A momentary silence lapsed, followed by a flurry of footsteps. Then, the door opened, revealing Flora’s panic-stricken face.
“What are you doing here, Prince Rufus?”
“Sylvia might be in danger,” I said bluntly. “Give me the location of the wall hole.”
The blood on Flora’s face drained in an instant. “What happened? Didn’t Sylvia come to see you?”
I briefly explained everything to her and Warren, including what I had heard about the hunting game. “If the slave wasn’t lying, tonight would be a feast for vampires. Sylvia is alone outside the wall, and I’m afraid she would get into trouble.”
Hearing that, Flora and Warren led me to the enormous wall right away.
“I sensed something was wrong. Sylvia looked flustered as if she was hiding something from me. I shouldn’t have just let her go like that.” Flora couldn’t stop blaming herself on the way.
“Sylvia went outside the wall alone without informing you because she didn’t want you to get into trouble,” Warren comforted her. “There is no point in blaming yourself. We should go there and find her.”
I didn’t say anything. Although my strides were confident, my mind was a mess. I could barely breathe. My stomach churned with anticipation. I wanted to see Sylvia right away and reprimand her for taking such a huge risk. I wanted to have her by my side and make sure she didn’t go anywhere.
Just as we were about to reach the enormous wall, something unexpected happened.
Geoffrey arrived with his army and stopped us.
Anger surged through my veins. I glared at him. He was surrounded by soldiers, and I wanted to kill him with my bare hands.
“Where are you going, Prince Rufus?” Geoffrey asked politely.
“Enough! Stop acting.” I sneered. “Since you have brought the army to stop me, I’m sure you have found out about where we’re heading, haven’t you?”
Geoffrey laughed humorlessly. “You are awesome. It looks like my tricks can’t deceive you.”
With that, he violently dragged Ashley from behind and pushed her toward me.
Her face was covered with bruises and whip marks. She was hugging herself, crying bitterly.
“When did you find it?” I asked coldly.
Sylvia’s POV
As per my agreement with Felix, I couldn’t get back inside the wall until I heard the bell ring at five o’clock, which indicated the end of the hunting.
So I decided to use this time to save some werewolves, knocking several vampires out one after another.
I wanted to get to the point and kill these vampires, but in order not to cause Felix any trouble, I managed to restrain myself.
It was just a few hours, but it felt as though an eternity passed.
Towards the end, the vampires dwindled in number.
I didn’t know if they had retreated or were hiding in dark corners, waiting for new prey.
As I turned to an alley, I gritted my teeth and wiped the blood off my hands. I had tried and failed to save a werewolf just now. A vampire had bitten him on the neck, slicing into the artery. I couldn’t save him.
Staring at my blood-stained hands, I was in a bad mood.
Just then, I heard a sudden ear-piercing scream that came from the depths of the alley, followed by clumsy footsteps.
My gut wrenched and I instinctively ran towards the noise.
As soon as I turned a corner, I saw a tall, thin teenager running towards me. He was being chased by a vampire.
I recognized him. He was one of the werewolves who robbed Felix the first day we arrived at this pack; he was also one of the werewolves pushing Felix into the hands of the vampire duke earlier tonight.
Although I was disgusted with the way he had acted, I still tried to save him.
The vampire didn’t see me coming. When he rounded the corner, I knocked him out from behind.
“Is he dead?” The boy kicked the vampire’s hand anxiously, fear written all over his face.
“He’ll wake up if you kick him again,” I said coldly.
The teenager withdrew his foot sulkily. Looking at me in embarrassment, he scratched his head and finally said, “Thank… Thank you.”
I was a little surprised. I wasn’t expecting him to thank me.
Pursing my lips slightly, I couldn’t help but lecture him, telling him to stop bullying others. However, as soon as I brought up Felix’s name, something seemed to occur to him.
“I was wondering why you looked so familiar. You’re the she-wolf who meddled in our business the other day!”
He was talking about the time I saved Felix from them.
“That’s right. So are you saying I shouldn’t have meddled in your business and saved you today?” I sneered at him coldly.
He rolled his eyes. “Are you Felix’s friend? Do you really think that Felix is a good guy? Don’t be so quick to believe whatever you see. It’ll make you look like an idiot.”
While the teenager’s words were rude, I didn’t get angry right away. Instead, I just felt confused.
“What’re you talking about?”
He crossed his arms over his chest. “Felix is the kind of person who would do anything to survive. We did that to him in return for what he had done to us.”
When he spoke of this, his face became very gloomy and his eyes were filled with sadness. “Several of my friends were killed thanks to Felix.”
I frowned tightly. “If Felix is really that capable, how could he let you bully him?”
“Are you stupid or something?” The teenager scolded me again. He pursed his lips and said, “Can’t you see? Felix is the best at lying! A word of advice: don’t believe what he says. As for whether you’ll believe me or not, that’s up to you. Good luck.”
After saying that, he turned around and ran into the shadows.
