Chapter 245 The Parade
Maya's POV:
At the center of the city stood a gigantic statue. It didn't only serve as the landmark of the empire, but it had also witnessed the ups and downs of the empire and the successions of countless kings to the throne.
The soldiers' parade, held every four years, was the prelude to tomorrow's military parade. It was also a celebration for the entire nation. The whole street was already jam-packed with werewolves. Everyone was dressed in all kinds of grand costumes and hats of various colors to celebrate the event.
I stood in the crowd, looking at Prince Rufus on the high platform. I felt very proud.
In my eyes, he deserved all the glory and praises in the world. Although there were rumors that he was cruel and cold-blooded, I knew very well that he was actually a warm-hearted lycan. In fact, I owed my life to him. If it weren't for him, I might have been dead long ago.
When I first entered the palace as a maid, I was often alienated and isolated because of my inferior position. Once, I was framed and accused of stealing and was almost beaten to death by an older maid. That time, Prince Rufus accidentally passed by and rescued me. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Since then, I had been loyal to Prince Rufus. And I was one of the few people who knew about his curse.
At this moment, a melodious bell suddenly rang. Then a long float filled with fragrant flowers stopped in front of the high platform, and a six-year-old boy jumped out of the float.
He picked up a flower bouquet that was almost double his size and held it with his chubby hands. His round face was almost buried in the flowers.
After taking a few steps, it seemed that the boy got tired. He suddenly put down the bouquet, which frightened the staff beside him. They rushed over to him and coaxed him.
The boy was so happy to get some candies from them. His mood lightened up at once, and he picked up the bouquet again. This time, his pace was much faster, and even ran up the high platform.
He looked so cute that everyone couldn't help laughing with good intentions.
Prince Rufus took the bouquet from him and smiled, which was a rare sight. All the reporters present quickly pressed the shutter of their cameras, trying to capture such a rare beautiful scene.
I took out a tissue to wipe the tears at the corners of my eyes. I felt extremely relieved. Finally, I saw the human affection in Prince Rufus. He was no longer gloomy all year round. It was as if the sun finally began to favor the trapped beast in the dark corner. And all this was because of Sylvia.
"Oh, why are you crying? I have some tissue here. Do you need them?" said a she-wolf beside me in confusion. She wore a pass card, and she had a camera in her hands. It seemed that she was a reporter.
"No, thank you. I'm just moved by the scene just now. Our Prince Rufus is so great." After saying this, I sniffed and sobbed. Then I looked at the camera in her hands. "Can you take more photos from every angle? Prince Rufus looks very perfect today. He's flawless."
"I'm actually taking photos of him now." The she -wolf raised her camera and aimed it at Prince Rufus again. While taking photos, she sighed and said, "Sure enough, he is flawless."
"By the way, were you able to capture it when Prince Rufus smiled just now?" I turned around and asked her.
The she-wolf patted her precious camera and said proudly, "Yes, of course!"
"Is it okay if you send me a copy? I just want to share it with a friend."
The friend I was talking about was Sylvia. I knew she would be very happy to see it. It was a pity that she had classes today and couldn't come here.
"No problem. Here's my account. Add me." After giving me her contact information, the she-wolf went to the back to take more photos of other scenes.
At this moment, Prince Rufus was already delivering his speech. The audience fell silent, all fixing their eyes on the handsome and extraordinary lycan, Prince Rufus.
