The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Crystal's POV:
The second I spotted Lucy, I instinctively wanted to turn my face away. But then I remembered that I was wearing a mask, so I pushed my instinct away. However, I didn't dare to speak anymore.
Lucy was familiar with my voice. The scandal involving her, Kyle, and Richard back then had caused a sensation. I was worried that she loathed me in her heart, so it was wise for me to be vigilant about not being recognized by her.
Adela eyed Lucy like she was her lifeline. As soon as she saw Lucy walk over, she rushed to her, grabbed her hand, and pointed one finger at me. "This damned she-wolf is a murderer. Arrest her!"
I watched them with piqued interest. My mind flashed back to my previous conversation with Laura when she had suggested that someone in the imperial palace was secretly aiding Adela. Judging from Adela's inadvertent intimacy, I guess that this person must be Lucy.
Just when I thought Lucy was going to take a stand for Adela, she slapped Adela hard, leaving her baffled.
My eyebrows flew to my hairline as this show got more interesting.
Adela covered her cheek and stared at Lucy in disbelief. "How... How dare you slap me?"
"Why shouldn't I slap you? After all, I am the wife of the former crown prince Richard and the mother of Richard's child. The person you're accusing of being a murderer is the Alpha of the border pack. You, the daughter of an Alpha of a small pack, have no right to point your finger at her just like that," Lucy snapped.
Although many years had passed by, Lucy was still the same, except for her appearance. She was as two-faced as ever.
Adela probably hadn't imagined that Lucy would humiliate her in front of everyone without hesitation. She stared at Lucy blankly for a longtime. The crowd was curious about Lucy's sudden arrival. After all, even though she had been residing in the imperial palace for a long time, she hardly appeared in front of people. The public had almost forgotten that she even existed.
Looking at the thin clothes she wore, it was easy to guess that she hadn't lived prosperously in the past few years. For the outsiders, although Lucy had given birth to a son of the royal family, she was still a sinner's wife and an outcast.
Adela began sobbing and muttered, "You all bully me."
Lucy's face darkened. She softly scolded, "Don't you understand what's going on? Why do you have to make a fool of yourself?"
Adela choked with sobs. She restrained her tears and reluctantly said, "But she embarrassed me in public."
Then she shot a glare at me.
I met her eyes frostily, not taking her attitude seriously. The crowd watching the drama unfold kept. growing. Adela shouted again, "So what if she is the Alpha of the border
pack? I'm the future queen
I curled my lips in disdain. I didn't want to be the center of attention like her, so I turned around and made to leave.
The next second, however, Adela pounced on me and was about to rip my mask off while yelling that
I was an ugly monster.
I made a quick decision and shoved her away. She slammed into the ground.
However, she quickly got to her feet and was preparing to pounce on me again, when Lucy grabbed her wrist. "Do you think the king will still want to marry you after seeing you like this?"
Lucy's words brought Adela to her senses. She pursed her lips and stood silently.
