Chapter 163

Seeing my bright smile, Ninaina then put on a relieved expression as if that was a good thing.

“Then, would you like to try the bracelet first?”

After asking that question, she looked at my wrist with serious eyes and seemed to measure something.

“Hmm, let’s see. Emir has slender wrists……. It would be nice to lock it on this compartment.”

“Huh, Your Highness will be putting it on by yourself?”

Ninaina’s small hand grabbed the bracelet and reached my wrist.

I was surprised.

Ninaina lightly nodded her head in surprise.

“Sure. More than that, it fits perfectly.”

“…… It really is.”

As if it had been custom-made for me from the beginning, it clicked.

“Now, I’ll put the ring on you. Give me your finger.”

I politely put my finger out.

Then a large emerald silver ring was placed on my finger.

The other fingers were vaguely loose or tight, so she couldn’t help but choose my index finger.

I was somehow unfamiliar with the sparkling jewels.

I have my own jewelry box at home, but it’s probably because I’m not the type to wear jewelry often in the first place.

‘But again, it’s not a bad feeling.’

I smiled and turned my greenish hand to and fro.

Then, belatedly, I realized something most important and asked Ninaina.

“Your Highness, then I will buy this bracelet and ring. How much?”

“Um, how much should I do? In fact, I didn’t even think about how much it would cost.”

Somehow it seemed that even the seller, Ninaina had forgotten even.

“What?”

When I was startled, Ninaina shrugged her shoulders and said playfully.

“Then let’s decide now. How about 3 silver?”

“For both a ring and a necklace?”

For a fairly cheap price, I tilted my head.

Then Ninaina shook her head at once.

“No no. Both are three silvers each.”

“…… No!”

As I, who jumped up and down at Ninaina’s words, her curious eyes returned as if wondering why.

“Is it too expensive? It’s my first time with model money.”

“…… !”

If I hesitated here, I was sure to get that luxurious and pretty jewelry set for just 2 silver at a low price. No, maybe 1 silver.

‘That’s not allowed!’

Of course, it was a situation in which there was no harm to me, but rather a huge gain.

‘That’s why it’s even worse…….’

This was truly a market simulation experience. A class to develop economic ideas.

‘So, no matter how much you think of it as a game, you have to pay the price.’

Instead of answering, I searched my money bag and pulled out 10 silver coins.

And I gave a slightly late answer to Ninaina’s question.

“No, my lord. I think 3 silver is too cheap. I’ll pay you 10 silver.”

Even I put 5 silvers on each item.

“Um, really?”

Ninaina took my words straight away and nodded her head.

“Well, Emir, if that’s what you’re talking about. I trust you.”

“…… !”

No wonder, Ninaina. With the last diary story. I think you trust me too much.

‘Of course I wouldn’t break that trust. What would happen if other people believed in you like that ….?’

I was a little worried.

But as soon as Ninaina spoke, those worries melted away.

“If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t have trusted them.”

What, Princess, do you read minds?

It seemed as if she knew what I was thinking about, so I paused for a moment.

Then Ninaina looked at me and smiled.

“But Emir is special because you are the first friend I met here. Also, don’t you think of me first like I just did?”

“…….”

“So I have no choice but to trust you. Emir is different from other people to me.”

“Th, thank you…….”

Hearing the constant praise and affectionate words, I felt somewhat embarrassed.

I quickly greeted Ninaina and left with my pocket and jewels.

‘I see. The reason why Ninaina is so kind only to me…….’

By chance, I got to know Nina’s inner heart.

I was a little excited, and after calming my mind in the corner for a while, I participated in the market game again.

This time I visited Cedric’s shop.

“You’re here? Why are you here so late?”

Cedric snapped a bit as soon as I saw my face.

In fact, I had been feeling Cedric’s gaze on me secretly from before.

‘When I was looking at other stores, he kept looking at me while rolling his feet.’

Cedric pretended not to ask directly, but it seems he was actually waiting for me.

“I thought you were going to be the first to come, but you looked around at other stores first. You have no loyalty as a friend.”

I’m sorry, Cedric. These kindergarten kids are all my friends, how can I take care of your loyalty?

‘No, what do you mean you thought I would come first? In fact, when he was on the purchasing team, he was the last to come to me.’

Besides, thinking about what happened earlier, I got a little embarrassed. So I grumbled the same way.

“Hng, Sir Cedric came to me last too.”

“That, that… … !”

Cedric shut his mouth as if he remembered his actions belatedly.
