Chapter 1059


    Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight


    Chapter 1059 The Letter Opener


    Crystal’s POV:


    The Alpha of the Cherry Bay Pack was called Sorrell Estrada. He was unable to attend the parade


    because he was ill, so the Beta of the pack hade in his stead.


    Sure enough, Sorrell did appear to be a seriously ill person. His face was as pale as a sheet, and there


    was barely any color in his lips.


    I picked up the tea cup I was served, but did not drink its contents. I sat there, smiling as I spouted


    halfhearted praises for the development of the Cherry Bay Pack.


    Not once did Sorrell betray his emotions. Even his voice was monotonous. If I didn’t know better, I


    would have thought he was a robot. Strangely, though, he looked straight at me when he spoke. I felt


    as though he was peering into my soul, and I bristled with unease.


    Another odd thing was the fact that he never asked about my identity, nor did he seem inclined to do


    so. Instead, he ushered me inside without even asking why the royal family had sent me.


    After some consideration, I decided to breach the subject first. “The royal family sent me here to meet


    with the lycan king,” I said slowly.


    “His Majesty is not here,” Sorrell said in a low voice as he turned his listless eyes out the window. He


    looked like his soul had somehow been cleaved from his b*ody.


    “The king is not here? When did he leave?” I pressed.


    I was getting miffed by this old man’s attitude. “I haven’t seen the king for a long time. It looks like


    you’vee to the wrong ce.” Sorrell turned to face me, his lips automatically curling into a smile.


    Rage and anxiety roiled inside me. I knocked the table over without thinking and demanded, “What do


    you mean by that? After the surprise attack against your pack, King Rufus set out to investigate the


    incident himself. How can you say that he has note?”


    Sorrell remained calm, almost indifferent. He acted like everything I had just said was none of his


    business. “There was no surprise attack.”


    I stared at Sorrell’s nk face, growing more livid by the minute. “You are lying! All the soldiers from the


    Royal Army who hade here to aid you are missing. The least you can do is give me an


    exnation.”


    “What exnation? King Rufus did note to the Cherry Bay Pack. This is the truth. It is up to you to


    believe it or not. As for the missing soldiers, I daresay that there is no such thing.” To my horror,


    Sorrell’s expression shifted, and he suddenly shed me an eerie smile.


    “You!”


    I didn’t have many expectations before I came here, but I never imagined this pack’s Alpha to be like


    this. My intuition told me that something was not right. Sorrell must be lying. If the Royal Army’s


    soldiers had not gone missing, Rufus would have nevere himself.

    But since it seemed like I wasn’t going to get any useful information from Sorrell, I turned on my heel


    and made to leave.


    “Let me see you out.” Sorrell instantly got to his feet. I wanted to scoff his offer away, but then I spotted


    a letter opener protruding from a crack in the floor tile just beside the overturned table. The de was


    pointed upward, and Sorrell was about to step on it. It was toote for me to warn him. Sorrell stepped


    on it, piercing his foot in one, steady motion.


    I s*cked in a breath and looked at his face. It remained stiff and emotionless, as if he didn’t feel any


    pain at all.


    My heart caught in my throat. The scenes from a while ago yed back inside my head, and I finally


    understood what was wrong.


    “Why have you stopped? Is there anything wrong?” Sorrell asked like nothing had happened.


    I could feel the coldness of my gaze as it met his. “As a matter of fact, there is one more thing I had yet


    to deal with.”
