Go back? There's no going back.

However, the princess had already retracted her gaze and once again stared quietly at the small box in her hand.

Until that tune-out, earthy song finished playing.

Celsia silently reached out her hand and pulled out the small piece of paper that was placed under the two rings in the box.

——I wish you two a happy marriage and a love stronger than gold!

——If you are satisfied with the romantic effect this product brings you, please use the magic contact device to log in to our virtual store and leave a good comment, and you will receive a cashback of 30 silver coins later.

'You call this romantic? ? '

Looking at the words above, Su Wei silently clenched his fists.

Beside him, her eyes also swept over the crooked words above, and Celsia turned her head again and looked at him.

"This, you originally...really didn't intend to give it to someone?"

At this moment, the expression on the princess's face was somewhat complicated for some reason, and even the eyes that had become slightly gentle not long ago... were becoming stern again little by little.

"No, I have no such plan at all."

Hearing this, Su Wei immediately shook his head vigorously: "And I just said that even if I want to give you a gift, I will definitely want to give it to you first."

"……Yeah."

Perhaps it was because Su Wei’s answer this time was satisfactory, the princess in front of him fell silent for a moment.

"And what are you going to do with this now?"

After a while, the tone of the empire's first princess became gentle again. She looked at the pair of rings quietly displayed in the box and asked Su Wei this.

“…Please wait a moment. Let me take a look.”

When asked this question, Su Wei seemed to be thinking about something.

Soon, he tentatively reached out his hand, took out the ring, and studied it carefully.

Then, he was greatly disappointed.

He originally thought that there might be something special about these two rings.

However, this thing was different from what he expected. It was not a valuable material, nor was it a magic weapon.

Just a pair of junk.

...Yes, in this box that was said to be worth thirty gold coins in total, the last item... was scrap.

Su Wei suddenly felt his blood pressure rising.

The box looks beautifully packaged, but in fact its price is not even worth a few silver coins.

A large pile of broken fireworks whose total value might not even be worth a silver coin.

A disposable micro sound storage device worth at most three or five silver coins.

And the last two are good-looking but useless, not even magic weapons, just decorative pieces of scrap metal...

All these things together cost thirty gold coins?

Are gold coins so easy to get nowadays?

Su Wei thought hard and found that there seemed to be no other option except to throw these things into the trash can where they belonged.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect the things in here... to be so outrageous."

After a moment's silence, Su Wei sighed speechlessly and prepared to throw the box away.

In fact, just like in Su Wei’s previous life, on this continent, ornaments such as rings are also given many special meanings.

However, the rings that other people can wear are all genuine magic weapons.

There are even quasi-sacred artifacts.

In comparison, this pair of useless scrap metal in the box can't possibly take up the space of someone else's finger, right?

As for giving these two things to the princess and letting her wear them?

That is an absolute insult and blasphemy!

Thinking of this, Su Wei became more determined. After he returned, he would accompany a flower shop owner on a tour to the gendarmerie.

But at this moment, Su Wei's hand movements suddenly paused.

Because, he happened to notice out of the corner of his eye that, unlike him who had a look of disgust on his face, the princess next to him for some reason... was staring at the ring in his hand in a trance.

……Um?

Su Wei blinked and remained silent for a moment. He carefully moved the hand holding the ring a few centimeters to the left.

Almost at the same time, the princess's gaze... also moved slightly.

……Um? ?

Noticing this scene, Su Wei was stunned.

Soon, he realized something.

Although I don't quite understand, the princess next to him seems... to be a little interested in these wastes?

……real or fake?

"Are you going to throw them away?"

At this time, the princess came to her senses and suddenly looked at Su Wei and asked.

"Well, that's what I planned."

After answering this subconsciously, thinking of the princess's strange reaction just now, Su Wei looked at the rings in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and added tentatively: "But I also feel that the shape of this pair of rings... seems to be pretty good?"

This sentence is true.

Although the raw materials are cheap and they are essentially just two meaningless pieces of industrial waste, the appearance of this pair of rings is quite good.

I think this is one of the reasons why some unscrupulous boss dares to set such a high price.

"……Um."

After hearing the second half of Su Wei's words, the princess was silent for a moment and nodded slightly: "I think so too, they look... quite nice. It seems a pity to just throw them away like this."

