Blair knocked on the dormitory administrator room’s window and held up the passthat showed he was a teacher. “I’m looking for Carol Davis. Can you please call her downstairs? I have to talk to her about something.”
Recently, the school’s management became stricter than before. Those who didn’t live here weren’t allowed to enter the dormitory building unless they applied in advance.
The dormitory administrator was an old she-wolf with gray hair. She looked at Blair’s passcarefully with a magnifying glassbefore glancing my way. “What’s the matter? Carol’s not here. She’s outside.”
“Do you know where to find her?” Blair asked as he put his passaway and looked around.
“Maybe you can check the training grounds. All the senior students are doing drills there today,” The old she -wolf replied. She put down the magnifying glassand leisurely drank cola while she sat back on the rocking chair.
I talked to Blair and eventually decided to check out the training grounds. As soon as we turned around to leave, we heard a voice.
“Why are you looking for Carol?” The voice came from the other side. It belonged to a beautiful she- wolf who was holding a bucket of water.
“I have something to tell her. Do you know Carol?” I asked. The she-wolf was also wearing a uniform for seniors, so I figured she was either Carol’s classmate or her roommate.
The she-wolf put the bucket down and nodded. “I’m her roommate. She’s still sorting out the equipment, but she’ll be back soon.”
With that, Blair and I waited under the tree for a while until Carol finally came over.
“Carol! Over here!” her roommate called as she waved at her.
Carol walked over and gave me and Blair a confused look. She recognized Blair at a glance, so she asked, “Mr. Joshua? Why are you here?”
“I have something to ask you,” Blair said, giving me a hint that it was my cue.
I hurriedly came over to greet Carol. “Hey! We met in the library this afternoon. Do you remember me?”
I carefully observed her expression as I spoke. She seemed a little surprised and was looking at me like I was some kind of stranger.
“Have we met?” she asked.
“Yes. You gave me a letter,” I replied with a frown. I wanted to know why she was acting that way, but judging by the way she looked, I had a feeling she really didn’t know who I was.
“That’s impossible. I didn’t go to the library today. You probably mistook me for someone else.” Carol gave her roommate a bewildered look.
Her roommate stepped forward. “Carol has been training with me on the training grounds today. She has never been to the library. She didn’t even get out of military school.”
“No way…”
I couldn’t believe that two she-wolves could look exactly the same. The mole near this girl’s lips also looked exactly the same as the girl I met in the library.
“She’s telling the truth. My classmates can testify,” Carol said as she eyed me carefully and even showed me the video of their training. She took part in the whole process. She never left the training grounds at all.
Sylvia’s POV
Carol and I both insisted on our respective opinions. We were in a stalemate, so Blair took me to the guards to look at the surveillance video. We meticulously watched the surveillance video and sure enough, we didn’t see Carol get in or out of the school gate.
“Did you really mistake someone else as Carol?” Blair worriedly asked as he turned to look at me. “It doesn’t seem like Carol is lying.”
All kinds of thoughts raced through my mind as my face turned deathly pale. If Carol wasn’t the one who appeared in the library, then it had to be someone else. And the answer was obvious.
It was Noreen. She disguised herself as Carol. I remembered when Rufus told me that black witches were good at disguising themselves and hide among the crowd. I figured she must have disguised herself as Carol in the library this time around.
Noreen’s witchcraft was flawless. I couldn’t see a single mistake in her transformation even when we were talking face to face. It would be horrible if she could disguise as pretty much anyone without us noticing.
“Maybe I did make a mistake,” I trailed off as I absentmindedly walked out of the monitoring room with Blair.
Noreen acted faster than we thought. She probably sneaked into the imperial capital and hid among us a long time ago. We just didn’t notice it. What was Noreen’s plan? She had been pulling the strings and we still had no idea what she wanted and what we would end up with.
When Blair offered to escort me out of the school, I refused and simply left on my own in low spirits. On the way back, I began to panic. I kept suspecting each person who passed by me to be Noreen.
My heart raced as my body trembled. It didn’t take long for my anxiety to take over, and when it did, I sprinted all the way to the imperial palace as if someone was chasing after me.
I felt somewhat better when I saw the familiar palace.
When I arrived, I leaned against the edge of a corridor and breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the enemy was hiding in the dark, I couldn’t afford to be so passive anymore. Whether or not what the letter stated was true, I had to find a way to go to the Silver Moon Pack. The only clue I had right now was the letter.
While I was pondering on what to do, I noticed that the servants were pushing a cart full of flowers as they passed by me. Two guards were also walking behind them and were carrying a pear tree.
“Where are you going to plant these?” I asked them out of curiosity.
The garden was filled with all kinds of rare herbs and the pear tree was already so big. I didn’t think that they were going to plant it in the backyard, but I was wrong. The guards were smiling as they carried the pear tree to the backyard. The open space that had been paved with cobblestones had now turned into a small garden.
There was a clean, clear pool in the middle of the garden, which was suitable for swimming on hot days. Entwined vines were under the trees, as well as a swing that swayed in the wind.
My eyes widened when I noticed the swing. I had casually mentioned how nice it would be to have a swing of my own, but I didn’t expect that Rufus would take it seriously and arrange this for me. My heart melted at the sweet gesture. He was always so considerate.
I ran upstairs to look for Rufus. He was just about to come out of the study when he saw me. He was wearing casual clothing while holding a pair of gold-rimmed glasses that he had just taken off. His smile reached his eyes the moment he looked my way.
I jumped and happily wrapped my arms and legs around him while kissing his cheek. “I love that swing so much!”
“You already saw it?” Rufus asked with wide eyes.
I nodded. “Yes. They’re planting a pear tree.”
Rufus supported my bum with his hands as he walked to the bedroom. Then, he reached out for something from the shelf and handed it to me. When I glanced down at it, I noticed that it was an invitation card.
I gave him a bewildered look as I reluctantly took it. “What’s this?”
“The wedding invitation that Leonard sent me.”
When I opened it and read the contents of the card, my eyes widened in surprise.
Oh my God. Alina was getting married!
