—The Empresses would never do that!
—Yeah! That has to be a fake!
—It's definitely a fake! He must've forced Empress Caedia to cooperate with him!
A load of bullshit as per usual, Rael thought with a sigh. "It's the real deal, and I'm sure you also realize what this means, don't you?"
As he finished those words, he glanced at Caedia, who, with an exhausted look, pulled out the same item resembling a key.
Two fragments, which meant that there was only one left.
However, by now, the crowd had fallen silent.
Instead, a fierce-looking man wearing a white robe approached Rael, stopping just in front of him.
"May I take a look?" the man asked, and with slight cautiousness, Rael gently handed him the fragment.
The man inspected it for a few moments, his expression changing by the second.
And in the end, the man merely handed the fragment back to Rael and glanced toward the crowd.
