Saved Him, Now I'm Obsessed (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 156

“There’s talk that the guild will hold a gemstone exhibition. They’re eagerly awaiting the invitation.”

“A gemstone exhibition held by a guild is nothing more than displaying goods they intend to sell.”

“Oh, come on—it’s not some ordinary sales exhibition. Haven’t you heard they discovered an incredible vein of ore a few years ago? Now that they’ve found it, they’ve gathered all the renowned artisans from the Carlobanian Empire to properly refine it. They’re finally ready to show off the results.”

“That’s right. I heard the stones are so large that even after cutting the raw gems, they still display enormous, dazzling jewels.”

This was exactly the kind of topic my fiancé, Eloyd, would’ve excitedly chattered about—if only he were here.

But he wasn’t. He had joined the circle surrounding Princess Greina—and Ian was there with them too.

“They say some of the gems are as big as a thumbnail.”

“A thumbnail? I heard some are even as large as a marble.”

“No way…”

“I’ve never even heard of gems that large.”

“Even if they’re big, they couldn’t possibly be that huge. Raw stones, maybe—but a cut gem that large? Impossible.”

Indeed, it made no sense for a gem to be that big. Yet Simmons’ reaction clearly indicated it was something valuable… So perhaps it wasn’t a cut gem but a raw stone?

But could a raw stone ever be that perfectly smooth and round? I knew next to nothing about gems, but the dazzling brilliance radiating from that marble was far too splendid to dismiss as an ordinary pebble.

Should I have asked Lord Eloyd? No—it doesn’t matter whether it’s a gem or not; I intend to return it anyway.
