Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 974 What Is A Ball
Laura’s POV:
My heart trembled. Seeing Rufus in so much pain broke my heart. “Don’t think about that. It’s nothing
important. You didn’t like Alina at all at the time, so it’s not strange that you forgot those bad memories.
I often can’t remember what I ate for breakfast, let alone what happened a few years ago.”
Rufus’ forehead was covered in beads of sweat, and he gripped the edge of the table tightly, as though
he was trying to suppress something.
“I don’t know why my head will hurt like this. It’s not the first time this has happened,” Rufus said with
difficulty.
I was a little angry. Rufus was so stubborn and wouldn’t stop until he got the answers he was looking
for. But I couldn’t give him what he wanted.
“I’ve told you already. The ck witch Noreen hurt you and you sustained a brain injury five years ago.
As a result, your memories were affected, so it’s normal for you to forget some things that happened
years ago. It’s like what Beryl is going through now. Maybe one day, you’ll also recover.” I looked at
Rufus darkly, hoping he’d just drop the subject and stop trying to recall the past.
Rufus didn’t respond. Wincing, he lowered his head, lost in thought.
I felt both anger and heartbreak seeing my son like this. I took out a handkerchief and dabbed the
sweat off his forehead, saying, “Your father’s gone because Noreen’s power made his condition
worsen. I’m warning you, stop being reckless. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable, and
the whole royal family will be affected.”
“I see…” Rufus muttered in a low voice.
“Fortunately, Noreen’s gone. She was so hard to deal with.”
Just then, Rufus’ eyes flickered in confusion. “If Noreen was so powerful, how did you defeat her? Both
me and father were unconscious at that time, right?”
Of course, we got another ck witch to defeat her! But I couldn’t say that aloud. Pretending to be
calm, I said, “I got help, of course. We worked tirelessly to set a trap for Noreen and killed her.”
Rufus fell silent for a while. It seemed his mind was elsewhere. Perhaps he had stopped thinking about
it. After all, it was meaningless to look into it now that Noreen was dead.
I heaved a sigh of relief. It wasn’t the first time that Rufus asked about Noreen. Every time, I came up
with excuses to derail him. Although he didn’t seem to believe me, as long as he didn’t keep asking, it’d
be fine. If he still wanted to investigate the matter, I could just let him do whatever he wanted. Anyway, I
had erased all the relevant information, and he wouldn’t be able to find anything.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. Before anyone went to open it, it opened a crack and a small
figure strode in.
I broke into a smile and waved at her warmly. “Beryl,e here.”
Beryl quickly ran over and greeted everyone one by one. She clung to Rufus, and then soon realized
that there was something wrong with him. She poked Rufus’ face with her finger and asked, “Daddy,
there’s so much sweat on your forehead. Are you sick?”
“No, the room is just stuffy,” Rufus said softly, stroking her head affectionately.
Unconvinced, Beryl pulled out a candy from her pocket and stuffed it into Rufus’ hand. “You will feel
better after you eat the candy.”
Rufus chuckled softly, squatted down, and scooped Beryl into his arms.
Now that Rufus was distracted, I felt relieved. It was only then that I realized it was getting dark outside.
“Mother, please stay with Beryl. I have to get back to work now.” After saying that, Rufus put Beryl
down and strode out of the study without giving me a chance to refuse.
Being left in the study, Beryl and I looked at each other. I asked curiously, “Don’t you want to go with
Daddy?”

I was a little surprised that Beryl didn’t follow Rufus this time. She usually stuck to him like glue.
Beryl shook her head and asked sweetly, “Grandma, what’s a ball? I heard from the maid outside that
there’s going to be a ball.”
