Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown

Chapter 242

Tobias could feel his cheeks burning. "No, no, I really don't know the answer to this one."

"Alright then," the host replied, a hint of regret in his tone as he turned to Serena. "Serena, do you know?"

Serena glanced at the image on the screen and nodded slightly.

The host's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "You're familiar with cauldrons too? Well then, can you tell us which period this one is from?"

The host was clearly impressed. "That's exactly right-this is an early Iron Age cauldron, and in fact, there is an inscription inside."
