Tase, Yong and I looked at each other, completely forgetting Peony was still in the room until then. Tase came closer to the bed before we all looked to Peony. After a long, awkward silence, Yong finally sighed.

"I trust you, Peony. Mainly because I know you have no interest in legends, but Aivi carries the Lotus Heart," Yong admitted. I trusted Peony too. Her temperament wasn't the type to covet an item to rule the three realms. Her eyes widened before she looked at me.

"It exists?" She asked, dumbfounded. I found myself nodding.

"But the problem is that it's Aivi's life force. If someone takes it from her, she'll die. We sealed it away when she was just a seed, but that trial would've demolished the seal and exposed the Lotus Heart scent. Everyone would immediately sense it," Yong explained.
