章節 84: Truth or Lies

Rune didn't answer immediately. He actually appeared thoughtful for a moment before speaking, "There's no particular reason. It's just... since my master talked about the jades right before his death, he was probably asking me to locate the bracelet. That's the only reason I started looking for it in the first place."

Grace studied him closely, trying to see just how much truth he was speaking. What really surpised her was how he had no filter on his face, he was an open book for her to read.

"What now then?" She found herself asking as she kept her gaze focused on his face. "Since you have found the bracelet, what are you going to do next?"

She noticed how his expression shifted at her question. He looked lost as he moved his gaze from her face to her hand that he still was holding.

After what seemed like several long minutes of silence, but was merely a couple of moments, he shook his head and looked up, once again fixing his gaze on her face.
