An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 2003

Unlike the joyful ambiance surrounding her, Grace wore a somber expression. She furrowed her brow, and her eyes revealed disappointment.

When she discovered that the Celestial Eye had picked up on something, excitement surged through her. She thought the Dracan essence would probably be hidden in the underwater palace.

However, after an extensive search, both inside and outside the palace, all she uncovered were intricate jewels and precious metals. There was no sign of the Dracan essence.

Despite putting in so much time and effort, it ended up being a wild goose chase. Grace found this outcome unacceptable.

She turned to Dustin, her expression shifting as a realization dawned. "Dustin, is the Celestial Eye detecting anything?"

He nodded in response. "Yes, and it's quite strong."

"These accompanying treasures, though valuable, don't appear to be extraordinary. What causes the Celestial Eye to react so strongly?" Grace asked.

She inspected the gold and silver treasures within the two bronze coffins multiple times.

Each item could provide a lifetime of comfort for an average person. However, in her perspective, these possessions seemed insufficient to elicit a strong response from the Celestial Eye.

Dustin glanced around, his confidence unwavering. "While these items alone might not scream extraordinary treasures, trust the Celestial Eye. It doesn't lie."

He added, "I believe there's something special hidden in this tomb. Let's search diligently and look for any clues."

"Alright, everyone, let's comb through the tomb meticulously and watch out for any hidden traps or mechanisms," Grace directed, gesturing with her hand.

The guards felt the allure of the treasures within the coffins, but they resisted the urge to give in to greed. Then, they began to conduct a meticulous search.
