The Blue Topaz Ring

People began to move closer. For a moment, they felt as if they were influenced by something invisible and subconsciously moved to open the way for Therius and Xion to come to the front of the stage. Now they slowly gathered around the four young people who seemed to be conversing.

"Who are they? Wahhh .. the men are so handsome!!!"

"Maybe they are from another school?"

"Looks like they know Emma."

The sound of whispers immediately filled the hall. Nadya patted Cedric's shoulder as she stood gawking beside him.

"So are they really your cousins or Emma's? Why do they seem to know Emma?"

Cedric only shrugged his shoulders. He also did not understand what was happening.

"I won't go without Haoran," Emma said again in Akkadian. Her voice was firm and full of determination.

Therius stepped forward and looked at Haoran. He didn't like this young man, but somehow he knew Haoran seemed more reasonable than Emma.
