Yohana eventually settled on purchasing mint-colored ribbons and a necklace for Thea. She believed that the mint hue would complement Thea's complexion.
While she found the necklace particularly enchanting, her primary motivation was to adorn Thea with something lovely, especially since she often had to wear plain uniform dresses while in the palace.
Thea's eyes widened in amazement as Yohana presented her with the gifts.
"What is this? Oh, my! Is this really for me, My Lady? They are absolutely beautiful," she exclaimed, her voice quivering with emotion. Her eyes soon welled up with tears.
Yohana, gently patting Thea's head, inquired with concern, "Why are you crying, Thea? What's the matter?"
Thea continued to sob for a brief moment before regaining her composure enough to speak.
"This is just so incredibly beautiful. You are so beautiful, My Lady. I don't know what else to say. I will love you forever. If you tell me to die, I will."
