The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 416

Sylvia's POV:

When I awoke the following morning, the spot next to me was empty.

I climbed out of bed and stretched. After getting dressed, I walked out of the bedroom barefoot and found Rufus on the phone in the living room. He looked very serious, so I didn't dare to disturb him. Instead, I looked around the living room quietly.

Although Rufus was stayingin a single dormitory, it was fully equipped. Not only was there a proper living room, but also a small balcony.

There was an armchair and a table on the balcony. On the table was an ashtray with a lone unfinished cigarette sitting in it.

When Rufus saw that I was up, he said a few more words and then hung up the phone. Only then did I walk to him, wrapping my arms around him.

"Did something happen?" I asked sleepily.

Before answering, Rufus wrapped his arms around my waist and gave me a morning kiss.

"Has your instructor informed you that your team is going to the western border with us to carry out a mission next week?"

I nodded. "Yes, but he also said that I'm not taking part in this mission because I'll be busy training with Leonard." "That was the original plan. But something unexpected happened." Wearing a grim expression, Rufus spoke in a low voice.

"Why? What happened?" I frowned slightly.

"My men have traced the specific location of the dark witch. It just so happens that it coincides with the place of the mission." Rufus' eyes clouded over.

I nearly gasped in surprise. "What a coincidence!" "Yeah. I'm worried that the dark witch will leave, so I had the mission moved. We set out three days from now. It also means that you have to make a choice." Rufus sighed. "I know Blair also means a lot to you. After all, he was your teacher and your first friend in school. So I'll let you decide whether to go or not. Whatever you choose, I'll respect your decision."

I made up my mind in that moment. There was no need to hesitate. Although I believed that Rufus would be able to capture the dark witch without me, I cared deeply about Blair. So no matter what, I had to join the mission. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to rest easy.

"I'm going. My only problem is Leonard. How will I explain the situation to him?" My frown deepened and I scratched my head. "My training with him was supposed to last a month. He's staying in the imperial capital for me. I can't just leave him." Plus, Edwin's hair..."
