Chapter 306 Jailbreak
Rufus' POV:
Amos was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. His face was deathly pale, and his lips had turned bluish-purple. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"Just hold on. I'll call the doctor." I stood up, wanting to call the guards in.
But he reached out to stop me. "No need, Prince Rufus. Do you have any cigarette?"
I picked up the cigarette box from the table and took one stick. Then I put it into Amos's mouth and lit it for him.
Shaking, he took a long drag on the cigarette and said, "Thank you, Prince Rufus. One drag is enough."
"What exactly happened? Who did this to you?" I asked with a frown, taking the cigarette away from his mouth.
"After you were imprisoned, Prince Richard took charge of dispatching all the troops in the palace," Amos said in a weak voice.
"Was it my father's arrangements?"
"It was Prince Richard who took the initiative to propose it to the lycan king. King Ethan couldn't embarrass and refuse him in front of everyone, so he had no choice but to agree." Amos's face darkened, and his breathing quickened.
I put the cigarette in my hand back to his mouth. But this time, he didn't even have the strength to take a drag. It was only then that I realized that he was dying.
"This time, Prince Richard has arranged all our men to protect the students in the forbidden forest instead of his own people. I vaguely felt that something was wrong, so I secretly left the team and followed him." Amos paused, gasping for air. He was too weak to speak and began to spit out black blood.
I held his head and tried to wipe his mouth. But he stopped me by blocking my hand.
"It's dirty. Please don't touch it." Amos could hardly open his eyes at this moment. He tried to catch his breath and continued, "I overheard Prince Richard and Gamma Mateo's conversation. They have buried a lot of explosives in the forbidden forest, preparing to eliminate all the dissidents at once."
I thought of Sylvia right away, and my heart started to get anxious.
Amos's thin voice trailed off as he had no strength left in him anymore. He struggled to take out a dagger and stabbed his leg fiercely. He sobered up momentarily because of the pain but soon his eyes darkened again.
"I was about to report to King Ethan when someone hit me with a poisonous weapon. Prince Richard's men chased me all the way here near the dungeon, so I decided to come here to find you." Amos was on the verge of dying when he said this. But he still struggled to open his eyes and look at me. "Prince Rufus, only you can save them now."
Then he lost his breath after this last sentence. I closed Amos's eyes, stood up, and hurried out. But when I got to the door, I was stopped by the guard.
"Price Rufus, where are you going?"
"I have to go out," I responded with a cold face. I walked past him without even looking at him.
The guard stood in front of me fearlessly and said, "If you escape from prison, it will be a more serious crime. Prince Rufus, please think twice before you do anything."
"Get out of my way if you don't want to die. I don't have time to waste on you," I warned him coldly.
"Prince Rufus, please don't make things difficult for us. If King Ethan blames us, we will definitely lose our lives." After saying this, the guard summoned the other guards outside to block me.
"I'll say it for the last time, get out of my way! I'll take full responsibility for whatever happens."
I was about to lose my temper. If they didn't let me go and insisted on blocking me, I might have to turn to violence at any moment. Thinking that Sylvia was in imminent danger made me angrier. The guards all took a step back one after another. But they still didn't give up. "How about we report to King Ethan first? Prince Rufus, please wait for a moment."
"You're telling me to wait?" I sneered coldly. By the time they finished reporting, the forbidden forest would have been blown up.
I stopped talking nonsense with them and kicked the guard in front of me away. The rest of the guards were so scared that they didn't dare to go forward.
"Come on! Just fight with me," I said, looking at them indifferently.
