Zarinvienne glanced at the dried-up body in front of her with a cold expression. She then frowned when she saw a shining gem rolling out of Lhun Marchand's pocket. It was an uncut piece of blue diamond which was way bigger than the Praeclarum Adamantino that was auctioned a few weeks ago. She was fascinated by its dazzling radiance. She picked up the blue diamond with an excited face.
"His lordship could use this for that thing."
She then left the room without glancing back at the dead body of Lhun Marchand. His corpse was already dried up beyond belief. It was like all the liquid inside his body was sucked dry and all that remained was a blackish skin and bones.

Cale inspected the blue diamond in his hands with a smile on his face. He then patted Zarinvienne's head softly while speaking in a joyous tone.
"Good job Zarinvienne."
