Shane on the side was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He was shocked in his heart: Let me go, you can tell me flowers without preparing a gift. If I didn't know in advance, I would have been fooled by you.
Compared to Shane who was shocked, Irene was still moved by the story just now, which is normal. The story Claire adapted was the story of Romeo and Juliet. It was popular around the world in its previous life, so it naturally has its success.
"Thank you for your gift." Irene lifted up her skirt and gave a slight salute, and said seriously, "I really like this story and this gift."
"Your Highness, just like it." Claire slowly handed over the pendant in his hand.
Unexpectedly, Irene did not reach out to take it. Instead, he lifted up his hair and exposed his snow-white neck. His face was a little shy and rosy, and he said softly, "Please put it on for me."
Claire was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm happy to help."
Then he stepped forward, put his hands around Irene's neck and tied it up. After putting it on, Claire took a step back, looked at Irene in front of him with admiring eyes, and praised, "This pendant fits Your Highness very well, and it looks great on it."
"Thank you!" Irene said sweetly, holding the pendant carefully, looking at it with fondness in his eyes.
Compared to Irene, who was moved by the story, the nobles below did not have any fluctuations in their hearts when they heard Claire's story. The ladies who came with him hid their faces with tears in their eyes.
To them, this is just a story, and they don't know why Princess Irene likes it so much.
After giving away the gifts, Claire followed Shane off the stage, followed by other nobles who wanted to give gifts.
After walking downstairs, Shane poked Claire's waist with his arm and whispered, "It's really yours. The gift you gave me is probably Irene's favorite gift today."
"Fortunately, I'm just better at telling stories." Claire said modestly.
"Oh, right." Claire suddenly remembered something, and took out another pink crystal the size of a fingertip from Spatial Ring and handed it to Shane. This one was much smaller than the one Irene was wearing around his neck, but Shane still recognized at a glance that they were made of the same material.
"Do you still have that crystal?"
"Yes, and there are a lot of them." Claire squeezed the pink crystal between his fingers into crumbs with a little force, then gently twisted the crystal crumbs into powder and dissipated into the air.
"After today, we Tulip Shop can have one more product."
Shane's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "How much inventory do you still have?"
"Endless." Claire blew the pink powder on his fingers, "The important thing is that I only have it in my hand, not anywhere else."
"How much do you plan to sell it for?"
"A gem that symbolizes love, can make people meet the right one, a gift from Cupid, the favorite gift received at Princess Irene's birthday party..." Claire kept adding up.
Shane's eyes became brighter and brighter. He stopped Claire and said, "Stop talking, I understand!"
"No! You don't understand." Claire said, "It's not yet time. I suddenly thought of a good idea. I can sell it at a higher price later if I market it well."
"Okay, let's talk about it then."
After the banquet, Shane followed his father, and Claire followed Sophia back to her carriage.
As soon as he got in the car, Sophia asked, "Has the business deal been concluded?"
Claire nodded, "Thanks to you, madam, they are all happy to do business with you."
"Needless to say such polite words, if you tell me about the mermaid, they will be eager to invest more money."
Claire shook his head, "It's not good if too many people know about this kind of thing."
Indeed, if too many people know that the story of "Mermaid" is marketed, the value will be greatly reduced.
Suddenly Sophia changed the subject and asked, "The gift you gave Irene was quite thoughtful."
Claire squinted his eyes and looked over, wondering what this woman meant. Could it be that she was jealous? Do you think the gift you gave her is not as good as Princess Irene's?
Forget it, let her have her way.
"Madam, I stayed up all day and all night to design your costume... and the story I gave to Princess Irene only took a few minutes to make up."
Sure enough, after listening to Claire's words, Sophia's eyes turned into crescents with a smile.
"It turns out that the gift you gave is a story, and the pink crystal is just an accessory."
"That is the product that our store will release next time. If Madam likes it, I will give you a piece when it comes out." Claire said calmly.
"Products?" Sophia's eyes widened slightly, "I noticed that you have to tell a new story every time you release a new product."
Claire spread his hands, "Isn't business just about telling stories?"
Sophia lifted his chin and leaned towards Claire, "Sell it to me too, and we'll split it 30-70."
Claire shook his head and sighed, "Oh, I think so too, but the output of this crystal is extremely low, so it can only be used exclusively for Tulip Shop in the Wangdu. But don't worry, I will definitely send a piece to Madam when it goes on sale." This business is not volume-based at all, and the profit is too big, and he doesn't want to give the other party a share of the pie.
Sophia also had a trace of sadness on her face. She could predict that this pink crystal would definitely earn a high profit.
Then he continued to ask, "Can this crystal really help people find their own love?"
Claire raised his eyes and looked over. He didn't understand why Sophia would ask such a question. Logically speaking, this kind of thing was not something she should consider.
Sophia saw the meaning in Claire's eyes, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said, "What? Do you think I will be like those little girls and still believe in love?"
"No." Claire denied, "You are so rich, how could you lack such a thing?"
"Oh? Do you think money can buy love?" Sophia asked with interest.
Claire stretched out his index finger and shook it a few times, then said softly, "No, money cannot buy love, it will only give you love."
Sophia was stunned for a moment, then smiled so brightly that he couldn't breathe, "Hahaha! I like your answer very much."
Claire smiled slightly and did not lose his composure like the other party. He continued, "But my crystal does have the effect of helping people find love."
Crystal has the effect of amplifying people's inner emotions. Even Isaac and High Mage will be affected. If worn on the body, when you have a good impression of someone, it will amplify the other person's good impression, give her courage when she is hesitant, and increase the chance of the two of them being together.
Many times, there is just a lack of courage and opportunity, and the two people lose the chance to be together.
What? You said you confessed your love but were rejected? That means the other person is not your Mr. Right! If you keep waiting, you will get there one day.
"Then is the crystal you gave me bigger than Princess Irene's, or not as big as Princess Irene's?" Sophia asked in return.
