Many people who saw this man instinctively had a sense of déjà vu: had they seen him somewhere before? For Princess Rupert, the feeling was even stronger. Before she could speak, the man stepped forward, and the guard beside him was momentarily unsure whether to stop him.
Fortunately, he stopped halfway through the hall, raised his hand wearing a pair of gloves adorned with leather and iron rings on the wrist. He opened his hand, and the objects in his hand slipped to the ground with a 'clink' sound, and several silvery items rolled across the marble floor.
These were several rings, forged in pure silver, with specks of blood stains on the surfaces; beneath the blood patterns was a faint image of a closed eye.
Fang Hong recognized him.
