Harry's POV:
After I left Sylvia and Rufus, I went back to the army to wait as I was told.
However, I was unable to reach Sylvia all night. And to make matters worse, something seemed wrong with Prince Rufus. Sylvia was probably hiding something from me.
In the dead of night, I sat on the balcony, drinking one bottle of cola after another. I didn't stop until my stomach was about to burst.
However, the cola couldn't drown all my worries. I still missed Joanna so much. I had never before felt so helpless in my entire life. Had I been stronger, I could have protected Joanna from getting hurt.
Disheartened, I lay down and gazed up at the night sky. Extreme sadness filled my entire being as I knew there was nothing I could do.
"Just sleep, Harry. Everything will be fine after a good night's rest." My wolf tried to calm me down.
After days of sleep deprivation, I gradually fell asleep in the comforting words of my wolf.
In the middle of my sleep, I was suddenly awakened by a nightmare. I abruptly sat up from the balcony bench in my shorts and tank top.
It was already dawn. The sky was overcast, and it was drizzling.
I wiped my face hard to wake myself up.
Then I checked my phone only to realize it had run out of battery. With a light stretch, I stood up to charge my phone before going to the bathroom to take a cold shower. Then I changed into a fresh set of sportswear, grabbed my phone, and dashed back to the imperial palace.
Rufus' palace was as heavily-guarded as ever. As soon as I arrived at the gate, I was stopped by cold-faced soldiers.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Myers, but you can't go in."
"I'm looking for Princess Sylvia and Prince Rufus," I said anxiously. It had been a whole night, but I still hadn't heard back from Sylvia. Was there really something wrong?
