Chapter 78: The Fang And Blade Sigil

"Lucien...?"

"Hey, Lulu!"

Lucien opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was the brown color of earth.

"..."

"Lulu!"

The second thing he saw was his twin sister, pale from fright.

Annalynne dragged her elder brother up to a sitting position and wiped the dirt off his body.

"Mom and I are so worried. How did you end up passing out in the garden?"

Lucien rubbed at his eyes. "I did not pass out. I fell asleep."

"Oh fine. Fell asleep it is. But then you really should not be sleeping outside. Mom wants you to breathe some fresh air and not sleep."

"I do breathe while I sleep, Anna."

Annalynne pursed her lips. "You know what I meant!"

Of course he did, but he could not help it. Something slid off his body when he stood up. Lucien's eyes were drawn to a heap of white garment that lay on the ground. He picked it up and observed it.
