Adrian then looked at Aria, wondering whether she would believe his lie. But she showed no reaction, looking at him blankly.
'What? Did I say something wrong?' Adrian muttered inwardly.
"Ok, I can keep it for a while." After a moment, Aria nodded.
Adrian took a deep breath, feeling a mixture of relief and apprehension. He handed the silver egg to Aria carefully, ensuring it was secure in her hands. "Please be careful with it. It's very important."
Aria's gaze softened slightly as she accepted the egg. "I understand. Don't worry, I'll keep it safe."
"Oh, thank you." Adrian nodded. "I will take my leave then."
"Hmm. Good night." Aria replied, her tone neutral but polite.
"Good night to you as well."
