What the hell?!
So the key was in my hand the whole time?!
Well, it was in Natha's hand, to be exact, but still!
Instead of checking the magical puzzle scroll, I went to bury my face in my hands. "Oh, Mother! Thank Gods I didn't throw these all away!"
Thank the High Lord and Ladies I didn't succumb to my immature thought of getting rid of Valmeier's possessions just because I didn't feel any attachment to them!
"It's not like you know," Natha stroked my shoulder in consolation. "Even Valmeier had no idea. Actually, it's kind of a miracle that the bracelet did not fall before the war, considering he had fought way before that."
I raised my head and looked at his gentle smile. Grasping his face, I kissed him hard in gratitude. "Thank you! Thank you for retrieving the stuff from my lodge!"
