The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 83

Sylvia's POV:

The evening finally came, so I changed into clean clothes and waited for Maya at the gate of the dormitory ahead of time.

"Miss Todd... Why are you so early today?" Maya was surprised to see me arrive early. Holding a bag in one hand, she rubbed her eyes with the other hand and said, "Miss Todd, it's really you! I thought you would also be late today like yesterday."

"No. My class finished earlier today." I touched my nose as I spoke. Actually, I just rushed here right after my class without eating dinner. Fortunately, Flora was so careless that she didn't notice anything unusual about me.

Maya chuckled and handed over the bag in her hand to me. "Prince Rufus said that you have to drink the soup first before you go. Otherwise, it will get cold."

I took out the soup from the bag and drank it without hesitation. I couldn't wait to see Rufus, so I drank it in a hurry. But my tongue was scalded at my first gulp.

Maya was frightened by my expression. "Miss Todd, the soup has just been made. It's still very hot. Please drink it slowly."

I paused for a while and frowned. Then I blew on the soup and drank it regardless of its hotness.

Although it got many medical herbs in it, it didn't taste bad at all.

After drinking it up, I handed back the bowl to Maya with a smile and said, "Let's go?"

I followed Maya to the palace again, just like last night. I calmed myself down and slowly pushed the door open. But much to my dismay, I didn't see the man I had been looking forward to seeing. Instead, I saw an elegant middle-aged she-wolf with golden curly hair and a woolen dress.

The excitement all over my body instantly vanished as if a basin of cold water was poured on me.

"Prince Rufus can't come because he has urgent business to deal with the following days, so he has arranged a professional dance instructor for you," Maya explained at once.

I felt utterly disappointed, but I forced a smile.

"Hello, Sylvia. My name is Chloe. I'll be your dance instructor in the next two days," Chloe said enthusiastically.

Waltz was one of the most elegant dances and could effortlessly create a romantic atmosphere. While watching Chloe demonstrate a few steps, the scene of last night inevitably played back in my mind. Every beat seemed to step on my heart and resonate with it. I began to look forward to the ball on Friday.

When the music was over, Chloe stopped dancing and said to me, "Sylvia, do you need me to demonstrate it again?"

"It's all right, Chloe. I think I can do it," I said with a smile.
