Chapter 241: Richard’s Plan
Lucy’s POV
The usual indifference on Susan’s face changed she nodded and comforted me. “Have a seat first let me check your belly.”
“My belly’s just fine. I had to lie Otherwise, they wouldn’t let me see you.”
Sitting down, I hated Richard even more. “No. That baby is my nephew. I will not rest until I check up on you”
Susan smiled. She sighed “It must be really hard for you and my brother.”
I lowered my head, caressing my belly as bitterness filled my heart. If Kyle hadn’t sent Susan over to my side, I honestly wouldn’t know what to do.
Originally, Susan’s name was Ashley. She was also Kyle’s biological younger sister. The two siblings had always had a good relationship since their childhood. But ever since their parents separated, 10 were the kids. Susan left the imperial capital with her mother, while Kyle stayed with his father it wasn’t only until recently that Susan returned to the capital and found Kyle again Fortunately, Richard didn’t know yet about her identity.
The first time that Richard sent me Susan, she secretly delivered message for me. Before that, I had just resigned to waiting for death. But with Susan, my hope for life was rekindled again. After giving me a checkup, Susan then started to talk business. “I was able to hook up with one of Prince Richard’s confidants,”
“Really? Were you able to get anything?” I couldn’t wait to ask.
“Only some rumors. Prince Richard apparently plans to deal with Prince Rufus tomorrow. He’s going to use some drug that will make Prince Rufus act crazy. And then, he’s planning to lure the crazy Prince
Rufus to…” Susan’s voice trailed off and she looked at me with pity.
“To what? To kill me?” My eyes widened. Susan nodded sadly.
“But I still don’t know how and where the plan will take place.”
“Maybe I should just run away now. I’m going to die anyway.” | grabbed Susan’s hand.
“I’m almost certain Richard will really create a stunt tomorrow. I refuse to be used by him, even if it means I’m going to die. It’s horrible!” novelbin
“Okay, calm down. Let’s figure something out. There are so many guards stationed outside. You won’t be able to escape successfully,” said Susan.
I stared at the closed window in a daze. “Even if I jump through the window?”
“Are you crazy? You’re on the fourth floor. What’s going to happen to the baby after you jump?” Susan scolded me in a hushed tone. She was trying to snap me out of my daze. I closed my eyes.
“But what else could I do? If I don’t die today, I’ll die tomorrow anyway.” Susan sighed. “I’m really sorry.”
“It’s not your fault, Susan. You actually helped me a lot,” I murmured.
“Perhaps Prince Rufus won’t fall into his trap tomorrow,” Susan comforted me.
“Wait. You’re right.” An idea came to mind.
“As long as Rufus doesn’t fall into the trap, Richard’s plan – 141 C han won’t work. Why don’t we just warn Rufus about it? That way, I might have a chance at survival. If Richard’s big plan fails tomorrow, he certainly won’t be taking any action immediately after. That should give me enough ume to plan my escape.”
"But Lucy…” Susan seemed hesitant.
“If I try and wam Prince Rufus, how are we going to be sure that he’ll even believe me? More importantly, he’s already on his way to the army. There’s no way I’ll run into him.”
We were once again at a stalemate. I clenched my fists as I racked my brains, trying to connect something in my head. But I couldn’t figure out a way to get to Rufus.
“Doesn’t Prince Rufus have any lover?” Susan asked in confusion. Susan’s words brought Sylvia to my mind. That slave stayed by Rufus’ side for a long time. She was probably important to him.
Unlike us, she could get in touch with Rufus at any time. “Yes. Her name’s Sylvia You must go to the school immediately and tell her the news.”
As soon as I finished speaking, we heard Richard’s voice come from the outside
