"Uh, it's..."
There was no time to stop.
Astana, who took the brooch box as if it was his own, immediately opened the lid.
"Diamond brooch?"
"What this big diamond..."
Astana and the Empress muttered in surprise at the same time.
Snap!
Perez rose from his seat and took the brooch box roughly.
"You..."
The Empress glared at the sight.
"How could you possibly do that?"
Astana didn't seem to believe that the brooch belonged to Perez.
"It's a brooch I gave him as a gift."
I said with a humble smile.
"Your Highness Second Prince, if you don't mind, why don't you show the others a little more brooch?"
Show off more properly!
Perez was very loathsome, but he obediently reopened the brooch box.
Greed and envy flowed down from the eyes of the three who saw the best jewels shining.
It's the best! It's thrilling!
"Huh. The Second Prince has a good friend."
The only one that had a mind to say was the Emperor who already had a large diamond.
As far as I know, the Empress and Astana don't own any diamonds yet.
Angenas put in a few orders but I put their priorities at the back of my hand.
So it will be very later for the Empress to get her hands on diamonds unless she buys them with more money than any other aristocrat.
Originally owned by the Angenas, the mine is now mine.
This diamond was originally owned by the Empress and Astana.
'It's mine now.'
There was something I really wanted to say to the two people sitting side by side and staring blankly at the diamond brooch.
You don't have this at home, do you?

A few days after visiting Imperial Palace.
I came to the Pellet office again.
"She has wasted a lot of money."
Clerivan said while turning over the papers with frowned eyes.
After the Pellet's banquet, I asked Clerivan for help again.
Vestian's performance was excellent enough to tilt Clerivan's head over his affair, who knew that Vestian was approaching Angenas.
So that everyone doesn't doubt Vestian's mind about Shananet at all.
However, when I told him the scene I witnessed myself, he quickly rolled up his sleeves and secretly recognized it by mobilizing his remaining connections in Lombardy.
"It's weird that he hasn't been caught in a while."
"Is it that bad?"
"Yes, of course, if you look closely, you'll see something suspicious in no time."
"I don't think anyone suspected Vestian Schultz."
No one else, Vestian Schultz, son-in-law of the Lombardy family.
