Tradition Part 1

As if in response to his thoughts, the pendant Elizabeth gave him started to vibrate, buzzing softly.

Reign looked at it and pressed the small button in the middle.

Immediately, a sound came from the pendant.

"Can you hear me?" Elizabeth's voice came through. 

"Yeah, I can hear you. What's the problem?" 

"What's the problem? I've been trying to contact you, but the pendant wasn't responding. Did you leave it somewhere?" Elizabeth's voice sounded both annoyed and relieved.

"Yes," he replied. 

"I forgot to mention—it only works if it's touching your skin." she explained. 

'Oh, so that's why,' he thought, piecing it together. 'But then, what about Anna? '

He turned to her, raising an eyebrow. "Where's your communication device?" 

Anna, still beaming and clinging to his arm, shrugged with a playful smile. "I left it somewhere at my mansion."
