Lucien's Choice

The door opened with a click and revealed Kinnon's somber expression.

"Can I come in?"

Lucien stepped aside and waved in the direction of the room.

"Go ahead."

As soon as Kinnon entered, his eyes darted around in search of a certain item. As soon as he found it, his eyes were stuck on the opened black box, and also the saber blade that had been pulled out of the handle. Kinnon slowly approached the blade and traced it with his fingers.

There was also the smell of something burning.

"Did Ronan pass you something?" he asked without looking at Lucien.

"Yes," Lucien confirmed.

"Ah."

Lucien burned it as soon as he finished reading it. What was it about? And what did it mean?

A lot of questions went through Kinnon's mind. He wanted to ask Lucien, but he did not want the latter to smell the jealousy on him.
