Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 569

Sylvia’s POV:

When I heard what Layla said, I was shocked. I didn’t expect Ashley would betray me. After all, it was Hobson and his children who had caused her so much suffering.

Why would Ashley still want to please that bastard?

It seemed that she still wanted to go back to that mysterious castle despite all the trouble it had brought her.

“Don’t be sad, Sylvia. Ashley’s just a vampire, and she was tortured by werewolves. I doubted she’d have ever become our true friend.” Noticing my change in mood, Flora put her arm around my shoulder and comforted me.

“I’m not sad. I just can’t figure it out. Other than Ashley’s mother, every single person in that castle wants her dead. Why is she still trying to go back and even please Hobson?” I sighed and felt that people’s hearts were a fickle thing, difficult to understand.

“To each their own. If that’s the path she wants to take, then who are we to stop her?” Flora smiled, as if she didn’t care about the matter so much anymore.

Although Flora was usually impulsive, she had always been good at emotional management.

I nodded and decided to let it go, too. “You’re right. Since Ashley has chosen to run, she’ll probably go back to the castle. That means I’ve fulfilled my end of the bargain with her mother. I doubt we’ll cross paths again. Let’s think about how to get out of here now.”

Flora looked around and muttered, “This isn’t the same room we were in earlier.”

“Go there. Ashley escaped in that direction.” Layla pointed at one of the paths.

I glanced at her wound and said worriedly, “Don’t you need to bandage your wound? It’s still bleeding.”

“No need. Let’s get out of here first. This stone chamber is probably filled with traps. The longer we stay here, the more danger we’ll be in,” Layla said firmly.

I had no choice but to agree. So we walked in the direction she had pointed out and eventually came to the place where we first came in.

I figured we should thank Layla. We wouldn’t have been able to get out of here without her.

Now that Flora had accepted Layla, she was very enthusiastic about her. This time, having witnessed Layla’s strong sense of direction in action, Flora admired Layla even more. She became an avid fan in the blink of an eye.

“You’re amazing, Layla! When we get out of here, I’ll buy you an entire roast chicken!”

“Okay. I look forward to it.”

“Ha-ha…”

Watching them interact, I felt grateful. We had made a new friend.

After walking a while, we made it to the hole in the wall where the pendant was placed. We tried to pull it out, but we couldn’t.

“Let me try.” Flora rubbed her hands and planted her feet firmly on the ground. She pulled the tail of the pendant with both hands and tried to yank it out with all her strength. “Ow! Come out!”

But the pendant refused to budge. Flora’s face turned red from the effort. Unwilling to give up, she kept trying to pull it. “Move!!! Come out, little pendant!”

But the pendant refused to budge. Flora’s face turned red from the effort. Unwilling to give up, she kept trying to pull it. “Move!!! Come out, little pendant!”

Layla couldn’t bear to watch her any longer. She stepped forward and patted Flora on the back. “Let me have a try.”

“Go ahead.” Flora sighed in resignation. Then, her legs buckled slightly. “I think I used too much energy just now and my brain lacks oxygen.”

I hurried to support her. “Rest first, Flora.”

Layla took Flora’s place and stood in front of the hole in the wall. She looked at the pendant closely first, then reached out to rotate it.

A bang exploded in our ears.

Flora and I were stunned. It turned out that we didn’t need to pull the pendant out… We just needed to rotate it.

After the loud bang, the rotated pendant shone red again, and black mist began to rise around us. The stone chamber gradually disappeared from our sight.

The three of us held our breaths and slowly walked out of the black mist.

When we made it out of the mist, we happened to run into Rufus, who was looking for us with his men.
