"Mistress Velvet, can we please take a step back for a moment? Entrusting such a big task to a mere child is…"
Bianca turned to Marcus, "Please be silent."
"Mistress Velvet, I apologize for the disrespect, but I cannot. This is completely ridiculous! What does this keepsake even prove? That young Ned here knew Elian Reed when he was only human? He is no longer a mere boy!"
Marcus glared at Elian with fierce eyes, "Elian Reed may have started as a young boy, but he has become a powerhouse comparable to the Big Three." He scoffed while crossing his arms, "He should grow up and use his strength for the betterment of humanity!"
Despite Marcus' passionate words, neither Bianca nor Elian react. Bianca in particular kept looking at only Ned, as if urging him to speak. But the young boy kept glancing at Marcus, waiting for his command.
After a few moments, Ned sighed and looked at Elian.
"This Crown was very important to Elian. It held a promise."
