Eyes that looks
Something was different at the household that morning. But it was brushed off by the Elder woman and thought maybe because of their visitors. They had a nice warm breakfast and after they decided to show the children around.
Reaching the town plaza, everyone is excited to look. Izavella who was matured and older in change is even excited to experience this again. After being a Duchess at a young age, she became a slave of time and lost freedom.
Ivanna bought beautiful bows, Irinna happily enjoyed trying the Jairee's street candies and even Izriel was fascinated at the books which lead him to buy few.
At the middle of their happiness, they happened not to notice some wild eyes that keeps on looking at them.
"Grandmother is it okay that if you show them around, I think I would like to go back again at the store we passed. Something caught my eyes" Izavella told her grandmother after eyeing a jaded pendant from the previous store.
She thought this might be a good gift. She knew that her enemies are too many therefore if she can't defeat them then she can make them ally.
Izavella reached the shop which sells decorations for hair, clothes and etc. She raised a white jade rounded in shaped. Where it is attached to a small red ribbon with golden threads embroidered to it. The golden embroidery it forms is a beautiful lotus sea dragon. She laid it back and eyed another piece, this one is a white silver bracelet adorned with small white jades forming little flowers. The leaves are maid from thin silver coils. This piece is simpler but beautiful.
Back in Luha, all of the jewelries of the citizens are made in pearls. Because the most and common jobs available in Luha is in Pearl Farming. And Jades and other precious stones are luxury only wealthier family could afford.
"But I think this looks more beautiful" Izavella whispered as she reached for another bracelet. It is in the same white silver base. But the main design is a beautiful Crescent Moon surrounded with silver flowers. When Izavella had decided, she bought the pieces she liked.
"Thank you" she smiled at the vendor as she receives the small bag she purchased.
It was already time to go back and find her siblings when she was pushed by two running man. Who seems to be older than her in just few years. She was pushed too hard making her fall into the street. Everyone was shocked seeing her fall. A young lady immediately helped her.
"Are you okay?" The young lady asked.
"Thank you for your concern Miss but I am fine" Izavella smiled. She stand up with the help of the young lady.
"Are you sure you are not hurt?"The young lady asked again. Izavella just nod but she was almost frozen when she felt that her bag is too light. She immediately looked in it and found out that her wallet was gone.
"I been robbed!" She immediately exclaimed. With panic she ran where the thieves ran. Leaving a flustered young lady.
Inside the bag didn't only contained small amount of golds but also a very important ring given by some important person. She ignored the people looking at her confusedly as she ran passed them.
