Inside the box was a precious jeweled necklace. It was Evely’s necklace that Rashta had supposedly picked up at the Southern Palace. Sovieshu had intended to give it to her earlier, but he was so busy with work that he had forgotten about it.

“Take a look at it.”

The court mage politely accepted the box handed over by Sovieshu with both hands.

The mage examined the necklace like a hungry dog while Sovieshu watched his gaze intently.

Eventually, the court mage’s complexion brightened.

“I don’t know if this is Evely’s necklace, but it certainly contains mana.”

“Take it away and ask Evely if it’s hers.”

“Yes.”

“In case it is hers, borrow it from her to study.”

“And if it’s not hers…”

Sovieshu remembered Rashta, who had asked him if he gave this necklace to Evely, and answered simply,

“Yes it is.”

He sounded confident. The court mage bowed to Sovieshu and left. Then went to Evely.

Evely anxiously awaited the mage’s return to his laboratory with his other assistants, and approached as soon as he entered.

“What did His Majesty say? Will he help me?”

“Here, look for yourself.”

The mage held out the box. Evely took it quickly and screamed at the sight of the necklace. She was so happy that she even stomped heavily on the floor, and asked,

“How did you get it so quickly?”

“It seems His Majesty had picked it up.”

“What? This?”

Why would the Emperor pick up a lost necklace in the Southern Palace? Evely found it strange, but didn’t ask the details. She imagined what had happened just by thinking about it a little, but she didn’t want to confirm this unpleasant fact.

“In any case, this is good, Evely. If this necklace really has restored your mana, then you can get the rest back!”

This was what really mattered now.

When the court mage exclaimed excitedly, Evely clenched her fist and nodded,

“Yes!”

“Other mages might as well get their mana back.”

Evely put her fist to her chest. Her heart was beating fast. She was very happy.

For a mage to lose mana was terribly painful and desperate. Evely knew this very well, so she wanted to be of help to mages in her same situation.

“I hope so.”

After these words from Evely, another court mage’s assistant, who had reached over to grab the necklace, suddenly cried out in pain.
