Rufus' POV:

Upon finding out that Richard had known about the curse this whole time, I was surprised to find myself calmer than expected.

Over the years, Richard always played tricks behind my back. Of the countless times he had set me up and framed me, I knew he was capable of anything in the future.

So when he mentioned my curse, I wasn't so surprised anymore.

What I did not know, however, was how he found out. Very few people knew about this. Had our father told him?

"What a pity it truly was that the bomb didn't kill you today..." Richard said, his voice dripping in sarcasm. There was a pair of glasses sitting on the bridge of his nose which he pushed up a bit. He was squinting at Sylvia, but he was looking at her with lust.

My face darkened as I pulled Sylvia behind me to keep her out of Richard's sight. The small amount of patience in me was running very thin at this point.

I felt Sylvia grab the hem of my clothes as she scolded Richard, "Do you still have a conscience left in you? You killed so many soldiers today just for power! Because of you, those people are now buried alive under the ruins!"
