"But I want some too..." Ryan Lu pouted, gazing longingly at Luna Lian.
Luna Lian replied, "Why don't you ask Adrian for a couple to try!"
Adrian immediately clutched the pouch, "No way!"
"My sister Luna made it!"
"She gave it to me, so it's mine now!" Adrian looked at Luna. "Isn't that right, Luna?"
Luna Lian smiled sweetly.
"Saint Maiden." Just then, Divine Attendant Ezra Cloud approached, looking troubled.
"Ezra," Lucia Lu said. "Is something wrong?"
"Saint Maiden... can't you take me with you to the barracks?"
"What's wrong? Did something happen to upset you?"
Ezra Cloud shook his head, his eyes filled with longing and dependence. "I just want to stay with you, Saint Maiden..."
When Sean Shaw arrived, this was the scene he saw.
Lucia Lu sat beneath a blooming crabapple tree. Her newly contracted Divine Attendant, Ezra Cloud, stood before her, gazing up at her with adoring admiration.
Sean walked over and sat down silently across from Lucia.
A man in red followed him in.
Lucia was genuinely surprised.
This man in red had an aura almost identical to Sean Shaw.
And he was very good-looking, too.
If it weren't for their different faces, she would have thought they were the same person.
Hey, Fifth Highness, who's the guy in red with you?" Ryan Lu pointed at the man in red and asked.
"My Divine Attendant, Skye Yun," Sean said.
Wow! I thought Ezra Cloud was good-looking, but compared to Skye Yun..." Ryan glanced at Ezra and grinned, trailing off.
Ezra didn't look pleased. He glanced at Skye Yun, then asked Lucia, "Saint Maiden, since Fifth Highness brought his Divine Attendant, can I go to the barracks with you?"
Lucia shook her head. "What kind of place is the Palace Guard Barracks? It's full of military secrets. Divine Attendants can't go there. Even Fifth Highness's attendant can't enter, right?"
Sean nodded.
Ezra looked disappointed.
"If you don't want to stay at the Guardian Drake Lord's Manor, you can return to the Lumina Realm. Our home is Peach Blossom Haven—it's a very beautiful place," Lucia said.
"I'd love to! If you ever need me, Saint Maiden, I'll be ready," Ezra said quickly. "But, Saint Maiden, could you give me a Messenger Charm?"
"Of course you should have one," Lucia suddenly remembered. "Oh, and I ought to give you some defensive artifacts, too."
She took out her storage pouch and emptied a pile of items onto the table.
"Pick two artifacts," Lucia said. "It's best to choose a weapon and a defensive immortal item."
"Wow!" Ezra exclaimed, eyes wide. "Saint Maiden, you have so many immortal items!"
Lucia smiled, "They're all gifts from others."
Some are from my parents.
Some are from relatives.
Some are from Qilin Divine Lord Soren Lann.
Ezra looked over and finally picked a Heavenly Blade as a weapon, then picked up a bracelet carved with magic talismans. "Are these two okay?" he asked.
Lucia looked a bit embarrassed and said, "Well... anything else is fine, but that bracelet was a gift from my Divine Mother..."
"Huh?" Ezra looked puzzled. "Why did your Divine Mother give you a man's bracelet?"
"Haha, Ezra, you don't know!" Ryan Lu laughed. "This bracelet is special—it's only passed down to the eldest daughter in the family, for her to give to her future husband!"
"Really?" Adrian Drake picked up the bracelet and examined it curiously. "The material's pretty ordinary, but the spell inscriptions on it are incredibly powerful!"
