Rufus' POV:
After putting Beryl to sleep, I left her room and went downstairs. I swept my eyes around the living room, but didn't spot the she-wolf I was seeking.
"Who are you looking for? Crystal left." My mother was sitting at the table and leisurely sipping her coffee.
"I'm stepping out for a while." After saying that, I quickly marched out of the lycan king's palace.
My mind flashed back to seeing Crystal sneaking around the forbidden forest today, and I had no clue about what she was doing there. So I would have to go to the forest again.
We passed the City Hall and then the Royal Military School, but I kept walking forward.
My bodyguard kept pace with me and asked, "Your Majesty, are we going the wrong way? This path leads to the forbidden forest."
"That's our destination. I need to confirm something," I replied.
Crystal must have done some unknown deed in the forbidden forest. I quickened my steps and reached the entrance. The sun had already set. Except for a few lamps at the entrance of the forbidden forest, everything else was pitch-black.
I turned on the torch on my phone and entered the forbidden forest. A faint stench of death came from afar, pulling me into the forest. My spirits lifted and I focused on finding its source.
