Chapter 121: Self-abasement

Sylvia’s POV:

"Don’t… don’t cry.Your cries break my heart." Yana also sobbed.

"I know that I said something harsh.But only it’s because I’m worried about you.I don’t want you to
regret in the end."

"I know," I said with a nod.

I wiped away my tears, feeling extremely bitter in my heart.

"I really don’t know what to do now."

"I know what you’re afraid of.But it’s not your fault that you were born that way.Now that the Moon
Goddess has arranged for you and Rufus to be mates, it means that you deserve him.Don’t miss your
true love because of self-abasement and cowardice.Otherwise, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life,"

Yana comforted me in a choked voice.

"Sylvia…" A familiar voice sounded.

When I looked in the direction where it came from, I saw Flora.She ran to me and anxiously asked
while panting, "Are you okay?"

After saying this, she pulled me up from the ground and patted the dust on my clothes.

"Are you hurt?" I shook my head awkwardly.

"I’m okay.Why are you here?"



"Your emotional outburst just now almost scared me to death." Flora patted her chest with lingering
fear.

"Don’t do it again." I pursed my lips, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I’m sorry for making you worried."

"Hey, you don’t need to apologize.We are friends, aren’t we?" Flora rolled her eyes and sat down on
the step beside me.

"Tell me the truth.What on earth happened?"

I pondered for a while, hesitating and not knowing what to say.

"Did you have a fight with Prince Rufus?" Flora looked at me cautiously with a frown.

"How can a cold man of few words like Prince Rufus fight with you?" I nodded awkwardly.

"I did something wrong that made him angry."

"What? Only you dare to do that,"Flora exclaimed and crossed her arms over her chest.

"What do you think I should do now?" I asked, couldn’t help sighing.

Rufus was a person who seldom showed his emotions.It was the first time that he got so angry with
me.I guessed he would never forgive me.

"Since you did something wrong, go and apologize to him.Prince Rufus is cold and ruthless, but you
are his only exception.So just be brave and apologize to him," Flora advised.

"Okay, I can give it a try.I’ll go and apologize to him tomorrow."



After making up my mind, it was only then that I felt better.

When Flora and I went back to our room, I was sleepless all night.

So the next day, I went to class with dark circles under my eyes.

Five minutes before the class, Warren arrived on crutches.

He walked up to me with bruises on his face.

"Sylvia, what happened later? I woke up, and you guys were all gone. Is everything all right?"

I helped him sit down and said, "Nothing, Prince Rufus just left."

I paused and looked at him guiltily.

"I’m sorry."

Then I suddenly remembered that Warren said he liked me.I coughed in embarrassment.It made me
panic and uneasy.I somehow felt very sorry for Rufus.

"It was me who made trouble for you.And about what I said last night…"

As he spoke, Warren scratched his hair.

"Don’t get me wrong.I only wanted to help you get rid of Prince Rufus immediately.I was just afraid that
he would force himself on you."

I breathed a sigh of relief and patted him on the shoulder.

"I understand.Don’t worry about me.Prince Rufus is a good man, and he will never force himself on
me."



Warren didn’t say anything more.But I found that he was still staring at me with a worried look on his
face.It seemed that he wanted to say something, but he was hesitating.

After class, I went to see Rufus.But the door of his palace was closed, and there were many guards
outside.I wanted to get close, but the guards stopped me.
