Rufus' POV:

I had already been informed of the matter on the way here. Arron was missing. No wonder Crystal had made such a ruckus.

But I still couldn't control the anger I felt at her impulsiveness. Instead of first coming to me, she took her own people to create trouble in the imperial palace. Neither did she consider my feelings, nor did she take me seriously.

I'd thought that I would give her a severe dressing down when I saw her.

However, when I saw her pained eyes, my heart softened. I couldn't continue being angry with her, let alone blame her. I could see that she was anxious, but pretending to be strong. When she met my eyes, I was even overwhelmed by the impulse to wrap my arms around her.

Anyone who wants to leave must undergo a rigorous inspection. Don't allow anyone to take the kid outside. Go and probe everyone's whereabouts tonight and find witnesses. If anyone behaves suspiciously, bring them here, whether the person is a guard, an elder, or their family member." All the guards instantly left to carry out my orders,
