Chapter 250 A Ferocious Attack
Maya's POV:
I tried my best to be courageous, but I still couldn't control my instinctive fear. My legs kept shaking.
I was about to say something when Prince Rufus suddenly grabbed my neck with his sharp claws. His face clouded over, and his eyes were bloodshot. Then a low roar with dangerous killing intent came out of his throat.
"Prince Rufus, please hold on for a while. Miss Todd will be here soon." I didn't dare to struggle so as not to irritate him. I said with difficulty, "Miss Todd will definitely be heartbroken when she sees you like this. Please calm down."
This time, Prince Rufus seemed to recognize me. He didn't continue strangling me, and his grip on my neck loosened.
I was surprised, but I couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief. I knew that he was still rational. He was not crazy. He might regain his reasoning, and he would return to normal when Sylvia arrived.
Right! Sylvia was the only person who could calm Prince Rufus down. When I mentioned her name, I saw a trace of hesitation in his ferocious eyes, and the cruelty his body exuded dispelled a little. But at this time, a bad egg suddenly hit Prince Rufus in the face. The smelly, sticky liquid slid down his chin and dripped on his dark suit.
Everyone fell into silence.
I slowly turned my head and looked in the direction where the egg came from. It turned out to be the innocent little boy who presented the bouquet of flowers at the ceremony. While eating the candy in his hand, his other hand pointed at Prince Rufus and cursed in a childish voice, "Monster!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers around suddenly became nervous. They all raised their weapons and aimed at Prince Rufus. I felt like a fierce fight was about to break out.
"Run, kid! He's a monster!" shouted someone in the crowd.
The little boy burst into tears. I wasn't sure if he was frightened by the sudden shout or by the word "monster."
His cry seemed to stir up the crowd. Everyone began to panic again. Some of them even followed what the boy did. They started throwing whatever was in their hands at Prince Rufus.
I was so anxious that I immediately stood in front of Prince Rufus to shield him. Then I shouted. "Everyone, please calm down! Prince Rufus is not crazy. Don't attack him."
"You're telling us that he's not crazy after him hurting so many people? You must be kidding!"
"Look at his eyes. They're bloodshot! He must be a monster!"
"Oh my God! The future heir to the throne is actually a terrifying monster."
"This is the guidance from the Moon Goddess. We finally know that he is a monster. He doesn't deserve to be our prince."
Everyone was discussing and cursing Prince Rufus with the most vicious words.
I was so angry that I was going crazy. "Shut up! Have you all forgotten who led the werewolf army to win countless battles? Who stood up to protect all of us when we were in danger? If you have forgotten, then you are nothing but a bunch of ungrateful bastards! You're the real monsters here!"
There was a moment of silence in the crowd. It was as if they were shocked by my words. I could see the trace of indecision and shame on their faces.
I breathed a sigh of relief. Then I continued to persuade them in a soft tone, "Prince Rufus must have been framed up, so he becomes like this. Please, don't..."
"Don't listen to her! She connives with Prince Rufus." Someone in the crowd interrupted me. Then one of the soldiers suddenly shouted, "Protect the civilians! Let's take Prince Rufus down!"
This sentence was like a bomb that instantly broke the short tranquility.
Almost at the same time, all the soldiers raised their weapons and attacked Prince Rufus aggressively.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
