The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 1144

Lucy's POV:

Wrapped in a blanket, I sat on the balcony and watched the snow fall from the sky as night fell. My thoughts were all over the place.

It was yet another winter without Kyle by my side.

When springtime arrived and the air warmed up, I wondered if I would finally feel better.

With that, I straightened up and drank some wine. I had to think on my feet. Apparently, Rufus had called a doctor urgently earlier, but after that, nothing else happened. I thought that Beryl should have survived.

But it didn't matter. That girl was not my real target this time.

As I kept a low profile these years, I had also quietly trained and placed trusted subordinates in the imperial palace. I had used everyone I could to execute my plan this time. Although I had indeed been too anxious, I couldn't wait any longer.

Despite Rufus' memory loss, his feelings for Sylvia did not change, even after she had changed her name and identity to Crystal. There was little certainty that they wouldn't reconcile and get back together in the future.

I wouldn't allow her son to be the heir to the throne; or my forbearance over the years would be in vain.

Firman must be given that opportunity. I'd make sure he'd succeed the throne whatever it took, even if it didn't actually belong to him.

I gulped down all the red wine and chucked the glass out the balcony. Then I turned around and

picked up the phone from the table.

It was already late. My men hadn't contacted me yet, which made me very uneasy. I was afraid that something went wrong.

"I heard that the plum trees have started to bloom in the suburbs. Once our plan has been carried out successfully, we should sneak out of the palace to enjoy the blossom," Rosa added.

I didn't say anything. Instead, I rested my chin on her shoulder and felt tired for no reason.

Since the day Richard was exiled, I had also gone down in the world. If I wanted to go out of the palace, I had to ask for permission first. And in most cases, my request was denied. As time went by, I simply gave up the idea of going out of the palace.

Later, thanks to Rosa who always came up with brilliant ideas, I was able to sneak out of the palace whenever I wanted. Although I could be out for only a short while every time, it was enough.

If not for Firman, I would have already left this place.

"Quit moping and just be happy," Rosa murmured as she licked my earlobe with the tip of her tongue.
