Golden Empress Novels & Stories

An engagement ring that wasn’t your average everyday traditional ring. “Do you have anything that isn’t in your traditional yellow or white gold?” “Yes, sir, right over here,” she says, escorting me to another display case off to the side. After scanning over the selection of rings, a three ct. Princess cut diamond set in a black gold band caught my eye. Glistening emeralds circled the beautiful diamond. Harper’s birthstone is Emerald, and green is one of her favorite colors. This ring had Harper’s name written all over it.

Compared to this, the other emeralds that he got were not even worth mentioning. Simultaneously, the happenings on the ground floor had immediately spread via word of mouth to the other floors of the Golden Tower. It was said that someone had bought dozens of ores, and every single ore was in the green, and the guy had gotten almost a billion from it! The rumor exploded almost instantly, and countless people rushed to the ground floor from the areas they were in, and soon it was packed like sardines, everyone pushing and fighting their way in to inquire whether it was real or not.

Emily exclaimed, completely shocked to encounter one of her crushes in person. Emily was a devoted fan of the six precious gems in Elite, knowing their names and their stories, basically everything about them. But her biggest crush was Thorian, which worried me, as he was also nearby, though he hadn't noticed her yet. "You know me?" Lukas asked nervously, chuckling a bit and running his fingers through his hair, seeming a tad shy. "Of course, I know you! Who doesn't know the six precious gems of Elite?" Emily's voice was filled with excitement and curiosity, likely wondering why he was here.

Five years of silence is a long time for some, but for me, it was the sound of progress. Chaos Valley was no longer just a hidden sanctuary between two mountains; it was a global phenomenon. I had expanded the territory, acquiring the surrounding foothills and turning the rugged peaks of the Twin Sentinels into the most lucrative mining operation in the hemisphere. We didn’t just pull gold from the earth; we pulled rare iridescent gems that fueled my private jewelry line, Silversmith.

However, when she showed one dress to a participant who just signed herself up for disqualification, the other ladies also came and surrounded her. “Do tell your friends that I still have a lot to sell. I will be just right here,” Emery said. “We will come back!” the others replied with much enthusiasm. And with that being said, even before the sun had set that day, Emery could not believe her eyes as she gazed upon the gold coins she had collected. It was so much more than she actually expected so a lot of plans started running through her mind before returning to Colsier. Just as she was done cleaning up, she saw the emperor and his most trusted knight walking towards her direction.

"Shane, I need you to promise to kee my secret." "I'll take it to the grave, my lady." "Your crew?" "If they speak a word, they'll die." "Shane?" "Look, I'm sure our paths will cross agian." She went to say something else when Marvin walke throught the door. "Pardon me, captain, but it appears that The Emerald took much more significant damage than we did."

“A-A black gem?” Old madam Eleanor stammered, her voice laced with a mixture of shock and disbelief. The black gem was a special gem that could only be used by crown families and scepter families. Each family possessed a gem of different color, but only the Crown Families were permitted to carry the black one. It was used as a type of warning for their target to comply with whatever the holder wanted. Disobeying the orders was no different from declaring yourself an enemy of the entire family. And if Ashley was holding one now, then it could only mean she was telling the truth. Miss Beaumont had indeed sent her in her place.

If the winner was not Aiden, they should not bother to wait for her to come back. * * * "Crystal, is that you?!" Crystal took a deep breath and then turned around, looking at a beautiful woman with dark brown hair in a black dress with red accents and a high slit. Samantha Emerald Ederd, the main heir to the Emerald family — one of the diamond suppliers for Inquiereta. Crystal gave her a small smile, although Samantha had delayed her 'escape' plan after she had successfully managed to escape from Xavier and Javier's watch. "Ah, Sam! Are you coming too?"

he instructed as he opened a bottle of wine and poured it into two gold goblets. I washed my hands gladly. Gold and gemstones were, surprisingly, filthy. “Why is the gold so dirty?” I asked him as I joined him at the table. “Coins pass through many hands,” he replied. “Before they enter a dragon’s hoard.” “Being left lying around on the floor probably doesn’t help, either.” I sliced a piece of the meat. “It’s almost as if the dragon finds no value in it. His books are in pristine order in the library, but the precious gems are crushed underfoot.” I had discretely removed the shards of the two stones I had destroyed underfoot and had been relieved to find they were not the only two to experie
