Is this a fucking joke? Rael thought with furrowed brows, inspecting the weird, key-shaped item in his hands.
—Fragment of the Plague Lands Key (???)
Collect all 3 pieces to reveal its effects!
Rael cleared his throat and turned to Caedia, who hadn't noticed the item in his hands. "Hey, you did say the other empresses had gathered their keys, right?"
Caedia tilted her head. "Of course? The officials sent me a message a few days ago claiming the empresses gathered everything on their part. I'm the only one left... but didn't I already tell you that?"
"Yeah, don't worry, my memory isn't exactly shit," Rael said and pulled out the small key-shaped item. "It doesn't happen to look like this, does it?"
The moment Caedia saw it, she froze. "...Where did you get that?"
"I found it beside the pedestal. Convenient, right?" Rael chuckled. "But that also means that whoever messaged you lied."
