"Don't bring it up to me, I don't want to hear it, Cardman City and the surrounding areas are your territories. Whatever you want to do with them is your business, I don't care about these things.
Since I'm to act the part of a puppet, I should look the part. I shouldn't interfere too much, so as not to threaten your authority and end up being discarded by you just like Salockdale, and being sent into eternal silence.
But, your timing is just right. There's something I have to give you."
Cui Si turned around and took something from her alchemy table and handed it to Murphy. The object had an irregular outline.
It was a Fragment of Desire.
This surprised Murphy, who looked at her and asked,
"Isn't this the proof of your archduchy? Why are you giving it to me?"
"It's for you to keep safe! There's not much point in its being here with me. But if you can learn to use the real power of the Fragment of Desire, it can be of great help to your future endeavours."
