“Mr. and Mrs. Clem, please, take a seat and relax,” Robin said kindly, helping Ambrose and Dahlia to their feet and guiding them to sit comfortably.

“Mr. Ramsey, 20 years ago, a noble from Draconia entrusted us with something important,” Ambrose began, his voice filled with the weight of past memories

“This noble came to our house the night before he left Qacalisle Island. He asked us to hold on to an item of great importance for him.”

Ambrose and Dahlia both turned to Kelsey and Luella, bowing respectfully. “Ms. Luella, Ms. Pierpoint, please excuse us for a moment, we need to speak with Mr. Ramsey in private.

“The noble specifically instructed us that no one should know about this–not even my daughter, Elodie.”

Robin nodded, signaling to Kelsey and Luella to leave and motioning for the guards to ensure no one approached during their conversation.

Once the room was clear, Ambrose carefully pulled out a small, oval bronze box from his coat pocket.

“Mr. Ramsey,” Ambrose said, his hands shaking slightly as he held the box, “the noble gave us this box the -night before his departure. He told us it contained the Emberleaf Fan.

“He asked us to keep it safe and promised that, when the time was right, he would return for it.

“And if he couldn’t come himself, someone else would come in his place.

“This person would be wearing an emerald pendant engraved with the words ‘Golden Dragon. We were told to hand the box over to him.

“We’ve been waiting for 20 years…”

་་

Ambrose’s voice faltered as he continued, “At that time, Sadie took the emerald pendant from Elodie, unaware that we had a second box with the Emberleaf Fan inside.

“The noble had told me that this box was even more critical than the fan, so I kept it safe, waiting for the day when he–or the person meant to claim it–would come for it.

“But no one ever did.

“Years went by, and I thought I’d never see the person who was supposed to take the box.

“Whenever someone from your country visited the island, I tried to approach them, hoping for a clue. I asked many times about the noble, but no one knew anything.

“Then, one day at Sadie’s house, I saw the emerald pendant you wear, Mr. Ramsey.

“It had the same ‘Golden Dragon‘ engraving.
