Chapter 1144 A Moment Of Sce


    Lucy''s POV:


    Wrapped in a nket, I sat on the balcony and watched the snow fall from the sky as night fell. My thoughts were all over the ce.


    It was yet another winter without Kyle by my side.


    When springtime arrived and the air warmed up, I wondered if I would finally feel better.


    With that, I straightened up and drank some wine. I had to think on my feet. Apparently, Rufus had called a doctor urgently earlier, but after that, nothing else happened. I thought that Beryl should have survived.


    But it didn''t matter. That girl was not my real target this time.


    As I kept a low profile these years, I had also quietly trained and ced trusted subordinates in the imperial pce. I had used everyone I could to execute my n this time. Although I had indeed been too anxious, I couldn''t wait any longer.


    Despite Rufus'' memory loss, his feelings for Sylvia did not change, even after she had changed her name and identity to Crystal. There was little certainty that they wouldn''t reconcile and get back together in the future.


    I wouldn''t allow her son to be the heir to the throne; or my forbearance over the years would be in vain.


    Firman must be given that opportunity. I''d make sure he''d seed the throne whatever it took, even if it didn''t actually belong to him.


    I gulped down all the red wine and chucked the ss out the balcony. Then I turned around and


    picked up the phone from the table.


    It was alreadyte. My men hadn''t contacted me yet, which made me very uneasy. I was afraid that something went wrong.


    Just as I was anxious, I felt a pair of


    soft hands on my back. Then an enticing aroma filled my nostrils. My frown loosened and my brows unfurled as I took the hands. I

    leaned back against the person and refied on her wholeheartedly.


    The person behind me chuckled, raised her hand, and rubbed my temples. She said brightly, "Honey, don''t be upset. It''s all going to work out."


    I opened my eyes and swiveled to face my personal maid, Rosa. My gaze fell on her beautiful eyes first and then her luscious lips. Her seductive mouth was ajar and a bold shade of red painted her lips.


    I wiped it with my thumb and looked at it carefully.


    Rosa cracked a grin. "This is my newly made lipstick. I''ll give it to youter."


    I nodded without saying anything. Once again, I leaned my head on her shoulderzily. For many years, Rosa was my onlypanion andfort in this lonely pce.


    She gently stroked my back and

    comforted me in a slow voice, "Don''t think too much. If our n has been exposed this ce should have already been surrounded by the king''s guards and the king himself. Trust me, everything is going ording to our n."


    "Yes." I was a little depressed, but after beingforted by Rosa, I realized that my worries were unwarranted.


    "I heard that the plum trees have started to bloom in the suburbs. Once our n has been carried out sessfully, we should sneak out of the pce to enjoy the blossom," Rosa added.


    I didn''t say anything. Instead, I rested my chin on her shoulder and felt tired for no reason.


    Since the day Richard was exiled, I


    had also gone down in the world. If I wanted to go out of the pce, I had to ask for permission first. And in most cases, my request was denied. As time went by, I simply gave up the idea of going out of the pce.


    Later, thanks to Rosa who always came up with brilliant ideas, I was able to sneak out of the pce whenever I wanted. Although I could be out for only a short while every time, it was enough.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    If not for Firman, I would have already left this ce.


    "Quit moping and just be happy," Rosa murmured as she licked my earlobe with the tip of her tongue.
