Karn's Restlessness

The elder recited some things from a sacred book, after which he opened a box in which there were two rings placed. One was a white studded diamond, while the other was black studded.

Both were shimmering and had a pure shine to them. Even an ordinary man with a glance could deduce that these two rings were priceless.

Viktor raised his brows, seeing how beautiful these rings were, and wondered which one was his. He knew this engagement ceremony was just to establish their status as 'fiance' to each other by putting on this ring. Nothing more, nothing less.

The elder looked at Viktor and said, "You can pick the ring on the left and put it on her."

Viktor nodded and picked the white ring before looking at Nyissa, whose cheeks were dyed in a delicate pink, feeling her heart beating rapidly by just standing before him and going through this ceremony.

She didn't know why she was feeling so nervous, yet a bit of anticipation as well.
