Doris seemed to have guessed what Catherine was pointing at and waited in silence. As expected, Catherine unbuckled her girdle, took off the Sea Emperor Crown hanging on her waistband, and held it in both hands before Doris.
"This is the Sea Emperor Crown that belongs to Lord Caleto, which was retrieved during the mission," Catherine said solemnly. "Unfortunately, it was not handy in the mission. The Storm God Temple should have it back. It belongs to you."
Doris nodded, took the crown in both hands, lifted it to her eyes for a look, and said with a sigh of relief: "No wonder Matthew told me that you have not used it. That is the reason."
"Huh?" Catherine asked in confusion, "What reason? Is there a problem?"
"It's broken," Pannis said behind Catherine, "It lost all the functions of being a crown long ago."
"Broken?" All the girls stared at Pannis with eyes as if they had seen a ghost, apparently depressed by the additional guilt they felt: "How do you know it's broken?"
