Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2167

The dragon scale carrying Lucan's memories was the final gift he'd left for Elowen.

In the dreamscape, he'd recorded everything from how they first met to how domineering she was when she kidnapped him, and every moment they'd shared over the years.

In the last flicker of his fading divine soul, he didn't look at anyone else, only at the snow-white fox furs he'd collected strand by strand, which he'd always kept close.

In the end, he said something he'd never told her before.

"Dragons are said to love gold and jewels above all else. You are no treasure, yet you're the only thing I've ever cherished.

"But forgive me… From now on, I can no longer stay by your side."

The dreamscape dissolved as the light in Lucan's eyes faded, and tears began to fall from Elowen's eyes.

Ten-Tailed Elythunes were born through the Divine Power. They knew nothing about love or sorrow, but all the joy, anger, and grief Elowen had felt came from Lucan.

Even now, she was crying for him.

Tears streamed down her face as she allowed Shannon to hold her tightly in her arms. Shrouded in that familiar golden light, she wept like a child.

He was her dragon, the one she'd always protected.

To lose him in just a moment of inattention, how could she not grieve? How could she possibly accept it?

…

At some point, the overwhelming power of the Ten-Tailed Elythune had quietly faded. The lingering grudge around Elowen dissipated.

She returned to Lucan's side and gently brushed her fingertips across his closed eyelids as her lashes trembled slightly.
