The Medallion

Erica could not help but frown upon hearing his words. Obviously, she could sense that Elder Duke was not telling the truth.

Meanwhile, Duke scanned the crowd and noticed Sabina and Allen in the crowd. He stepped forward and asked in a rather surprised tone, "Is that Miss Sabina? Is she with Mr. Allen? Why, isn't this a surprise! If I may ask, what are you two doing here exactly?"

"It's none of your business. Don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong," Sabina snorted in annoyance.

"It is really licking today! Or perhaps, it is you who stole it?" the elder couldn't help but ask. At that moment, he couldn't control the words that came out of his mouth. The words slipped his tongue as his intuition had taken over. After all, he didn't buy the reasoning that Sabina's presence was mere coincidence.

"I don't care who took it, as long as you hand it over to me. Plus, I don't want to make things difficult for you. It's my job to stop you from taking it out of this cave, so you'd better appreciate this chance and do as I say," Erica announced severely as she talked to the crowd coldly.

"Well, it has to be them. What brings so many of them here today? Well, it doesn't matter anyway. We only got three people here, and it is clear who has the bigger chance," Sabina explained loudly, folding her arms across her chest and nodded at Duke and his followers.

"Don't sling mud at us, Miss Sabina. He who has a great nose thinks everybody is speaking of it. You took away the things and framed us!" Duke was almost red in fury upon hearing Sabina's accusation.

On the other hand, Erica was not able to tell who took it right when Sabina and the elder were blaming each other. After paying close attention and examining Sabina and her two other companions, Erica concluded that the man among them wasn't the one she was looking for. At that moment, she tried her best to recall the three portraits she saw. Without a doubt, she was certain that it was Sabina and another woman that she didn't know. But where was the third one?

After thinking for a while, Erica came to a decision. Soon after, she averted her gaze from Sabina and the elder, and said, "Since none of you is willing to give it back, then I just have to take you all back to the city, and ask the imperial preceptor to do his job."

And besides, they didn't take it, so they were not afraid at all to go back with them. At the same time, the elder believed that it was Sabina and her companions who took it. If they were taken back together, then the perpetrator would surely show up. By then, everything would be clear, and he wouldn't have to explain anymore. Naturally, if they really had the object with them, then they would not sit still and wait for death. The sanest decision would be to take the thing away first so that nobody would find it.
