Sylvia's POV:
I gave Rufus a meaningful look. "Now you know how I feel, right? So you should also take care of yourself. Don't think for a second that I don't know what kind of a man I fell in love with."
After all, Rufus shouldered way more responsibilities than I did. Also, I had heard of his fighting style. He was known to be crazy on the battlefield.
It was said that in order to get to the enemy's leader, he'd break into their camp—alone.
As crazy as it sounded, the story was true.
When he came back, he was so seriously injured that he had blacked out into a coma for three whole days. He almost didn't survive that ordeal. Even back when I was still with my pack, I had heard of his crazy deeds. And at the time, I didn't have any feelings for him. I just saw the infamous Prince Rufus as a crazy man, like how the rumors painted him to be.
But things were different now. I loved him. Whenever I thought about his wild escapades from before, I couldn't help but feel worried and scared.
Rufus seemed to read my mind and smiled helplessly. "Don't worry. I've changed." "Good boy," I patted his head the way he usually did with me. "Although we're bound to die sooner or later, I'm not scared, knowing that I'll be reunited with you after death."
Rufus opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he only sighed.
I stroked his eyebrows and said gently, "Stop frowning. It's a good thing if we die together, isn't it?"
"Then I won't allow you to die so easily. Otherwise, you won't be qualified to be buried in this cemetery." Rufus wrapped his arms around my waist and looked at me with a helpless smile.
I nodded seriously. "You don't have to worry about that. I will cherish my life!"
Rufus chuckled and finally compromised. "Fine. I'll register a spot for you later."
"Thank you, sir!" I saluted him playfully with a twinkle in my eye.
After that, Rufus took me back to my dormitory.
