Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1697

Chapter 1697 

The king cast a displeased look at the high priest beside him.

However, the high priest did not even look at him.

In short, the king had no intention of letting Lucy become the royal concubine.

The palace chief said, "If that's so, it's all right.Your Majesty, the next test is fortune-telling.The Cyanians are good at this.I believe his daughter won't disappoint"

"Okay.What do you know about her specialty?" the king asked.

"I've checked.She is good at geomancy.We only need to ask related questions later.And the daughter of Mordunian is good in phrenology.That's easy too" the chief palace comforted.

Only then did the king heave a sigh of relief.

Even though fortune-telling was a mysterious thing, it was somehow well-proven.

After all, it had a history of over a thousand years.

Many things were influenced by it.

With that, the final round began.

Like the palace chief expected, after they asked the first geomancy question, the lady from Cyanian furrowed her brows after first glance.

"Mr.Priest, this is not a good location.Water is an essential element in geomancy.Mountains surround this place on all sides.And it is filled with sands below.It is a bad spot!"

The sixteen-year-old girl pointed at a spot on the sand table.Her statement left the entire altar in absolute bewilderment.

The cemetery was the tomb of the chief of an ethnic group in the tribe.

However, it had been hundreds of years.It was precisely because of this tomb that the ethnic group perished.

The king and the high priest showed much admiration for this bright young lady.

Lucy's gaze darkened as she saw that.

Next was the lady from Mordunian, who was also a promising candidate.She scanned the surroundings and suddenly locked her eyes on the king's face.

Instantly, her expression changed.

"What's going on? Do you want to read phrenology for me?"

The king acted quite friendly toward her.It seemed he had already considered her as his future daughter-in-law.The lady from Mordunian immediately knelt before him.

"I wouldn't dare to.But, I see some bad omens from your Majesty's face.I..."

"Are you cursing the king?"

All of a sudden, a cold voice interrupted her.The lady from Mordunian immediately lifted her head.Her face paled in fright.

"N-No, that's not what I meant..."

"No? Then why did you say such a thing? Did you see dark shadows on the king's forehead and the sunken cheekbones, so you derived that it was the omen of death?"

Lucy stood up and accused the lady of Mordunian, who was wearing a Phoenix Coronet.She tried to embarrass the latter in front of the crowd.

At that instant, everyone at the altar went into an uproar.It is our king she is talking about.How could she say something so bold without any proof? Everyone stared at the lady who was still kneeling on the ground.

Meanwhile, the king's expression darkened after hearing what she said.
