The Lycan King's Fate Calling

Crystal's POV:

I was about to say something when I suddenly spotted three people wearing blue clown masks approaching us in the square.

I gently tugged on Rufus' sleeve, indicating for him to look in their direction.

I watched him in confusion and saw him take his mask off, revealing a painted face. He made theatrical movements while gesturing for me to observe the hat in his hand.

Then he put one hand in his hat and pulled out a scarf from it, followed by a rose and a flying pigeon.
