Sylvia's POV:

When I woke up from my dream, cold sweat had already accumulated on my forehead. The horrible scene had been imprinted in my mind, which made me unable to snap out of it for quite a while.

Rufus didn't wake up, but he was holding me in his arms-comforting me with his warmth.

When I saw him sleeping so peacefully, I felt tears well up in my eyes.

I really didn't want to leave him, but if I stay, he would die.

If it wouldn't end well whether I stay or not, I would choose to leave and let myself suffer alone. At least in that case, Rufus would have a chance to live.

I wiped the tears that had accumulated in the corners of my eyes. Then, I got out of the bed to check Rufus' back. His body was well-built, but I couldn't appreciate much of his features, especially now that half of his back was covered with the ominous black thorn.

My heart sank at the sight of the curse.
