Chapter 114 A Heart-to-heart Talk On The Lawn
Warren's POV:
When I saw Sylvia lie on the grass in silence, I followed her. I lay beside her, rested my hands on the back of my head, and looked at the vast starry sky. It had been a long time since I had such a good time. When I was still in the pack, I seldom met strong opponents. Alina was simply too delicate and she didn't like fighting at all.
For the first time, I had a satisfying fight, and it made me so happy. I didn't expect that one day, I would fight with a slave, a she-wolf who looked extremely thin and weak.
I turned my head and looked at Sylvia with complicated emotions in my heart. Her eyes were closed, and she seemed to be thinking about something. Watching her demure side face calmed me down inexplicably.
I never thought that a time would come that I would enjoy the moon and stars with Sylvia so peacefully. It turned out that the two of us could one day become frenemies who really appreciated each other.
I had to admit that Sylvia had really made great progress. In such a short time, she learned and withstood my every move. Now, I even felt that it was a little difficult to deal with her. I was afraid that I would be no match for her soon.
When I heard her whisper something about the ball, I sat up guiltily. If it weren't for me, she would have been at the ball now.
Seeing the lonely look on Sylvia's face, I couldn't help feeling sorry for her. But I could only apologize to her.
She didn't say anything. She just glanced at me quietly and then looked away again.
This made me even more confused. What was she thinking about? Many words crossed my mind, but none of them could break the current dull atmosphere.
"What's your relationship with Prince Rufus? Do you like him?" As soon as these words came out of my mouth, I felt like slapping myself. I really shouldn't have mentioned Prince Rufus.
Sylvia still didn't say a word. She just looked indifferent, like a calm lake without any waves.
"It's okay if you don't want to answer. I shouldn't have asked anyway." I smiled awkwardly. When I tried to change the topic, Sylvia called out my name.
She sat up, pursed her lips, and smiled at me as if she didn't mind my abruptness.
"My mother used to be Beta of our pack. She was strong and loyal, but she was framed. She was accused of killing our Alpha and Luna." As she spoke, she looked at me with her eyes twinkling like stars. "That's why I became a slave. Just like what you said that night, everyone should know their own place. I have long recognized my own place, as a slave."
I felt like my heart suddenly twisted. I regretted saying those harsh words to her that night. But I didn't know how to comfort her right now.
"After my mother was executed, my life was in dire straits..." Sylvia paused with an unreadable look on her face.
"It's all over, Sylvia. Look at you now. You are getting better and better," I said in a dry tone, trying to comfort her. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Sylvia shook her head and smiled. "Just when I thought my life would end up miserably, Prince Rufus came and pulled me out of the swamp of desperation. He brought me here and even gave me the chance to go to school. I can start over again and live a new life because of him. That's why I am very grateful to him."
"You're grateful to him?" I asked in disbelief. When I heard that Sylvia was only grateful to Prince Rufus, my heartbeat went abnormally fast for no reason. I didn't know why I even felt a little happy.
She didn't answer me. But judging from the resolute expression on her face, I knew she was telling the truth.
I cleared my throat and was about to say something when a deep male voice suddenly sounded behind us.
I turned my head and saw Prince Rufus.
