Chapter 27: Military School
Sylvia‘s POV:
Right after dinner, Rufus took me away, regardless of how others would react.
"Uh, is it really appropriate for us to be seen like this?" I whispered nervously as I followed him.
"Well, do you want to turn back now?" Rufus raised an eyebrow and looked at me.

At this time, only a few lights illuminated the balcony area.
Rufus stood with his back to the light, making it look like he had a halo of moonlight around his
head.He pretended to walk back.
"No! I don‘t." I hurriedly grabbed his wrist.
"I was just asking." He stopped easily.
Was he just kidding around? No.What was a lycan‘s business with making jokes? I pushed aside such
ridiculous thought.
Rufus led me downstairs, and we met up with a gentle–faced she–wolf who was waiting in the hall.
"Good evening, Prince Rufus.Good evening, Miss Todd." She bowed politely.
"Sylvia, this is Maya.She is going to be your personal maid.When I‘m not around, she will be the one to
help you with anything."
Rufus looked at me seriously.
I was speechless.I was technically still a ve.
How could I have my own personal maid? I turned to Maya.
She had a round face and her hair was tied neatly back into a simple ponytail.
She smiled a lot, which I appreciated.
Seeing that I was still at a loss with this new information, Maya took the initiative to start the
conversation.
It didn‘t take long for me to like her very much.
With her by my side, I knew it would help make me feel safer in the imperial pce.
"Prince Rufus, wait." A guard came rushing over.
"The queen would like to see you."
As usual, Rufus took his time and didn‘t reply immediately.
Instead, he turned to me.
There seemed to be worry in his eyes.
When I realized he was worried about leaving me, I nudged him gently and said softly, "Go."
Reluctantly, Rufus nodded and then looked at Maya.
"Show Sylvia around the imperial pce."
With thatstmand, Rufus left.
The whole way through, Maya talked.
She took me out for a walk, showing me the different routes and importantndmarks of the imperial
pce.
I nodded attentively and took mental notes, hoping I wouldn‘t get lost here again.
A magnificent building not so far away then came into sight.
It was brightly lit and bustling with people.
It seemed that those who were gathering were a bunch of well–dressed young werewolves.
Naturally, I was curious.
"What‘s going on over there?" I asked Maya.
"That‘s the Royal Military School.Today must be the start of a new term.That‘s why there are lot of
people there."
Maya smiled and then tilted her head at me.
"Do you want to go and have a look?" I nodded in a trance and walked with Maya.
"Is this school only for aristocrats?" I wanted to rify.
After all, the school had the word "Royal" in it, so I assumed it was just for nobility.
"Not exactly.This school was just established by the royal family to train young werewolves with military
talent.Anyone with outstanding potential should be allowed admission…"
"Hey, watch out!" A voice from afar shouted, interrupting Maya.
I looked at the direction where the voice came from and saw a football flying fast right toward my head.
Maya saw this and instinctively wanted to shield me from the ball.
But I quickly pushed her away and flew into a spinning kick, sending the football in another
direction.When I came back to my senses, I heard loud cheering.Several young men rushed over to
me, panting.
They apologized for the football and also praised me for that good kick.
All thepliments made me shy, so I just smiled and said nothing.
"Beautifuldy, may we know who you are?" One of them looked at me with bright eyes full of
amazement.
"Wait, let me guess.Are you a princess?"
Just when I opened my mouth to reply, a high–pitched voice came from the crowed.
"Don‘t bother asking. She‘s nothing but a ve!"
A she–wolf walked out of the crowd.What was she doing here?
