Chapter 490
The Elixir of Life.
He knew full well that this was the item that could save his life at least once. Even so, he didn’t feel the slightest hesitation in using it. The absence of regret surprised even Ian himself.
Granted, it was because Diana was being brought back to life, but even if she weren’t, he doubted he’d have felt any differently. At the very least, he could’ve told himself he’d done everything he could.
“I thought I was imagining it when I saw the golden light... but it really was the elixir bestowed by the Platinum Dragon,” Lucia breathed in awe.
Ian gave a slight shrug. “Mev and Nasser each have one, too. Guess they never mentioned it to you.”
“They didn’t tell me anything about when they met the Great One. They said there were things they couldn’t share. Not even with me.”
“Figures.”
Tight-lipped, the both of them.
Ian let out a quiet scoff. Then again, Nasser had been a purifier. Even if he was low-ranked, he’d once been a member of the Round Table—a secretive council. For someone like that, keeping secrets would’ve been second nature.
“Thank you, Sir Ian,” Lucia added softly.
Tears spilled from her eyes, not because she was crying, but because her lips had lifted into a smile.
Gently brushing Diana’s face, she added, “For using something so precious—for Diana’s sake.”
