The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 947

Crystal's POV:

Although I had only met Rufus several times since coming back here, I could keenly sense just how much he had changed. He was much more indifferent than the Rufus I once knew. Now that he was king, he had become colder and crueler.

Perhaps that was what Rufus was like before he met me.

I felt bad, seeing Rufus again under these circumstances. I tried to comfort myself and thought about how lucky I was to have seen his soft side previously.

When I came to the imperial capital this time, I thought that I could restrain my feelings for Rufus. But the moment I saw him, I couldn't ignore the love I had for him all these years.

Fortunately, the mask concealed the bitterness in my face and the unrequited love in my eyes.

I watched Rufus onstage and was deeply attracted to him.

Afraid that he'd remember me, I was always so nervous whenever I crossed paths with Rufus and never had the time to look at him carefully.

Now that I was standing amidst a crowd, I stared at Rufus intently, drinking in every detail about him.

When Rufus was still a prince, he had garnered a lot of fans. It didn't help that he was handsome and elegant, which made the she-wolves swoon. Everyone loved beautiful things. So even though Rufus seemed ruthless and cruel now, there were plenty of noble ladies who wanted to take pictures of Rufus.

I was soon pushed to the corner and almost crushed against the wall. Although they didn't dare to make a sound, these noble ladies still shoved and elbowed each other in an effort to find a good spot.

Someone even stepped on my high-heeled shoe and left a dirty footprint on it. I took out a handkerchief to wipe it, but just as I was about to squat down, someone pushed me forward again.

I lost my balance and was flung forward. My hat fell off my head and my forehead hit the marble floor closest to the stage.
