    Chapter 1004 An Oppressive Interrogation


    Flora’s POV:


    My anxiety subsided upon hearing Rufus’ question, because Crystal and I had discussed it. So now, I


    knew exactly what to tell him.


    Rufus was the king, and his men were all over the imperial pce. He must have known that I spent


    last night at Crystal’s ce. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent someone to look for me at there so early


    in the morning.


    ording to Crystal, Rufus was very wary of her now, so it was only normal for him to doubt and


    investigate people around her, including me.


    I quickly thought about it and lied, “When I first met Crystal in the imperial capital, it was like we had


    known one other for a long time, and we soon became friends. Before this, I had no prior acquaintance


    with her.”


    “Are you sure?” The intensity in Rufus’ gaze caused me to sweat profusely.


    I answered in a panic, “Yes.” I couldn’t get Crystal involved in this, not even if Rufus f0rced the hell out


    of me.


    “Crystal is rted to Leonard, right?” Rufus asked again. I didn’t dare to look up. My thoughts raced as


    I tried to understand what Rufus meant. Had he known that Crystal was Leonard’s biological daughter?


    In an effort to collect my thoughts, I took a deep breath.


    No matter what Rufus asked me, I could only keep my answers vague. So I murmured, “Oh really? It


    could be…”


    Rufus snorted, “Could be? You are the Luna of the Silver Moon Pack. You don’t know that?”


    At this point, I almost wanted to cry. In a panic, I sputtered back, “I didn’t get to know Alpha Leonard


    very well because he passed away before I married Warren. And Warren has never mentioned Crystal


    before.”


    “You grew up in Silver Moon Pack and you’ve never heard of her? ording to my investigation,


    Leonard dotes on Crystal very much. If he didn’t trust Crystal enough, he wouldn’t have suggest her to


    be the Alpha of the border pack.” Rufus gave me a chilly stare while talking, and my heart sank with


    every word he said. It seemed that Crystal was right. Rufus had already investigated her secretly.


    “I was just a powerless Omega at that time. It’s normal that I didn’t hear of that. Besides, Crystal is just


    Leonard’s distant rtive. She had always been defiant, and when she reached adulthood, she


    decided to strike out on her own instead of continuing to live with the pack. She has once made a war


    merit at the border. That’s why the former king agreed with Leonard’s suggestion and let Crystal be the


    Alpha of the border pack.” I ducked my head and gave a deliberate response. Even though I was


    shaking uncontrobly, I couldn’t let Rufus find out that I was lying, because that would be sort of an


    offense to the king.


    After hearing what I said, Rufus was silent for some time. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At first, I


    thought I had fooled Rufus, but then he let out a frigidugh that sent chills down my spine. At this


    point, I just wanted to die right there and then.

    “You said that you had never heard about Crystal before you met her in the capital. So how did you


    know that she was rebellious when she was young and she had made contributions to the war? From


    the way you said it, it seemed that you knew these things so clearly. Are you gonna continue lying to


    me until the end?” An enraged Rufus patted the arm of the couch.


    I took a deep cold breath, feeling as if I just fell into an ice cer. The panic and fear made me a little


    suffocated. Only then did I realize that the man sitting in front of me was not the same Rufus I knew five


    years ago. He was not that distant and impersonal back then. Now, he was an indifferent king who only


    knew the right and wrong. Any word I said could bring disaster to my pack and even to Warren.


    I swallowed, and cold sweat dripped from my forehead.


    The chilly sweat trickled down my forehead as I took a deep breath and swallowed.


    “I just forgot it at first. But Your Majesty, now that you’ve mentioned, I remembered having heard about


    Crystal before.” I answered in a trembling voice.


    Rufus asked meaningfully, “In other words, you only met Crystal for the first time in the imperial capital


    and you had no prior acquaintance with her? And it was instantaneous friendship for the both of you?”


    I stammered, “Yes. Absolutely!”


    “Well, that’s interesting.” Rufus sneered as if he had heard a big joke.


    I gulped nervously, unsure of what he meant.


    “Now tell me, why did Crystal’s photos appear on your Facebook and Instagram six years ago?” Rufus


    sneered at me again, as if he was looking at a clown.
