To free his beloved Liling, kidnapped by a powerful religious sect, the skilled pearl fisherman Kaj kills one of the men of the sect and is sentenced to forced labor in the penitentiary on the island of Kapuyan. The only possibility to get Liling back is to recover the famous and revered "Red Pearl", of extraordinary beauty, stolen from a sacred temple and ended up on the seabed. A spectacular escape, will lead Kaj to live dangerous misadventures to recover the pearl and free his beloved, pursued by a treacherous and dangerous fellow in prison.

Pearl is a girl who is very ambitious and righteous ..... Horus who can go up to any extent to fulfill his wishes and desires....when they met Horus falls in love with pearl for her beautiful face and for her never gave up spirit .....he did all the things to get close to the girl but he failed..then he take a step in his own style but it made pearl to lost her innocence....let's see what destiny kept for both of them..


"So what exactly was stolen?" the constable asked with a sleepish tone. It was evident that he clearly wasn't focused on listening.

"Um…" Pearl didn't know how to describe the vessel and he doubted that the constable would know what a macana was, "It's a wooden decor, like a baton but very large, about this size I suppose," he gave an estimate by spreading his arms, "It also has some obsidian work on the edges so that's a little distinguishing feature."

"Alright," the constable noted with a yawn, "And who was it stolen by?"

"A Veshaari kid," Pearl said, "Probably twelve or thirteen years old, extremely short hair, and about this height."

"One-fifth of the city's population is Veshaari," the constable informed, "The convict would be quite difficult to locate, but we will see what we can do. Do you have permanent lodging in town?"

"No." Pearl answered.

"Okay," the constable noted, "Then please return tomorrow...somewhere around morning."

Pearl nodded and walked out of the city-guard station. The city-guard in Kanark was a medium sized but severely ill-maintained organisation that was usually spread too thin due to the incredible amount of streets and squares they had to patrol. As a result many of the larger businesses preferred maintaining their own personal security force, which unfortunately didn't deal in solving crimes.

"Did we gain anything from coming here?" Rel asked.

"We will have to wait and find out." Pearl replied.

"No," Rel protested, "The answer is no. This was a waste of time…"

"Hey, traveller," A guard standing by the door called out to Pearl, "I heard your case."

"You did?" Pearl turned, "Do you know where I can find the boy or my stolen possession?"

"No, I don't," the guard replied, "But if I were you I wouldn't depend on us, the city-guard, for finding either of those two."

"That's quite self-deprecating of you," Pearl noted.

"It is what it is."

"Then what am I supposed to do?" Pearl asked.

"There is a grey market in the backside of the Forge district," The guard told, "If the thief has any experience or common wit, that's where he would head to sell your...whatever it was that he stole from you."

"A grey market, that makes sense." Pearl realised, "Thanks for the advice."

"It's the least I can do." The guard said, "It's also the only useful thing I can do. Yeah, that's really self-deprecating of me. Well, good luck traveller. I hope you get your stuff back."

"Thanks again." Pearl said, and then headed for the grey market.

After scouring through the shops for about an hour, Pearl had begun losing hope. Most of the shops refused to entertain his questions if he wasn't interested in buying anything, and those that did allow him to ask about didn't know anything useful.

"Don't you think we should find Era first?" Pearl asked Rel, "What is she doing anyway?"

"I don't know," Rel told him, "It isn't important anyway. Retrieving my vessel should be our top priority."

"You can see how well that is going." Pearl taunted.

"Never give in to despair, my boy," Rel encouraged, "Take your inquiry to the next shop. We can surely hope to find something worthwhile there."

Pearl acknowledged weakly and entered the shop. It was an average sized earthen building, the kind that were quite common in the vicinity, with two floors, the lower one for conducting business while the one above for lodging. This shop seemed to deal in a rather wide spectrum of product, since on one corner Pearl saw an embroidered rug, while on one of the shelves he saw a miniature bronze figurine. The shopkeeper here was a Nanar man, which gave Pearl hope that he was more likely to cooperate.

"Greetings," Pearl said in Narlspeech, "I have some questions. I was hoping you could answer them for me."

"Oh, I apologize for not noticing you," the shopkeeper said, looking up from his ledgers, "A kinsman! Of course, you spoke in our native tongue, my apologies again. How can I help you?"

