Diamond In The Rough
Apart from the Duchess, there were other nobles in the store. Though some knew with a glance who Laina was, no one offered her a helping hand. Rumors about Laina had been spread by the nobility of Kinshearth and some were foolish enough to believe it.
Laina took a look around the store on the first floor. She knew instantly what sort of gemstones they were. She knew their price and how much they cost. It would not cost more than a drop of her wealth.
"Since you refuse to tell me how much it all costs, I take it that it's such a low number you think it's not worth my time. I would say you're right," Laina declared with a grin as she folded her arms.
Her words left the shop assistant speechless. They did not know what to say in return.
"I'll take everything," Laina added as she clapped her hands together.
"Everything?" the shop assistant echoed.
"Yes, everything."
