Rudy nodded seriously, that was what he was worried about. "What do we do? Are we supposed to just keep on waiting here? I don't want to stay here for a moment longer, I just want to go back to Golden Pills.”
Rudy was incredibly afraid. Back when Elder Simon did not allow them to head back, he felt troubled but was helpless about it. At that moment, Rudy did not think Phoenix Valley was such a good place, but it was not incredibly dangerous either.
Yet, Phoenix Valley had turned into a place filled with uncertainty in Rudy's mind. He did not know when he would get sucked into a whirlpool of danger and never be able to leave.
He was afraid that he would die without even knowing what happened to him. Rudy really wanted to leave that place. Even if he would never get resources as good as he would there for the rest of his life, that was fine as well. He just wanted to stay alive instead of feeling terrified and worrisome every day.
"I'm so lucky. If I had been the one sent to the courtyard alone that day, I'd be the one who's missing!"
Saying that made Rudy's tears threaten to fall. The fear in his heart had already completely consumed him. He felt absolutely miserable.
If Fane was not next to him, Rudy would already be
sobbing uncontrollably. Fane frowned as he looked at Rudy meaningfully.
He said, "Our living arrangements were not a matter of luck. It was already arranged to be so.
"Grayson was arranged to stay alone in the other courtyard because he would disappear. He did not disappear because he was arranged to stay in the other courtyard."
