I nodded and looked up at him. “But in the next few days…”
Rufus chuckled and said, “I know, I know. I promise I’ll behave in the following seven days.”
I leaned closer to give him a kiss. “Good boy.”
Immediately, Rufus kissed me back fiercely. He held me firmly in his arms and refused to let me go. As a result, we made passionate love the whole night and didn’t stop until three o’clock in the morning.
Having barely gotten any sleep, I went to the army the following morning with dark circles under my eyes.
Today was the annual military day, which was also the only day that we could enter or leave the army base freely without asking for permission. But an internal pass was still required.
I rushed to the hall to look for Flora and Harry first. They were cramming a song and dance rehearsal for tonight.
In honor of the military day, there would be a bonfire party later.
I had been stuck in the imperial palace these days, so the instructor let me go and didn’t require me to perform onstage.
Flora and Harry weren’t that lucky. Harry had to play a ballerina prince whereas Flora played a princess who was turned into a mushroom by a witch.
Wearing a big red mushroom on her head as a costume, Flora shouted dramatically, “Oh! My prince, please kiss me and lift the curse!”
Then there was a rush of music. Harry stepped.
Kon the tiptoe, pirouetted in circles, and replied, “oh! Moon Goddess, I seem to hear the princess calling me.”
If couldn’t help but burst into laughter as I watched this scene unfold. What the hell was this? Who wrote such a ridiculous script?
Just then, a she-wolf in a military uniform timidly tugged at my sleeve. “Can I ask you for a favor?”
“What’s up?” I asked curiously.
“I need help moving some things.” I could tell by her uniform that this she-wolf was not a low ranking officer, but she was very reserved. As she asked me for help, her face turned red. “A few props are needed for the performance later.
I really couldn’t find anyone else to help me.”
I looked around and indeed, everyone looked very busy.
I agreed without thinking about it too much.
“The props are in the hall in the east zone. The party was supposed to be held there, but the electricity went out a few days ago and hasn’t been fixed, so the was changed temporarily,” the she-wolf explained as she led the way.
I nodded and didn’t say anything. I was thinking that if there were too many things, I- could just ask Warren for help. Warren wasn’t going to perform either, so he was free, too.
Sidon we arrived at the hall. The she-wolf led me into the lounge, which was filled with costumes.
“Here are the costumes. Wait a minute. I’ll look for something we- can pack them into,” the she -wolf said and immediately ran out.
I didn’t suspect that anything was wrong at first, but after waiting for a while, I started to feel that something was off. The she-wolf never came back.
I tried to go out, but the door was already locked from the outside.
Sylvia’s POV
I immediately became vigilant, thinking that someone was planning to kill me. But no one came to attack me, so I gradually calmed down.
I was just locked up in a place where I could be found sooner or later.
After thinking for a while, I started to wonder.
Was it just a prank?
I sighed and chastised myself for being so stupid.
I reached for the doorknob with both hands and pulled as hard as I could, but the door didn’t budge. The door was now locked from the outside and couldn’t be opened from the inside, rendering my superb lock picking skills useless.
In the end, I sat on a chair and tried to contact the outside world.
But I couldn’t send out any texts. There seemed to be a jammer installed nearby.
Bored, I sat on the chair idly, waiting to be found. Half an hour passed but nobody came to my rescue.
There was nothing I could do but wait for Rufus or Flora to find me. “That she-wolf looked like a decent officer, but she tricked you.
God! She’s really pissing me off!” Yana, who was also bored, began to complain.
I sighed. “I know that Rufus has a meeting today, so he won’t find out that I’m in trouble until very late.”
Fortunately, I had eaten breakfast before I came here, so I wasn’t going to starve to death.
The minutes ticked by and it was soon noon.
Everyone was probably taking a lunch break, so I doubted anybody would pass by.
Just as I was about to go crazy from boredom, there was a commotion outside the door. It Sounded like someone was calling my name.
I immediately cheered up and rushed to the door. Someone outside called my name again.
It was Rufus!
How’d he know I was here? Without thinking too much, I rapped on the door loudly. “Rufus!
It’s me! I’m here!”
Soon, I heard hurried footsteps approaching until somebody stopped right outside the door.
Then there was the sounds of an iron chain being smashed. Rufus’ muffled voice shouted, “Sylvia, hang on. I’ll save you.”
