LISA [Liskook]✔️

Chapter 22

HAPPY READING

Jisung placed a large box wrapped in luxurious velvet on the table. Lisa slowly opened the box with an expectant mind.

"Huk!"

The maid next to her, peeking from the corner of her eye let out a gasped and exclaimed in surprise. It was not just the maid, Lisa was just as surprised. Inside the box was a dazzling, gorgeous looking white diamond necklace with countless diamonds hanging from it. Lisa did not really know the price of jewelry but this could not be simple jewelry, it was a treasure.

Were diamonds common gems? Normal necklaces would have a diamond present in the middle of it, resting on the breastbone, connected to a thin gold string. The diamond would just be an accessory to the rest of the necklace. For this necklace, the main character of the necklace was a huge diamond that made her suspicious if it was really a diamond or just a piece of glass.

She had never seen something like this before. She could guess that even if one of the noble ladies had something like this, they would be too afraid and wouldn't dare to have it on their necks when they are going out.

She hesitated, wondering in her heart if she should dare touch it then carefully approached and took the necklace in both of her hands. She almost missed its heavy weight the moment it touched her hands.

"Wear it and see, your Grace."

A maid brought a full-length mirror as Lisa grew more delighted. She fastened the necklace and stood in front of the mirror. The weight of the necklace made her feel as though someone was pushing down on her neck with two hands. Her entire neckline was densely covered with sparkling diamonds.

"It looks really good on you, your Grace."

Jisung was pleased and lavished her with compliments.

"Just what... is this?"

The necklace she was expecting was a cute or common female ornament not a rare item that seemed to have come from the royal treasury.

"Did he really buy this? As a present for me?"

"His Grace regrets that it took more time than he thought for the gift to arrive. He wanted to give you before he departed for the inspection."

"This...this is pretty excessive."

Jisung was bewildered by Lisa's reluctant response.

"It is not excessive, your Grace."

"If the recipient feels burdened, then it is an excessive gift. Jisung, if... I were to tell his Grace that I feel burdened, would he be upset?"

"Yes."

Jisung replied firmly. He had watched as his master chose this gift with quite the happy expression. It was the first time that his master had personally chosen a gift for a woman. In the past, he would only ask Jisung to pay for whatever item the woman wanted.

Jisung did not know if he would make a mistake while talking about his master's past relationships so he didn't say anything. He was specially watching his mouth as he had been pretty careless in the past because of Lisa's inquiries.
