Rufus' POV:

After Flora and Joanna left, I remained quietly on the throne for a while, thinking about our conversations from earlier. Then, I asked a subordinate beside me, "What do you think of their stories?" As for me, I didn't buy a single word of it. Actually, both their accounts were consistent, but they were pretty far-fetched.

Joanna was brought up by Noreen and was trained as a killer since she was a child.

She would never do such a stupid thing.
