Having said all he had to say, Gaspar relaxed and sat down on the sofa again.
Without needing to be instructed, Neil brought a handkerchief soaked in water, which I placed on Gaspar’s forehead, and he exhaled pleasantly.
You’re going to be skinny already, ugh.
「Here, hold it tight and cool yourself down.」
「…Sorry.」
The reason why it’s a handkerchief and not a towel is because I gave Karie the towel that I had prepared for him along with the water bucket. The handkerchief probably belonged to Neil.
「As the owner said, just the other day a man ca into our store to sell a green athyst. He was accompanied by a gruff escort, and by all appearances, he wasn’t fit to hold such a rare and valuable gem. It was obvious at first glance that the product was suspicious, so I refused to buy anything whose source was unknown, but then he started to rage and one of the employees was injured…」
It occurs to that this was the reason for the shortage of people that Karie ntioned.
「”He politely left” that day, but it seems that he has taken up residence here in the downtown area, and we are very much troubled… Apparently there is so noble behind them.」
「So you are saying that the Countess Bauer is that noble?」
「It is very likely that the parts of this necklace are that green athyst. It would be sowhat unnatural for such a rare and valuable item to be different at this ti, wouldn’t it?」
「Well… it’s natural to assu that that green athyst is identical to the parts of the necklace.」
Ryniel-sama agrees with Neil’s opinion.
「How did the green athyst co from the hands of Countess Bauer to that man?」
.
If you are going to ask for restoration, it would be better to have all the parts available. It is a gemstone that is not easy to obtain.
「It’s a reward. For the perpetrator who stole this.」
「This necklace was handed over to her, and she tore it to shreds with her emotions and gave him the green athyst that ca off as a reward. She seed to be a very passionate person, so maybe she didn’t want to keep it on hand.」
“I see,” Ryniel-sama nodded.
「It would make sense if she found out that Lord Colden was looking into it after she gave it to him and hurriedly asked him to restore it. She is an ardent follower of Her Royal Highness the Princess.」
I had been talking without proper nouns until now, and now I finally did. I thought in a corner of my head. Although there was no problem with the conversation because it was common knowledge, I was concerned because it was an issue within the royal court.
「But from the point of view of the Lady, it would be a poor necklace. Wouldn’t she rather laugh herself silly?『A fiancée who can only receive this level of gift,』sothing like that. Is it enough to tear it to shreds?」
Green athysts are highly valuable, but other stones are not particularly hard to find. The pearls are semi-first class, distorted in shape and simple in design. Above all, the lack of an engraving ant that it wasn’t made by a well-known store. It was hardly an item to be resented.
「You don’t understand the female mind, Missy? Neil said it earlier. Love and hate, love and hate.」
Just being Raul’s fiancée ans they resented . It’s kind of a harsh world.
「And Miss. Earlier you assud that your fiancé isn’t interested in you and that the jewelry is aningless, but is that really the case?」
His words made wrinkle my brow.
「What do you an?」
Neil suddenly picked up the necklace and held it up for us to see.
「It’s missing now, but simply green athyst and citrine are the colors of Miss and his eyes. If that were all, it would be any combination anyone could think of for a gift for a fiancée.」
Neither I nor the other two interrupted Neil, who kept his eyes fixed on and spun his words as if to say sothing to .
「However, in addition to its rarity, green athyst is a gemstone that’s said to bring love and healing to interpersonal relationships and to lead all relationships to a happy resolution. It’s also said to be the guardian stone of love.」
As it was, Neil continued to speak.
「The stone language of pearls also has the aning of amity, and the shape of the angel’s wings that your daughter ntioned also has aning. If one wing of this angel was made in a pair, it would be one with special aning.」
「Special aning?」
「Yes. It’s『Long Lasting Love.』」
At these words, I heard the gasp of Ryniel-sama, who was standing next to .
「Even this design is sothing I know from looking at Miss that she prefers simple things.」
「What better gift to give to Missy with whom he have a strained relationship…」
Gaspar mutters to no one in particular.
「The aning of the gift he sent to Miss. He wants to resolve your relationship amicably and pledge their long-lasting love. This necklace says so.」
「Definitely a courtship, yes.」
For a mont, the room beca as still as if it had been flooded, and I was affected by this and couldn’t say anything either.
「When the lady learned what it ant, she beca angry. What is suspicious about it?」
Three eyes stared at . I searched for words, trying to say sothing. I am sure they are waiting for to say sothing. I open my mouth a few tis, but repeat closing it because I can’t get the words out.
There were no words I could say. It was because of the half difference in temperature between and them.
Because, you know, they are expecting sothing from . They want my reaction to shed tears or sothing. It’s not my imagination that I feel it so keenly, is it?
Eh, where was the place to shed a tear already? Where I was courted?? I’m the one who refuses to be courted every year. I’m not waiting for anything, so I’m courting. What I want is consent to end the engagent. You can tell by looking at that I like simple designs? I’m not hiding it, it’s more like a public statent, and everyone knows it even if they don’t look at . I’ve even been made fun of by the ladies in my circle.
Neil, you’ve been watching too much theater. That’s why it’s such a romance-filled idea. Where’s the romance in courting with jewelry language? It would be disastrous if you couldn’t communicate. Not every woman knows the language of flowers and stones. In fact, you guys know more than I do.
Ugh, why is Gaspar a little teary too? That’s just his eyes watering from the heat. I wouldn’t say I was moved to tears by mistake. I didn’t find anywhere to be impressed. Why are you looking at so warmly? I’m not happy at all!
You know, Ryniel-sama, you know that I don’t want to marry Raul. Above all, does Raul seem like the kind of man who would do such a thing? He is the kind of fool who would perform a self-indulgent theater piece for us. What is this long-lasting love? Why would a man who is suspicious of propose to in the manner of so romance? It’s his brain that’s passing by, not yours. It was Ryniel-sama who was angry with earlier for being disrespected!!!
I want to say it. I want to say it so badly. But I can’t say it. There’s an air of not being allowed to say it.
I turned over and hid my face and let out a deep, deep sigh in my mind, as if I could do this all over again.
