused, but she hurried to mp her palm over Harry’s mouth, preventing him from
saying anything more.
“Cut the crap. Rufus has lost his memory. This isn’t a game,” she hissed.
Harry was f0rced to shut up. Unable to talk, he looked at Joanna with pitiful eyes.
I rubbed my temples and asked helplessly, “Have you interacted with Rufus at all over the past few
years?”
“Yeah, over government affairs. But it was always just letters and official documents and things. Why?
What’s wrong?” Joanna looked at me strangely.
“No, I just…” My voice trailed off falteringly. I didn’t know how to exin.

Finally free of Joanna’s grasp, Harry waved his hand and said, “I get it. Rufus has be more and
more difficult to get along with over the past few years. Now, he’s stubborn and cruel. I dared to
approach him before, but let’s just say I learned a hard lesson that day.” When he talked about Rufus,
he looked especially scared, like a timid mouse facing a fierce cat.
I sighed. “I had a brief confrontation with Rufus not long after my arrival. It almost looked like he really
wanted to get rid of me.”
“Not surprised. You’ve been managing the border pack in an orderly manner and even recruited the
surrounding small packs. You have sold*iers, adequate military provisions, and public support. And
you’ve been hiding in the border pack for years, refusing toe here to worship Rufus. Rufus is not a
fool. He’s a scheming fox, so he’s definitely afraid of what you might be nning to do. That’s exactly
how Geoffrey did before. Remember? Rufus is really sensitive. He has lost all his memories rted to
you, including the fiasco at the border as well as Geoffrey’s rebellion. But he still functions well as a
leader of the country. He deserves to be the king.” Harry rubbed his chin and analyzed the situation
aloud.
The more I heard, the colder my heart became. It seemed Rufus wouldn’t let me go unless I found a
way to show my loyalty to him.
Joanna patted my back andforted me softly. “Don’t worry. As long as you don’t openly offend the
crown, Rufus can’t do anything to you.”
I nodded. It was useless to overthink things now. I could only y things by ear.
All of a sudden, a slight gr0@n came from the sickbed. I quickly stood up and went to check.
