Chapter 423 - Saving Her Cursed Lycan Prince

I was so enraged that I pulled at my hair and slammed my fist into the wall to vent out my rage.

Even the red wine lost its taste at the moment.

I was unwilling to admit that I was getting nervous.

Rufus was looking very confident. Had he discovered a new way to remove the curse?

I inhaled deeply, forcing myself to calm down. It wasn’t night yet, which was when the curse usually attacked Rufus. He must be faking calm right now.

The minutes ticked by. The darkness came quickly.

A bright beam of moonlight streamed into the room, reminding me that it was almost midnight.

However, Rufus looked alright on the live TV.

During dinner, he even displayed the antique tableware he had collected in front of everyone. He looked serene and seemed to be unbothered by any Curse.

What had happened?

I was getting increasingly flustered. I nibbled on a few bites of the cold dinner that had been served on the tea table. I had lost my appetite.

The ashtray was soon overflowing with cigarette butts. I rubbed my crumpled coat, my heart sinking to the pit of my stomach. Compared to Rufus, who was talking and laughing during the webcast, I felt like a clown.

Rufus calmly bade goodbye to the audience when the bell chimed at midnight. “Thank you. For coming to watch my webcast today and witness history. I believe you have now understood that I am no longer under the influence of the curse. I will give no further explanation and leave you to draw your own conclusions.”

As I soon as Rufus finished speaking, comments began pouring in pointing out that the curse on him had truly been lifted.

It was obvious that this webcast had improved Rufus’ reputation further. He already had a legion of fans who liked his handsome looks, and now he had gained even more fans who favored his political views. Almost instantly, he was the leading candidate for the throne, My heart sank. Sitting on the sofa, I was shocked and didn’t know what to do.

As the webcast interface went blank, silence returned to the room. Darkness engulfed me again, and my ability to think came to a stop at this moment.

I didn’t know how much time had passed when I heard some noises outside the room.

I raised my head and peeked out of the window.

The lights in the garden were on.

Soon, Rufus and the king barged in with a group of werewolves.

I turned my head numbly, the ominous feeling in my heart growing stronger.

This time, I seemed to be completely doomed.

Rufus’ POV

“Arrest Prince Richard.” I ordered my men to capture Richard, who sat there numbly without betraying any emotion.

When my men got closer to him, he abruptly got to his feet and took two steps back. His clothes were wrinkled and stained with splashes of red wine. He looked as if he had just woken up from a drunken slumber.

“You!

How can you arrest me?”

Noting that he was still obstinate despite his current situation, I scoffed coldly and ordered my subordinates, “Bring her in.”

They approached with the female officer who had deceived Sylvia and was now covered in blood.

Richard looked even more taken aback. He was flustered and no sound came from his mouth.

The female officer knelt on the floor, her face drenched with tears. She didn’t dare meet Richard’s eyes.

Richard eyed her with disappointment. “You confessed everything?”

“Yes, she confessed everything. I’ve discovered all your hidden spies, both in the army and the imperial palace. Richard, there is no way for you to escape this time. Just surrender.”

My half-brother finally snapped back to reality at that moment. He charged at me like an out-of-control wild horse. “Were you fucking mocking me?”

I placed my hands on his shoulders to control him and replied with a smile, “What did I do to you? I just learned a few tricks from you.”

I had no intention of doing anything to him. But on the day of the welcome party, he had landed up uninvited and behaved so arrogantly. So, I changed my mind.

Hidden dangers were just like a disaster that was waiting to happen, and they should always be nipped in the bud the soonest possible.

“Is that flower was fake? It couldn’t lift the curse at all? You were lying to me! I wondered how anyone could know your situation so precisely. It turns out that you were the mastermind of this plot.” Richard’s eyes turned red with despair and insanity.

Feeling disgusted, I shoved him away and frostily said, “The flower was real. IE’s just that my curse had been removed before that.

I didn’t know that the curse had been lifted until the day after the press conference. At that time, I had felt the dull ache in my head cease suddenly, and even the cruelty buried in the depths of my body had completely disappeared. That was when I guessed that the curse had been removed.

Later, my spies found out about Richard’s secret actions, so I pretended to play along and set a trap for him.

Richard, who had assumed that his plan had succeeded, was immersed in the joy of victory. He had no idea that his men had betrayed him and given him up after he was grounded.

As for the female officer, she was quite loyal to him.

During her interrogation, she repeatedly tried to commit suicide, but we managed to stop her at the last moment every time.

Under the physical and mental torture, she finally cracked and confessed about Richard’s hidden spies.

Richard shook his head in disbelief. “Your curse had been removed? How is it possible? Then, you sent me that message on purpose? In order to lure me into a trap, so that you could take the opportunity to eliminate my men? What a good plan! Rufus, you said I was heartless, but in reality, you are the truly heartless one!”

I frowned and didn’t understand him. “What message?”

“The anonymous message you Sent to me! Didn’t you send it to me?”

“I haven’t sent you any message.” I didn’t want to argue with him anymore. I glanced at our father, who had been standing silently this whole time.
