บท 71: The Forgotten Lore

"You agreed to what?" Cecily might have misheard Lucian. But the way his down curved mouth remained plastered on his lips said that she didn't.

"I agreed to get her the lost jewel of Tethy's," Lucian replied, dragging each letter like he didn't want to repeat himself.

Rosa clutched her head. "Lucian, love. I know that you're the leader of this group, but how can you not consult me first about this before you made the Seal of Promise with that ugly pirate?"

Cecily didn't have time to pick on what Rosa said as she was stuck in their current predicament. 

Lucian paced towards the window and sighed. "We don't have any choice. It's either that or being a pirate slave."

Cecily folded her arms. "I'd rather take our chanced into the Nightmare Sea. We don't even know what this lost Jewel is."

"Well, with the number of pirates roaming the seas, I doubt we'll get to Imoana islets with our group still intact." Lucian was becoming annoyed as well.
