Chapter 835 - 847 What is the Purpose
Under the butler’s corpse’s hint, the group found another hidden compartment behind the statue of the hydra lizard, containing a large quantity of exquisite, valuable jewelry and accessories.
"This... this is mine!" As soon as Fran saw the items in the hidden compartment, she let out an angry scream, "Damn thief, how dare she?!"
"Uh..." It was Lancelot’s first time encountering such a situation, "They’re all yours?"
"I can prove it." Soveris, standing by, spoke up, "This ruby bracelet was a birthday gift for Her Highness on her fourteenth birthday, the gemstone can be removed, and at the bottom, there’s the Derrick family’s emblem; this pearl necklace was directly given to her by her grandmother, the Queen mentioned that she always wanted it when she was a child; and over there, that Scepter, it has a cover at the bottom, and if you open it, you’ll find Her Highness’s initials inside, which is proof of her graduation from Magic Academy; as for this Elven-style Diamond ring..."
Soveris choked up for a moment, seemingly reluctant to say more, while the expression on the zombie princess’s face had already softened considerably.
"...You gave it to me." Fran spoke softly, "Sorry, I lied to you back then, I didn’t actually throw it away."
"Even though it’s a hundred years late, I’m still very happy to know that." The elf showed a somewhat complicated smile, pulling out the necklace he had kept hidden around his neck, "See, I kept mine too..."
"...…" The zombie princess lowered her head, hiding the expression on her face.
"Since it originally belonged to you, you can take them." Lancelot spoke up in time, breaking the slightly delicate atmosphere, "The main objective of this trip is still that bone, these are just extra gains... Let’s get out of here quickly and deliver the bone to the Lord of the Dead as soon as possible."
"Uh... Soveris, please help me put them away for now. I don’t have anywhere to store things."
