Lucy's POV:

Ever since Arron's kidnapping, Rufus had kept me locked up in the palace. Even Firman wasn't allowed to step foot outside.

But every day, a tutor would come to give Firman lessons.

As for Rosa, I didn't know what Rufus would do to her. I hadn't heard any news about her ever since the kidnapping.

During this period of time, I was like a frightened, caged bird. I was restless every day and could hardly sleep at night. Every time I'd manage to drift off, I'd have nightmares of drowning or Firman being killed.

I had been doing everything in my power to get information from outside, but Rufus seemed to have removed my people from office one by one.

Only me and Firman remained in this palace. We were alone and isolated from the outside world.

Even a child as young as Firman could tell that something was wrong. He grew more uneasy with each day that passed, and he always wanted me to hug him.

I felt terrible. I was the one who got my dear Firman into trouble. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't be in this miserable situation.
