"Wow, you're so lucky! I wish I could—" Kanaru chuckled before patting the kid's head. However, when his hand touched the carton crown, he felt a strange yet faint energy pulsing from it. His eyes blinked, and for a second, he saw the king's black crown on the child's head instead.
Kanaru's eyes were special in a few ways. Aside from seeing through illusions, he could sense magic artifacts that didn't hide from others. That was why he could easily notice if Fenris was not wearing his crown. Right now, it was as if he could see inside the carton crown which concealed the real thing. Its energy was also reminiscent of the black crown's enticing gleam.
What was worse was that Aki dropped the twig sword and grabbed the crown as well. His smiling face suddenly changed into one that showed dread and discomfort. He then held the crown as he ducked and ran through the gap between Fenris and Kanaru. "I just remembered my mom needs me in the house!"
