Chapter 56: Naive
"What?" both asked simultaneously
Victor clenched his jaw and repeated his words "Gregory is planning on exchanging my sweet girl's soul to bring his mate back"
Blake's eyes diluted turning into slits "What does that mean Victor?"
Victor glared at him "I thought you were far intelligent from this Blake, I can't believe that out of all, you bought his story without examining the validity"
Blake closed his eyes "Speak clearly, don't twist your words"
Victor sighed "I came by this information by chance when my father was still alive, I heard that the 'sapphire of wish' did not belong entirely to the eagle tribe but to the whole bird clan in the past, a traitor from the eagle tribe took it and disappeared, after searching for hundred of years it became a legend and everyone forgot about it, It is indeed true that only the chosen one can make a wish from it. But Lyra's mother didn't die after making a wish instead her soul traveled inside the gem and Gregory is trying to exchange my sweet girl's soul to bring back her mate's soul"
He glanced at both of them "Do you realize now? That bastard was trying to trick you guys into believing his nonsense and then he would trap Lyra's soul inside it bringing his mate's soul outside"
Lucas staggered in his place and held his forehead "That wretched 'sapphire of wish' I'll destroy it to pieces once I get a hold of it"
Victor frowned "Thanks for that, my sweet girl is still alive even after being born as a stillborn baby"
Lucas sat on the nearby boulder and hit it in frustration, it was true, his Ly was alive and well because of that damn thing.
Victor strode towards him and patted his shoulder "Relax, the 'sapphire of wish' is not something that we should hate, it was never meant to grant wishes to anyone other than its master. It was originally called as 'Gem of protection' in the past, its duty is to protect and obey its master"
