Rufus' POV:
I felt a headache coming on, but I had no choice. It wasn't easy for Sylvia to find something that she would enjoy, and I didn't want to disappoint her.
"Let her be. I'll talk to my father."
"Yes, sir," Maya said with a nod and turned to leave.
"Wait!" I exclaimed, causing Maya to stop in her tracks and turn back to look at me. "What do women like to do nowadays?"
"Well, judging from Miss Todd's personality, I don't think she likes shopping like most girls. I think she likes flowers and plants, though. She also likes to do handicrafts and read military books. Playing games together could also strengthen your bond with her, Prince Rufus. Maybe you should try it sometime when you're free." she smiled. "Oh, and she likes furry animals the most, too! One time, we saw a stray cat in the palace garden, and she played with the cat for the whole afternoon."
Sylvia really did love furry animals. When we were together in private, she always liked to touch my wolf's tail and ears.
I thought about what Maya said for a while. Then, I asked her to go to the royal pet hospital and bring a cat back. I also told her to prepare a gamepad and download the most popular games. I didn't want Sylvia to be bored while she was alone.
"Also, I want you to prepare some food that Sylvia likes. She's probably depressed right now, and she eats when she feels upset."
I subconsciously let out a smile as I said that. I couldn't wait to go back and see her.
Maya nodded. She went silent for a while before she cautiously asked, "Prince Rufus, how long are you going to lock Miss Todd up? If you keep her locked up, I'm afraid that she'll drift farther and farther away from you."
I didn't say a word. My heart felt heavy as I watched the glass of water on the table. I was really mad, and I just wanted to give her a little punishment. I didn't plan to lock her up for long at first.
But then, I realized that locking her up wasn't as bad as it seemed. I wanted her to stay in the palace and let her live under my protection for the rest of her life.
