No Longer The Marquess' Wife
Episode 6 : Keep your Eyes
Talia
I apologize! We have been deep in the conversation and yet I forgot to introduce myself.
She said as she looked at him from behind.
Noah
Talia... I see. I am Noah, a mage and the owner of this booth without a name.
Likewise, Noah introduced himself and faced Talia holding a small purple box.
Noah
Okay then Talia, look at this thing I'm holding.
Noah
About what I have said before, I came to fetch this thing.
Talia silently listened and took a glance at the box wondering what could be inside it.
Noah
I just thought it would be better for you to keep your eyes as it is.
Noah
While, eye trade is not so bad for your "new life" and I could totally perform an eye transplant with magic... these turquoise eyes are important.
Talia
It doesn't matter to me, if these eyes are important for you why not have it?
Noah gave out a defeated sigh.
Noah
You won't understand.
Just as Talia was about to react in retaliation...
Noah opened the case of the purple box he was holding in his hands.
Talia
What... this thing...?!
That small box revealed a piece of jewelry with a gemstone in the middle.
But it was no ordinary jewelry with a precious stone.
Talia
Uh... I may have to tell you that I'm married.
Suddenly awkwardness filled the dimly lit room.
Talia and Noah who only saw a faint picture of each other's faces a while ago could now see each other clearly face to face.
It was due to the fact that Noah ignited the flames of all the lamps in the room with his fingers.
Noah
I'm sorry to disappoint you but this is one of my magical products.
Talia froze upon hearing those words and started turning red out of embarassment.
Noah
You've got quite the imagination.
It was a critical hit of embarrassment where Talia felt like digging a hole and hiding herself in, she bowed her head as an apology.
Noah stared at her for a minute and snorted. He ended up laughing so hard for a minute.
Noah
Just why are you so haha serious... hahaha
Talia who's head was bowed to the mage sighed and smiled it off.
She realized it was not worth getting serious over and...
that she is no longer married.
Noah
Ah geez, that reminds me I haven't had a good laugh in a while.
The mage quickly changed his expression after talking and he went back to business.
He casted a spell around the room with a wave of his right hand and the room's walls gave a light green glow which faded right after.
Noah
Pay no mind that's just some sound blocking spell.
The mage then waved his other hand to fetch a circle wooden chair and placed it in front of counter.
Noah
For confidential transactions. Here have a seat.
Noah placed the box with the jewelry in front of Talia and sat himself facing her.
Noah
Now, should we talk about this "ring"?
