Crystal's POV:
In the following two days since Rufus had left the imperial palace, nothing significant had happened. As for me, I only needed to go to the kindergarten in the morning. My son and I would then spend the rest of the day in our own palace, or go and pay Laura a visit.
Today, it snowed. Arron and I decided not to go out. Instead, we sat in front of the fireplace and ate roasted sweet potatoes.
"This is yummy. I'm sure Beryl will like it." Arron blew at his sweet potato.
"Mommy will send some to your sister and grandmother later," I said as I took a big bite of my own sweet potato, and then put another piece into my son's plate.
Just then, a knock came at the door.
I put the food down and put on my mask before going to open the door. Flora stood at my doorstep, along with the rest of the bunch. They each held big grocery bags.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, puzzled by their sudden visit.
"The parade is over. We are leaving soon." Flora put her bags down and took my hands. She rubbed them for a while before pulling me into a tight hug.
"You're leaving? Why don't you stay for a few more days?" I didn't want them to leave this soon. I had yet to spend some quality time with Flora and the others.
"There're a lot of things back at the pack waiting for us to deal with," Warren said. "I'm afraid we can't stay any longer."
"What about you two? Are you also leaving?" I looked at Joanna and Harry.
Harry nodded with a resigned expression. He leaned against Joanna's shoulder and said, "Yes. My father ordered me to be home by tomorrow, or he will freeze all my assets."
"I see. In that case, you should go."
Harry hadn't been with his pack in a long time. Martin had a short temper, so he should be running out of patience by now.
