Crystal's POV:
When I heard Laura, my temper flared.
I furiously punched the bench I was sitting on and said with gritted teeth, "Rufus has no memory of me. What's the point of Adela imitating me? She's just a pathetic imposter, and it won't work!"
Laura sighed and smiled helplessly, as if she was witnessing a child throwing a tantrum.
I stopped, scratched my nose, and looked away sheepishly. Every time I dealt with some matter related to Rufus, I couldn't stay calm and easily lost my cool. Laura must be laughing at me inwardly.
"I'm a little confused about one thing. When you arrived at the imperial palace, Adela was only thirteen. At that time, she must have been residing in her pack, and even if she was visiting the capital, she wouldn't have had an opportunity to encounter you. But now she can impersonate you. Not only did she perfectly imitate your appearance and behavior, but also the way you speak," Laura analyzed with furrowed eyebrows.
Another possibility instantly struck me, making my heart skip a beat. I turned to Laura and asked, "Do you mean to imply that someone is secretly helping Adela?"
With a nod, Laura answered, "Probably."
"Who?"
I was a little astonished. As soon as Adela entered the palace, someone helped her behind the scenes. I tried to recall the most obvious suspect, but my mind was muddled up. I couldn't figure out who had the reason to do this.
