Chapter 50 - Saving Her Cursed Lycan Prince

But when I thought of Alina, I was in a dilemma. I didn’t want to make her cry again because of my failure. She trusted me so much that she had entrusted this task to me.

“How about we think of another way without hurting her? As long as Sylvia can’t attend the ball, everything will be okay.” Salt started helping me come up with new ideas.

“I still need to think about it.” I lowered my head, lost in thought. How could I stop Sylvia from going to the ball without hurting her?

I thought about it for a long time, but I still couldn’t come up with any idea, so I decided to go back first.

It was already dark when I returned to the dormitory. I opened the door of my room dejectedly and found Blair sitting on a chair and reading a book leisurely. It seemed that he had been waiting for me for a long time.

My heart sank.

“You’re finally back,” Blair said nonchalantly without even looking at me. He turned another page.

I clenched my fists, loosened them, closed the door, and asked, “Why are you here, sir?”

“Because I care about my students.” Blair finally put down the book and walked up to me. He raised his eyebrows, looked at me up and down, and said, “Your muscles are well-built. But it’s a pity that they still don’t have enough strength.”

I couldn’t stand the sarcasm in his voice, so I sat down on a chair and said, “Sir, please go straight to the point. Why did you come to see me?”

There was no smile on Blair’s face anymore. He snorted coldly, “I know you tried to break Sylvia’s leg on purpose. I didn’t say it in public this afternoon because I didn’t want to make the situation too embarrassing for you.”

I wasn’t surprised that he found out because I knew how keen he was.

“Sir, what are you talking about? I don’t understand what you mean.” I didn’t want to respond to Blair’s words directly. With his power and status, I was likely to be expelled from the school immediately if I admitted it now. But I didn’t want to be kicked out of the school for the time being. I had to help Alina fulfill her wish first.

“I thought you were a smart guy,” Blair sneered and squinted at me.

He stared at me so impatiently that I got irritated at once. “Are you going to protect Sylvia to the end? Why are you accusing me of something without evidence?”

“You hate Sylvia because she is a slave. Warren, you are just like everyone else.” Blair didn’t take my anger seriously. He looked at me lazily as if I was a clown.

I felt relieved after hearing what he said. Fortunately, he didn’t know my real purpose. No matter what, I would protect Alina well and wouldn’t let her get involved in any trouble.

“So what?” I feigned indifference and smiled. “She is just a slave. Why do you care so much about her?”

I shifted the topic to the slave issue.

Blair’s eyes turned fierce when he heard what I said. “I’m warning you. If you dare to do it again, you won’t stay in this academy anymore. I’ll make sure that you will immediately get kicked out of here.”

Warren’s POV

“As our teacher, are you not favoring Sylvia too much? Your students just sparred with each other, but you especially came to save her. I’m afraid you have other intentions,” I sneered coldly. I didn’t expect Blair to care about Sylvia so much. Sylvia must really be something.

Blair smiled mockingly and also sneered, “I saved you, you idiot!”

He then turned around and left. I looked at his receding back in confusion. How could he save me? It was Sylvia who got beaten at that time.

It was only then that I noticed that Blair’s right hand was bandaged and slightly trembling. I didn’t see it just now because it was hidden in his sleeve.

Something was wrong. I was sure that his right hand wasn’t injured yet when we were in class.

Then I suddenly remembered that Blair blocked Sylvia’s fist with his right hand. Did it mean that her strength had caused his injury?

That was impossible! I was in denial. When I had a fight with Sylvia, she didn’t have the strength to fight back. It didn’t make sense at all.

Then I also recalled what had happened during the strength test. At that time, she broke the giant boulder into pieces. But I didn’t think too much about it back then. Was it her true level? Had she been hiding her real strength?

It was only then that I understood what Blair meant. If Sylvia’s punch hit my leg, the consequences would be unimaginable. At the thought of this, I felt more anxious than scared.

Sylvia’s POV

After class, everyone rushed to the cafeteria.

Harry and Flora scrambled over to help me, but I refused both of them.

“It’s okay. I can go by myself.”

Although my leg still hurt, the pain was tolerable, so I slowly walked. Harry and Flora were relieved to see that I could manage to walk, so the two of them started bickering again.

They were like two woodpeckers pecking at each other crazily. No one wanted to give in. They were chattering along the way, creating noises.

Looking at them like this, I felt that not only my leg but also my head ached.

Since I walked too slow, the cafeteria was already crowded with students when we arrived there. There was no empty table left. Only Warren occupied an entire table alone, which was very eye-catching.

“This guy is really unpopular. No one even wants to sit with him,” Harry commented. He deliberately raised his voice for Warren to hear him.

“How about we just take out our food and eat in our room?” Flora whispered to us. Obviously, she was a little afraid of Warren.

At this time, Warren glanced at us. He snorted coldly, stood up with his tray, and directly left, although he wasn’t done eating yet. Judging from the expression on his face, it seemed that he despised us and disdained to stay in the same space with us.

Harry hurriedly sat down at the table Warren just vacated. “Isn’t he a big fool? He left his table to give us a place to sit.”

I didn’t say a word. Watching Warren’s back, I vaguely felt that he deliberately vacated the table for us, and it seemed like his silent way of apology.

But when I thought of what he had said to me, I guessed he probably wouldn’t bow his head to a slave. I couldn’t help laughing at myself. Maybe I was thinking too much.

After eating, Flora forced Harry to spar with her, but he didn’t want to. He said that she was too weak, so the two of them argued again. I just watched them helplessly. They were really like two little children.

As soon as I arrived at the dormitory building, I saw Maya waiting at the entrance. My heart jolted, and I groaned inwardly. I forgot that I had agreed with Rufus to have a dance lesson.

I looked down at my leg, feeling I was in a dilemma.

Sylvia’s POV

I told Flora to go back to our dorm room first. Then I slowly walked to Maya.
