Crystal's POV:

Rufus texted back with a question mark.

I was a little bit flushed with embarrassment. I felt like I acted too hastily. How shocked he must have been to read my message.

I hesitated for a while and didn't know how to explain. Rufus would definitely ask me why I insisted on the layout and owners of the palaces back then. There were too many things that I couldn't tell Rufus. What if he questioned me?

I regretted my recklessness and hesitated about whether I should call him and explain myself or not. But he didn't ask anything and promptly sent me what I wanted the next second. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Just then, Rufus called me. I hesitated for a while before answering it.

A deep and pleasant voice came from the other end of the line. His voice was steady as he said, "This is the best I can do for now. If you need a more detailed version of the document, you'll have to file an application tomorrow."

I replied immediately, "It's okay. This also works. Thank you for answering me despite the time."
