Chapter 216: White? With this hair colour?
Honestly, after everything that had happened so far, Cass was a little disappointed with the fact that...the reward was the same.
It was the cloak of protection that they had gotten in the book. Cass couldn’t help the sinking feeling of disappointment that filled him. After getting those other weird items, he had kind of hoped that they would have gotten a different, more generally beneficial item that maybe everyone could use, not just Lady Ava, but, some things had to remain the same.
That was fine.
Cass turned away from the chest, knowing that the rest of the items would be money and coins, as well as a few gems that would be given to Vespertine because they would benefit him more, and Cass didn’t need them.
He was the best magic user they had in the party. The best mage. He didn’t need more buffs, especially after being able to show off in this room that he wasn’t incompetent, he could use the powers that Lord Blackburn had left him, he just needed an adjustment.
Cass was busy dusting himself off, not fully paying attention to the others so he hadn’t noticed how everyone had looked at him as soon as Lucian had identified the item. It was only when Lady Ava said his name that he froze.
"I think Cass should have it." Her words were quick, fast. Like she was saying them before anyone else could say something. Cass turned, his brows knitting in confusion as he stared at the rest of the party.
They were all looking at him.
Cass gulped, swallowing as he realised that they all felt this way, not just Lady Ava.
"I’m...fine. I don’t need a cloak." Cass said and Lucian’s expression shifted.
"Cassian, we just found out a secret about you. Who is to say that someone else might not know it already? With you training Lady Ava, and I can help, she’s going to be much stronger. She’s not the weakest physically in the party anymore." Cass felt his jaw drop.
