"A necklace?" Luna's eyes widened in surprise.
Merlin smiled and nodded slightly.
"Yes, a necklace. And it's no ordinary necklace—it's a legendary artifact."
He held it out for her to see.
The necklace was a fiery red, strikingly beautiful. Its pendant emitted a faint red glow when sunlight touched it.
At first glance, it looked like any ordinary necklace.
But Merlin knew better—this was a powerful legendary item.
He had earned it as a reward for completing a mission to slay 3,000 monsters attacking the city of Droswen.
By chance, the artifact he received wasn't a weapon, but this very necklace: the Sparkling Drop of Fire.
Its ability was extraordinary—it could save the life of its wearer.
Luna trembled as she gazed at it. Guilt welled up in her chest, and tears began to fall.
"Merlin, forgive me," she said, throwing herself into his arms. "I misunderstood you. I was selfish! If you want to punish me, go ahead. I don't mind, as long as you forgive me."
