    Sylvia''s POV:


    Shawn swiftly sprang to his feet and seized the soldier''s cor. "What did you say? Who is here?"


    he asked in disbelief.

    "Prince Rufus..." the soldier replied, his voice trembling.


    Startled, I instantly knew that Rufus was here to catch me.


    Several days had passed since we left the capital city. Rufus being able to locate us was not


    unusual. After all, he had spies all over the empire.


    ir and I exchanged nces and immediately decided that we should run now.


    "Why is Prince Rufus suddenly here?" He then nced at ir and me. Because Shawn had lost


    his teeth, he sounded funny as he spoke.


    "He... He said we have to hand over his people, or he would raze the entire pack to the ground,"


    informed the soldier.


    "Fuck!" Shawn cursed, appearing perplexed as to how he should handle the unexpected


    circumstance.


    I secretly gestured toward ir. When Shawn and others weren''t looking, we immediately turned


    around and ran in the opposite direction.


    In a sh, Shawn ordered the soldiers to chase after us. "Get them! Capture them at all costs, or the


    pack would be doomed! Whoever catches them first will receive a generous reward."


    In an instant, the guests who had been friendly to me earlier changed their expressions and rushed


    over to us.


    "Damn it!" ir cursed and stood in front of me to keep me safe. "Sylvia, you run first."


    I felt uneasy as I saw the group of men approaching us from behind. "I can''t. We are surrounded."


    "Then we have to fight a way out," ir said calmly as he knocked a soldier out to the ground.


    However, aside from the soldiers, there were still a lot of guests present, most of whom were well-


    dressed aristocrats and innocent children.


    Being decent soldiers as we were, ir and I didn''t dare to do anything to hurt them. We had no


    choice but to resist passively.


    Shawn summoned some elderly she-wolves and little children to surround us since he seemed to


    realize that we dared not harm these people.


    I scolded Shawn in my heart. He was really despicable and shameless.


    "What should we do?" I asked ir.


    Looking at the row of kids in front of us, I didn''t know what to do.


    ir stood in front of me and rummaged through his pocket. I thought he was going to pull the gun


    again. But just as I was about to stop him from hurting the children, he took out a handful of


    candies.


    He then handed them to a child in the lead and said, "Take these and share them with the other


    kids."


    Seeing that there were candies, the rest of the children were distracted.


    I gave ir a low-pitchedpliment. "Awesome! Where did you get so many candies?" "I was


    worried you might suffer from hypoglycemia, so I had them ready in advance." ir chuckled,


    patted me on the shoulder, and casually booted away a soldier. "Is that the best you can do? Come


    on, all of you! Show me what you''ve got."


    Shawn was a person who couldn''t stand provocation. So when he heard ir''s words, he was


    irritated. "All of you, go and catch them! Don''t show them any mercy."


    Hearing Shawn''smand, the soldiers and the citizens wasted no time and flocked around ir.


    Now, no one had their eyes on me. Noticing this, ir winked at me, signaling me to run away.


    I hesitated for a moment. But after seeing ir handle those people with ease, I ran to a corner


    when no one was looking.


    When I finally managed to escape from the crowd, Cherry, who was dressed in tatters, suddenly


    emerged out of nowhere, grabbed my thighs, and begged me to take her with me.
