Chapter 294.2
Eugene finished reading the letter and hummed. The goal was clear and simple, there was no room for her to wonder what it could have meant. When she looked away from the letter, she turned to Kasser who was watching her intently. She handed him the letter for him to read.
As he looked at the letter, she took the pendant and studied it. He glanced between her and the letter in confusion. “Do you want me to get rid of it?”
“Not yet,” Eugene said, her still on the pendant. “Read it.”
Kasser was even more confused. It was clear that the letter was made to be kept a secret. The fact that the Muen family had taken enough lengths to make sure only Eugene read it made him wonder if he was supposed to even know of its existence. Still, she wanted him to read it and Kasser couldn’t help the pride that grew in him when he realized that she trusted him with a secret such as this.
While he read, Eugene worked on the pendant just as she had been instructed to in the letter.
Turn it twice to the right, thrice to the left, then press it.
The bottom of the pendant popped out.
Oh? she thought. Is this it?
At the bottom of the pendant was a small clear thing. As she swung the pendant left and right, the clear item swayed as well. It was like glue and water all at once. She kept the pendant in her left hand and started to lift her right index finger to touch the thing, but her wrist was grabbed before she could touch it.
