Chapter 923 Unable to Escape

Crystal’s POV:

I smiled faintly and explained, “Laura’s actually a soft-hearted person when you get to know her. We’ve stayed in touch for all these years. Both she and Ethan have helped me a lot in secret so that I could gain a foothold in the border pack.”

“When they announced your sentencing five years ago, I opposed Laura in public and said a lot of harsh words. I think she’ll never want to see me again.” Smiling awkwardly, Harry scratched the back of his head.

“You were only trying to protect me back then. Laura wouldn’t take it to heart. In fact, the last time we talked, she told me about you and Joanna. She was very happy for you two.” I sighed and took Joanna’s hand. I locked eyes with her and asked seriously, “So when do you two plan to get married?”

For the first time, I saw Joanna blush. She averted her gaze and muttered, “Don’t know yet. It’s not the time to talk about it.”

“Very soon! Just wait and see,” Harry cut in, unable to contain his excitement.

Joanna shot him a glare, but she didn’t say anything. She really loved that goofball.

I chuckled. I felt happy for them. After so many years, Harry finally was about to start a family of his own.

Joanna pursed her lips and changed the subject.

“Anyway… Why’d you come here for the military parade? Aren’t you afraid that Rufus will recognize you?”

“I had to come.” I shrugged helplessly and told them about what Rufus had done to make me come this year. After hearing that, Harry burst into laughter. “Damn! Rufus is really good at this. He’s forcing you to surrender. Are you two playing a game of cat and mouse or—”

Joanna was also amused, but she hurried to clamp her palm over Harry’s mouth, preventing him from saying anything more.

“Cut the crap. Rufus has lost his memory. This isn’t a game,” she hissed.

Harry was f0rced to shut up. Unable to talk, he looked at Joanna with pitiful eyes.

I rubbed my temples and asked helplessly, “Have you interacted with Rufus at all over the past few years?”

“Yeah, over government affairs. But it was always just letters and official documents and things. Why? What’s wrong?” Joanna looked at me strangely. novelbin

“No, I just…” My voice trailed off falteringly. I didn’t know how to explain.

Finally free of Joanna’s grasp, Harry waved his hand and said, “I get it. Rufus has become more and more difficult to get along with over the past few years. Now, he’s stubborn and cruel. I dared to approach him before, but let’s just say I learned a hard lesson that day.” When he talked about Rufus, he looked especially scared, like a timid mouse facing a fierce cat.

I sighed. “I had a brief confrontation with Rufus not long after my arrival. It almost looked like he really wanted to get rid of me.”

“Not surprised. You’ve been managing the border pack in an orderly manner and even recruited the surrounding small packs. You have sold*iers, adequate military provisions, and public support. And you’ve been hiding in the border pack for years, refusing to come here to worship Rufus. Rufus is not a fool. He’s a scheming fox, so he’s definitely afraid of what you might be planning to do. That’s exactly how Geoffrey did before. Remember? Rufus is really sensitive. He has lost all his memories related to you, including the fiasco at the border as well as Geoffrey’s rebellion. But he still functions well as a leader of the country. He deserves to be the king.” Harry rubbed his chin and analyzed the situation aloud.

The more I heard, the colder my heart became. It seemed Rufus wouldn’t let me go unless I found a way to show my loyalty to him.

Joanna patted my back and comforted me softly. “Don’t worry. As long as you don’t openly offend the crown, Rufus can’t do anything to you.”

I nodded. It was useless to overthink things now. I could only play things by ear.

All of a sudden, a slight gr0@n came from the sickbed. I quickly stood up and went to check.
