Chương 185: Another King

"This stone," Yllana took out the stone that she hid inside her inner cheek. It was a good thing that Lucien did not feel it and made her swallow it. But then as she felt relieved, she remembered Lucien kissed her. 

'Wait. I can remember.'

Yllana froze. The memories rushed back to her. Lucien hid his face from the crowd. A tear crept on his cheek before he kissed her. But not before biting his tongue to bleed…and then he.kissed.her.

Yllana pursed her lips. She shook her head to dispel her weird thoughts.

"This stone, someone gave it to me. No, someone actually hit me with it, but it protected me earlier. Do you know anything about this stone?"

Benu took it from her. As he scrutinized the grey pebble she gave him, he heard her asking his real name if he could remember it. "Just call me as Elder Nua had given. This stone is not from this kingdom. I think it belongs to the West."
