Chapter 123 A Full Moon Night
Sylvia's POV:
No matter how much I begged and even argued with the guards, they still wouldn't let me in to see Rufus. At some point, I knew I couldn't afford to come into a full-blown conflict with them, so I just had to return back despite all my efforts being in vain.
On my way back to school, I hung my head low and sighed in despair.
"Rufus is probably still angry with me. Perhaps he heard my voice from inside and still didn't want to see me. I guess I really let him down this time."
"Are you seriously giving up that easily?" Just like me, Yana was not the type to give up easily, which was why she was surprised by my defeatist attitude. "You can't give up, Sylvia. If you failed to see him today, then just come back again tomorrow. Sooner or later, he'll have to see you. I don't believe Rufus can avoid you forever." "It's not that I'm completely giving up, Yana. I just hate having to wait to try another day because I can't do anything right now." I pulled on my hair stressfully. If I had known this earlier, I would have never said such harsh words to Rufus in the first place. I was so regretful.
I tried calling Rufus up again, but it seemed that his phone was still off. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
I wasn't in the mood to eat at all. When I got back to my dorm room, I quietly sat on the chair. Afraid that I would be too sad to care for myself, Flora even made sure to call and check on me every thirty minutes when I refused to go out for dinner with her.
For a long time, I just stayed sitting there and did not move until there was a knock on the door. Numbly, I finally stood up and opened it.
Outside the door stood Maya with a familiar bag in her hand. Seeing it brought back the life in my eyes and I instantly pulled her inside.
"So, is Rufus not angry with me anymore? Is he willing to see me now?" I asked with expectation.
Except that I was disappointed in the very next second. Maya opened her mouth to say something but stopped on a second thought and shook her head instead, sighing.
By that reaction, it seemed that Rufus still didn't want to see me. Maya had just come by to bring me my routinely soup.
"Well, did he tell you anything at least?" I asked, refusing to give up.
I knew Maya didn't want to see the disappointment on my face, so she looked away and turned her attention to the thermos bottle instead. "I... didn't see Prince Rufus today."
My heart sank and I had lost all the desire to speak again.
Maya stayed until I finished the soup before leaving. Once she was gone, I was back to my lifeless state, unable to cheer myself up at all.
I turned off all the lights and lied down on the bed. The moonlight was brightly streaming
through the window, gently illuminating my bed's head board. I turned over and put my hand under the soft glow of the moonlight. I felt like I had forgotten something important, but I couldn't pinpoint what it was exactly. I got an uneasy feeling.
"Cheer up, Sylvia. Maybe if you send me to sing a song for Rufus, he won't be angry anymore," Yana suggested, confident in her singing skills for some reason. "We have to coax Rufus first and everything should follow."
I politely declined, knowing how terrible Yana's singing actually was. Sending Yana to sing for Rufus might even piss him off even more.
Yana had proposed many other ideas to me, but I didn't think any of them would work. Depressed, I got out of bed and walked over to the window again for some fresh air. At this time, Flora had come back.
"Sylvia, why are all the lights off?" Flora put her things down and walked to me.
After a while, she finally noticed and said, "Oh, the moon's very bright tonight. No wonder you didn't need the light."
She fished out her phone and took photos of the moon.
Hearing what she said, I also looked up at the full moon in the night sky. All of a sudden, my heart tightened when I remembered what I had forgotten.
There was a full moon tonight. Rufus must have been suffering a lot right now.
