237: A visit to the royal palace again[pt1]
“My lord, Lady Rui Abstle sent you apology gifts, hoping that you would forgive what she and her companion did to you during the last meeting.”
Yohan’s unsettling smile was back on his face and he held a small body in front of Zadkiel. It was small and thin enough to be nothing but useless jewelry. And yet Zadkiel chose to reach out and take the gift.
He wanted to believe that Yohan Strout would be foolish enough to gift him mere pearls as a gift. And with that faith in his mind, Zadkiel closed his hand around the gift box.
It felt heavier than he expected it to feel. There was no necklace this small that would weigh this much. Unless it was a cursed artifact, this box should not be heavy at all.
“You are playing with fire by doing all this you know. One of these days, you will be burned badly by your arrogance. Is this a crushed artifact you brought into the royal palace?”
