Chapter 952 Exposed
Crystal's POV:
I was stunned. I turned around slowly and met the excited gaze of the elegant-looking she-wolf.
What... What the hell? It was Flora!
It had only been five years since the last time I saw her, yet she looked like a completely different person!
I didn't dare to make a sound. I hurried to put my hat back on and pretended not to know her.
"Wait! Sylvia, is that you?" Flora grabbed my sleeve and stared at my eyes searchingly.
Pretending to be calm, I shook off her hand and asked hoarsely, "Sylvia? Who's Sylvia? You've got the wrong person."
The potion that concealed my scent should've still been in effect. It was impossible for Flora to recognize me. She had to be bluffing.
I calmed myself down and said, "Excuse me. I have to go to the banquet."
Flora snorted and blocked my way. "Drop the act, Sylvia. Your voice gave you away. And besides me and the lycan king, only you would dare to curse Warren like that."
Then Flora scratched her chin and speculated, "Let me guess. You didn't recognize me just now and thought that Warren was cheating on me. That's why you were so angry and rushed up to scold Warren."
My heart leaped to my throat. Flora was so observant now. If I had known that, I wouldn't have been so impulsive just now. I should've confirmed my suspicions before taking action!
Wincing, I scolded myself inwardly for being such a fool. I should never have come to the imperial capital! It was so much safer to hide in the border pack. It had only been a few days since I came to the capital, and yet almost all the people who knew me recognized me.
I pushed my mask up to cover my face and tried to deepen my voice further. However, this only served to make Flora burst into laughter.
"Honey, stop! You're only making it more obvious! Now I'm 100% sure you're Sylvia." Flora smiled at Warren complacently.
Warren also smiled and said to me sheepishly, "In fact, I guessed as much when you grabbed my pass card at the palace gate, but I wasn't sure. And today, when you defended me during the military parade, I was sure that it was you. I just didn't think that you'd be exposed so soon."
I was stunned. I suddenly felt that I was such a terrible actor and a fool for thinking I had succeeded in disguising myself. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Fortunately, Rufus had lost his memory, or he would've exposed me at a glance. Fortunately, the potion still worked. It seemed that I had to leave the capital as soon as possible. If I stayed any longer, Rufus would find out sooner or later.
I sighed and finally dropped the act. "I really can't hide anything from you. It seems that my acting skills haven't improved in the past five years."
When I finally confirmed it, Flora burst into tears of joy. She threw her arms around me and cried, "Silly girl, how dare you say that! I haven't heard from you in five years! If I hadn't stopped you, would you have run away again?"
I hugged her back tightly and burst into tears. "I... I was thinking about contacting you in secret later."
"Bah! I know you're just trying to comfort me!" Flora pulled away slightly to shoot me a murderous glare. Although she was angry, she still gently pulled me to sit down next to her.
"Just now when you scolded Warren, not only he was stunned, but I was, too. I was wondering when I became a home-wrecker."
I smiled at her sheepishly. "You've changed too much. I thought Warren abandoned you and went for some noble girl."
"He wouldn't dare!" Flora shot Warren a flirtatious glare.
"I wouldn't," Warren said hurriedly, like a loyal dog.
At this moment, it felt as though we had returned to the time we were still students in the military school. Flora and Warren kept laughing and arguing, while I sat in the middle, trying to mediate...
