The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 1242

Adela's POV:

"Your Majesty, you can't defame me without any proof! I don't know what kind of spell can make someone mistake their mate. If you really disapprove of me, just kick me out of the imperial palace."

I worked hard to keep my voice calm and face Rufus ' interrogation. If he continued to question me this way, I would have to attempt to commit suicide to prove my innocence. I didn't believe he would really let me die.

After all, he didn't have any evidence. He couldn't execute me simply on the basis of some wizard's words.

"Kick you out of the palace?" Rufus burst out laughing as if I had cracked a joke. "That's giving you the easy way out."

He stood up and approached me slowly, looking down his nose at me. "Since I'm questioning you directly today, I don't need any proof."

Then he issued the order to lock me up.

I panicked and shrieked, "Your Majesty, you can't do this! I'm your mate."

"That's ridiculous!" Rufus snapped, interrupting my pleas. His eyes were shining with cruelty, which made me shudder. I didn't have the courage to utter another word.

"Take her away. When the one-month period is up, and the spell has become ineffective, execute her immediately," Rufus instructed.

I was so terrified that I blurted out, "I'm pregnant!

You can't throw me in prison!"

The atmosphere became tense. The guards turned their eyes toward Rufus, waiting for further instructions.
