Felix was alone when he heard footsteps coming near him. He cautiously turned around. "Who is there?" he asked.
"It's me." Veronica stepped away from the tree and came to the view. She walked closer to him.
Felix's demeanor changed and he politely said, "Miss Veronica, you must be tired. Why are you here?"
Veronica replied, "There is something I wanted to do for you for helping me when I was a cat and saving us from the assassins." She reached out her hand and requested, "Can I have the locket you are wearing?"
"You mean Joana's locket?" Felix slightly hesitated.
Veronica smiled and assured him by saying, "I will just borrow it for a moment and give it to you right after that."
Felix stared at her for a while and then took off his locket. It was shining in the moonlight. Anyone could tell that he took great care of it.
