I had planned to groom Lucy’s unborn child to take the throne, but now it seemed that it was unnecessary. Rufus really was the best candidate to inherit the throne.
Rufus didn’t say anything for a long time. Finally, he simply nodded.
I was glad. Thisgave me the courage to speak out the thought that had lingered in my heart for a long time. “Your marriage has to be put on the agenda as soon as possible. After you get married, I will abdicate in advance and pass the position of the lycan king to you.”
Rufus’ POV
Hearing this, I was surprised. In my eyes, my father was still in his prime. Why did he want to step down for the throne so early?
I didn’t respond. Perhaps he was just exhausted because of what happened to Richard. Maybe he would reconsider his decision after a while.
Plus, I didn’t want to inherit the throne just yet. I wanted to spend more time with Sylvia before settling down and having a chill.
Once I became the lycan king, I would be completely consumed by government affairs. I didn’t want to become a machine who lived solely to work.
But even I had to admit that it would be nice to have a child soon. Be it a son or a daughter, I could pass the throne to my child when the time was right.
That way, I’d be able to spend more time with Sylvia again and only tend to the government when necessary. Such a plan sounded wonderful to me.
Therefore, having children as soon as possible didn’t sound like such a bad idea after all.
“I watched your webcast by the way. Everyone thinks highly of you. Public support is what makes a king a king. You did well, my son. I’m not worried now. I’m relieved to hand the empire to you. I believe you’ll make a great ruler.”
Then, he patted me on the shoulder and chuckled.
“Relax, son. No need to be so nervous. Things will only get better from here.”
I still wanted to dissuade my father, but he didn’t give me the chance. “I know what you want to say, but trust me. I’ve made up my mind. Don’t try to convince me otherwise. I haven’t been the best father and husband lately. Once I step down from the throne, I’ll be able to spend more time with, your mother. I’ll give her our long overdue honeymoon and we’ll travel around the world.
Your mother might be sharp-tongued, but deep down, she’s soft-hearted. Although she hates me now, once I kneel down in front of her and I apologize sincerely, I just know she’ll give in. After all, she must be sick and tired of staying in the palace. I think she’ll support my decisions.”
As he spoke, my father’s eyes lit up slightly, but then they soon became a little gloomy. Perhaps it was because my mother still refused to see him.
I could tell that he meant what he said, so I gave up trying to dissuade him.
Instead, I gave him a hug and solemnly promised, “Don’t worry, Father. I’ll take care of everything.”
He patted me on the shoulder and sighed with relief. “That’s more enough.”
I smiled and we locked eyes. The trust and promise between men were all in silence.
After that, I said goodbye to my father and we parted ways.
Omar said excitedly, “Now’s the time to think about your proposal to Sylvia! The lycan king himself has asked you to get married as soon as possible, so we have to hurry. We can’t wait any longer!”
“I agree.
Thinking of this, I had a headache. I wanted to give Sylvia an unforgettable proposal, but I really didn’t know how to go about it.
“‘Book a hot air balloon. Or go paragliding If you propose to her mid-air, she won’t be able to escape even if she wants to refuse! She’ll be shocked for sure!” Omar fired one idea after another excitedly.
You’re a genius,” I said dryly. However, even I couldn’t deny that his ideas were pretty unforgettable.
“Yes, yes, I know. Anyway, you should get a move on. You have to get married to Sylvia as soon as possible.”
“No need to tell me twice, snorted coldly. I’d literally thought about hundreds of ways to propose.
As soon as I stepped foot in my room, a white wolf pounced on me, knocking me to the floor.
Rufus’ POV
The white wolf snorted indignantly, and the red hair on top of her head stood straight. It was clear that she was pissed off. Holding the white wolf in my arms, I rubbed her fluffy head to smooth her hair.
The white wolf lowered her head, rubbed her snout against my neck, and howled angrily. I didn’t resist. I couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “You’re tickling me, babe.”
Only then did Sylvia return to her human form. Nestled in my arms, she nibbled on my chin and looked at me with fierce eyes, although to me, she just looked very cute.
I couldn’t help but touch her hair dotingly. “Honey…”
Sylvia let go of my chin and said angrily, “Why didn’t you tell me that the curse was already removed? I cried so hard that day! It was humiliating!”
Thinking of how pitiful Sylvia looked as she almost cried her eyes out that day, I couldn’t help but chuckle, which annoyed Sylvia even more. She continued to bite my cheek angrily.
Gradually, her lips met mine, and we kissed each other deeply. I held the back of her head and kissed her passionately. Sylvia responded in kind and closed her eyes, fully immersing herself in our kiss.
The atmosphere was thick with desire. Just as my hands started to wander around her body, Sylvia came to her senses. She grabbed my hands and held them in place, snorting angrily. “Don’t you dare try to seduce me. I’m still mad at you.”
I chuckled, fixed up her clothes, and led her to the sofa. “I know I was wrong, honey. It’s just, I had to deceive Richard so that he’d let his guard down. That gave me the opportunity to destroy his group.”
Pouting, Sylvia wrapped her arms around my neck and grumbled, “Are you saying you didn’t have faith in my acting skills?”
This question amused me. “Are you kidding me? Your acting skills are topnotch! How could you expose the secret?”
“You’re teasing me!” Sylvia flew into a rage again.
She refused to even look at me until I humbly begged her for forgiveness again and again. I had planned to take a shower and go straight to bed, but Sylvia suddenly suggested that we go outside to enjoy the full moon.
“You’ve never been able to enjoy it before, am I right?”
I raised my eyebrows and was tempted, allowing myself to be pulled by her. Her idea turned out to be a great one. The night sky was extraordinarily beautiful, not only with the full moon, but also with the stars all over the sky.
I lay leisurely on the lawn in the garden and stared up at the moon in the sky. For once, there was no restlessness in my heart, only peace.
Just then, Sylvia, who was resting her head on my arm, suddenly turned over and straddled on me, looking excited. My heart skipped a beat and I got excited too. Did she want to have sex with me out here?
“Rufus, let’s turn into wolves and howl at the full moon! They do it all the time in movies.”
