The answer popped up when I saw Blair.
“Sylvia, have you gotten your room key?” He was really waiting for me by the roadside. And as soon as he saw me, he showed a big and bright smile, which made the she-wolves passing by look back again and again.
I nodded and walked forward to talk to him politely.
“Don’t you have anything to ask me?” Blair frowned, pretending to be upset. “I think what I’ve done should be obvious enough.”
I knew he was trying to say that he had helped me. I looked at him gratefully and said, “Thank you, Blair.”
“You made it to Class A because of your own strength, so you don’t really have to thank me. I didn’t really help you with it. Don’t flatter me.” Blair pursed his lips, put on his military cap, and winked mischievously.
I was amused by his expression. I cleared my throat and said, “Well, I’m thanking you for what you did to Harry just now. I know you deliberately scared him because you know that I would stand up for him. You did it to make him grateful to me.
Anyway, thank you so much for helping me this time.” I was truly grateful to Blair.
“It’s nothing,” Blair said in a relaxed tone, waving his hand casually. “Although Harry is arrogant, he is not a bad guy.”
“Yes, I can see it too.” I couldn’t help laughing at the thought of Harry’s cocky face.
“Besides, he is powerful and strong. With him taking care of you, your life in the academy will be much better in the future,” Blair said with a serious look on his face.
I didn’t expect that he would be this considerate to me, so I was surprised. I also felt warm in my heart.
“Actually, you don’t really need to do all these. After all, I don’t care about other people’s cold attitudes. All I want now is to make myself stronger,” I said, feeling relieved.
“You are wrong, Sylvia,” Blair retorted with a frown. “Maliciousness is the most immeasurable thing in werewolves’ nature. If you want to become stronger, the first thing you need to do is to get rid of those villains that hinder you from rising.”
He was right. Although I never wanted to cause trouble, others always made trouble for me. Thinking back to my previous life as a slave, I realized that I didn’t get the treatment I deserved because of my tolerance.
“I understand,” I replied with a nod.
“Just relax,” Blair said with a smile when he noticed the seriousness on my face. “Harry may look tall and strong, but he is very simple-minded. Don’t hesitate to use him when you need to.”
“How can I ever do that to him?” I replied with a smile.
“I believe you can handle that matter well.” After saying this, Blair turned around and left.
I watched his receding back for a moment. Then I couldn’t help shouting, “Please thank Prince Rufus for me too.”
“Thank him for what?” Blair turned around and looked at me in confusion. He didn’t seem to understand what I meant.
I just smiled without saying anything. I winked mysteriously like what he did just now.
“Damn it!” He was stunned for a moment. “You know everything?”
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.
“I was just bluffing, and I tried to trick Blair into telling the truth. I didn’t expect that he would be so gullible,” I said happily.
I didn’t expect Blair to give himself away that easily. Rufus had once told me that he would not let anyone bully me again, and he was really fulfilling his promise. At the thought of this, I couldn’t help feeling sweet in my heart.
“My dear… I can feel that your heart is full of pink bubbles. Tell me, do you like Rufus?” Yana was so excited. It was as if she had discovered a new continent.
I wanted to deny it without hesitation. But when I thought of Rufus, my heart raced uncontrollably.
“You don’t have to be shy. He likes you, and you like him too. Just tell him directly. Then you two can mate happily and start a happy life together.” Yana’s laughter rippled in my head. Then she added in an obscene tone, “Rufus’ wolf must be very fierce.”
“Yana! Stop your unrealistic thinking, will you?” I felt both amused and annoyed, so I hurriedly interrupted her conjecture. If she went on, it would only stir my imagination. I didn’t want to think of such a scene.
“Unrealistic thinking? How can it be? Sylvia, you will definitely regret your words, and I’ll wait for that day to come,” Yana snorted defiantly. Her voice was full of arrogance.
“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.
Sylvia’s POV
Several dormitories were assigned for girls – they were all interconnected through small pathways, hooded with tall redwood trees on either side. The sunlight sprinkled on my body through the branches, making me feel warm and cozy.
My dormitory was located on the innermost side of the school. Although it was a remote place, it was brightly lit.
