Amalia secretly breathed a sigh of relief and handed the gem to Livia.
"Of course."
To servants, these jewels adorning luxurious clothing were indeed expensive, but for a royal like Livia, born into nobility and free from worries about food, clothing, or other expenses, her standards were naturally higher.
Amalia had been most concerned that Livia would look down on the bargaining chip she offered.
Since the other party expressed a desire to examine the gem closely, it meant her offering was at least acceptable at first glance.
Livia took the gem and inspected it carefully, though her true focus was on silently pondering its significance.
The gem was completely transparent, free of any impurities. It felt cool and smooth in her palm, a pleasant sensation.
But Livia couldn't shake the feeling that she had seen this gem somewhere before...
After searching her memory thoroughly, she couldn't pinpoint the source of this familiarity.
