CharacteristicsEdit

According to Nagi, (it is implied her mother taught her this in the past) it is known as the stone of bonds, and that it was a stone of wishes made by a king a long time ago using the power of the stars. It is also known as a stone of prayers that test greed and that the stone gives shape to strong feelings of wanting to protect and save someone even at the cost of his/her own life. (Chapter 231)

PowersEdit

The stone is very mysterious, and little is known about this stone but it holds some kind of mystic power. It is said that whoever wields it will be "in a deep test of greed and endless badluck cursing his/her life". Hayate received the stone from Mikado, and probably is the source of Hayate's endless badluck in his entire life. The other characters who are shown to wear the stone are Aika Kasumi and Mikado Sanzenin but Yukariko is shown to wear it in her picture.The stone has a very bad enigmating aura that takes form as a small skeleton with purple dark aura surrounding it.

HistoryEdit

According to Maria (In chapter 199), the stone is a legenday treasure of Sanzenin family from the beginning of their era, and there are approximately 9 stones so far. In the past Mikado Sanzenin gave things to people he cared about, the king jewels were one of those things as it could be shown in flashback that he gave 1 to Aika Kasumi and another to Hayate Ayasaki.

Only a few people including Isumi is shown to have seen the stone's powers. Isumi is capable of erasing Hayate's stone powers, however it is limited to only the evil aura surrounding the stone as the test is still cursing Hayate's life.

Mikado Sanzenin declares that whoever destroys Hayate's particular stone will be the heir of the Sanzenin estate, as well as obtaining all of Nagi's riches. As a result Hayate has come into conflict before while trying to protect the stone for Nagi's sake. (Chapter 225) Few antagonists like Athena are willing to obtain it by any means necessary, in order to attain the estate or just for their own agenda.

Uniquely, Hayate's stone is shown to have a stronger power than the rest. Probably because of his serious badluck from the beginning of the story, making him the "the unluckiest person in the universe". Nagi destroys it of her own will in chapter 252.

It is later revealed in (Chapter 262) that 10 years ago Hayate picked up a King's Jewel during Christmas eve. It is implied this was the doing of Mikado Sanzenin as he appeared in Hayate's dream dressed as Santa and told him that it was his stone but he already had 8 of them so he didn't mind losing one of them. Some point later Hayate placed the stone inside a shrine charm then forgot about it later on, thus explaining how he managed to enter the Royal Garden. He later gives the stone to his Brother Ikusa who in return enters the Royal Garden to save Athena.

Later on while cleaning the Mystery Room where the coffin was held formely, Hayate remarks that one of the crest on the floor appeared in the king's jewel (presumably the one he was given) He observes that there are 12 crests in total and inferred that there are 12 King's Jewel in total.
