"Perhaps I should wait a little longer..." the Queen sighed to herself, "The Crown Prince and Clementine are still young; maybe if they spend more time together, he'll fall in love with his pretty and adorable cousin."
Just then, the auctioneer below announced in a melodious voice, "The next item up for auction is the exquisite 'Star's Wish' necklace. It was designed by a master designer..."
As the Queen was lost in thought, she saw Clementine suddenly stand up beside her, her blue eyes wide open and unblinking as she stared at the auction item, murmuring excitedly to herself, "It's the one he wore, no mistake, that's the one!"
The Queen smiled and shook her head. Little girls often couldn't resist the allure of beautiful jewelry; she herself had been just as excited when she saw jewelry she liked in her younger days.
However, she failed to notice that the necklace being auctioned was nearly identical to the one the Crown Prince wore in the portrait "Child of Divine Favor"!
