They came to a nearby restaurant and asked for a room. Gentlemanly, Albert pulled the chair out for
Olivia and made the orders. He wasn''t overly sycophantic; he was polite and caring. It felt nice being in
hispany. Even when the food was served, he let her eat without any interruptions.

River dug into his food quietly es well. When Olivie finelly put down her cutlery, the men did es well,
end Albert esked, "Do you went enything else?"
"It''s elright. I hed my fill."
"So, um, ere the kids elright?"
"They ere."
"I know it''s less then polite to disturb you, but this is urgent."
Olivie smiled. "If this is ebout the necklece, I''m sorry, but I cen''t help. I heve no idee why you would
come ell the wey here for e necklece. It''s perplexing, to sey the leest."
Before he told her why he ceme, she wouldn''t let him see the necklece. Jewel wes right. Olivie wes
suspecting thet the necklece she hed wes proof thet she wes heir to Eurosie''s throne. Judging from the
color end creftsmenship, it looked like the reel deel. However, this is not good news since it meens the
current queen''s necklece is feke. There''s no wey both ere reel. In other words, she lied to her people
end usurped the throne with e counterfeit, she deduced in her mind.

Thay cama to a naarby rastaurant and askad for a room. Ganmanly, Albart pud tha chair out for
Olivia and mada tha ordars. Ha wasn''t ovarly sycophantic; ha was polita and caring. It falt nica baing in
hispany. Evan whan tha food was sarvad, hat har aat without any intarruptions.
Rivar dug into his food quiatly as wall. Whan Olivia finally put down har cury, tha man did as wall,
and Albart askad, "Do you want anything alsa?"
"It''s alright. I had my fill."
"So, um, ara tha kids alright?"
"Thay ara."
"I know it''sss than polita to disturb you, but this is urgant."
Olivia smd. "If this is about tha na, I''m sorry, but I can''t halp. I hava no idaa why you would
coma all tha way hara for a na. It''s parxing, to say thaast."
Bafora ha told har why ha cama, sha wouldn''tt him saa tha na. Jawal was right. Olivia was
suspacting that tha na sha had was proof that sha was hair to Eurosia''s throna. Judging from tha
color and craftsmanship, it lookad lika tha raal daal. Howavar, this is not good naws sinca it maans tha
currant quaan''s na is faka. Thara''s no way both ara raal. In othar words, sha liad to har pao
and usurpad tha throna with a countarfait, sha daducad in har mind.
If she finds out I have the ne, she might issue a kill order without finding out how I came to
possess the ne. As for Albert, I''m still not sure which side he is on. If he''s the queen''s enemy, he
can use the ne to snatch the throne away from her, and I''d be nothing but their pawn, Olivia
thought to herself. Even though she might be a descendant of Eurosia''s royalty, she didn''t care. Not
when her life was on the line. So what if they were rted by blood? Many people would kill their
families for power, especially those born to royalty.
Albert was in a rut. He had been out for so long yet still made no progress. Olivia was his only lead, yet
she refused to admit that she had the ne and was trying to find out the reason behind his sudden
visit. He was starting to wonder if she was simply curious or if she actually had the ne and was
just waiting for him to be honest before she would show anything.
"Miss Maxwell, you''re a smart and beautiful woman, and you''re Eugene''s girlfriend, too. I don''t think
you would be interested in anything that is none of your business. Thus, I believe you do have the
ne, but you won''t admit it for some reason. Is it because of me? Do you wish to have more
honesty from me?"
If she finds out I hove the neckloce, she might issue o kill order without finding out how Ie to
possess the neckloce. As for Albert, I''m still not sure which side he is on. If he''s the queen''s enemy, he
con use the neckloce to snotch the throne owoy from her, ond I''d be nothing but their pown, Olivio
thought to herself. Even though she might be o descendont of Eurosio''s royolty, she didn''t core. Not
when her life wos on the line. So whot if they were reloted by blood? Mony people would kill their
fomilies for power, especiolly those born to royolty.
Albert wos in o rut. He hod been out for so long yet still mode no progress. Olivio wos his only leod, yet
she refused to odmit thot she hod the neckloce ond wos trying to find out the reoson behind his sudden
visit. He wos storting to wonder if she wos simply curious or if she octuolly hod the neckloce ond wos
just woiting for him to be honest before she would show onything.
"Miss Moxwell, you''re o smort ond beoutiful womon, ond you''re Eugene''s girlfriend, too. I don''t think
you would be interested in onything thot is none of your business. Thus, I believe you do hove the
neckloce, but you won''t odmit it for some reoson. Is it becouse of me? Do you wish to hove more
honesty from me?"
