The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 625

Rufus' POV:

As soon as I came out of the military department, I received a message from Sylvia that said that my mother had sent some maids to invite her to the banquet tonight.

I was worried that my mother was going to make things difficult for Sylvia again, so I quickly got in the car and went back to the imperial palace.

When I returned to my residence, I found a group of maids fussing over Sylvia's outfit.

Sylvia turned to look at me when I entered. Smiling, she stood up and gently waved away the maids. When the maids dispersed, she elegantly made her way towards me.

The sapphire blue dress shone brightly against her fair skin. Her waist looked so slender that I felt I could hold it with my two hands. The pearl earrings and her red lips made the perfect match. I was awestruck by her beauty. I hadn't seen her dress up like this for a long time.

It had already been half a year since she first came to the capital city, but I still recalled the first time I took her to a party like it was just yesterday.

"You can go ahead. Prince Rufus and I will be there soon," Sylvia said to the maids calmly.

"Yes, Miss Todd." The maids nodded in unison and left respectfully.

The second the door was closed behind them, Sylvia's facade fell. She held my arm and gestured at her 3-inch heels proudly. "Look! I can walk in high heels now!"

Amused, I touched her nose gently. "Don't your feet hurt?"

"It doesn't matter. It'll disappear soon anyway." I pulled her back in my arms and planted a kiss on her forehead. "Thank you."

Sylvia looked up at me shyly. "For what?" I couldn't help but kiss her on the eyelids. I would never be tired of kissing her or caressing her skin.

"I don't know what my mother's up to. If you don't want to go, you can just refuse. I'll decline for you," I said in a low voice.

Sylvia shook her head. "Queen Laura is your mother. I have to face her sooner or later. Running away from her won't solve anything. Besides, your mom's not evil. She just loves you and wants the best for you. Rufus, I don't want to see her as my enemy."

Sylvia's words moved me. I didn't say anything and fell silent for a moment. In the end, I sighed. "Then pick a tie for me. Let's go to the party together." "Okay," Sylvia replied with a smile. Then she stood on tiptoe and gave me another kiss.
