The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story

Chapter 0334

Hours passed.

Many items were brought to Veronica. Everything from necklaces to teacups to feathers and books. With only a passing glance from her, each item was quickly dismissed.

The latest item, a stone found in an odd place in the hallway, was handed to Veronica.

“There’s no magic in this,” she said and handed it back to the guard who had delivered it. He slumped his shoulders as he left the room to return to his search.

Night turned to day and then night again. None of us slept.

When every inch of the bedroom had been searched, everyone moved out into the hallway and beyond. Last I’d heard, Nicholas was turning the entire palace upside down.

The doctor had been in and out. She’d administered more medicine, but nothing was working. Elva was growing weaker.

Just then, Nicholas burst through the door. In his hands was the dagger that had nearly taken my head off, the one Jane had thrown at me in the hallway. He walked to Veronica and

presented it.

She didn’t even pick it up. “I’m sorry.”

He deflated instantly, and I saw the heavy bags under his eyes. He hadn’t slept either, and

looked all the worse for it.

In the next moment, Julian burst into the room in the same manner as Nicholas had. In his hand was a bag of flour from the kitchen.

When I looked at it curiously, he said, “Maybe it was the cookies. But since she ate those, we have to go to the basics.”

“I’m not sure Jane would have an emotional attachment to flour,” Nicholas said.

“We’ve tried everything else,” Julian said. “Maybe it’s a fond childhood memory or something.”

“Bring it here,” Veronica said.

Julian did as she asked. She held the bag of flour and closed her eyes. We all held our breath. A moment later, she shook her head.

“I’m sorry,” she said.

“Da mn it,” Julian cursed.
