Meanwhile, in the imperial palace, Rufus held two letters. One on his right and one on the left. He kept darting his eyes from the letters from Samael... or so what he believed.
"Captain, is there something wrong?"
Rufus raised his head at Kristina, who was leaning on the shelves, arms crossed. Her long beautiful hair was now cut short like a man, and yet she still looked stunning. Although there was a huge scar on the side of her neck up to her jaw. Just like her, Rufus also had a huge scar across his cheek, which didn't bother him.
These scars on them and all the scars underneath their uniform all came from the war. Rufus had been active in the war since Samael's reign with Kristina. They only get to rest in recent years when Samael's power stabilized.
"It's strange," he pointed at while staring at the letters. "Why would His Majesty send two letters at the same time?"
