Chapter 21

"I never heard of that."

Curiosity has bitten inside me as I pick up my pen that is now on the floor then I look at him in the eyes, he was playing with his hair then pouted.

"It's time for you to know then. Are you curious?" he asked then he sat beside me, I nodded.

Tumingin siya sa unahan at bahagyang dinilaan ang kanyang labi bago magsalita. "There are seven gems. Opal (white), blue Sapphire, Emerald (green), brown Topaz, Ruby (red), Spinel (orange), and Amethyst (purple)." He paused and looked at my eyes then smiled. I was just nodding at him, intently looking at his God lick side view, his jawline is really making him so manly.

"Each gems were distributed by five rich men in Puerto Princesa, no one knows where it came from and no one knows where they are right now, well for some of it. These gems are precious and are rich in power, money, and most of all, royalty."

Royalty, it is possible that it came from a royal family? Or a kingdom? I shook my head in disbelief, umaandar nanaman ang aking fantasy na utak.

I rested my hand on the railings and my chin rested on my palm as my eyes stayed on him that is just looking at front, his mouth was parted as he continues his story but before he could spoke, I cannot control my mouth anymore.

"Royalty? Anything else? This story seems like a fantasy novel Hale, are you sure this is real?" my eyes narrowed at him. He eyed on me and simply nodded as he pinched my nose and I annoyingly looked at him with a reddish nose. I rolled my eyes at him.

He breathed and chuckled before looking at front again. His head nods. "Yes, this is real, because my grandfather was one of the rich men and I had the brown Topaz."

"Wait—had? Where is it now?" My eyes widened in what he said and immediately catches his attention when I sit properly.

"I returned it back to where my grandfather found it."

"You said that no one knows where it came from."

"That's my belief system. But grandfather lied to me—to us for some unknown reason."

"Us? Who are the 'us'?"

"Us four. The fifth one was the Villamor."
