“Ms. Tanner, are you thirsty after saying so much?” She chuckled.

Nelly furrowed her brows.

Nelly looked appalled.

“You’ve heard about Le Esse, right? It’s a bangle.” Cordelia smiled. “There’s also Le Fari. It’s an emerald ring. It’s said that the king bestowed it when his family ancestor was a concubine.”

“What?” Nelly widened her eyes.

“Why? You haven’t heard of it?” Cordelia acted like realization had just dawned on her. “Ah, that’s right! Zephyr had been keeping them personally before he passed me the jewelry. How could you possibly have seen them!?”
