Containing the golden treasure chest were sixteen, barely beating, golden hearts. These golden hearts were illuminating, albeit faintly, signifying that each one still possessed the vitality of life.
Azel and Hanna had the urge to ask whether this version of Princess Acana was gravely mistaken. However, considering that there was no merit in deceiving and that their Young Master would not dare to lie in terms of assigning them this simple mission through Mai's command, the two of them retracted the dangerous idea.
Instead, Azel queried in wonder:
"What... are these?"
"Your Young Master has given me a task to collect sixteen hearts of Angel-borne, which I've done according to his wishes."
With the influx of Explorers from a variety of races, there was no doubt that some Angel-borne had tried exploring the Tomb of Princess Acana since its discovery, with the hope of collecting treasures at the expense of risking one's life.