"..."

Hearing this, Su Wei fell silent.

In the silent silence, Su Wei's brain was working at high speed.

After a moment, he vaguely guessed something, looked at the First Princess beside him, and said uncertainly: "Well, if you like, then... keep both of them?"

"Leave both?"

However, after hearing Su Wei's proposal, the First Princess suddenly turned her head and stared at him with a somewhat unhappy look: "Have you ever seen anyone wearing two identical rings on their hands?"

"Uh……"

Su Wei froze when he was suddenly stared at by an oppressive gaze.

He felt a slight chill down his spine. As the princess stared at him in silence, he thought for a moment and tried to change the way he phrased it: "Then, you and I, one for each?"

"unnecessary."

However, the princess just snorted, as if she was displeased with Su Wei's hesitant reaction, and she didn't even look at him anymore: "You were so disgusted just now, if you don't want to wear it, don't force it."

"No, just now was just now, and now is now."

Seeing this, Su Wei's scalp tingled a little, and he quickly said, "I would love to wear the same ring as you, Princess."

After saying this, Su Wei no longer hesitated, picked up one of the rings and put it on his finger.

Then, he tentatively handed the remaining ring to the princess.

But, after a brief silence, the princess did not accept it, nor did she speak again.

Just as Su Wei was feeling confused and his right hand was awkwardly frozen in the air, the First Princess in front of him raised her hand and stretched it in front of him.

"...?"

Looking at the white jade-like hand with slender knuckles in front of him, Su Wei was stunned for a moment, and soon realized what he should do.

Taking a deep breath, he held the ring and reached out to the princess' hand.

But at this moment, a somewhat serious doubt... emerged in Su Wei's mind.

...By the way, which finger is better to wear it on?

Although he knew that the ring worn on each finger had different meanings, Su Wei had never had a deep understanding of such things, either in his previous life or in this life.

No, after all, it's just an ornament that's not even a magic weapon. It shouldn't make much difference which finger you wear it on, right?

After pondering for a moment, Su Wei let out a long sigh and tried to put the ring on the princess's little finger.

Although he didn't quite understand, Su Wei felt that this piece of scrap metal was not suitable to be worn on the other more conspicuous fingers, and it would be more appropriate to wear it on the little finger...

"what?"

But the next second, as a voice with obvious coldness came to his ears, Su Wei's hands suddenly froze.

"Change it."

Hearing these words, Su Wei raised his head and met the cold eyes of the princess.

"……OK."

Su Wei nodded repeatedly.

Next, under the calm gaze of the princess, he hesitated for a moment, picked up the ring again, and moved it closer to the princess's middle finger with some trepidation...

"..."

His heart was beating rapidly until the ring passed through his fingertips little by little and was finally firmly put on his knuckles. Su Wei finally stopped hearing the princess' dissatisfied voice.

He also breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

A few moments.

"...Then, Princess, I will go back first."

Standing at the entrance, Su Wei lowered his head slightly and took the initiative to say goodbye to the First Princess in front of him.

At this moment, the rain outside has stopped.

People who don't belong here are naturally not suitable to stay here any longer.

"Oh, by the way, I'm returning this to you. Thank you very much..."

As if he suddenly remembered something, Su Wei looked down at the small blanket still wrapped around him and subconsciously wanted to take it off.

"…It's so cold outside, you want to drink the cold wind again?"

But the next second, Su Wei heard the princess's slightly lowered voice.

"It's okay, the rain has stopped..."

Su Wei paused and said this subconsciously.

"The rain has gone, but the wind is still here, so put it on well."

The middle and index fingers of her left hand unconsciously pressed the ring on her right hand. Celsia quietly looked at the kid in front of her whose shirt was still a little wet: "You can return the blanket next time you come."

"……what?"

Hearing this, Su Wei was stunned.

Will there...will there be a next time?

He always felt that by taking the initiative to come and see the princess this time, he was almost using up all his courage for the next few years.

"Why, you hate coming here?"

Taking in Su Wei's reaction, the Empire's No. 1 tilted his head and asked with gentle eyes.

"No... I like it here very much."

With a slightly awkward expression on his face, Su Wei immediately shook his head.

"...Do you want to let Elsie take you back?"

After a moment of silence, Celsia suddenly asked.
