Gu Shengyin was lost in her thoughts when Royd returned.
She noticed that Royd seemed to be holding something in his hand.
He walked over to the table, sat down, and then pushed the item in his hand toward Gu Shengyin.
It was a very exquisite little box, seemingly made of gold, adorned with many large gemstones.
Rather than being a container, it looked more like a delicate piece of art.
Royd looked at Gu Shengyin with a somewhat urging expression, as if wanting her to open it right away.
Gu Shengyin was curious about what could be inside such a delicate box.
She put down her folding fan and placed her hand on the clasp. With a "click," the box opened.
Gu Shengyin had imagined it might hold an exquisite work of art, perhaps precious stones or beautiful jewelry.
But it was none of these. Inside the little box was a whole box neatly filled with honor badges, crafted of gold, glimmering brilliantly in the sunshine.
This is...?
Gu Shengyin looked at Royd in some astonishment.
