Crystal's POV:
The more I noticed how similar Arron's face was to Rufus', the more helpless I felt. And while I was immersed in that thought, there was a sudden soft knock at the door.
With my brows slightly furrowed, I went to open the door, wondering who would come.
As soon as I opened the door, I caught Flora outside, looking around vigilantly.
In a delighted surprise, I quickly pulled her inside and asked, "How did you know I'm here?"
Flora removed the scarf covering her face and said in a low voice, "I noticed Rufus' car and followed it here." Not long after you left the palace, I learned that Rufus knew you had escaped and went to catch you. We were freaked out at that time. So we took turns to keep an eye on the palace gate, in hopes of getting some updates. Coincidentally, I saw Rufus' car, so I followed it here."
I felt guilty and said, "Sorry for making your efforts in vain."
Flora glared at me and pulled me to sit on the sofa, "Don't say that. Tell me what happened? Why did Rufus change your residence?"
I pursed my lips and said with a little grievance, "He accused me of illegally possessing arms and stopped me at the airport for investigation. He won't allow me to go back to the border pack until he is done with the investigation."
Flora's eyes widened in disbelief as she exclaimed, "Wow! He deliberately set you up?! How shameless
he was!"
I sniffed and felt extremely indignant, "Exactly! What's worse is that I couldn't defeat him in a fight! After five years, I thought I'd be past the rookie stage. But I didn't expect I'd still be so powerless and no match against Rufus."
With her mouth wide open in surprise, Flora asked, "Did... Did you two fight?"
