Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince
Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 517

Sylvia’s POV:

Nicole woke me up.

After the conversation between me and Joi, the room lapsed into silence once more.

Joi had only showed any semblance of emotion when I mentioned Ashley, but she had remained silent most of the time.

She seemed to be very uncomfortable around strangers, even though I was the one who could bring her hope.

In order not to cause any more trouble, I retreated to the corner that was farthest away from Joi and stayed there.

I intended to sit here and wait until dawn. But the previous battle had consumed too much of my energy, so I unconsciously curled up by the wall and fell asleep.

When Nicole woke me up, I was in a daze. Only when I saw Joi sitting in the distance did I recall what had happened. Quickly, I straightened out my clothes and walked towards her.

Joi was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring out the window, just like when I first saw her.

Sunlight started to shine inside the window, making Joi’s skin look even paler.

“Joi…” I was hesitating, unsure as to what I should say.

She tore her gaze away from the window and looked at me calmly. “Your message has been sent out.”

“Thank you.” My throat was dry. I had no idea what else to say.

“The deal between us…” Joi’s voice trailed off.

I knew what she was trying to say, so I said in a hurry, “Don’t worry. I’ll do everything I can to rescue Ashley.”

“Thank you.”

Then she fell silent and looked out the window again.

“It’s time to go,” Nicole urged me.

I nodded. “Okay.”

Before leaving, I took one last look at Joi. She still stared out the window motionlessly, like a living dead.

Her heart must’ve gone out with Ashley.

After I walked out of the room with the housekeeper, I was met with darkness again.

I followed the housekeeper by listening to the sound of her light footsteps. However, it seemed that we didn’t take the same route as earlier.

“How long has she been locked up in the attic?” I couldn’t help but ask.

After a short pause, Nicole answered, “I can’t remember. Our life is the same every day. Time doesn’t mean anything to us anymore.”

“But the same doesn’t go for Ashley. She isn’t fine…”

I couldn’t help but say. When I talked about Ashley to Joi, I had tried my best to sugarcoat Ashley’s situation.

Nicole didn’t say anything for a while.

“I figured. But as long as she’s still alive, it’s okay.”

“I suppose so.” I didn’t say anything more and followed her quietly.

After walking in silence in the darkness for quite a while, we finally stopped at a wall.

I squinted, trying to see what Nicole was doing. But in the blink of an eye, the wall was opened again.

The exit led to the corridor on the fourth floor, but this time, we were at the opposite end.

It seemed that there were two ways to the attic.

I stood behind Nicole and peeked over her shoulder, trying to see how she closed the door. But she was so fast that I couldn’t see anything.

When she turned around, I quickly took a step back and touched my nose as if nothing had happened. I pretended to stare at the floor.

“Remember what I told you. Don’t let anyone know that you ever entered the attic,” Nicole said coldly. Without waiting for a response, she turned around and left.

The castle in the daytime was even quieter than usual.

I made my way across the corridor slowly.

The vampires must have fallen asleep by now, and Nicole had left.

Now was probably the best time to explore the castle. Perhaps I would replace something.
