Sylvia's POV:
The second I found out their exact location, I rushed to that place without daring to stop.
But I was too late. I arrived at the scene and it was already chaotic. All the soldiers were writhing on the ground and wailing in agony. The giant statue that had stood proudly for over hundreds of years had fallen down. The guardrails that were supposed to maintain order were bent out of shape and deformed. To my horror, the grass was covered in pools of blood.
Seeing this chaos, my heart skipped a beat. I ran to the crowd to inquire about the situation. Fortunately, we didn't suffer any casualties. However, it wasn't just soldiers that got injured from the stampede. Many civilians were trampled on as well.
But from what I could see, there was no damage or injury that was irreparable.
I breathed a sigh of relief and proceeded to look for Rufus. However, no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't find him—not even Maya.
"Was Rufus arrested? If he gets caught, he's doomed. Richard won't let this opportunity to torture Rufus slide!" Yana voiced out her anxieties in my head, pacing back in forth restlessly.
"I don't think he was captured. Rufus is strong; I doubt ordinary soldiers would be able to defeat him. Besides, look at all those people on the ground. I think Rufus took advantage of the chaos and got away."
"But he's outnumbered! What if they all worked together to hurt him badly?"
"Don't say that. I know he's going to be fine. Yana, you have to calm down or else I won't be able to think straight. I'm already scared enough as it is."
Yana sighed but didn't say anything more. She seemed to realize that I was in a bad mood, so she just quietly accompanied me in my search for Rufus.
In a fit of panic, I helped up a soldier who still seemed to be aware of the situation. "What happened? Where is Prince Rufus?"
