Sylvia's POV:
When I walked out of the secret room, I saw Blair guarding the door anxiously. I asked curiously, "What's wrong, Blair?"
Blair nervously stared at me from head to toe. "Do you know how long it has been since you walked into that room? You've been in there for three days! I would have already rushed in if you hadn't warned me earlier to stay outside."
I wasn't aware that three days had elapsed till that point, but I was ecstatic nonetheless. So I grinned broadly and informed Blair, "I got my mother's inheritance!"
Blair breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Do you feel uncomfortable? How is the baby?"
I shook my head to show that I was fine. "When I opened the book, all the runes and symbols began to flow into my body as if they had a life of their own. I was overwhelmed with knowledge at once, which made it difficult for me to process it quickly, so I tried painstakingly to understand it all. I unintentionally lost track of time and didn't expect that three days had already passed."
With a helpless smile in his eyes, Blair remarked, "You are still the same as you were in the military school. You would always forget to eat and sleep when you study. Every time you train, you would exhaust yourself and not stop until you have no strength left in you."
"I just want to do better." I smiled.
Whether it was in military school or getting my mother's inheritance, it was a way to make myself stronger.
Even if it was not for myself, I had to constantly become stronger for Rufus' sake.
I didn't want to be protected by him all the time. I wanted to protect him one day.
Like he did for me, I also wanted to shower him with love and affection. Rufus would soon be exhausted if he was the only one exerting effort in our relationship. I wanted to shoulder his burden and forge ahead with him.
Naturally, that was if I could manage to lift the new curse on Rufus. But if I couldn't...
I sighed, feeling constantly heavy.
