"Sir Maru," Malaya called out calmly. "I understand you have some circumstances going through now. But we too have something we need to do. Please tell us what is happening right now?"
"And one more thing, may I have that ring?" Malaya asked as she outstretched her right hand to Maru. "I do believe it has no use with you now and it might be also the one that causes all the things that happened before."
Maru looked at her with a conflicted gaze but then he just heaved a deep sigh. He then removed it and slowly reached it towards Malaya.
But as soon as the ring touched Malaya's hands. The ring started to glow vividly red again.
Rein winced when he felt like his illusion that he was being hammered.
"Milady!" But that was not the most trifling matter right now. Malaya was now being surrounded with dark smokes as the ring grew intensely red to her hands.
