Maya's POV:
After the ceremony, Prince Rufus walked down the high platform, escorted by some people.
I immediately ran back and waited for his orders. He still had the bunch of flowers in his hands, so I followed him and said in a low voice, "Prince Rufus, you can give the flowers to me. It's inconvenient for you to hold them all the time." He nodded at me, but his face was expressionless. After handing over the flowers to me, he walked away to talk with the elders beside him.
The flowers were ordinary white calla lilies, but I found them unusually fragrant. After carrying them in my hands for a while, the fragrance made me feel a little dizzy.
Ordinary white calla lilies should have a light fragrance, right? Was this a different variety? I looked at the bouquet in my hands suspiciously. It was beautiful. But for some reason, I didn't want to hold it anymore.
"I love this smell! It clears up my senses," Opal, my wolf, excitedly exclaimed in my head.
"How can that be?" I was a little surprised. I smelled the flowers again, and the pungent fragrance rushed straight to my forehead. "Oh, it stinks! Opal, is there something wrong with your sense of smell?"
"But when I smell it, I feel like it's full of power. You might get used to it when you smell it more." Opal was inexplicably excited. She kept urging me to smell the flowers again.
But the dizziness I felt only got worse. I even had the urge to throw up now.
"Maya, did you overeat in the morning? Why do you react so strongly?" Opal asked. She was obviously confused by my reaction.
"Maybe so." I pinched my forehead listlessly. "If I knew, I shouldn't have eaten so much earlier."
I got up at four o'clock in the morning to prepare for the soldiers' parade. I was afraid that I wouldn't have time to eat anything until the end of the day, so I ate a heavy breakfast. After all, starving was what I feared the most in my life.
I shook my head. "Maybe it's better that I throw up now."
At this time, a man wearing a guard's uniform came over. He also worked for Prince Rufus. His name was Calum.
