The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 61

Sylvia's POV:

I didn't deny it directly. "You were the one who was talking to Prince Rufus outside the door of my room last night, right?"

"You know that too? My goodness!" Blair was even more surprised. With his mouth agape with incredulity, he finally gave in. He sighed and said, "Well, you are right. It was Rufus who asked me to pretend to be a new student to take care of you and prevent you from being bullied again." Blair pursed his lips as he explained. Then he shrugged, seemingly annoyed.

"Then..."

"But Rufus didn't let me interfere with the exam. He absolutely believes in your strength," Blair interrupted when I was about to say something. He looked so anxious. Perhaps he was worried that I would misunderstand things.

I laughed out loud. "I knew it. I just wanted to ask if Prince Rufus would be angry with you if he found out that you told me everything."

"No, he won't. We're old friends," Blair said with confidence. Then he hammered his chest with his fist and added with confidence, "He won't do anything to me."

After talking with Blair for a while more, I said goodbye to him and continued walking to the dormitory.

"My dear, when did you find out that Blair's appearance was Rufus' arrangement?" Yana was so shocked that she screamed in my head.

"I actually didn't know," I replied casually.

"What?" Yana sounded confused. She obviously didn't understand what I meant.

"Rufus is already twenty-eight years old. He is the eldest prince and the heir to the throne. He is so powerful. But the king hasn't officially announced the heir yet. Instead, he has trained Prince Richard more and let him participate in political affairs. He even handed over the military school to him. What does it mean?" I asked Yana with a wry smile.

"That... Maybe a fatherly love? That's right! It's the king's love for Prince Richard," Yana replied firmly.

"Yana, you don't understand," I said helplessly and sighed. "Rufus is actually in a difficult position. He is now in a state of being attacked from both sides. On the one hand, the king has been putting a lot of pressure on him. On the other hand, Prince Richard wants to outshine him aggressively. Do you understand now?"

"Yes, I understand now," Yana said in a listless and disappointed tone of voice.

"That's why the fiancee the queen had chosen for him was the most suitable one. It's best for his future. In his current situation, having a slave mate will only put him at a disadvantage. Rufus has done so many things for me, so I don't want to implicate him anymore. I only hope that he can live a good life," I said indifferently, looking at the distance. I was not only telling it to Yana but also reminding myself.
