Chapter 1003 See The King Alone
Flora's POV:
Stunned, I thought I misheard. "What did you say? The king wants to see me? Are you sure?"
The man nodded politely. "Absolutely. And the king wants to see you alone."
"What?! Why? Are you perhaps making a mistake? And it's my husband--Alpha Warren, that he want to see?" My heart leaped to my throat.
"Sorry, I don't know what the king's intentions are, but you're the one he wants to see and you'd better get ready to meet him as soon as possible." Then after bowing slightly, the man went out to wait for me.
My palms broke out in cold sweat. Although I had been a Luna for five years already, I had never met with Rufus alone during that time. And even when Rufus was still a prince, I was already afraid of him. Now, he was king of the empire, and his aura was even more domineering than before. If I accidentally said something wrong, I could get killed!
"Calm down. I'll go with you." Crystal reached for my hand and squeezed it reassuringly.
I shook my head, tears welling up in my eyes. "Didn't you hear what he said? Rufus only wants to see me. If we go together, that would be disobeying orders."
Crystal felt confused. "Why would Rufus suddenly want to see you so early in the morning? Did something happen to Warren?"
"Possibly!" My heart tightened in my chest and I immediately called Warren.
He didn't answer. I tried several times but was met with the busy dial tone. When I was about to give up, the call finally connected. But it was Lucas on the other end, saying that Warren was busy
cooking breakfast in the kitchen.
I heaved a sigh of relief and then hang up after telling him to be a good boy and wait for me to come back.
"Warren's fine," I said to Crystal with relief.
Frowning, she mulled over the situation carefully. "Could it be related to me?"
I shook my head. "No way! Rufus isn't that observant, is he? I was very cautious, afraid that he'd find out that we were good friends. I don't even look at you whenever we're outside!"
Crystal sighed, at a loss. "It's possible. I mean, Rufus already sent someone here to look for you. Damn! I shouldn't have quarreled with him at the ball. If I had talked to him nicely, perhaps he would've given me room to retreat. But now, I have no idea what he's planning."
I hurried to comfort her. "Don't overthink things. Maybe Rufus just wants to ask about the Sliver Moon Pack." But even I didn't believe what I said. If Rufus really wanted to know something about the pack, he could just go and ask Warren.
So the matter definitely had something to do with Crystal.
"Well, I guess that's possible. We'll never know until you go and find out."
I hugged Crystal to reassure her. After freshening up and changing my clothes, I followed the man waiting outside to see Rufus.
In the hall, I saw Rufus sitting on the throne expressionlessly, exuding an ominous aura. I keenly felt the drop in temperature as soon as I entered.
I gulped nervously and tried my best to recall what had happened lately, but I really couldn't figure out what I had done wrong. God! I should've brought Warren with me.
Despite my trepidation, I remembered my manners and bowed to Rufus respectfully.
"Have a seat." Rufus' voice was very cold, even colder than the winter winds. The hair on the back of my neck stood on end, as though a cold blade was being pressed against my neck.
The servant quickly fetched a sheepskin chair for me. I didn't dare to be complacent and sat on the edge of the chair, ready to run at a moment's notice.
Rufus was terribly scary. Both Rufus and Warren were cold people, but my Warren at least had a warm side to him. Thinking about this, I missed my husband very much.
Although I felt extremely nervous, I managed to squeeze out one question. "What's the matter, Your Majesty?" Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Rufus didn't answer. When I was beginning to think he just wanted me to sit here like a statue, he opened his mouth and asked slowly, "You knew Crystal before?"
Sure enough, this was about Crystal!
I soon breathed a sigh of relief.
