Samuel was surprised to see how happy the jewelry store owner was to see that Samuel was perfectly fine when they stepped inside to pick up the rings. He guessed that the older man felt really endeared to the family after what Zane had done for him.
The rings were a perfect fit at least so there was no concern about having to get them adjusted again with how close the engagement party was going to be. Even the gift that he had gotten had been put on hold even though he was picking it up far later than he had originally intended to. The owner even slipped it into box that he had provided for them to carry the rings out in so that the princess wouldn't see it by accident.
Even though it had caused a certain amount of trouble, he still thought that it was worth the trouble to get it as a proper engagement ring for the other. He just hoped that she would like it. At a later point they could come back to get the rings from the Vedova Nera adjusted if necessary.
