Apart from the few closest to her, almost no one knew that Catherine, as a knight, always carried a pendant with her. The knight always kept it close to her body, forever hidden under her scale armor, never to be seen by outsiders, and even Pannis had only glimpsed it occasionally, never taking a serious look at the necklace until now, when he had the chance to observe it closely.
The pendant was an ordinary piece of crystal, its only distinguishing feature being the sparse impurities, making it look clear and transparent; through the crystal, one could almost see objects on the other side. The crystal was a very regular hexahedron, resembling two identical triangular pyramids inverted onto each other, only the length of an index finger, its smooth color rendering the pendant small and cute. The pendant was set in a round frame, with a simple cord running through the top of the frame, normally used to hang around the girl's neck.
