“I noticed you always carried it with you. It’s quite worn. ng you wear it frequently. It must hold significant importance to you. I’ve held onto it, waiting for the right moment to return it.”
“However, I had to abruptly depart from Saeville the next day due to an urgent matter. When we crossed paths again, we were strangers.”
Freya accepted the black skull pendant with a word of thanks, then turned and left Sawyer.
He was correct, the pendant held immense significance for Freya, symbolizing an experience that weighed heavily on her psyche.
At the age of seven, her parents abruptly whisked her away to Mypos, claiming they were in search of an old man’s descendants to bring them home.
She found the idea intriguing. After all, her younger brother hadn’t been born yet, and she was often bored without any siblings.
They lodged in a Chinatown hotel. Her father was absent for an entire week, while her mother took her to various recreational spots.
A week later, her father returned, his face ashen, silent and seemingly in a foul mood.
The family purchased tickets for a luxury cruise back to Saeville. Her father seemed preoccupied during those days, and Freya didn’t dare to engage him. Her mother, on the other hand, enjoyed the company of a few ladies on the ship, indulging in beauty and fitness activities.
One day, out of sheer boredom, she snuck down to the lower deck to explore, only to discover a bound little boy in a corner cluttered with sundries.
The boy, a year or two older than her, was covered in wounds, his face smeared with blood. She couldn’t discern his features, only that the sight was horrifying.
At that time, she had just attended a lavish masquerade party with her mother on the top deck. She was dressed as an angel, in a princess gown and a flower fairy mask.
One was bound and discarded in a dark corner, his face bloodied, exuding an aura of death.
The other was akin to a cherub bathed in sunlight.
She didn’t know where she found the courage, but she wasn’t scared. She approached him, attempting to untie the ropes. She was so weak that she struggled to do so, but luckily, there were shards of broken porcelain nearby.
She painstakingly cut the rope, pushed the chocolate candy she was holding into his bloody hands, and urged him to follow her. She promised to inform her father and have him rescued.
However, the boy was in a daze, likely due to severe injuries. His eyes were obscured by blood, and he didn’t even open them to look at her.
With trembling hands, he pushed a black skull glass pendant into her hands, urging her to flee before she was caught.

the corner was empty, even the blood on the deck had been cleaned.

Everyone dismissed it as a child’s fabrication and mischief, even her father doubted her, causing Freya to burst into tears.
She kept the pendant all this while, a constant reminder of an unresolved issue in her heart, right?
Now, as she held it again, she felt an indescribable bitterness and sourness.
