Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince

Chapter 120: Overwhelming Emotions 

Sylvia’s POV:

I was too stunned to speak.My mind was in a mess.Today was Rufus’ birthday? Why hadn’t he told me about it?

"So, you didn’t know? The ball tonight was actually a birthday party for Prince Rufus arranged by the queen herself!" Flora exclaimed.

"Except he ran away halfway through his own party and left the guests unattended.The queen usually favors Prince Rufus, but even she got angry tonight."

For some reason, hearing Flora’s words made me feel suffocated.I got out of bed and headed to the window, hoping for some fresh air.

Meanwhile, Flora continued her story, "It seemed that Prince Rufus ‘act made a lot of the noble ladies very unhappy.I would have guess that his departure felt like a slap to their faces.Now, there are a lot of complaints about Prince Rufus’ behavior going around."

Flora then looked at me and asked, "Are you okay, Sylvia? Why did you open the window? Are you feeling hot?"

As the cold wind blew on my face, I leaned against the window and gave Flora an absent-minded nod.

To be honest, all I could think about right now was Rufus.

Flora seemed to buy my answer and continued again, "Oh, I also heard that it was Prince Richard who appeased the crowd when Prince Rufus left.He decided to formally announce his high-profile proposal to Lucy as his mate and displayed their love there.Obviously, everyone has a better impression of Prince Richard now."

I lowered my head, not saying anything.

For the first time, I felt like the moonlight was shining too bright and stinging my eyes.

"Poor Prince Rufus.I heard the lycan king even reprimanded.He might run out of favor very soon."

Flora sighed sympathetically.

"I can’t believe that was how he spent his birthday.It’s quite a pity you weren’t there at the party.You should have seen it in person." All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Flora also got out of bed and followed me to the window, thoughtfully handing me a cup of water.

"Oh, by the way, Prince Rufus also came to see you earlier today.He looked so anxious.His suit was even messy like he had run for miles, but he didn’t seem to notice it.I told him you might be at the training ground.Did you see him?"

I looked out the window.I didn’t know how to answer that.

Flora saw my face and quickly put the cup down.

"Sylvia, are you crying? What’s happening?"

Dazed, I touched my cheek and found that it was indeed wet with tears.I sniffled and swallowed down my sobs, trying to fight the urge to cry but tears were already flowing uncontrollably out of my eyes.

"What’s going on? You’re staring me! Tell me what happened!"

Flora was stuttering on her words and she hurried to hand me some tissues.

I pursed my lips and suddenly ran out of my dorm room before I burst into tears.I let my feet take me all the way to the school gate.

Right now, the only thing I wanted to do was to see Rufus..But the guards stopped me at the gate.

"You’re not allowed to go out at this time."

"But there’s something important I really need to deal with! Please, let me out.I’ll only be a while!" I begged hard.

If I failed to see Rufus tonight, I would never forgive myself.

Today was his birthday, but I hurt him so much.I was so mad at myself and guilty to the point of insanity.

"No, young lady.You must obey the rules.Just deal with whatever the problem is tomorrow," the guard shouted at me.

I could sense him growing impatient.

There was no choice for me but to go back.

On the concrete pavement, the streetlight behind me casted a long silhouette of my lonely body.I took out my phone and hoped that I could call Rufus.I just wanted to hear his voice.

Perhaps he could let me greet him a happy birthday in person, even if he was still angry with me.

Unfortunately, it seemed that his phone was turned off.My calls couldn’t get through to him.I watched the time pass by on my phone’s home screen.

When it finally struck 00:01, I gave up.I had failed to greet him a happy birthday.I felt like anything I did after this would be meaningless from now on.

"Why? Why didn’t Rufus tell me that it was his birthday? Why did he have to leave his party to see me? Why is he treating me so well? Yana, I’m scared.What if he never talks to me again?"

I murmured, hoping Yana would answer me.

But she ignored me.

Dazed, I walked back absent-mindedly and didn’t even pay attention to where I was walking.

As I walked down the stairs, I had accidentally stepped on a stone and fell down.

"Sylvia! Are you okay?"

Finally, Yana couldn’t bear to ignore me anymore and asked.I stayed on the ground, covered in mud.The emotions that I had been bottling up burst out.

Regardless o how stupid it looked, I let out a loud cry.

"I was wrong, Yana.I messed up big time.What have I done?"
