Chapter 357 Enlightened

Rufus’ POV:

Reassured by Sylvia’s gentle gaze, I began to vent my emotions.

“My father nearly cried just because I called him ‘dad’. And my mother said that I had drifted away from her a long time ago. I didn’t realize until today that, ever since I was cursed, I had isolated myself and pushed my parents away.”

Sylvia tilted her head to the side and mulled over what I said. “When did you start to distance yourself from Queen Laura?”

“Probably around the time after I was cursed,” I said after thinking for a while. Smiling bitterly, I continued, “She didn’t know about the curse back then. In order to keep it a secret, my father took me in under the guise of training me. He didn’t allow me to contact anyone, including my own mother.”

I felt like I was drowning in a devastating pool of despair, choking out any ounce of hope left in me. But I wanted to live. And in order to do that, I had to accept the harsh reality. On the one hand, I despised myself, while on the other, I strived to live. It was also thanks to the mental anguish that the curse caused that my temperament changed greatly. I gradually became sensitive and irritable, not wanting to get close to anyone.” I f0rced a smile and laughed at myself bitterly. “After all, who would want to be friends with a monster?”
