After visiting Hazel's Boutique, we went to another shop again. I don't know why the Duke wanted to go here but boy! This man is richer than me. After all, he serves not only this country but also Telbia. I see that rich people love to buy pieces of jewelry to display how rich they are. Well, Mother and Father aren't like that at all. I could only see Mother using her Jewelry when there is a ball because mostly she is out training lots of soldiers, knights, and of course assassins. Father only wears a ring which was passed on by our ancestors and represents that he is the Head of the Hamilton Household. Philip wasn't into rings and necklaces. As for my older brother, I don't know but I get the feeling that he would spend his money on books.
When we enter the store, It is filled with precious diamonds, gold, and silver.
"Ah! Duke Claude! It has been a while!" An old man appears and greets us. "What can I help you?"
"Sir Alexius, I want you to meet my fiancee, Lady Calla Victoria Antonette-Hamilton."
The old man seems to be excited. "Ah! It is my pleasure to meet such a beautiful young lady!" We shook hands and he lead us to a couch. "Please sit! I will be back in a jiffy." The energetic old man disappears and appears just like how Flash is!
Sir Alexius handed a small jewelry box to Claude. My eyes are glued to it, wondering what is inside the box. When Claude opened it, it was a beautiful ring. An oval blue sapphire gold ring! Back on Earth, I love rings but I was just a poor Med student who is striving to graduate and thus, I gave up on that love for rings and continue to just focus on studying. When I came here, I have rings, necklaces, and bracelets but I have never seen a blue sapphire ring because according to them, it is quite rare.
"This is the ring that was passed on in our family. Only the lady of Lennox can have it." Claude said. "My mother once wore this ring. It wasn't oval before and I asked Sir Alexius to fix it and make it different but it is the same stone."
I was shocked when Claude took my left hand and slipped the ring on my ring finger. "Duke Claude...This is..." I looked at him and I feel overwhelmed. "Duke Claude, I do not deserve this."
"Do you like someone?" He asked. He then kissed the back of my hand and smiled. Duke Claude didn't wait for my answer. I just silently looked at him.
"This is for you. After all, you are my Fiancee."
