Sylvia's POV:
Upon hearing Rufus' words, I pouted and looked at him gloomily. "You can always see through me."
Rufus cupped my face in both hands and pecked me on the lips. "Is it because of Leonard?"
I didn't say anything. I just nodded with righteous indignation. But when I suddenly thought of Leonard's words, I knew he made sense. So I shook my head dejectedly. "Not really. It's mostly because of myself."
"Tell me about it." Rufus wrapped his arms around my waist and let me sit on his lap.
I briefly told Rufus everything that happened. But after listening to me, he flicked me on the forehead with a long face.
"Leonard is right. You deserve to be penalized."
I covered my forehead and looked at Rufus in confusion. "But why? I don't understand."
My experiences from my childhood to adulthood taught me not to lose. Because if I did, I would be ridiculed, bullied, and humiliated by others. I could only gain respect from others and continue to survive if I won.
Rufus stared at me for a while and said, "Come with me. I'll take you to a place."
I was confused, but I still followed him until we arrived at a magnificent manor.
It was in a remote place, and I didn't see anyone along the way. Only soldiers were guarding the entrance.
I only found out that we were at the cemetery of martyrs when we entered the gate. No wonder I didn't see anyone here.
The neatly arranged white tombstones turned slightly yellow after being baptized by wind and rain. And the wildflowers and weeds on both sides were growing messily, some of which had covered the stairs.
My heart sank, but I still followed Rufus until he stopped in front of a tombstone.
