The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 56

Sylvia's POV:

As soon as I finished my words, Rufus was stunned. Then the atmosphere around us stiffened again.

I was too straightforward, and I couldn't help regretting it.

"It's not that I don't want to stay here," I said tentatively, looking at him cautiously.

"Then why do you prefer to stay in the school dormitory?" Rufus' hand holding the spoon froze in midair. There was no emotion in his voice when he asked.

He didn't look unhappy. In fact, he looked patient. But my heart was inexplicably restless.

"It's just that... it's too troublesome to go back and forth. And I want to fit in the class and concentrate on training," I explained.

But I knew very well that they were just my excuses. The real reason was that I found that I was already attracted to Rufus. I had to stop it before my feelings for him deepened. And the most direct and effective way was to stay away from him.

Rufus didn't object anymore. He just agreed in a low voice, as if he didn't care at all.

While eating the porridge, I felt my heart ached a little. Why didn't he try to continue persuading me? Maybe if he persuaded me a little more, I would decide to stay here.

There was no further conversation between us. When I finished eating, he just told me to have a good rest and left. He looked very calm, but I felt that he was a little unhappy.

The next day, Rufus didn't come to see me. He only asked Maya to take me to the academy. I was disappointed for no reason, but I immediately discarded such a feeling in my heart. Rufus was a busy person, so it was normal that he didn't come.

When I arrived at the academy, my mood lightened up again, and I became excited. I never thought that a day would come that I would get the chance to go to the Royal Military School.

"But I only ranked eighth in the speed test, and my performance in the strength test was only okay. You were there, and you saw it yourself. Although the specific scores have not been released yet, many students were better than me on that test." As I said this, I was also a bit frustrated.

"But maybe those students have poor scores in other tests," Harry said to comfort me.

"Stop dreaming!"

A woman's voice interrupted our conversation. When I turned my head, I saw Cherry standing not far away, sneering at me.

"Have you forgotten who you are?" Cherry asked in a voice dripping with sarcasm.

But I just ignored her because at this moment the big screen lit up, and the rankings were finally displayed.
