Chapter 1 (6)

She couldn't tear her eyes away from the mesmerizing gems, as if they held her in an enchanting spell, tempting her attention, mildly whispering, "Don't look away." However, in grim contrast, a man demanded attention nearby, frantically waving his hands; his voice thundered, "Thief! Thief!"

Amber with her ever-watchful eyes for criminal activities, locked onto this commotion. Her gaze honed in on the fleeing thief attempting to meld into the crowd.

Like an eagle tracking its prey across an empty desert, her keen eyes followed every serpentine twist and turn of the thief's head, swimming across the crowd like a shark's dorsal fin slicing through the water's surface. Her eagle eyes fixated intently on the unsuspecting prey, and in an instant, its head plunged into the ocean.

The moment Amber caught a glimpse of Nia's beautiful face, shock rippled across her features. Amber, holding Nia's hand—once with a firm grip like a crocodile's bite—now trembled like the legs of a newborn fawn. Amber's eyes paused in time. Her heart raced, her ear went numb, her whole body felt frozen in a winter cloud as the world around them blurred into a wintry fog.

Looking at Nia's lustrous sapphire eyes, her senses puzzled, "How could she possibly be the thief when she possessed the most captivating gem as her eyes that far surpassed the Winterflar elegance?"
