Sylvia's POV:
After I finished, I put my hood over my head to cover my face. Then, I went to say goodbye to Laura.
Laura was sitting in the hall, seemingly lost in thought. When she heard my footsteps, she looked at me and wearily said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. Now that everything is settled, it's time for me to go," I told her.
Laura stood up and slowly walked over to me. "The previous trial was mainly to lure Noreen into the trap. I didn't want to make it a big deal, so I put an end to the news. The packs outside the capital don't know about the trial, but the news of your death has already spread. Warren should know by now. Are you going to tell them the truth?"
"That doesn't matter. I've sent a letter to Warren and Flora yesterday. They'll receive it soon," I explained.
I felt guilty for them, so I decided to prepare a long handwritten letter, hoping that they would accept my apology.
"That's good." Laura sighed. Her expression was a little more complicated than before. "At least you need to explain the situation to them. Warren, Harry, and Flora treat you as their best friend. I'm sure they don't want you to die or become the sinner of the empire. You made a good choice by telling them the truth."
"I know. I was wrong at the beginning. I thought I could just cut ties with them and leave, but I realized doing that will only hurt them more. That was the first time Joanna cried in front of people. She had never been that emotional, not that I could recall. And I can't help but feel so guilty whenever I think about Harry's swollen eyes."

"There's no turning back now. Don't give yourself too much burden, okay? I'm sure they'll understand. You've already made plans for everyone. Now it's time for you to think about your future," Laura comforted me in a soft, gentle voice.
I nodded and embraced the sadness I felt. When I slowly calmed down, I smiled. "By the way, Noreen is dead now, but Blair is still under her influence. He should be able to slowly return to normal, though. Please remember to release him as soon as he fully recovers. What happened was probably hard for him. If he hadn't gone back to my pack to get the piece of evidence for me, he wouldn't have been cursed and suffered all this."
I didn't forget Blair. Even though he still had feelings for me, I believed that he would eventually move on. He was like an older brother to me, and I truly hoped that he could live a good life in the future. "Please explain everything to Blair for me. He's Rufus' best friend. I have no doubt he'll cooperate with our plan."
Laura nodded. "Don't worry; I'll have someone take care of him. After that, I'll release him and
explain everything."
I let out a grateful smile. "Thank you for everything. Without your help, this plan wouldn't have worked so smoothly. I'm sorry for making you a bad person. I know you're also in a dilemma."
It wasn't easy for Laura and Rufus to finally get along with each other, but now, she had to lie to him because of me.
