Crown Prince Lail scanned the arrangement of flowers. The Amayan realm was one of flourishing foliage and water. Every stalk of plant and flower that grew in the land carried beauty and unnatural charm and at times, possessed some sort of healing, calming, or defensive magic.
Crown Prince Lail spotted a large pink and white lotus swirling with a faint trace of magic. The lotus, though grown in some sort of a swamp, looked dignified and graceful reminding him of his wife.
"I want that lotus flower."
"Sire, that's a twin lotus. According to my master, it carries the secrets of the heavens. It costs more than 5000 Aquiline Stones. Rather than your wife, I think it suits you better." Ruen shyly glanced at him with a sweet smile.
Sigh, if only such a man could belong to her...
Crown Prince Lail took out a pouch from under his black robes and threw it on the counter. "I don't need your opinion. Just give me the lotus."
