Chapter 1115


    Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight


    Chapter 1115 Rufus’ Heir


    Lucy’s POV:


    After reasoning with her, Ad finally gave up the idea of sounding Rufus out.


    I didn’t have the patience to pander to her idiocy much longer, so after giving her a few more words of


    comfort, I immediately sent her away.


    Once she was gone, I went to the study on the second floor. I removed the knick-knacks lining one of


    the shelves and took out a metal key from a hidden grove. I inserted it to its designated keyhole and let


    myself into the adjoining secret room.


    It was by no means arge space, just a cozy nook I used to store Kyle’s ashes.


    Back then, I had sent someone to collect Kyle’s body in secret, but all that was left at the site were a


    pile of bones. He had long been devoured by wild beasts. I stroked the carved lines on the urn before


    pressing my lips against its surface. If Richard hadn’t meddled with us, I might have had aplete


    and happy family right now. Firman wouldn’t suffer public criticism and bullying, and we wouldn’t be


    living such a pathetic and miserable life.


    I took a deep breath to steady my emotions. I had lost count of the times I hade here and wept,


    but I still cried whenever I thought of Kyle.


    I missed him so much. I would give anything to have him back, alive and safe.


    The only light in my bleak existence hade and gone so quickly, as if it were nothing more than a


    dream.


    I hate them all—Richard, Rufus, Crystal, and my cruel bastard of a father.


    Since Richard’s downfall, my father had disowned me and focused on his another daughter, hoping this


    new pawn of a daughter could help him achieved his ambition. No one cared whether I was alive or


    dead, and I almost didn’t, either. All I cared about was Kyle’s child.


    Power was the currency in the imperial capital, and it was next to impossible to make a single move


    without a strong backer. Although Firman was acknowledged as a member of the royal family, his


    association with Richard deemed him deserving to be looked down upon. Even the son of a Beta from


    a small, unknown pack would have no qualms about bullying him.


    The thought made me clench my fists. I wanted to punish everyone who had dared toy a hand on my


    son. I wanted to kill them all!


    What made my situation all the worse was the fact that I couldn’t even get back at those people.


    Rufus was still the king. I would only be submitting myself to certain death if I was too hasty and


    careless.


    It was a good thing that Rufus had never married or sired any children in thest five years. As long as


    Rufus never bore an heir, the throne would inevitably go to Firman—his brother’s son.


    I had been drugging that moron, Ad, through the scented tea that she loved so much. She drank it


    every time she visited, not knowing that it would make her infertile. It was also one of the reasons why I


    helped her get to where she was today. I was secure in the knowledge that she would never pose a


    threat to Firman and me.


    Of course, that idiot had no clue. She probably thought I was a kind, magnanimous person under my


    rough exterior. I counted myself lucky that she was so stupid, or my n wouldn’t have yed out so


    perfectly.


    The only problem was that she was too vain and self-centered. I needed some time to rein her in and


    hone her wit to keep her from sabotaging herself.


    I thought back to the encounter this afternoon, and my heart suddenly felt heavy inside my chest.


    Despite Crystal’s im that she was wearing a mask to hide her disfigured face, I knew that it was just


    part of her disguise. She was Sylvia—I was sure of that.


    The smallest details and her unique mannerisms would fool no one, no matter how much her


    appearance might have changed.


    I scoffed when I recalled how Crystal was still a goody two shoes. She had instantly softened after


    hearing that Firman was being bullied.


    I initially had no intentions to do anything to her since she really helped my boy, but she had


    reappeared with Rufus’ child, which effectively messed up my ns.


    If Rufus learned of this, he would surely make that boy his heir, and Firman would lose his chance to sit


    on the throne.


    There was no way I would let that happen. The crown belonged to Firman alone, no one else.


    Since I couldn’t touch Rufus, I would just have to settle with the boy. Crystal had done a good job of


    hiding him. Rufus was probably unaware that he had a son.

    In that case, I should just get rid of the boy, and all of our problems would be solved. I would eliminate


    a threat to Firman’s ascension to the throne, and Crystal wouldn’t have to be worried about Rufus


    discovering the existence of his son. Really, she should thank me for my efforts.
