"I picked this up to remind myself of that incident—Of the weight of my status." Deon weakly smiled as he held up the oddly-shaped stone.
Silence engulfed the secret basement.
For the first time since they met, Mikael didn't know what to say to the depressed young lad. He thought Deon's life had always been bright and cheery as reflected by his clear Karmic aura. But to think that the prince had such a terrible memory came as a huge surprise to the ghost.
To alleviate the gloomy atmosphere, Mikael tried to shift the conversation topic,
"Uhmm…. So, about the egg…"
Mikael urged the boy to take out the dragon egg from the space ring and a pouting Deon activated the ring and brought out the massive dragon egg.
However, something about its size looked different.
"Hmm? Is it just me or did the egg get smaller?" Mikael commented as he circled the visibly shrunken egg.
