Maximilian: [——Hah?]
Troubled by Altora's words, Maximilian could only let off a cringe on his face, knowing exactly that had happened.
It was yesterday when he had accidentally gone on his knees, lifting the ring towards Altora who arrived on the scene, witnessing his proposal-like position until she realized that Maximilian fell unconscious holding the ring.
Altora: [It's bound to my finger. I can somehow feel it.]
Maximilian: [It is, and you won't be able to take it off until you die.]
With a weakened smile, Maximilian knew what caused the ring to shrink and become bound to her.
That ring was an artifact made to protect someone. It was formerly a ring that would hold a single spell to be used immediately, and All-Purpose Ring, as everyone called it. However, after Grantt's father modified it, its purpose became one, which was to protect the wearer and alert the one who would activate it.
