Alice stayed in Louis's room for a while longer and took the crimson Lover's Dream from him, raising the gem towards the window sill.
The light outside the window shone through the gem, flickering with an indescribable beauty.
"If I lost this thing, I wouldn't know how to explain it to my family."
Louis coughed.
He should have returned the crimson Lover's Dream to Alice earlier, but when he used the artifact to jump back to the ground that day, he simply forgot.
He never thought that this trip to the Shadow Country would confront him with something beyond legendary so early on.
Although he had dealt with a fair number of exemplars, the difference between them and something beyond that was still immense.
If it weren't for the help from the Black Swan, he wouldn't even know if he could successfully bring the little swan out from around the Shadow Country.
Plus, the huge side effects from using time stop twice in a row made him really put this matter out of his mind.
