Aunt Dorothy checked everyone carefully to ensure no traces of witchcraft were on them. The butler began to call out names according to the list. When he read out a name, a familiar servant stepped out.

"Stacy!"

The short and sturdy servant raised her hand to signal. I recognized her at a glance as the servant who delivered the parcel and quickly stopped her.

Under Stacy\'s nervous and puzzled expression, she was taken to the pantry where I was.

"Miss Stacy, please don\'t be afraid. I want you to confirm if you were the one who sent me this parcel in the evening." I handed over the tattered delivery box.

Stacy took it carefully and looked at it for a long time before answering, "It was indeed a delivery I sent for you, Your Highness. But I couldn\'t confirm if it was this. I didn\'t look at it carefully then, and my impression of it is very vague."

"It\'s okay. Do you remember the courier who sent the package?"

"In fact, I didn\'t sign for this package personally. Karter, a butler, gave it to me and instructed me to deliver it to you personally."

"Karter?"

I looked at the manager beside me, but after carefully reading the staff list, he told me, "I don\'t remember a butler named Karter. This person isn\'t on the list either, Your Highness."

I suddenly remembered the person who had brought me to the monitoring room. His name tag said… What was it again?

"Do you remember Karter\'s face?" I asked Stacy.

She thought hard for a long time but answered blankly, "I can\'t remember clearly. He seems to be a rather young man."

The butler who took me to the surveillance room was a very young man. What was even stranger was that, like Stacy, I couldn\'t remember his appearance no matter what.

My heart sank bit by bit.

It was obvious that I had been tricked! This was all part of the plan of the butler named Karter. He made me think that the problem was Stacy and lured me away. Then, that damn courier took the opportunity to take Lily away!

But why Lily? Wasn\'t I more valuable to the Lily of the Valley as a hostage?

After checking the surveillance cameras of the entire nursing home, we finally found Karter in an inconspicuous corner. He seemed to be waiting there on purpose. He put down a white wind chime flower before the camera and left.

Calculating the time, he had probably already escaped.

I angrily punched the table - this was a clear provocation!

"Calm down, Yarin. Selma has already sent people to track them down." Aunt Dorothy stopped me and said, "Do you remember Lily saying that the gang leader who kidnapped her on Moonlight Festival was also a young man? This time was so similar to the last time. The police considered that it was very likely that it was the same person."

"In other words, Karter is also the mastermind behind the Moonlight Festival incident?"

"That\'s right. This explains why he came for Lily and not you. He was a man who appeared arrogant but was actually very cautious. If he kidnapped you, the entire werewolf pack would come out in full force. By then, the Lily of the Valley House would be in big trouble. However, if he kidnapped Lily, he would only provoke the Silver Moon Pack, and shehad already become the target of the Lily of the Valley."

What should I do? Praise the intelligence and rigor of the Lily of the Valley? I really wished that they were all idiots. They kidnapped me and then were torn to pieces by the werewolves. It was better than dragging innocent people into danger again and again!

I didn\'t think I could wait like this. Like last time, I must save Lily and make up for my negligence and mistakes. I must tell Lily I would never let her be in danger again.

So I told Aunt Dorothy, "I\'m going to accept the rune implant now and recover my strength."

Aunt Dorothy looked at me in disbelief. "Are you crazy? Child, the rune is only a half-finished product. It is still unstable. Once it is stripped from your body, you will be finished!"

"I know, but the premise is that it has to be stripped from me, right? Those who know this secret will not harm me, and those who are dangerous to me will not know this secret."

"But what if? Witchcraft is everywhere in a fight. What if they triggered the rune and caused it to dissipate? You will die!"

She was full of worry and disapproval. Those warm emotions enveloped me and made me more courageous.

"That might be possible, but isn\'t death everywhere? Even if I stayed here quietly, even if countless people were protecting me in the open and the dark, the criminals would still find the only loophole to get to me. If it weren\'t for Lily, I might have been the one who was kidnapped.

"This is my responsibility. I can\'t avoid it. I have to carry it out personally. If I run away, then my life will be over. I will always think of the day I turned around and left like a coward. I will never have the courage to take responsibility. I don\'t want to become like that. I won\'t change into that.

"I believe you, Aunt Dorothy. Please believe me too. I will be safe and sound. The Moon Goddess, she will bless me forever."
