Chapter 100: The Queen’s Rare Gems (II)

When sunlight filtered through the greenhouse glass ceiling, she purposefully placed her hand beneath the beam so the Celestine Heart Stone would catch the light and sparkle brilliantly.

It took a while, but eventually, the others began to notice the ring on her hand. ƒrēewebnovel.com

Arabella was the first to comment internally. [Is she showing off? The ring is beautiful, but isn’t that just a ruby? I have plenty of diamond rings at home.]

A ruby?

Primrose might not have been the one who pulled the Celestine Heart Gem from the abyss herself, but it still stung to hear such a rare gem compared to an ordinary ruby.

"Your ring is so beautiful, Your Majesty," Mirelle finally said aloud, voicing what had clearly been on everyone’s mind. "Is that a ruby? I’ve seen many ruby rings in jewelry stores, but this is the first time I’ve seen one shine this brightly."

Primrose touched her ring, pretending to be surprised when someone finally noticed the beautiful gem on her finger. "Oh, this? This isn’t a ruby," she said, lowering her head and letting out a soft, shy giggle like someone overwhelmed with joy.

"My husband told me this is called the Celestine Heart Gem. Honestly, I don’t really know much about it, but the ring looked so beautiful that I believed he gave me something truly special."

Brielle, who was just about to take another bite of her pastry, abruptly set it back down on her plate a little too hard, causing the table to rattle. "C-Celestine Heart Gem?!" she gasped, completely forgetting about proper manners. "Are you certain that’s what it is?"

Primrose leaned back, startled. Of all the ladies present, she hadn’t expected Brielle to react the most dramatically. "M-My husband said so," she stammered. "D-Do you think His Majesty would lie to me?"

Without waiting for permission, Mirelle grabbed Primrose’s wrist and pulled her hand closer to inspect the ring up close.

Her cheerful expression vanished, replaced with one of intense focus.

"I-I can’t believe it," she whispered, then exclaimed as she raised Primrose’s hand in the air, "This is the real Celestine Heart Gem! I saw it once, a long time ago, but I’m certain, this is the real thing!"

She rose up from her chair so quickly she nearly knocked the table over. "Oh, heavens! Your Majesty, this gem is incredibly rare and nearly impossible to find!" she cried out.

Arabella, who had been dismissing the ring moments ago, sat frozen. It seemed the Celestine Heart Gem was a legendary treasure among the beasts, so everyone knew about it so well.

[I ... I thought that gem was just a myth,] Arabella thought bitterly. [Does it actually exist? How dare that human have something I don’t have?!]

If she had a problem with it, she should’ve taken it up with Edmund, he was the one who gave it to Primrose.

Primrose tilted her head slightly, feigning innocence. "Is this gem really that rare? I’ve never heard of it before, so I didn’t know."

She gasped softly. "Is this ring that expensive? Oh no ... I didn’t mean to accept something so extravagant from His Majesty."

She sounded like a sweet, guilty queen who feared being accused of wasting the kingdom’s money, but none of the women there thought that way. Not even the jealous Arabella.
