Rufus' POV:
That was also what I couldn't figure out. If we both loved each other, why did Sylvia leave me?
"Anyway, that's everything I know. I hope you'll uphold your end of the deal and keep Firman out of this. Yes, Firman's not Richard's child, so please let him grow up safe and sound." Speaking of her son, Lucy looked at me with pleading eyes.
I kept silent for a while and then made up my mind. "Firman will remain a member of the royal family, but you, on the other hand, crossed the line. I can't forgive you."
Lucy lowered her head dejectedly. "I understand. But I just hope that you'll allow me some time with Firman. I don't want to leave a bad impression on my son."
"I understand that you love your son..." I gave her an ultimatum. "I'll give you one more month to be with him."
Then without giving her the chance to negotiate, I turned around and left.
On my way back, I found myself standing in front of the palace I used to live in when I was still a prince. I dismissed the servants and entered the palace gloomily.
In my dream, from the long corridor to the small garden, there were all kinds of marvelous flowers and rare plants. Today, the plants had withered to nothingness, which filled my heart with bitterness. Previously, these flowers and plants had been carefully taken care of.
And to my surprise, the old swing in the garden had been taken down. I remembered that it was still here when I last visited.
"Have you forgotten already, Rufus? It was Adela. She wanted to live in this palace, and you agreed. But she only stayed here for a couple of days. You made her move to another palace," Omar reminded me when he sensed my confusion.
Realizing that, I felt upset. Adela had only stayed in this palace for a few days, but she managed to make so many despicable changes, including the demolition of the small garden.
Annoyed, I made a mental note to ask some people to restore it.
