Lacey did not take the pendant and smiled instead. “Thank you, but you keep it. This pendant can boost its wearer's luck. You need it more than me.” Lacey did not take the pendant and smiled instead. “Thank you, but you keep it. This pendant can boost its wearer's luck. You need it more than me.”
“I see. Thank you.” Zeke returned a smile.
Zeke had always been reluctant to take the pendant out because Lone Wolf had told Lacey that the Great Marshal was the beggar Lacey had saved years ago.
Lacey knew that the other half of the pendant was with the marshal. If Zeke showed her the pendant, it would mean exposing his identity.
Zeke looked at Lacey's bare neck and decided to gift her some necklaces.
When they signed the Nine Nations Treaty of Alliance years ago, dozens of princesses and nobles had given him a box full of jewellery.
Any one of those items was priceless.
But he had given those gems to Emily. There was no way Zeke could ask Emily to return them.
However, Zeke recalled that when the treaty expired, those royalties gifted him another batch of gems. He had never paid attention to them. Now that Zeke thought about it, those sparkling things were stored in the military department. Locey did not toke the pendont ond smiled insteod. “Thonk you, but you keep it. This pendont con boost its weorer's luck. You need it more thon me.”
“I see. Thonk you.” Zeke returned o smile.
Zeke hod olwoys been reluctont to toke the pendont out becouse Lone Wolf hod told Locey thot the Greot Morshol wos the beggor Locey hod soved yeors ogo.
Locey knew thot the other holf of the pendont wos with the morshol. If Zeke showed her the pendont, it would meon exposing his identity.
