Isobel suddenly pulled out a small wooden box from her bag. She presented it like a treasure, placing it in front of Emilia: “Auntie, this is a gift I prepared for you on our first meeting. I hope you’ll like it.” Emilia opened the box to find a neatly arranged box of incense inside. The scent of agarwood was subtle yet profound, refreshing and invigorating, instantly clearing the mind.

I could already smell its bitter smell even from afar. It was the sharp and bitter scent of Saverna leaves. "Alpha." Vince called before giving it to me. I stood up from behind the desk.

As for the ones with flower images, I set them aside. They would make me nauseous for sure. My choice fell on the ones with a lot of Eucalyptus and Ginger.

The material seemed to shimmer under the ceremonial lighting, but what caught my attention was the distinctive scent emanating from it. "Your robe," I said, unable to hide my surprise. "The healing potion it's been soaked in – that's one of my formulations from the Inter-Pack Healing Council last year." Yvette's eyes lit up with delight. "You recognized it! Yes, it's a recent import to the territory. I was absolutely enchanted by the aroma." She leaned closer, lowering her voice confidentially.

I cannot withdraw my eyes away from his hands. They pulled out a bundle of wood sticks, uh kind of it seemed like chopsticks that he took out with a match box. "These are incense sticks imported from India. Its fragrance can turn you on lol, badly."
