Third Arc (Fallen Heart) - 302. Fair Trade III
Angel saw the flicker of confusion and curiosity in Lady Belle's eyes, and he decided to clarify. "Yes," he said, his voice steady and sincere. "I know it's very rare that I give someone a gift out of nowhere. But after thinking about it, I decided to give it a go."
With a fluid motion, he reached into his blazer and pulled out a small, elegantly crafted box. He held it for a moment, studying her reaction, before opening it to reveal the necklace inside. The candlelight glinted off the delicate metal and precious stones, casting a soft glow that seemed almost magical.
Lady Belle's eyes immediately fell on the necklace. It was breathtaking, the kind of piece that could only be described as exquisite. The design was intricate, with a central gemstone that seemed to capture and refract the light in a mesmerizing way. As she gazed at it, memories stirred within her. She remembered this necklace vividly.
Years ago, during the dark days of King Xenos' tyrannical reign, she had seen this very necklace around the neck of a wealthy merchant in Euphorion. She had admired it from afar, captivated by its beauty, but she had been too young and too reserved to voice her interest. Soon after, the merchant and his entire family were executed by the late king for reasons that were never made clear. The necklace, along with many other treasures, had vanished, and she had assumed it was lost forever.
A smile slowly spread across Lady Belle's lips, tinged with a mix of nostalgia and wonder. Her hand reached out almost instinctively to touch the necklace, her fingers brushing over the cool metal and smooth gemstones. "It's… it's very beautiful," she said softly, her voice filled with genuine awe.
Angel smiled gently, his eyes softening as he saw the emotion in Lady Belle's face. "I'm glad you like it. Take it," he said, holding the box out toward her.
Lady Belle's hands trembled slightly as she reached out and took the box from him. "Thank you, Your Majesty," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. Her heart felt like it was blossoming, a mix of joy and disbelief coursing through her. Not only had she received an item she had long desired, but it had come from Angel himself. Even if it was given out of pity, it still meant that Angel cared about her feelings enough to make such a gesture.
She found it difficult to hide the radiant smile that spread across her face. Her fingers traced the edges of the box reverently before she closed it and hugged it to her chest. The warmth of the gesture filled her with a sense of happiness she hadn't felt in a long time.
Her eyes, now bright with delight, met Angel's. There was a vulnerability in her gaze, a silent gratitude that words couldn't fully express. "This means so much to me," she managed to say, her voice trembling with emotion.
Angel couldn't help but smile at Lady Belle's expression, and a rare chuckle escaped his lips. It was a sound almost foreign to those who knew him, as he usually wore a stony, impenetrable expression and seldom laughed. "You certainly show an interesting expression there," he said, his eyes twinkling with a rare warmth. "It reminds me of our first meeting."
Lady Belle was momentarily thrown into the past by his words. She remembered that fateful day vividly, a memory that had remained etched in her heart. Angel wasn't a king back then but a skilled hunter. Her carriage had been ambushed by a monstrous creature during a journey, and chaos had erupted. She had been terrified, surrounded by the screams of her guards and the hideous growls of the beast.
In that moment of despair, Angel had appeared. He was a stranger, yet he had fought with unmatched bravery and skill, ultimately slaying the creature and saving her life. She recalled his intense eyes, the way he had carried himself with calm confidence even in the face of danger. His clothes had been simple, his demeanor humble, but there was something undeniably compelling about him.
