Lacey did not take the pendant and smiled instead. “Thank you, but you keep it. This pendant can boost
its wearer''s luck. You need it more than me.”
“I see. Thank you.” Zeke returned a smile.
Zeke had always been reluctant to take the pendant out because Lone Wolf had told Lacey that the
Great Marshal was the beggar Lacey had saved years ago.
Lacey knew that the other half of the pendant was with the marshal. If Zeke showed her the pendant, it
would mean exposing his identity.
Zeke looked at Lacey''s bare neck and decided to gift her some nes.
When they signed the Nine Nations Treaty of Alliance years ago, dozens of princesses and nobles had
given him a box full of jewellery.
Any one of those items was priceless.
But he had given those gems to Emily. There was no way Zeke could ask Emily to return them.
However, Zeke recalled that when the treaty expired, those royalties gifted him another batch of gems.
He had never paid attention to them. Now that Zeke thought about it, those sparkling things were stored
in the military department.
