He worriedly cupped her cheeks as she gripped his wrist. "Gu-Gusion." She whimpered.

"What is it? What's wrong?" He asks her worriedly.

Did her sickness got worst? Does she not fancy the bed and room? Is the room to cold? He bite his lips seeing her rosy cheeks turned paler every passing seconds. She's hyperventilating!

"I lost my necklace. Help me find it." She sobbed.

Gusion was stopped on his tracks and stared at her as she started to mumble. "My brother, Lancelot, gave it to me when I turned 18 years old." She sniffled.

"I can't lost it. It's the only thing that I value the most. He gave it to me! He customize it for me! And my brother is currently missing right now. Oh god, I don't even know if he is alive or something! It's the only thing I have from him!" She gripped his wrist tighter, "Please, help me find it. I can't- I do not want to lost it. I'm so stupid! Why am I so stupid? Why did I lost it?" She sobbed harder as her breathing increased in pace.

"Hey— calm down." Gusion swallowed the lump in his throat.

Fuck. He fucked up.

"Oh god, please help me." She removed the engagement ring on her fingers. "S-Sell this. I'll pay you with this. Just please– please—" she wailed harder, "Please help me find it in the forest. I think I lost it in there. I'm so stupid. Why are you so stupid, Guinevere?!" She let go of his wrist to grip her hair in frustration.

"That ring costs atleast 300 golds. Sell it. It's all y-yours now. I don't care about that. But please—" She begged, "Please help me recover my necklace." She begged harder.

"It's a necklace with a flower-shaped pendant. There's an emerald like the color of my eyes in the middle on it. Behind the pendant is my initials. There's a G.B carved on it." Her lips keep on shaking from panic. "It's customize so no one has it except for me. I can immediately differentiate it to any jewelries." She buried her face to her hands and screamed. "Help me. I begged of you."

Gusion remained bend down staring at her as his heart began to beat fast at nervousness and guilt. Fuck, he should've stole the ring instead but he thought that maybe the ring has values because it came from her fiancee. How will he know that she values the the necklace more?

He looked away from her in guilt. "I'll h-help you find it." He stuttered out.

Her sobs soften though she hiccups here and there. "You will?" Her emerald eyes that reflected in the necklace shone to him as if reminding him of his sin.

"Yes, I will." He promised.

He is not telling her he sold it. He would recover it back to her. He'll be meeting the girl who bought it a while ago after all.

"I will find your necklace."

"No! We'll find it!"

"It'll just be fine. I'll find it myself."

"You don't even know how it really looks like!" She reasoned with him and Gusion winced.

Fuck it. He knows what it damn looks like. He sold it after all!

She started wiping her tears in her cheeks and her emerald eyes gleamed in determination.

"Let's just eat for now." He stood up and got the tray again. He swallowed another lump on his throat as his gloved fingers shook while clutching the tray. He didn't even know he still have this thing called guilt.
