Elf Princesses

Episode 26's. A jewel

"Where is Your Majesty?" Rubby asked one of the bodyguards who was also on duty when Zac left the city. He just passed around Zac's room.

"It looks like he's in his room. What do I want to call you, Your Majesty?" ask the guard respectfully. Rebels, Rubby's clinging. "No." replied Rubby briefly. He was near Zac's room, but that doesn't mean he wants to see Zac. He just wanted to make sure of his husband.

And remember, that Rubby still doesn't have any feelings for Zac. His decision not to love the human race has been said many times. However, as long as he was in the human world, Zac had helped him a lot. So, Rubby had to reply with the right thing as a form of reply.

"Didn't you miss me? Why are you still standing there?" the question from behind Rubby made the woman turn her head. He caught the figure of a man buttoning his clothes and walked over to him.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Rubby bowed respectfully.

"Come, you haven't had dinner yet, have you?" Zac smiled faintly. The man invited Rubby to dinner together. He had just finished his bath after returning from out of town.

"Baginda...want to have dinner with me?" asked Rubby to frown.

"There's something I have to tell you, so what's wrong with us eating together, right? After all, the waiters also said that you haven't had dinner yet." explained Zac with big steps towards the dining room.

Rubby just nodded his head small, the woman continued to accompany Zac's steps.

Some dishes and desserts were being prepared by the servants. While Zac and Rubby, they also still put a cloth around their necks.

"How was your trip? Is everything going well?" rubby asked after sipping her green tea.

"Yes, I am grateful that the imperial condition can be restored after the war." replied Zac sighing.

"I'm happy for that." replied Rubby still with stiff language.

Zac paused for a moment and looked at Rubby's eyeballs. I don't know why his eyes can't not focus on that woman's pretty face.

"Is there something on my face?" Rubby frowned and fumbled his face.

"No." replied Zac. They continued to eat dinner quietly.

Until after the last mouthful of fruit entered Rubby's mouth, Zac began to raise his voice again.

"It's night, rest. Thank you for today." Zac smiled faintly. "Oh, there's something I want to tell you" the man added.

Zac let out a long sigh, "Tomorrow, come to my room, I have something to give you" said Zac who then made the woman in front of him silent for a while.

"All right." Rubby said briefly.

****

Tomorrow..

"Please, Your Majesty" said a bodyguard inviting Rubby to enter Zac's room.

With small steps, the woman walked over to Zac who was still pensive looking out the window. "You've come, huh?" Zac spoke slowly and turned around. He saw a blonde woman in a light blue dress she was wearing. She's really pretty.

"Come here, I have something to give you" Zac smiled faintly, taking out a small box from his pants pocket.

What's.. What does he want to give? Rubby. He frowned confusedly. "If your Majesty wants to give me a gift, I will refuse it. I'm really grateful, but-"

"Rubby's eyes, just like your name." Zac interrupted Rubby's speech. The man opened a small box containing a jewel called 'Rubby'. Rubby's gem, yes, that very rare gem Zac found on the black market before he returned to the palace.

'I'm doing this for you, Rubby. Please, accept Zac's inner self. She was afraid that Rubby would refuse her gift. In fact, the man had let himself go to the black market only to buy rubby jewels, gems that appear once every 40 years. And Zac, he got it not so easily.

Flashback a few years ago..

"Sir, can you ask what your needs are? maybe I can help you." a man with a black rabbit-shaped mask smiled at Zac. He seemed confused by the Zac style that was so closed. Naturally, Zac wore a black robe and a face covering that made no one see his face clearly.

"I. need a Rubby gem." Zac exclaimed to the man. He immediately said to the point.

"Well, let me take you to the jewelery, maybe they're selling those rare gems, right?"

That's how Zac found Rubby's gem, he even spent his time lingering there in search of a rare gem.

"Sir, are you really looking for Rubby's gem?" ask a jewel seller. Just like the man who approached Zac earlier, the man also wore a black rabbit mask. I don't know what that means, but obviously most of the sellers here wear masks to hide their real faces.

Zac just nodded. Then immediately, the jewel seller grinned. "Then you have come to the right place" he said firmly.

Sure enough, shortly after he entered his shop, the man took out the jewel that Zac was looking for. The gem is bright red with a light shining on it. It is certain that the gem is genuine.

Zac frowned. "Are you kidding me?!" he said loudly. Zac's hand grabbed the seller's clothes collar and stared at him sharply. His intimidating gaze made the seller glare with a slightly trembling body.

"Hey, sir! Can you just calm down? akh.."

It is common for there to be such a buyer. So, the man couldn't get a wiggle and physically reply to Zac.

"Then, how can you prove that it's real stuff?!" tanya Zac is full of emphasis. He actually just wanted to make sure whether the gem was really real or not. However, if seen through the eyeballs of Zac who are accustomed to checking the authenticity of a gem, it can be ascertained 99% that the gem is indeed genuine.

"Yes, okay. I'll try to use it, so, please let me go, okay?" the seller bit his lower lip irritated. He sat down and scorned Zac in his heart.

"As you know, the legend goes, Rubby's jewel came from the heart of a dragon who gave it to the East. And supposedly, this gem was no ordinary gem. Rubby's gem, the crowd called it a magic gem because it can cast magic. I'll prove it right now!" obviously the seller was long.

The salesman began to close his eyes and clasped the jewel. A huge magic began to appear around him, showing just how powerful the gem was.

Zac closed part of his eyes, yes, to be honest, the gem was even stronger than him. And make Zac have to resist the light that might be piercing his eyes. If only the man did not have a strong mana, then Zac would not be able to hold it. As well as one of the reasons he was able to withstand the power in the Elf necklace he used during the war, was because of which one was on his body.

"All right, I'll take it." Zac paused for a moment, he had already established himself.

'If Rubby was the owner of the necklace I used during the war. Maybe this gem can also be used, ' Zac began to think, could have Rubby has a strong mana like him.

"Tell me how much I have to pay. I'll take it out." Zac said with a sharp look.
