The Goddess and the Cursed Prince
15. Spell Bracelet
The next day, Ijima was busy browsing every place he visited yesterday, the ladies and gentlemen were confused.
"Queen, what are you looking for?" ask lady Annie.
Ijima looked at Annie's lady-in-waiting as she glazed over, "Darling Annie, my bracelet is gone."
"Which bracelet, Queen?"
"Bracelet from Shwan," replied Ijima still continue to search.
Chriss who crossed the hall saw his wife was confused and asked one of the maids.
"What is he looking for?" chriss asked with a cold look.
"She said Prince Shwan's bracelet was missing" the lady replied respectfully.
Chriss nodded in understanding then he continued on his way without intending to greet Ijima first.
"Today there was a meeting between the kingdoms" Sam said as Chriss sat in his study.
"Well, can you call a reputable bracelet maker?" ask Chriss to his sister.
"What's the bracelet for?"
"Ijima, her bracelet is missing" Chriss replied.
Sam nodded, "I'll get some soldiers to call one of the renowned bracelet makers."
The two Kodama descendants were preparing for a royal meeting, during which time Chriss's mind was filled with Ijima who was so lost.
"Damn, I have to focus," inwardly Chriss.
After arriving at a luxurious white-painted building, Chriss and Sam tidied up before stepping in.
During the meeting, Chrisa did not make a sound, he often noticed as if he was not interested in attending the event.
"I'm sorry for my delay" said the man who shocked Chriss and all the kings who had arrived at the time.
Chriss rubbed his eyes, making sure that his vision was still functioning properly.
Awldo Nakamura, the man who was a hunter wearing a Celosia robe, did not even wear a mask anymore.
"Please, your honor," said his bodyguard after pulling the chair in front of Chriss.
Chriss and Awldo threw fierce eyes at each other, both of Chriss' eyebrows furrowing in wonder, since when did the hunter-gatherer hold the throne of the kingdom of Celosia? And when is his coronation.
...👑...
Two days later, the bracelet that Chriss ordered from the renowned bracelet maker came. Gold chain bracelet with moon pendulum in the middle.
Before giving it to Ijima, Chriss made sure first that the bracelet was on his order.
"It's so pretty" murmured Chriss as he stroked the bracelet.
The man got out of his seat and walked to the garden gazebo, where Ijima is reading a book now.
Chriss fluttered his hands twice to the ladies accompanying Ijima. The dayang immediately understood and said retreat, leave Chriss and Ijima alone.
He was sitting next to Ijima, feeling very nervous considering that they had not communicated for a long time.
"Give me your hand" asked Chriss.
Ijima looked confused, but he obeyed. As soon as Ijima thrust out his hand, Chriss then put the bracelet on and bewitched the bracelet with special powers.
"What's this?" ask Ijima.
"That's a replacement for Shwan's missing bracelet and as my apology" Chriss said solemnly.
Ijima looked at the bracelet with a faint smile, "It's so beautiful, I like it. Thank you, Chriss."
"It's good that if you like it, I was worried." Chriss scratched the back neck that was not actually itchy while laughing stiffly.
Ijima placed his reading book next to his body and hugged Chriss without warning.
"Pardon me too, I don't know if Aw—"
Chriss closed Ijima's mouth with his index finger, "I've forgotten that, so don't provoke my anger anymore."
Ijima nodded in understanding, he tightened his arms, seeking comfort in the husband's arms.
Chriss returned the hug and kissed the top of Ijima's head without touching it.
...👑...
In the kingdom of Celosia, Awldo took off his great robe and sat down in a soft chair leaning back, tired. But he was quite amused by Chriss' surprised expression.
"Miss Ijima is Mr. Shwan's favorite woman, you don't deserve to be with her beloved after killing the main character. Chriss, I'm gonna take Miss from you." Awldo showed his winning smrik.
Awldo is initially assigned only to Shwan to look after Ijima, but he instead falls in love with his master's ex-lover. He felt insolent because he dared to put his heart on Ijima but what can be done if the heart has chosen? Avoiding is useless.
