“What is this?” Ethan looked at the object in his hand that looked like a compass.
“A compass,” Lyle answered.
“I know it’s a compass. I mean, what can this compass do?”
“Make a guess.”
Ethan scratched his head helplessly. Lyle really liked to make people make guesses. In the end, he decided to humor the Founder of Eques Manor and gave him an answer.
“It’s a compass that points to whatever I want the most,” Ethan answered.
“What’s this? You suddenly think you’re some kind of pirate or something?” Lyle chuckled. “You think that compass points to treasures? Well, sorry to disappoint you, but you’re way off the mark.”
Ethan was very tempted to smack the chubby boy who was making faces at him for giving the wrong answer.
“Then, what is it?” Ethan inquired. “Where does this compass point to?”
Lyle chuckled and spun around Ethan thrice as if he was about to play some kind of prank on him.
