Whipping in the direction of the sound, I saw a family silhouette approaching us.
“Thomas!” I gasped.
He was standing near the back. In his hand was a dagger with a shimmering blade and jewels in the handle. He held it over his head so that everyone would see clearly.
The design of the knife was elegant and distinct, and even for those who hadn’t seen it before, there was no doubt that the dagger was a powerful Goddess artifact!
Immediately, I thought of the last part of the artifact that Miss Mila had been trying to gather—the missing dagger.
“The Dagger of Mercy!” Thomas announced, and everyone turned their attention from me to him. It was so quiet that I could hear a pin drop.
I couldn’t believe that Thomas, after disappearing for months, suddenly showed up at my wedding, helping me out with the most difficult problem that I was facing. I had a million questions to ask him, but right now, in front of the crowd, I had to keep my composure.
