Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 433
Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince
Sylviaâs POV:
The three of us arrived at the appointed place. We waited for what seemed like an eternity, but there was still no sign of Harry.
âDid that idiot forget about our mission?â Flora was going crazy. She kept scratching her arms and whining, âThe mosquitoes are eating me alive!â
The climate here was much hotter than that of the imperial capital, so we all wore plain loose T-shirts.
Our meeting spot was in front of a remote wasteland. Not only were there countless mosquitoes, but also plenty of unidentifiable bugs. They liked to crawl on our skin and bite us, but fortunately, they werenât poisonous.
Warren and I didnât seem to attract these bugs and mosquitoes. Flora, on the other hand, was different. Just like Harry, she attracted these insects like honey attracted ants. We werenât standing there long before her arms were covered in swollen red spots.
Warren offered his thin coat to her for the nth time. âPut it on. Itâll protect you from the bugs.â
Flora pursed her lips and looked at the coat wordlessly. She seemed to be hesitating.
I couldnât keep watching her suffer so I took the coat from Warren and draped it across Floraâs shoulders. âIf you want to fall asleep tonight, stop being so stubborn.â
Flora tightened the coat around her body but said nothing. She had finally given in to Warrenâs kindness. Unable to look him in the eye, she lowered her head and mumbled, âThanks.â
Warren smiled at her dotingly. âYouâre welcome.â
I cleared my throat awkwardly and once again felt that I shouldnât have been here.
Just as we were about to lose our patience, Harry finally showed up. He was followed by John, which took us aback.
Flora and I exchanged confused glances.
Harry and John had been almost inseparable the past few days. Even when Flora and I talked with Harry, John would sit next to him, even if he didnât say anything.
It all felt a bit strange. Was John a gay and he was into Harry?
The more I thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. I recalled how Harry had desperately tried to avoid John before. Was it because Harry knew that John was a gay?
But these days, it seemed that Harry had stopped avoiding Johnâ¦
Oh, my god! Had Harry been âchangedâ by John? Harry was a silly man. He would easily fall for someone as long as they said something soft and sweet to him.
Although I had no opinions against gay people, watching my straight friend turn into one was still too bizarre an experience. I eyed the two boys with complicated feelings, at a loss for words.
âWhatâs going on?â Flora spoke for me. She tilted her head and looked at them questioningly.
Harry didnât dare to look at us. He turned his head unnaturally and said lightly, âWe met on the way, so we decided to come together.â
âI see. Then letâs get going already.â Flora didnât think too much. I figured she was anxious to get this show on the road. Warren, on the other hand, looked at John with displeasure.
Finally, our team had converged successfully. The five of us snuck out secretly.
However, as soon as we made it past the gate, we saw a group of soldiers escorting the slave Ashley in the distance.
We hurriedly hid behind a wall and waited for them to pass us.
When the escorts approached us, I overheard one of the soldiers shouting, âI wonder what Alpha Geoffrey is thinking. How could he offer this humble slave to Prince Rufus? How could he let a noble man like Prince Rufus be stained by such a lowly vampire slave?â
âBut you have to admit that this bitch is a ten out of ten. Sheâs probably prettier than Prince Rufusâs mate. Maybe the prince will like herâ¦â another soldier said with a knowing smile, his obscene eyes still fixed on Ashleyâs scantily-clad body.
âYouâre right.â
The soldiersâ laughter faded away as they passed us.
The expressions of Flora and the others changed subtly and they looked at me gingerly.
Even I had to admit that my mind was in a mess. But I thought about how Rufus had asked me to trust him no matter what. This helped me quickly regain my composure.
âSylvia, do you want to follow them?â Flora asked carefully.
âNo need. I trust Rufus.â I shook my head confidently. âThe mission at hand is more important. Letâs get out of here first.â
