His handsomeness?
As much as I hated my brother, even I had to admit that Rufus’ face was chiseled to perfection.
Then Rufus spoke, directly admitting that he was indeed cursed.
The comments section went crazy, and so did I…
God damn it! I leaped from the sofa and stared at Rufus’ serious face on TV.
How could he be so brave to own up to it like ,that? Or was he just plain stupid?
Then I burst into maniacal laughter. Rufus was doomed. If I were him, I never would’ve admitted to the curse. I would’ve kept my position as heir, even if it meant taking in a bastard as my Son.
In high spirits, I raised the volume to the max.
However, what Rufus said next stunned me.
Rufus looked straight at the camera and said calmly, “Although I have been cursed for years, I found a way to get rid of it not long ago.”
Richard’s POV
My first reaction was that of disbelief. Rufus had to be lying, right?
There was no way Noreen’s curse could be solved so easily. Besides, the black witch had vanished years ago. How could Rufus have found her all of a sudden?
The comments section shared the same sentiments.
He was a little speechless. The comments ,covered nearly the whole screen, so I couldn’t see Rufus’ face clearly.
After a pause, Rufus continued, “I believe everyone has read the post about the curse on me. It’s true that it attacks me every full moon night. The next full moon night is a week from now. I will do webcast the whole day to show all the citizens of the empire I’m no longer under the influence of the curse.”
Hearing this, the comments section went ballistic again.
I got flustered as well as soon as I heard that.
What was Rufus thinking? If he went berserk on camera for all of the empire to see, things would go completely out of control.
By then, he would definitely injure or even kill someone. If that was the case, then Rufus wouldn’t even be able to keep his status as prince anymore. The citizens would definitely rally, demanding that the lycan king strip Rufus of his power.
“I will be sure to stay transparent about this matter, and as for the mastermind behind the ruckus, I will not spare them.” Rufus was very calm. If my eyes weren’t deceiving me, there even seemed to be a slight smile at the corners of his mouth. His sharp eyes looked straight into the camera, and it felt as though he was staring right at me.
Cold sweat broke out on my forehead. Rufus never said or did anything without absolute certainty. Since he dared make such bold announcement in front of the whole empire, it meant that he was probably telling the truth and he had already had the curse removed.
And if Rufus could get rid of the curse, the lycan king would definitely treat him as the first heir to the throne again. By then, the child in Lucy’s belly would be worthless.
Which meant that I would have no chance to take the throne.
I had planned to seize power after Lucy’s child was born and my father had died.
But now all my plans were being disrupted.
Damn it! Why did Noreen have to show up now?
Looking around at my empty palace, I could already imagine how miserable my life would be once Rufus ascended to the throne. My brother would definitely kick me out of the imperial capital.
And Laura would definitely be happy about that. She never liked me. Although we got along well with each other in public, Laura secretly hated me with a passion. After all, my existence always reminded her of her failure.
A she-wolf that couldn’t keep the attention of her mate was pitiful.
Suddenly, thought occurred to me.
Something felt off. If the curse on Rufus had been removed, then our father should’ve known about this already.
But when we found out about the post on the Internet, he didn’t show any emotions other than anger. Logically speaking, he should’ve been ecstatic after knowing that the curse was resolved.
How could a curse that hadn’t been lifted in years be solved so suddenly?
Could Rufus just be making excuses to stabilize the public opinion? Or had he truly found a way to solve the problem?
Just as I was mulling over things, my phone suddenly buzzed. It was a message from an unknown source.
Thinking it was spam, I tapped on it impatiently so that I could delete it right away.
However, I was directly attracted by the first sentence, which said that the curse on Rufus hadn’t been removed yet.
I was so excited that I read the whole text quickly. It said clearly that the thing that could remove the curse was a plant, which was now Vin Rufus’ room. As long as it was destroyed within three days, Rufus would not be able to remove his Curse, ever.
Sylvia’s POV
Although I knew what Rufus was planning, I couldn’t help but gulp nervously when he made a promise to the whole empire.
It was only a week before the next full moon night. It had taken Blair a week to wake up, and it might take that long for Rufus to get rid of the curse as well. If something unexpected happened during the week, the consequences would be unimaginable.
I sat behind the camera, lost in my thoughts.
After Rufus concluded the broadcast, I dragged him back to his room angrily. “Stay here and don’t you dare go anywhere in the next week.”
Rufus nodded dotingly, wrapped his arms my waist, and pulled me close”Stay with me then and we can fuck for seven days straight.”
Stunned, I pushed him away immediately, blushing furiously. He was such a decent man in front of the camera just now, yet behind closed doors he was just another horny man.
Rufus smiled and made me sit next to him on the sofa. “Don’t worry. Nothing will go wrong.”
“I can’t help but worry, Rufus…” I pursed my lips unhappily and buried my face in his chest.
Rufus kissed the top of my head and murmured, “Leave it to me. I have a plan.”
