Sylvia's POV:
"It's a gigantic wild wolf. Its body looks very strong, but it has a round face, which makes it look cute," Maya said with a chuckle.
"A wild wolf?!" I instantly thought of Rin. Putting down the fork, I pressed Maya for details. "Is its fur grey?"
Maya nodded. "Yes. As soon as you and Prince Rufus left, the wild wolf broke into the imperial palace. It was said that it had helped a lot of soldiers during the accident, so nobody tried to drive it away. The lycan king allowed it to enter the imperial palace freely and even recorded it as a honorable member of the military!"
It had to be Rin! When the incident at the forbidden forest unfolded, Maya was seriously injured and cooped up in the hospital, so she hadn't heard about Rin and its valiant efforts until she got better.
I hadn't seen Rin ever since we parted in the forbidden forest. I wondered if she had given birth yet. I was actually planning to visit Rin in the forbidden forest on our way back from the border, but I didn't expect that she'd wait for me in the imperial palace.
"The wild wolf might be cute, but it has a bad temper. No one's allowed to get close to it. Everyone knew that it came for you, so they tried telling it that you were on a mission. It was amazing! The wild wolf seemed to understand." Maya sounded delighted as she relayed the news to me, saying that it was the first time she had ever seen a wild wolf so intelligent.
"Although it understood that you were gone, it didn't give up. It's been staying at your dormitory, waiting for you to come back. Moreover, it was so huge that it occupied the whole dormitory room, and no one was allowed to get close to it. Plus, it gained a lot of weight, so now everyone calls it the 'big fat wolf"."
I couldn't help but burst into giggles. "How'd it get fat?"
"Everyone brings it food, like raw beef and mutton. Although the big fat wolf has a bad temper, it will become as obedient as a dog when presented with the right food. It's so cute, Sylvia!" The more Maya talked about Rin, the more excited she became. She even stopped pruning the plants.
I listened to Maya talk while eating the cakes she had prepared for me. sounded like Rin had a good life these days.
Flora should've returned to our dormitory by now. Perhaps she had seen Rin.
Oh, my God! Only then did it occur to me that Flora hadn't met Rin before either. When she came to the forbidden forest for me back then, Rin was helping the injured somewhere else in the forest.
Flora was so timid and Rin was short tempered. That couldn't be a good combination. And it didn't help that Layla wasn't there to help Flora. On our way back, Layla said that she would go back to her pack first, so she had parted with us halfway.
She wouldn't be back so soon, which meant that there were only Rin and Flora left in the dormitory.
Oh, my God! Flora was pregnant!
Thinking about this, my brain suddenly buzzed.
I quickly stuffed the rest of the cake into my mouth and packed all the chocolate eclairs into a box, intending to bring them to Flora.
But I had swallowed too fast and choked on the cake.
I punched my chest to knock it out, which gave Maya a fright.
"Miss Todd, there's no need to rush. We still got plenty of cakes."
I waved my hand to calm her down. After downing the whole cup of tea, I was finally able to breathe normally. slath the FindNøvil.not website on Gøøgli to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
I didn't dare to delay, so I gathered all my things and started to run. "Tell Rufus that I'm going back to the army and that I won't be having dinner with him tonight."
"Okay! Miss Todd, don't run! You might fall!"
"Don't worry about me!"
Without stopping, I waved at Maya and left Rufus' palace.
