Zephyrion thought he'd heard wrong.
"…What?"
"You heard me." Garrick glanced at Lumi. "You can't see it, but there's a whole mess of runes coming out of her throat. They're doing something to her and causing this shit."
Zephyrion was speechless. An heir? Of all the things in the world, it was the last thing he expected.
Mostly because, to become an heir, one first had to find and bond with an inheritance. In all their years together, no such thing had ever happened.
He glanced at her. Her throat…
Was it related to her past?
In that case, why was it happening now?
Garrick seemed to read his thoughts and nodded knowingly.
"There are some inheritances that need their host to hit certain requirements before they wake up. Honestly, who the hell knows? The old monsters that make these things aren't exactly fond of leaving instructions behind. Did she advance recently?"
