Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince

Chapter 1142 The One Who Used To Live Here

Crystal's POV:

I gave serious consideration to the idea that Adela might have orchestrated this whole thing, but in the end I decided against accepting it.

Adela had just turn 18, and this was her first time entering the palace.

Her actions up to this point suggested she was still a young girl with not much life experience.

If she was truly that cunning, she would have fabricated a perfectly plausible story in front of Rufus and Laura, and she wouldn't have made things less favorable for herself on numerous occasions.

Evidently, she lacked the mental capacity to conceive of or carry out such a plan.

In addition, Rufus was the one who arranged for my accommodation.

There was a lot of uncertainty involved.

Adela might know the secret passage to a particular room, but she couldn't possibly know all the secret passages in the imperial palace.
