Magnus took the brooch from Lewis, his fingers brushing over the intricate design as he examined it closely. The gem embedded within it caught the light, revealing its rare and captivating brilliance.
"I sensed the presence of a vampire in their house in Elmswood, Your Highness," Lewis explained, his voice measured but urgent. "Aubrey is involved in a conspiracy with someone, though I couldn't gather more details about this person. However, this brooch was discovered there."
Magnus's gaze remained fixed on the brooch. He noted the gem's rarity and the craftsmanship of the piece. With a contemplative nod, he closed his palm around the brooch.
"Hmm," Magnus mused, his voice laced with concern. "The gem used in this brooch is indeed quite rare. It might be a significant clue."
He shifted his attention back to Lewis, his eyes narrowing as he sought more information. "Tell me about the vampire aura you sensed. How would you describe its strength and presence?"
