Chapter 231: The Disappearing Witch

Rufus’ POV

After leaving my mother’s palace, I went directly to a meeting.
But at noon, I made time to go to the army to see Blair. He had no classes in the afternoon, so he
planned to lead the soldiers in their afternoon training. “Looking at your unhappy face, I can say that
things didn’t go well. Am I right?” Blair hit the nail on the head. He then walked to the fridge, took out two
cans of beer, and handed one to me. “Tell me what happened.”
I pinched my glabella wearily and said, “Someone has served as scapegoat.”
Blair clicked his tongue. “Tsk. I knew it. Her maid, right?”

“Yeah.” As I answered, I opened the can of beer and clinked cans with him. “That maid has been with her
since she was a child. And my mother executed that maid.”
“It must be hard on Alina.” Blair sighed, took a sip of his beer, and added, “Didn’t she plead for mercy?”
“Of course, she wouldn’t dare!” I said sarcastically. “She even played along with my mother.” “Your
mother is so clever. Didn’t she see through Alina’s trick?” Blair seemed a little shocked. “I thought Alina
and her maid would be punished together.”
“I don’t know if my mother saw through her or not.” I put down the beer, took out a cigarette, and played
with my lighter. “But I have to find a reason to send Alina out of the palace. Judging from my mother’s
attitude, I think she intends to keep Alina here.”
“You know what? I’m really curious. What has your mother seen in Alina that she likes Alina so much?
The first time I saw Alina, I already felt that she was a scheming she-wolf. Is it because she is so
obedient to your mother that your mother likes her? But she’s just pretending.” Blair looked puzzled.
I sneered coldly, “No matter how much my mother likes Alina, she can’t stay.”
“But if you kick Alina out of the palace for no reason, your mother will be angry. How about you wait and
see what happens next? Just be more cautious during this time. Now that her maid was executed, I think
Alina will restrain herself. She won’t play any trick for the time being,” Blair said.



“Okay,” I said with a nod and lit the cigarette. “I’ll figure something out.”
“By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you,” Blair said in a serious tone, pulling a long face. “I
sent my men to look for that witch, but I haven’t got any news yet. The witch race is mysterious. They
usually disguise themselves as ordinary people and hide in different places. Looking for that witch is
tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.”
Blair was one of the few werewolves who knew my secret. He had never given up on helping me find a
way to remove my curse. But after so many years, we hadn’t found any clues yet. We didn’t even know if
that witch was still alive or dead now.
I smiled nonchalantly. “It doesn’t matter anymore. I now have the most important person in my life. I don’t
care whether the curse can be removed or not. All I want to do now is to protect my beloved
Blair patted me on the shoulder and said, “Thank goodness you finally admit it. Didn’t you say you just
admire her? Actually, you were so serious at that time when you said it that I almost wanted to give you a
punch to sober you up.” “Well, I didn’t expect it either. Maybe it’s fate.” I took a drag on my cigarette and
exhaled the smoke slowly. “Fortunately, I met Sylvia. Otherwise, I don’t know how I will end up.” Thinking
of Sylvia made my heart skip a beat. “It’s a pity that Sylvia doesn’t have a sister.” Blair shook his head
regretfully. “If only she does, it would be great.” “And what do you mean by that?” I kicked him angrily.
“Don’t you dare try to covet Sylvia. Otherwise, I won’t let you go even though we are friends.”
