Chapter 169

“Sara, these are the glasses for our Triad. Whenever the Triad drinks Asta, we use these glasses.” Sara picked up a glass and examined it with care, tracing the little globe behind the Tierest tree.

“These are beautiful. Did you pick them out together?”

Juraens blushed.

“I was twenty and thought I would bond soon. I should have waited to pick out our glasses with my Bonded, but I saw these and somehow I knew I had to have them. The design of the globe resembles Earth. Although I didn’t know Earth existed at that time. When the years went by and I didn’t bond I thought I was being punished by fate for my arrogance. I was overjoyed when I met Mark. That is why I call him Treasured. He and you are treasures I thought had passed me by.” A tear dripped down Juraens’ cheek. Sara took her thumb and wiped it away.

::We are here now, Beloved. We will always be here for you.:: To Juraens’ surprise, Sara nodded her head in assent.
