Duke Nergiante looked at me with a look like he didn't understand what I was saying at first.
Then when he looked closely at the groove, he noticed that this groove was shaped like the ring that he was wearing.
This was the heirloom that had been passed down for generations in his family and the thing that I had asked him for earlier.
Duke Nergiante couldn't help knitting his brows when he heard this.
He didn't put the ring in like I told him to and instead looked at me as if he was trying to confirm what I had just said.
I pointed at the groove and calmly said, "Just put the ring in there and we can get started."
Duke Nergiante knitted his brows even more when he heard this.
He just looked at me like he was asking for an explanation, but I looked back at him while matching his gaze without saying a single thing. It was as if I wouldn't explain no matter how he questioned me.
