He smiled at her. "Very well then. I shall let you have your secrets, but I still wish to propose something to you. You see, I am driven by a profound desire for the two greatest things this world has to offer." As he spoke, he poured her a glass of wine, offering it to her. "Jewels and knowledge, my dear. They are the only things in this life worth pursuing. Jewels are the most lustrous and beautiful of all things, and knowledge is what makes life bearable, otherwise it would be an endless tedium of boredom that would be hardly worth living. My desire in life is to acquire all of the gems and jewels I am able, through whatever means necessary, and to spend the rest of my life learning and discovering as much interesting knowledge that I can."
