Chapter 1108 Not Worth It


    Crystal''s POV:


    Ad panicked and immediately backtracked, only, she sounded even more ridiculous than before. "l— You misunderstood what I said. Yes, I can


    swim, but you pushed me so suddenly that I wasn''t able to get my bearings. And—and my legs cramped as well!"


    "Ah, so you''re changing your story now? Are you sure this will be the final version?" I gave her a mocking smirk. It was genuine, too. I really was


    amused by her tant disy of stupidity.


    "I don''t know what you mean. All I know is that you tried to kill me!" Ad’s eyes glinted with malice. Gone was the gentle innocence she had shown


    Rufus and Laura.


    I sauntered over to her and crouched to meet her eye level. "The news that you saved the king from the water is widespread in the pce. You say


    that I tried to kill you by pushing you into the water? Do you think I''m dumb like you?"


    Ad flushed at my words. "It''s not that strange! People could have died from being pushed into the water without prior precautions!”


    "No, but what is strange is that you don''t seem to know much about the imperial pce, despite your incessant ims of being the future queen. In


    order to prevent unfortunate idents like drowning, the pends and pools in the imperial pce were purposely designed to be shallow. And average


    adult can stand in the water, and the surface would only reach their chest. If I was really trying to drown you, why would I choose amunal area


    with shallow waters instead of some remoteke or, better vet, the open sea? If I were that foolish, I would have been ousted as the Alpha of the


    border a long time ago." I stood up and snapped a branch off the nearest tree. Then, I swiped at Ad, grazing her cheek with the rough edge of the


    wood.


    Our little audience cried out in unison.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Ad dazedly stared at the branch on the ground. She reached up and touched the scratch on her face, tiny specks of blood smearing her fingers.


    "You do want to kill me!" she screamed


    I winced and covered my ears. Damn, this bogus she-wolf sounded worse than a pig being dragged to ughter. I suppose it shouldn''t be surprising


    for her to fail time and time again when she was this mindless.


    "You see?" I challenged her. "If I wanted to kill you, a mere branch would be enough. Why would I bother causing so much just to get rid of you?" I


    shed her a taunting smile.


    Ad scrambled to her feet and pointed a finger at me. "You all heard that, didn''t you?" she addressed the crowd. "She just admitted that she wanted


    to kill me! Seize her!"


    Unfortunately for her, no one made a


    move. Even the guards all stood


    behind me in silence. Their eyes,” ;


    previgusly regarding Ad with


    respect, were now narrowed in


    undisguised suspicion. Content

    "What do you mean by this, huh?" Ad demanded, refusing to believe that no one was siding with her. Sheunched herself into another bout of


    CECH


    I clicked my tongue in annoyance. "Quit with your act, or you''ll only make aughingstock out of yourself.”


    Instead of heeding my advice, however, Ad cried even harder. She kept calling for Rufus to deliver justice.


    "You''re the one who cut my face, yet you''re making it lock like I''m the one at fault!” Ad red at me and cupped her hand over the scratch on her


    cheek


    She sounded like I had just dealt her a fatal wound.


    I couldn''t holdback myughter


    anymore. ‘Please, if you want Rufus


    to know about this so badly, then >


    feel free to look for him yourself But


    I''m afraid that the scratch on your


    facewill start fading into a scar long


    before he spares you a nce."


    The paltry little cut looked nothing more than a single stroke of pen on paper. It wasn''t even bleeding anymore.


    "You!" Ad bit her lips and balled her hands into fists. She looked like she might lunge at me at any moment.


    Well, it woudtd be her loss if she


    decided to engage in a fight with.


    me. This second-rate she-wolf. as


    no match forme at all. Also, I


    couldn''t be bothered to raises hand


    agai inst her. It just wasn''t worth it.


    Just as the situation was about to reach a crescendo, a she-wolf wearing a hat with purple gauze veil gracefully stepped forward. "What is going on


    here?" she asked gently.


    It was Lucy.
