Rufus would never call me during training sessions unless there was an emergency.

I ran to the training ground as fast as I could and saw Rufus He was wearing his military uniform. It seemed like he had just come from the training as well.

"What happened?" I asked, gasping for breath.

Rufus wiped the sweat on my forehead and looked at me. "Lena has been exempted from a death sentence because of her meritorious testimony."

"But they have exiled her. She will have to remain at the border and never return." Rufus eyed me with concern. "She is leaving the royal palace now. Lena wants to see you for one last time." "Why does she want to see me?" I bit my lip, not knowing what to do.
