Crystal's POV:

Rufus allowed me to enter his palace, but he kept me waiting for a long time. Gradually, I ran out of patience and had half a mind to break in when Rufus finally showed up.

And he didn't come along. There, hanging around his waist, was a little girl. It was my Beryl!

I was so excited and relieved that I reached out to hug my darling daughter, but unexpectedly, Rufus dodged me and even shouted at me.

I was stunned, but I didn't think too much. I still stretched my arms to hug Beryl.

To my surprise, the corners of Beryl's mouth drooped and her lower lip trembled. Then she burst into tears. She seemed to be very afraid of me.

Looking at Beryl, who had turned her face away from me and buried it in Rufus' shoulder, I was dumbfounded.
