Sylvia’s POV:
I walked up to Blair as if I saw a savior.
"Sir, please help me get out. I really must see Rufus today."
"Why do you want to see him?" Blair asked with a frown.
I was silent for a moment before I answered, "I can help him."
Blair didn’t say anything.He seemed hesitant, and I knew why.
But there were too many werewolves present, so I couldn’t be too straightforward.I was so anxious that
I paced back and forth.
Then I turned to him and said, "I don’t know how to explain it to you, but please trust me.I really can
help him."
Blair thought for a while.
Then finally, he made up his mind.
"Okay.I trust you, Sylvia."
After saying this, he approached the leader of the guards and signed a note for me.
The leader of the guards glared at me.
But with the note from a teacher in his hand, he finally ordered his men to let me go.
"I’ll leave Rufus to you.Go ahead."
Blair patted me on the head like a loving brother.
I nodded at him gratefully and said, "Thank you."
Then I ran all the way to Rufus’ palace without hesitation.
But as soon as I arrived at the door, I was stopped by the palace guards again.
I ignored them and called out Rufus’ name aloud, but no one responded.I wondered if the curse was
attacking him now.I took a deep breath and ran a few steps.Then I held one of the guards’ shoulders
for support and leaped over.
The guards were stunned as if they didn’t expect my sudden move.
As soon as they came back to their senses, they chased after me.
I quickly went up the stairs and rushed forward at the fastest speed I had ever made in my life.
Overjoyed that I got away from them, I continued to run forward regardless of anything.
After passing through a gallery of frescoes, I arrived at Rufus’ room.
A black chain was tied on the door of his room, and the surroundings were terribly quiet, giving off an
ominous atmosphere.
I looked back and found that the guards, who were chasing me, had stopped far away.
They just strained their necks and didn’t dare to approach me.I knocked on the door without hesitation.
"Rufus, are you okay?" I pressed my head against the door, trying to hear any sound inside.
But there was nothing.
I turned to the guards in the distance and shouted, "Open the door!"
The guards shook their heads in refusal.I could see the trace of fear on their faces.
"Don’t make things difficult for us.Prince Rufus firmly told us that no one is allowed to open the door."
"If you don’t dare to open it, I’ll do it myself."
I fiddled with the chain angrily, trying to ask the guards to give me the keys.
But the guards still refused to come forward, looking very afraid.
"You’d better leave.It will be good for everyone."
"Then just throw the keys to me.I’ll take responsibility for whatever happens."
I was like a brave and lonely soldier, trying my best to cut the thorns at my feet to find and protect the
love of my life.
For the first time in my life, I was determined to go forward with a burning obsession in my heart.
The cowardice and indecision in me had long disappeared.I became even braver when it came to
Rufus.
"No.Prince Rufus will definitely blame us if we do that."
The guards took a few steps back.
"Don’t bother.This chain was specially made according to Prince Rufus’ instruction.It can’t be opened
without the keys, so you’d better give up."
I got angry at once.
Why was I being stopped again and again? I glared at the guards fiercely.
"I will get in, with or without your help."
The guards shivered, seemingly shocked by my aura.
They were so scared that they fell silent.
I walked to the guardrail to see if there were any windows I could pass through.
But unfortunately, each of them was tightly locked.
At this moment, the sound of something falling to the floor came from the room.
My heart tightened, and I felt like I had lost my last trace of sanity.
"Rufus!"
I was so desperate that I felt a heat surge from the depths of my body, and I instantly burst out a strong
force to break the chain.
I didn’t have time to think too much.
My hand was cut by the chain fragments, but I didn’t mind it.I pushed the door open and came in. The
room was pitch black, and I couldn’t see anything.
"Rufus?" I called out softly, but no one answered.
It was so quiet that I could even hear my own breathing.
Nonetheless, I could feel something dangerous was lurking and prying in the darkness.
