Chapter 657 Someone With Countless Faces


    Sylvia''s POV:


    Carol and I both insisted on our respective opinions. We were in a stalemate, so ir took me to the


    guards to look at the surveince video.


    We meticulously watched the surveince 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?" ir 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 ck 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 wless. 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 ir.


    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 n? She had been pulling the strings and we still had no idea what she


    wanted and what we would end up with.


    When ir 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 pce as if someone was chasing after me.


    I felt somewhat better when I saw the familiar pce.


    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 nt 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 nt 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 toe out of the study when he saw me. He


    was wearing casual clothing while holding a pair of gold-rimmed sses 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 nting 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 nced 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!
