Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 624

Sylvia’s POV:

Startled, I leaned over to take a closer look.

But Blair’s eyes were clear and bright. I couldn’t see the black bug anywhere.

“What’s the matter?” Blair asked curiously.

I shook my head and smiled awkwardly. “Nothing.”

Maybe I was just seeing things.

After parting with Blair, I went back to the palace and placed the potted plant on Rufus’ bedside table.

Since the plant was able to lift the curse on Blair, perhaps it could also do the same for Rufus. Maybe, just maybe, I’d soon bear Rufus a child.

Thinking about this, I felt very happy.

I wondered if Rufus preferred a daughter or a son.

I could already imagine the cold, arrogant prince becoming a clumsy clueless father. What an interesting sight that’d be!

Fantasizing about these things, I couldn’t help but chuckle to myself.

Since I had nothing else to do for the rest of the day, I cleaned Rufus’ room.

The servants tidied his place daily, so there was very little for me to clean. I just organized the things that Rufus had brought back from the border. He had brought a plethora of souvenirs, everything from jewelry to snacks. Most of them were bought by me actually.

I put Rufus’ watch and sunglasses in the cloakroom. When I came back, I caught a glimpse of a familiar wooden box in the bottom of the suitcase.

Wasn’t this the box from Noreen’s lab?

Confused, I picked it up and looked inside. Sure enough, inside lay the pendant I had thrown away. It turned out that Rufus had kept it.

I stared at the pendant with mixed feelings. Edwin had already returned to his pack. It didn’t matter whether we would recognize each other as family or not. I was no longer as expectant as before.

I figured we could talk about it when we met again.

Besides, Edwin probably wasn’t going to return to the capital city any time soon.

In the end, I put the pendant away with a sigh. I figured it wouldn’t be so bad to keep it as an ornament. After all, a pink gem was rare pretty.

Just then, I heard a knock on the door.

“Miss Todd, are you there?”

Thinking that Maya had come with some snacks, I quickly stood up and opened the door. But to my surprise, I found a group of maids I’d never seen before standing outside.

“Are you looking for me?” I asked in confusion.

The leading maid was wearing a grey suit. She stepped forward and smiled amiably at me. “We’re here under the queen’s order.”

I immediately grew vigilant. “Queen Laura? Why? What’s wrong?”

Alina was gone already. Did Laura want to stir trouble again? Did she find a new fiancee for Rufus? If that was the case, I was sure I’d go crazy on the spot.

But even I had to admit that Laura was actually better than the vicious mothers-in-law in TV dramas. She had never really done things ungracious to hurt me in private. At most, she had just used Alina to annoy me.

And after a while, I gradually came to understand where Laura was coming from. Every mother simply wanted the best for her child after all.

It just so happened that Laura was a little… extreme.

The leading maid bowed to me respectfully and continued, “Miss Todd, don’t be nervous. We will just dress you up for dinner tonight, which you’re required to attend. The queen has arranged a banquet for you and Prince Rufus.”

“Wait a second…” Hearing this, I darted back inside the room to check my phone. There was no message from Rufus. Obviously, Rufus didn’t know about this yet.

I wondered what the queen was up to.

After mulling over it for a while, I decided to tell Rufus about it first.

“Miss Todd, may we come in?” the leading maid asked politely.

Quickly putting my phone away, I said loudly, “Okay, come in!”

Then, the maids filed into the room one by one. Each maid was holding a gorgeous dress in their hands.

The leading maid pulled me to stand up. She looked me up and down carefully, fiddling with my hair as though I was a doll, making me try on all the dresses to see which one looked the best.
