Chapter 1667


    Vivian didn''t understand.


    However, she had been captivated by some tiny bell ornamentsying among the other jewelry.


    "How much is this?" she asked while gesturing with her hands.


    "Very cheap! One for ten of these."


    Elysians were simple and honest people.


    One of them smiled bashfully and raised his index finger at Vivian.Oh? One hundred per piece?


    Beaming, she grabbed a handful of silver beads as her other hand rummaged through her little purse.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    She then took out arge currency and handed it over.


    The Elysian man was speechless.


    "Why? Is it not enough?" asked Vivian.


    Having grown up in such afortable environment, the young girl clearly had no concept of money.


    Even while studying abroad in Yartran, everything she bought would cost hundreds.


    Thankfully, a royal guard hurried over to rify the situation.


    "These items don''t cost that much, Princess.He meant that it''s one for ten of these beads, not a


    hundred for each one."


    "Huh?" It was Vivian''s turn to be taken aback.


    Then, her face instantly flushed as she kept the money and began to search her purse for some


    smaller change.


    "Mr.Guard, I don''t have any small change.What should I do?"


    The guard was stunned by her sweet voice.


    On top of that, she even addressed him so affectionately.


    Feeling the heat in his ears, the man quickly handed a small sum of money to the tribe member and left


    in a hurry, afraid that he would suffer the same fate as Lucy if he were to remain here any longer.


    After getting her beads, Vivian noticed the foreigners were now in the midst of business negotiations


    with the tribe members.


    Thus, she found a ce to sit before taking out the beads and some thread.


    Look at how pretty these tiny bells are! I''m going to turn them into bracelets and give them to my


    friends.


    "This is for Sonia.This one''s for Mona.Hmm...And this one—"


    "Hmm? What are you mumbling about, Miss?"


    While Vivian sat alone on a stone b making her bracelets and mastering her friends’ names, a little


    girl seemingly younger than her suddenly appeared from behind.


    With a pair of twinkling eyes, she watched in amazement as Vivian swiftly turned a handful of beads


    into a gorgeous-looking bracelet.


    Where did this pretty little girle from? She looks adorable! Speechless by her facial features,


    Vivian couldn''t stop staring at the child.


    "Who are you?"


    "I''m Nina! I came over from there.That''s a really nice bracelet you have there, Miss.Can I have one


    too?"


    The child appeared to be seven or eight and spoke eloquently.


    However, what surprised Vivian most was the fact that she spoke fluent Chanaean.I can understand


    what she''s saying! "Sure, but how are you able to speak mynguage?"


    "My uncle taught me."


    "Your uncle? He can speak Chanaean too? Who is he?"


    "Uh..." The child fell into silence.


    So did Vivian.Forget it.I mean, she''s probably only eight.Thinking that, she began to make another


    bracelet.


    When she was done, Vivian held it up and looped it around the girl''s hand.


    "Do you like it?"


    "I do" The child grinned with delight.


    Vivian thought she would leave right away, but thetter knelt beside her and grabbed her hand when


    no one else was paying attention to them.


    "Come on.Let''s go eat something yummy"


    "Huh?" Vivian was astonished.


    In just a couple of minutes, the two girls disappeared into the unknown while the adults carried on with


    negotiations.


    It was only when they were about to discuss some contract and deposit-rted matters—something


    even the chief didn''t understand—that they realized Vivian had gone missing.


    "That''s weird.Where did Ms.Hayes go?"


    "You''re right.Wasn''t she just here a while ago? Where is she?"


    "What are you waiting for? Find her at once!"


    AS soon as someone fumed, the entire entourage broke out in a cold sweat and began searching for


    Vivian.


    To their surprise, they found her squatting beside a little girl under a family''s roof as she munched on a


    large roasted chicken drumstick.


    "Is it yummy?" asked Nina.


    "Yeah, it is.But are you sure it''s okay for us to steal someone else''s chicken? Should we leave them


    some money?"


    Despite enjoying the chicken drumstick, Vivian still felt guilty and was about to take some money out of


    her purse.


    The little girl refused.


    "Oh, don''t you worry about that! A chicken doesn''t even cost that much.We can just pluck some wild


    fruits from the mountains in return."


    Wild fruits? Are fruits worth more than a chicken? The crowd watched in shock as the naive young


    woman fell for the words of a child who was practically ten years younger than her.


    Who knew how many more lies she would believe if they hadn''t shown up in time?
