However, Quintella gasped when he passed beside her. "What a beautiful book! It sparkles so much. Can I have it?"
Without waiting for an answer, she opened the window to let natural light illuminate the grimoire, exclaiming that the cover looked like a twilight sky filled with shimmering stars.
He opened it for her, only for her to stutter as she read, "The Incredible Adventures of Cordelia. A heroine! You definitely have to give me this book."
"I'll keep it safe until your reading skills improve." He patted her head, realising that the grimoire shared the same feature as Kwame's—the contents changed depending on who opened it. Unless Haldris held it personally, he should be safe from suspicion, and that made his smile broaden.
