Chapter 167: Art Piece Part 2

As time ticked by, Reign drifted in and out of sleep, the minutes blending into hours. 

Suddenly, around 8:00 pm, the door to the private museum creaked open, its hinges groaning softly.

The sound stirred him from his sleep, his senses sharpening as he tried to see through the small hole he had created. He made sure it was small enough not to be noticed by the naked eye.

And thanks to the color of the egg, the moment his black eye-socket leaned on it, the hole seamlessly melded with its surface, as if it had always been a part of it 

In the distance, he saw someone approaching, but it wasn't the person he had been waiting for . 

'A woman?' he mused inwardly. 

He had expected meeting the governor, but the woman in front of him looked too young and feminine to be him.

Dressed in a white dress that wasn't overly formal but still managed to accentuate her long, soft legs, she approached the egg with a unhurried steps.
