The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 1114

Adela's POV:

"That's impossible!"

I immediately refuted Lucy's words with a vehemence I didn't know I was capable of. I even knocked over my tea cup by accident.

The sound of shattering china was unnaturally loud in my head. I could tell that I was going through shock.

"But that woman is a sinner... She was executed, wasn't she?" I murmured in disbelief, as if saying it out loud would make it the truth.

If that woman was truly alive, then Rufus would definitely not want me. Rufus had loved her so much. If she appeared before him now, I knew that he would never let her go.

I leaned over in a trance and grabbed Lucy's arm. "You must have made a mistake. You must have remembered it wrong! What makes you so sure that it was her?"

Lucy impatiently shook my hand away. "I was in the imperial palace at the time of her persecution. However, everything happened so fast that I wasn't able to keep up. By the time I tried to investigate more thoroughly, every single piece of information on her has been wiped out. Now that I think about it, someone must have done it deliberately to cover up for her."

Lucy sneered before continuing. "Rufus has just proposed to that bitch right before the incident happened. He really cares about her. Everyone in the kingdom knows how devoted they were to each other."

Hearing that made my heart freeze. When Lucy looked at me again, there was a hint of pity in her eyes. "Rufus completely changed after she died. It was almost like he had no memory of her at all. Laura then forbade anyone to mention her again, until the matter slowly faded into oblivion."

I grasped at the most obvious mystery of all and blurted out, "But how is that possible? Why would Rufus suddenly forget about her just like that? Besides, I didn't hear anything about him losing his memory before."
