The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 395

Rufus' POV:

"Of course, I don't want you to live such a kind of life." Sylvia held my hand and looked at me with her bright eyes. "Just as you said, I used to have nothing to be concerned about in the past. But now I have you, and I will never leave you alone."

She paused for a while, and her pretty face twisted again. "But I don't think there is any conflictbetween that and me servingmy country."

I knocked her head helplessly. "You still don't get it. When you become a real soldier in the future, you will have not only me and your friends, but the citizens who trust and respect you, and the responsibility to defend the land."

She nodded and said, "That's right. But to protect all these we care about, we must pay with blood."

"But you have to understand that losing once is not terrible. What is terrible is that you will never have a chance to win again. There are many games in life, but you must never gamble with your own life," I said in an unprecedentedly heavy tone, putting my hands on Sylvia's shoulders. "Otherwise, I can't accept the possible consequences, Sylvia."

Sylvia fell silent. Then after a while, she raised her head and looked at me. This time, she no longer looked confused. "I understand, Rufus. I now have the ability to love and the man I love. But before that, I have to learn to love myself first, so I won't joke about my own life anymore."

I calmed down. But I couldn't help but make her promise. "Sylvia, promise me that before you do anything that may endanger your life in the future, think about me first. Okay?"

"Yes, Rufus, I promise." After saying this, Sylvia tiptoed and kissed me on my lips. "Nothing is more important than you. Without you, all the things I pursue are just meaningless."

I sighed and held her tightly in my arms. My heart was overflowing with my love for her.

I felt the same as her. Without her, my life was also meaningless.

"I'm going to apologize to Leonard tomorrow," Sylvia said in a low voice, then buried her head in my arms.

I touched her head, feeling relieved. "Although Leonard looks fierce, he is softhearted. Communicate with him more when there is a chance."

"No," Sylvia refuse with a long face. She grimaced as if she was having a headache. "I guess every time I communicate with Leonard, he will only scold me. I'm really scared of him."

I couldn't help but laugh. "Don't worry, honey. I'll talk to him next time and ask him to scold you less."
