Meriyaah's 2nd Item

"I see that you inherited Meriyaah's will," said Sebastian with his eyes on Evie.

Evie briefly looked over at Ren. His expression told her that he was shocked as well. Could it be that he didn't know about this?

Feeling her piercing stare, Ren returned her gaze and nodded, confirming her thoughts.

"Yes," Evie muttered. "Do you know her?"

Sebastian looked at the horizon for a second. It stopped raining when the Princess arrived, and hours had passed since then. The sky was gradually turning dark, signaling the beginning of the night's reign.

"Yes. She was the greatest enchantress that ever lived. We were comrades in battle and went through enough life and death to call ourselves friends."

Sebastian's obsidian dark eyes never strayed from Evie's face. "In fact, she even entrusted me with one of her treasures and asked me to give it to her predecessor rather than letting it rot in a random dungeon or cave."
