The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 854

Sylvia's POV:

Laura frowned. "And then?"

"Then, no one is allowed to remind Rufus of my existence." I told Laura about my plan. It was a bit of a challenge to put into action, but I was out of options.

However, Laura didn't think it would work. "It's too difficult. It's hard to keep their mouths shut. Although you and Rufus haven't held a wedding, your relationship with him is known to the public, and now you are pregnant with his child. Besides, you've made significant contributions to the royal military. You're well-known and well-liked by many. If you fake your death, people will still talk about you."

I had already come up with a solution. "That's why you should convict me. For instance, tell everyone that I was guilty of treason. That's a state crime, and it should work."

"Please give this some serious consideration, Sylvia. Being convicted of treason is not a joke. You might never be able to step into the imperial capital and see Rufus again," Laura said to me in evident surprise.

"I know that." I lowered my eyelids and felt a slight tinge of pain in my heart. When I made this decision, I already knew the consequences.

In the end, all I could do was retreat into the shadows and watch Rufus from a distance. Maybe he'll meet someone new and start a family with her. Everything would be well for the rest of his life, and he would be respected and loved by everyone. Everything he knew about me, including my identity, would become a part of his history. I was never going to be part of his future. It just wasn't meant to be.

As I thought of a future without any connection to him, tears began to well up in my eyes.

"Sylvia, is there really no other option?" Laura sighed helplessly.

"No. I've been trying to find a way to break the curse for quite some time now. This is the only way to completely remove it withouthurtinghim." I sniffed back my tears, tried my best to calm down before lifting my gaze up to Laura.
