I then picked myself up and was prepared to go outside to welcome the groom.
Unexpectedly, Alina pushed the door of her lounge open and rushed out. She was disheveled and pallid from fear. “There are enemies! They took Sylvia away!”
Without waiting for Alina to finish her sentence, Rufus rushed in without a second thought.
It took a while for me to come to my sense and rush in too.
When we entered the room, we saw a figure in a black cloak burst the window with Sylvia in arms.
Immediately, Rufus transformed into a wolf and began to pursue the perpetrator.
I was about to follow him, but I suddenly had a relapse. My heart was numb, and the smell of blood gushed from my throat. The next second, I spat out a mouthful of blood.
I could feel the ground shaking all around me. The impact sent me tumbling to the floor before I could even think.
“Leonard!”
My eyes could only see pitch black, and I had no idea who was calling my name. It took a while before my vision gradually cleared.
Edwin had me in his arms and said anxiously, “I’ll call the doctor!”
“Don’t…” I protested in a low voice. I felt like I’d been drained of energy and couldn’t get the strength to rise.
A bead of sweat formed on Edwin’s forehead from his mounting worry. “I’ll get someone to look after you.”
Gasping in pain, I clutched his arm. “Don’t worry about me. Rally the troops and rescue Sylvia!”
Edwin hesitated. “No. I’m worried about you. I’ll go after the doctor comes.”
I let out a deafening yell of rage, “Go! Go and save Sylvia, please.”
And just in time, Alina came over to help me. “Edwin, you can go first. I’ll take care of my father.”
Edwin finally gave in and said, “Please take good care of your father. The doctor will be here soon. Call me if anything happens.”
“Okay, I got this,” Alina replied obediently.
After Edwin left, I had no more strength to hold on, and my consciousness gradually slipped away.
Rufus’ POV
The figure in black ran really fast. As I chased it, I could see the hemline of Sylvia’s dress fluttering in the air along with the shadow.
I didn’t dare to let go. As I kept following the figure, the rage in my heart began to boil uncontrollably.
Fuck! Someone dared to kidnap my Sylvia away under my nose!
I shouldn’t have left Sylvia with Alina alone!
Alina must be the one who set this up!
I had never chased someone like this in my life. With the fastest speed I could manage, I followed the person in black cloak. Suddenly, it stopped and said in an indistinct sound, “The famous Prince Rufus is indeed incredible. It’s rare for someone to catch up with me.”
Pursing my lips, I stared at the back of the person in black cloak and asked coldly, “Who the hell are you?”
The person in black cloak chuckled and said, “Actually, it doesn’t matter who I am. The most important thing is whether your mate will live or not.”
Then, the person in black cloak sped up again.
To say I was furious would be an understatement. If I caught that person, he or she would definitely die a horrible death.
The person in black cloak quickly ran out of the castle and ran into an unknown path. Then, it passed the moat and entered the dense forest.
The forest blotted out the sky and the sunshine couldn’t even penetrate. It was so quiet that only the sound of wind and crows could be heard.
I was only ten steps away from that person in black cloak when a hurricane mixed with dust suddenly came.
All of a sudden, the figure disappeared without a trace.
Fuck! That person cheated!
At that time, the sound of the footsteps of a lot of people sounded from behind.
“Prince Rufus, did you catch that person?” In a hurry, Edwin walked up to me with a long sword in his hand and he looked really anxious.
“I lost that person. Let’s split up and search the forest. Report to me as soon as you found something. Understand?” I ordered everyone in a deep voice.
“Yes, Sir!’
Immediately, Edwin led his subordinates and searched this forest.
At the thought of my Sylvia’s life in danger, I felt irritated and depressed again. The only thing I wanted to do right now was to kill that person!
I shouldn’t have left Sylvia alone! I should have stayed with her all the time! Damn it!
While we were looking for the person in black cloak, a puff of white smoke suddenly floated over and enveloped everyone.
Immediately, I felt that something was wrong. So, I ordered, “Everyone hold your breath! Don’t inhale the smoke. It’s poisonous!”
Edwin and the soldiers followed my order. But it was too late. Many of them had already inhaled the smoke and became really muddled.
All of a sudden, a soldier raised his sword and slashed at Edwin! However, Edwin didn’t react.
So, I pulled him to dodge the attack from the soldier.
Covering his nose, Edwin coughed violently, staggered and started to talk nonsense.
