Emmelyn shook her head "No, he didn't hurt ic scarf to revive Queen Mother"

"Oh really?" Mars was surprised to hear this fact "Why did he give it to you? Did he ask you for anything in return?"

E because I wanted to ask for his help I gave hie for his help Mrs Adler gave ave it to him"

"Oh you mean, the snake pendant?" This ti to revive the queen in exchange for a mere pendant?"

"Huh? Why did you say 'mere pendant'?" Emmelyn was confused "Didn't you say the pendant is very precious? It can work as an antidote for all kinds of poison and"

"No, I didn't mean to say it's not valuable, Your Majesty" Mrs Adler knitted her brows and thought deeply about the scarf "Usually, the rule incan only be traded if they have the same value Human lives and antidote for poison are not equal So, they couldn't be exchanged"

"Human lives?" E to "Whose lives?"

"Well can I see the scarf?" Mrs Adler asked again

Mars and E shook his head "I a such valuable artifacts everywhere"

"I understand" Mrs Adler bit her lip and tapped the table with her bony fingers "The thing is if the scarf contained ic that could be used to revive someone or to heal them from illnesses that could cause death that means, the artifact is so valuable that it is worth a life"

From Missrealitybites:

Ahahaha I know this sounds so intense that Raphael wanted one life in exchange for the scarf, but please know that he is a good man and he would cherish the life he would demand from Emmelyn 17 years later

Uff I can't wait to write about Harlow and Raphael I wish I can skip the parts where we see Ellena punished, Edgar married Clara, and Gewen ended up with Kira ahaha and just go straight to seventeen years later Sigh
