"Medivh, I've advanced to Second-Rank Knight!"
A few days later, Audrey excitedly went to find Medivh, eager to share her joy at advancing.
Hearing Audrey call out, Medivh didn't turn around.
At that moment, he was holding a lit incense stick and paying his respects to the memorial tablets on the altar.
Audrey took a closer look. The two tablets bore the names of Medivh's parents. He was paying tribute to them.
Realizing what Medivh was doing, Audrey quickly put away her smile and solemnly bowed in tribute with him.
While Medivh was lost in memories of the past, Audrey didn't know what to do, so she awkwardly picked at an object on the table beside her.
"Ahem, I think there's dust on this."
After offering incense, Medivh turned around and saw Audrey picking at a jewelry box on the table. He paused and stared at her.
Noticing Medivh's attention on the object in her hands, Audrey quickly looked down at it and pretended to wipe away dust with her sleeve, concealing her embarrassment.
"This jewelry box was left behind by my mother. Before she died, she asked me to give it to my future wife."
The jewelry box had a story behind it. Medivh's mother had prepared it as a gift for the woman who would one day become her daughter-in-law.
He remembered the night his mother passed away. She had solemnly entrusted the box to him and asked him to pass it on.
His mother had hoped he would marry Audrey.
Back then, Medivh had been set on breaking off the engagement, so he hadn't paid much attention to the jewelry box. He had simply treated it as one of his mother's keepsakes and brought it with him when he left Loran City.
"Then can I open it?"
