Chapter 805 The One In The Secret Dungeon
Rufus'' POV:
The atmosphere in the corridor was dull. I looked at the small iron door in front of me and went lost
in thought for a while. When the cigarette was about to burn out, I signaled the guard beside me to
open the iron door.

ir was wearing a tank top and a pair of gym shorts. He was drinking beer and listening to music
while rxing on a massage chair.
People who didn''t know better would have probably thought that he was here for a vacation.
Hearing my footsteps, ir slowly turned to me, pretending to be surprised. "Why are you here?"
"You''re sick, so I came to see you," I replied, trying my best to keep calm even though my tone was
laced with disdain.
ir put down the beer in his hand, stood up, and looked at me. "Are you still mad?"
Then, he walked up to me and patted my shoulder.
I just rolled my eyes and then sat on a chair near the window.
ir followed and poured a ss of water for me. "I''m not sick, and I don''t feel anything wrong with
my body. In fact, I work out every day, and I''ve never felt so good."
I nced at his muscles and sneered. "What''s the point of working out every day? You can''t defeat
me no matter how hard you try."
ir simply chuckled in response and sat across from me. "I know you''re still mad, so I won''t take
that personally. But there is one thing I have to remind you; don''t hit me in the face next time. You
almost broke my nose back there."
"There is no next time," I coldly retorted. "Even if there is, I''ll make sure you won''t survive to
comin about your nose or anything else I''m gonna break."
ir rubbed the bridge of his nose awkwardly and didn''t say anything else. I simply looked at him
as he did so—trying to anticipate what he was going to do next. I knew he wasn''t a person who
would give up easily.
As I thought of the moment he shot me, it would be a lie if I said that I didn''t mind and I''d just forgive
him. After all, he had been my only trusted friend for so many years already. If this whole ordeal
hadn''t happened, he would''ve been my assistant when I took over the position as the king.
But now, I didn''t know if I could trust him anymore.
"Tell me," I said in an audible whisper. "When did you start having a crush on Sylvia?"
ir''s smile faded. "I don''t know. Maybe I had a crush on her the first time I saw her. I didn''t know
she was your mate at that time."
I clenched my fists in hopes of suppressing my anger. "Now that you know that, why did you still
want to take her away from me?" "I''ve been holding back before, but when you guys brought me
back from the deadly curse, I realized that life was too short." he gave me a bitter smile. "That''s why
I decided to try my best to pursue whatever I wanted in life, or else I might regret it and—"
Before ir could finish what he was about to say, I instantly leaned over and grabbed his cor. I
red at him as I barked, "She''s my mate. She''s the woman I love the most, and the one and only
mother of my child. You have no chance, ir."
ir didn''t struggle. He just stared at me with a gloomy, hurt expression. "I know what you mean
Rufus, but what else do you expect me to do? I already tried my best to hold back."
I took a deep breath to calm myself down. Then, I loosened my hold on his cor. "Since you care
about Sylvia so much, I think you know why she went to the ck market and then left the imperial
pce."
"She was probably bored and wanted to experience something adventurous and exciting. There''s
nothing wrong with that," ir perfunctorily answered. I could tell that he wasn''t telling the truth.
"Sylvia might be hiding something from us, and I''m guessing it has something to do with Noreen." I
clenched my fists. "If she''s in danger, the consequences will be dire."
Suddenly, ir frowned and gave me a serious look. "Noreen appeared again?"
