Lotus Pool

On their way to the palace, egg marks appeared on the foreheads of both Little Silver and Xie Qing King. It was very worrying.

Lake Viscount gained it, as well. 

Xie Qing King held up a mirror to examine himself. He kept looking at it, and with a dire expression, he said, "So d*mn ugly! The mark could at least be a flower or something. Having an egg on my head makes me look stupid."

Han Sen couldn't believe that was precisely what Xie Qing King was worrying about.

Little Silver was lying on Han Sen's shoulder, not having any particular sort of reaction.

With Captain Wood leading them, they had no trouble on their journey. The power of four Marquise had already scared off most of the xenogeneics nearby.

They didn't bother killing any lower class xenogeneics they saw along the way, as they were focused on reaching the Raven palace as soon as they could.
