Rufus' POV:
The scene on the crystal ball shocked me to my core.
I actually doubted Alina once, but Sylvia kept telling me that no matter how menacing a person was, they would never cross the bottom line of killing their own parents. She believed that Alina was no exception and that she wouldn't go as far as to murder her father. After all, Leonard had raised her, and he loved her so much.
But now, Alina's true colors were revealed. The cruel side of her personality had now been exposed to us.
Sylvia was too shocked to say anything, and her body trembled while she sobbed. I could tell that she was on the edge of losing control.
I held her tight in my arms, afraid that she would lose control and hurt herself.
The truth was too cruel, even for me. I never thought Alina would be so ruthless to the point that she was willing to murder her own father by stabbing his body multiple times with a dagger.
Even though she was weeping afterward, she probably did that because she was afraid of getting blamed.
At the end of the scene, Leonard stayed still on the ground, slowly dying of blood loss. Alina could have saved him, but she did nothing. She only watched Leonard slowly die until he breathed his last breath.
Just then, the crystal ball suddenly blew into tiny little pieces that scattered on the carpet, most likely because it couldn't bear Sylvia's uncontrollable power anymore.
Sylvia was trembling violently. I wanted to hold her closer, but she pushed me away and broke out of my arms.
Despite that, I reached out for her and pulled her close to me again although she was struggling to break free. "Sylvia, calm down. Let's find a way to get revenge on her."
But at that point, Sylvia couldn't hear me anymore. She kept murmuring to herself— vowing that she would kill Alina. Darkness brewed in her eyes, and her body felt a lot colder than before.
It began raining heavily outside again, and that was when she struggled violently to get out of my arms. Her voice got mixed with the sound of the pouring rain as she screamed at me, telling me to let her go.
I didn't exert too much strength while she was struggling because I was worried that she would get hurt. Thus, she eventually managed to break free from my hold.
