Chapter 246 The Strange Floral Fragrance
Maya's POV:
After the ceremony, Prince Rufus walked down the high platform, escorted by some people. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
I immediately ran back and waited for his orders. He still had the bunch of flowers in his hands, so I followed him and said in a low voice, "Prince Rufus, you can give the flowers to me. It's inconvenient for you to hold them all the time." He nodded at me, but his face was expressionless. After handing over the flowers to me, he walked away to talk with the elders beside him.
The flowers were ordinary white calla lilies, but I found them unusually fragrant. After carrying them in my hands for a while, the fragrance made me feel a little dizzy.
Ordinary white calla lilies should have a light fragrance, right? Was this a different variety? I looked at the bouquet in my hands suspiciously. It was beautiful. But for some reason, I didn't want to hold it anymore.
"I love this smell! It clears up my senses," Opal, my wolf, excitedly exclaimed in my head.
"How can that be?" I was a little surprised. I smelled the flowers again, and the pungent fragrance rushed straight to my forehead. "Oh, it stinks! Opal, is there something wrong with your sense of smell?"
"But when I smell it, I feel like it's full of power. You might get used to it when you smell it more." Opal was inexplicably excited. She kept urging me to smell the flowers again.
But the dizziness I felt only got worse. I even had the urge to throw up now.
"Maya, did you overeat in the morning? Why do you react so strongly?" Opal asked. She was obviously confused by my reaction.
"Maybe so." I pinched my forehead listlessly. "If I knew, I shouldn't have eaten so much earlier."
I got up at four o'clock in the morning to prepare for the soldiers' parade. I was afraid that I wouldn't have time to eat anything until the end of the day, so I ate a heavy breakfast. After all, starving was what I feared the most in my life.
I shook my head. "Maybe it's better that I throw up now."
At this time, a man wearing a guard's uniform came over. He also worked for Prince Rufus. His name was Calum.
"Maya, do you want to give the flowers to me? I'll help you get rid of them. It's not convenient for you to hold them all the time," Calum said.
I was about to say something when Opal crazily stopped me in my head. "No, don't take them away! I like the smell of these flowers so much. Maya, just hold them for a while more."
"But I really feel so dizzy now," I said to Opal. I was in a dilemma.
Opal didn't respond anymore. I knew she was upset.
"Maya? Are you okay?" Calum asked in confusion.
His voice made me come back to my senses.
"Well..." I held the flowers in my arms and hesitated for a moment. Finally, I couldn't take the feeling of dizziness anymore, so I handed the flowers to him.
Calum took the flowers and looked at me worriedly. "Are you sure you're okay? You look very pale."
"I'm alright. I'll be fine in a minute," I said weakly, waving my hand.
Calum was about to leave with the bouquet when I suddenly remembered that Prince Rufus had been holding it all the time just now. It seemed that he cherished it very much. Disposing of the bouquet without his consent was not something a good maid should do.
"Wait!" I stopped Calum at once.
Calum turned to me and asked, "What's wrong?" "Take the flowers back to Prince Rufus' palace. Leave them there," I answered.
I saw that Calum froze for a moment. But then he nodded and said, "Okay."
I felt much better after the flowers were taken away from me. Was it really because I had eaten too much breakfast? I felt strange.
I called Opal several times, but she just ignored me. She must be angry.
