The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Sylvia's POV:

At the thought of Edwin, I lost my interest in the conversation and slipped into a long silence.

Rufus wrapped his arms around me lovingly and said, "All right. Let's talk about the potted plant." "What's wrong with the potted plant?" He successfully managed to change the topic. I fixed my gaze on him. "Does the flower just need to bloom to lift the curse? No special spell is required?" he asked.

"That's what I think. There was no mention of any special spell in that book. Let's wait and see what happens after we return to the imperial city." We would find out if the curse could be lifted or not based on whether Blair woke up.

As for its effect on Rufus, if the curse didn't attack him again on a full moon night, this method would be proved fruitful.

But we would have to wait until the flower bloomed. It was just a tiny bud right now.

After chatting for a while, I began getting drowsy. My eyes started drooping as I listened to Rufus.

I drifted off to sleep in his arms.

But this time, I slept fitfully. I always slept peacefully through the night when Rufus was next to me.
