Flora's POV:
When I came back from my walk at noon, I received the news that Sylvia had passed away.
I couldn't believe it at first. I turned my phone on to search for the latest news, but there was no news about her death in the capital city, nor was there any relevant news on the Internet.
I read the confidential report several times and thought it was fake. However, Warren told me that couldn't be the case since there was Laura's stamp on it.
Warren worriedly held my arm as he explained that. He was probably afraid that I wouldn't be able to bear Sylvia's sudden death.
My body trembled uncontrollably as my gaze roamed on the one particular sentence on the report again. It said, "Sylvia Todd died in the fire. She was burned to death, and her baby..."
I subtly shook my head. I couldn't read it anymore, and I couldn't imagine what happened to Sylvia. My sadness overwhelmed me, and before I knew it, I began to sob.
I grabbed Warren's arm and cried out loud. "There's no way Sylvia died! She told me that she would come to our wedding. We just talked to each other yesterday!"
Warren fell silent. He didn't say anything, but the look on his face was grim. Despite that, he just held me in his arms and silently comforted me.
"I have to go back to the capital city and verify it myself. I don't believe that Sylvia really died. Where was Prince Rufus? There's no way he'd just stand by and watch her be burned to death!" I exclaimed as endless tears streamed down my cheeks. I pushed Warren away, wanting to rush outside. I wanted to go back to the capital city as soon as possible.
Warren hurriedly pulled me into a hug. I could tell that he didn't want to let me go. "Prince Rufus was in a coma at that time. He didn't know what happened. I heard a rumor that Sylvia was the one who harmed Prince Rufus and the king." "That's bullshit! Sylvia would never do such a thing. She was definitely framed!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. My anger was already bubbling up, and I was dying to find the person who spread the rumor.
