Sylvia's POV:
Sure enough, by the time Rufus and I burst into his room, our worst fears were confirmed. The potted plant on the bedside table had been smashed, and the blooming flower had been trampled into pieces.
I held the remnants of the flower in my hands carefully and felt my heart shatter.
Now that the flower was gone, the curse on Rufus couldn't be removed.
My brain was a mess. I had no idea what to do.
Just then, Rufus' men had captured someone and brought her to us. It was the she-wolf who had deceived me earlier.
I grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her angrily. "Why?! Why would you do such a thing?" The she-wolf was no longer as timid and shy as before. She smiled complacently and said with disdain, "Rufus is a monster. He doesn't deserve to be a prince, let alone a king."
After saying that, she pushed me away and tried to kill herself, but Rufus quickly stopped her.
Soon, Rufus' men subdued her and she couldn't move.
"Take her away and interrogate her. Find out who's behind this." Rufus also ordered his men to investigate the she-wolf's close connections in the army.
I watched from aside and felt guilt and despair. If it weren't for me, Rufus wouldn't have been lured out of his room.
Anger, shame, and regret occupied my heart. I was so stupid! How could I have fallen for such a dumb trick? Slalch Thi Find_Nøvel.let website on Gøøgli to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Sylvia, find a clean pot and replant the flower. Maybe it can still live. I doubt Noreen's things are that fragile," Yana suggested.
I sniffed and snapped back to reality. Following Yana's instructions, I found a clean pot, tidied up the soil and the flower, but the flower was too withered. There was no way to fix it.
I dug my bare hands into the soil and tears welled up in my eyes. Our last glimmer of hope was snuffed in the blink of an eye.
"Don't cry, Sylvia. The soil was nourished with Noreen's blood. Perhaps it has other uses." Yana refused to give up and asked me to dig the soil up and seal it away.
But as soon as I found a plastic bag and was about to pack the soil in it, I found that the color of the soil had changed from red to normal. Now, I was certain that it was completely useless. Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.
Rufus came back in after he instructed his people to deal with the she-wolf. He was startled when he heard me crying. He knelt down next to me and asked, "Honey, what's wrong?"
"It was all my fault. I was so easily fooled..." I cried so hard that I couldn't catch my breath. I wiped my tears away with my filthy hands. As a result, my face was covered with mud, and I felt even more dejected. This made Rufus burst into laughter.
I stopped crying and looked at him in confusion. How could he still laugh like this?