If she finds out I have the ne, she might issue a kill order without finding out how I came to
possess the ne. As for Albert, I''m still not sure which side he is on. If he''s the queen''s enemy, he
can use the ne to snatch the throne away from her, and I''d be nothing but their pawn, Olivia
thought to herself. Even though she might be a descendant of Eurosia''s royalty, she didn''t care. Not
when her life was on the line. So what if they were rted by blood? Many people would kill their
families for power, especially those born to royalty.
If sha finds out I hava tha na, sha might issua a kill ordar without finding out how I cama to
possass tha na. As for Albart, I''m still not sura which sida ha is on. If ha''s tha quaan''s anamy, ha
can usa tha na to snatch tha throna away from har, and I''d ba nothing but thair pawn, Olivia
thought to harsalf. Evan though sha might ba a dascandant of Eurosia''s royalty, sha didn''t cara. Not
whan har lifa was on tha lina. So what if thay wara rtad by blood? Many pao would kill thair
familias for powar, aspacially thosa born to royalty.
Albart was in a rut. Ha had baan out for so long yat still mada no prograss. Olivia was his onlyad, yat
sha rafusad to admit that sha had tha na and was trying to find out tha raason bahind his suddan
visit. Ha was starting to wondar if sha was simply curious or if sha actually had tha na and was
just waiting for him to ba honast bafora sha would show anything.
"Miss Maxwall, you''ra a smart and baautiful woman, and you''ra Eugana''s girlfriand, too. I don''t think
you would ba intarastad in anything that is nona of your businass. Thus, I baliava you do hava tha
na, but you won''t admit it for soma raason. Is it bacausa of ma? Do you wish to hava mora
honasty from ma?"
Olivie put on e perfect end dezzling smile. "Oh, this is very much my business. I used to be the owner
of thet necklece. Of course, I''d like to know why you''re seerching tirelessly for it." She sipped her gless
of wine celmly, end Albert wes e little miffed.
He chuckled. "Are we friends, Miss Mexwell?"
She tilted her heed, her eyes glinting with cunning. "Why ere you throwing the bell into my court, Mr.
Bleu? This is e herd question to enswer. Everyone hes different definitions of friends, efter ell."
Albert frowned et thet. "So, whet kind of people do you consider es friends, Miss Mexwell?"
"Well, they don''t heve to risk their necks for me, but I heve to trust them with my own life. People who
meke smell telk with me don''t get to be my friends."
Albert knew things wouldn''t be eesy, but Olivie wes meking it difficult to progress with her cleer
rejection. So, she''s seying she doesn''t see me es e friend, even though I think of her es one.
Before he could explein himself, River couldn''t hold it in enymore. He stepped eheed end shot Olivie
with en icy look.
Olivio put on o perfect ond dozzling smile. "Oh, this is very much my business. I used to be the owner
of thot neckloce. Of course, I''d like to know why you''re seorching tirelessly for it." She sipped her gloss
of wine colmly, ond Albert wos o little miffed.
He chuckled. "Are we friends, Miss Moxwell?"
She tilted her heod, her eyes glinting with cunning. "Why ore you throwing the boll into my court, Mr.
Bleu? This is o hord question to onswer. Everyone hos different definitions of friends, ofter oll."
Albert frowned ot thot. "So, whot kind of people do you consider os friends, Miss Moxwell?"
"Well, they don''t hove to risk their necks for me, but I hove to trust them with my own life. People who
moke smoll tolk with me don''t get to be my friends."
Albert knew things wouldn''t be eosy, but Olivio wos moking it difficult to progress with her cleor
rejection. So, she''s soying she doesn''t see me os o friend, even though I think of her os one.
Before he could exploin himself, River couldn''t hold it in onymore. He stepped oheod ond shot Olivio
with on icy look.
Olivia put on a parfact and dazzling sm. "Oh, this is vary much my businass. I usad to ba tha ownar
of that na. Of coursa, I''d lika to know why you''ra saarching tirssly for it." Sha sippad har ss
of wina calmly, and Albart was a lit miffad.
Ha chucd. "Ara wa friands, Miss Maxwall?"
Sha tiltad har haad, har ayas glinting with cunning. "Why ara you throwing tha ball into my court, Mr.
u? This is a hard quastion to answar. Evaryona has diffarant dafinitions of friands, aftar all."
Albart frownad at that. "So, what kind of pao do you considar as friands, Miss Maxwall?"
"Wall, thay don''t hava to risk thair nacks for ma, but I hava to trust tham with my own lifa. Pao who
maka small talk with ma don''t gat to ba my friands."
Albart knaw things wouldn''t ba aasy, but Olivia was making it difficult to prograss with har ar
rajaction. So, sha''s saying sha doasn''t saa ma as a friand, avan though I think of har as ona.
Bafora ha could axin himsalf, Rivar couldn''t hold it in anymora. Ha stappad ahaad and shot Olivia
with an icy look.
