Losing the soul pearl on Ashedore’s 1000th anniversary was not as painful as the killing of his mother, the queen, in cold blood. Filled with rage, Zale must set out of the four seas on a journey to retrieve the soul pearl and enact his revenge. What he wasn’t expecting was the beguiling turn of events that the human world would bring. Pearl, a lively young maiden in Noterra, with hidden powers is ostracized by her peers and lives a calm life with her parents. She comes across a handsome stranger in need of direction and as their paths continue to cross, she falls in love with him. However, she soon finds out that not all glitter brings good tidings. Along with his coming, her life is thrown into a chaotic and painful adventure, one more than she could ever imagine. Losing all she has ever loved, Pearl sticks to Zale and joins him on his mission. In the bid to get back the soul pearl, Zale and Pearl’s fate are entangled with love blooming and transcending amidst the clash of swords, betrayal, conspiracies and secrets. Left with a heritage that would change her fate, Zale’s painful revenge and a choice that endangers her very life, what decisions would Pearl make and what cruel fate awaits her for the choices made? ***Excerpt*** "Ah!" She yelped when she suddenly felt his body slide over her back and his semi-hard on land between her buttock cheeks. Fear erupted inside her as he cast his shadow over her. "Until when are you going to pretend and hide from me, my pearl?" His husky voice drew out close to her ear as he bit on top of her ear. Instinctively she bit her lips, feeling pleasure beginning to rise in her body. "Pearl." He licked the bite mark before kissing her neck, moving down to her shoulder and back, leaving small love bites in his wake. Noticing she had failed to cover herself in front of him, she attempted to do so but stopped halfway and let her hands down when he gave his order. "Stop hiding from me. I want to see you and touch you." She exhaled sharply. "Why do you keep on running?" "Y-you…" She hesitated but when he covered her left breast with his hand, giving a light squeeze, she moaned forgetting it all. "Tell me." His lips found her neck once more, leaving Pearl weak from the pleasure. "You said not to touch you," she managed to let out. He chuckled lightly and turned her in his arms so she was facing him. "I did, so?" "You…" He captured her lips, kissing her deeply before giving her a chance to catch her breath. "I did for your good." ************* Disclaimer: Cover Not Mine Read-only on WEBNOVEL ––––––––––– Discord server: http//discord.gg/BH666ZK Instagram: baevidaa Discord: BaeVida#7167 Youtube: https://youtube.com/channel/UC25S69WOTLDlvpL8GGjwi_A

CHAPTER 42 – The Prince's Visit
All through the previous night till the evening of the next day, Scarlet kept to herself, thinking of ways to make her mother simply pay for what she had done.
As much as one could call it a rebellious phase, she did not care one bit about what that could attribute to her.
To her, she was already lost as it was. She lost Zale whom she hoped would bring joy into her life and now this?
She shook her head and moved towards the big mirror on her dressing table as she gently took a seat on the chair.
Thanks to the fact that her mother changed her maid, she did not have Azadel help her with dressing up and the other girl was too much of a scaredy cat.
She could not blame anyone. Having seen what the queen did to her culprits was reason enough to make them behave that way.
Like a timid rat, the young maid walked over to where she was and leaned in to pick a comb from the dresser.
