Chapter 1039 The Royal Kindergarten
Crystal''s POV:
I was stunned.
Rufus’ presence already caught me off-guard, let alone his questioning. What was he even doing here at this time?
"I said, what were you doing in the forbidden forest?" Rufus stressed, his face turning colder. He gripped my shoulders to prevent me from running
away.
Embarrassed, I averted my gaze guiltily and stammered, "I... I was taking a walk and made a wrong turn and ended up here. Fortunately, I ran into
you. So can you help me get back home?”
"Is that so?" Rufus squinted at me inquisitively.
Flustered, I guiped nervously. "Y-yes."
"I see.” Rufus let me go and dropped the subject.
I found his behavior strange. Judging from how he had been treating me since I got here, he wouldn''t have given up until he got something out of me.
I stole a nce at him and found that he looked normal. as if he really believed what I said.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.
Did he... change?
Thank God.
"I''m here because of you," Rufus added emotionlessly.
Hearing this, I became alert again and asked cautiously, “How''d you know I was here?"
He cast a sidelong nce at me and snorted, "There''s nothing I don''t know here."
Feeling guiltier, I continued to ask, "So what else do
you know?" "You''d like to know that, wouldn''t you?” With eyebrows raised, Rufus chuckled
I nodded honestly. "Yes."
"Then let''s trade. I''ll tell you my secret in exchange for yours.” Rufus slipped his hands into his trouser pockets and looked at me with a casual smile.
I fell silent for a while and quickly gave up the idea of getting any information from him. “Forget it. What other secrets can I have? You already know
all my secrets."
Rufus sneered, "Really? I doubt it."
His strange smile sent a shiver down my spine. Nervous, I quickly changed the topic. "So what''s up? Why''d you want to see me?"
“It''s about Beryl," Rufus said frankly.
"Why? What''s wrong with Beryl?" I immediately worried that something bad might''ve happened to my daughter.

Rufus rolled his eyes. "That''s not what I meant.”
"Then what do you mean?" I asked impatiently, feeling both confused and annoyed.
"Beryl hasn''t regained all her memories yet, and you can''t leave the imperial pce either. So I arranged for Beryl to study in the royal kindergarten."
I frowned. "I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
Once Beryl entered the royal kindergarten, it would be even more difficult for her to leave in the future
She''d probably only willingly leave with me if she regained her memory, but judging from the current situation, the possibility was very slim.
"Why? Don''t worry. Nobody would dare to bully her. I''ll raise her as a real princess,”
Rufus said gently, his expression softening.
I had mixed feelings about this and didn''t know whether to refuse or agree. All things aside, Beryl would definitely benefit a lot from studying in the
royal kindergarten
"Also, there are still some vacancies for teachers in the kindergarten. Would you like to one, at least temporarily?" Rufus offered

"Okay, I''m in.”
Rufus nodded. Smiling slightly, he added, "Arron can also go there.”
"I''ll need to ask him if he wants to. But I doubt it. Arron''s a little shy." I refused Rufus vaguely.
Rufus didn''t insist. "In that case, let''s go to the royal kindergarten to get you acquainted with the environment."
