Gems?
No...
Could it be a ring?
Looking at the ruby ring inside the box, Marvin furrowed his brows. His relationship with Freya was solely platonic, never crossing boundaries, not even initiated, so why would he be receiving a ring?
If it were just a simple ring, it might have held no special meaning, but the ruby in the box was bigger than a thumb, clearly no ordinary item.
To send such a thing...
What were Freya's intentions?
Though the Second Prince was curious, he said, "Nicholas, you should accept it, after all, it's a gift from Freya..."
"Please hold your tongue, Your Highness."
"Oh."
As their gazes met, Marvin pondered for a moment and asked, "Why do you want to give me a ring?"
"I told you, it's a gift."
"I accept no reward without service."
"Isn't it normal to exchange gifts among friends?"
"But who would send such a valuable ruby ring without reason?"