"I am looking for a wooden article," Pearl said, "Are you familiar with the term 'makana'?"

"No, but I think I know what you are looking for." The shopkeeper said, "Is it a war-club with stone ornamentation?"

"You have it?!" Pearl's voice raised a bit.

"No, no, I don't deal with armaments, even the decorative ones," the shopkeeper told, "But I can tell you...hold on, is that a Nanar Khukri?" he said, looking at the curved shortsword tied on the back of Pearl's bag. It was the one that he and Eranae had received in Nanaril.

"Yes," Pearl said slowly.

"You are a lifesinger!" the shopkeeper realised, "Why is your hair unbraided?"

"Because I didn't have the time to braid it." Pearl replied, "About the makana…"

"Sorry to interrupt," the shopkeeper said, "But I would like to buy the Khukri from you. What would you like to trade it for?"

"Didn't you just say that you didn't deal in arms?" Pearl reminded.

"It's different for the Khukri," the shopkeeper said, "Wait, I have the perfect thing for you."

He ran into the interior of his shop and returned with a large egg-shaped crystalline object. It seemed to be made out of amber.

"A songseed," Rel noticed, "I thought humans had forgotten how to make those half a thousand years ago. It must be really old then."

"What is a songseed?" Pearl asked her.

"This, sir lifesinger, is a songseed," the shopkeeper told him, "It's used to collect and store lifesong. I happened to buy it from a caravan of a Serdaean merchant."

"That's interesting, but…" Pearl began only to be interrupted by Rel.

"I sense an immense amount of lifesong stored in that seed," She informed, "Take up the offer Pearl. You can remember the residents from Nanaril even without the Khukri."

"Alright," Pearl continued, "But first tell me what do you know about the makana."
"Will you then trade the Khukri?" the shopkeeper asked.

"Yes." Pearl assured.

"I heard this afternoon that the leader of the back-alley gang called Red Reavers wanted to get rid of an antique looking war-club that his kleptomaniac brother happened to steal," the shopkeeper explained, "You will find them around the tavern at the fifth street from here, they own the place. I think this information will help you."

"It will indeed," Pearl untied the khukri from his pack and placed it before the shopkeeper, "Thank you."

"I'm glad to be of service to a kinsman and lifesinger," the shopkeeper said, handing the songseed to Pearl.

The moment the seed's amber surface touched Pearl's skin, the lifesong from the seed was sapped out of its core and flowed into Pearl. It overwhelmed him, causing him to drop to his knees and shiver in exhilaration. The seed must have contained lifesong worth of at least two dozen humans, since it took Pearl a while to regain his composure.

"Congratulations, Pearl," Rel spoke in his mind, "You have achieved the Fifth Cadence."

Nineteen gods were dragged down from paradise and bound to relics by the notorious Dreamsinger on the continent of Ashireth countless years ago. His goal was to create the almighty Warsong but under mysterious circumstances, he failed. As time passed by, these relics were lost and scattered around the world, their existence being reduced to mere myths and legends.

Seventy years ago, one of these relics was discovered by an Elaian warlord known as Talenhara, who used it's power to unite the Elaian tribes and form the Elaia Empire.

Now, after subjugating their ethnic nieghbours and collecting two more relics, the Elaia Empire has launched a ruthless conquest to conquer the world. For this task, they require all nineteen of the Dreamsinger's relics. However, one force stands in the path of Elaia's quest. Those who know the consequence of reuniting the nineteen. A secret sect of Warriors and Scholars called Ruin Wardens shall retrieve and secure the relics before the Elaia. But, with the fires of war scourging the lands, will they succeed before time runs out?

"It was just a bet. You don't have to jump into the pond," Iris thought to herself.
Vivian frowned, "You are still young. Being a young man, you are ignorant of the ways of the world and impulsive. If Sean couldn't come to save you as soon as possible, it would be a disaster."
"I feel a deep sense of shame. Everyone knows that she bet Iris that Sean would save him. Moreover, their gauze skirts are wet. What a shame!"
"It makes sense. It is my fault, grandmother. I should let Sean come there first, and then I can bet Iris that Sean must save me. If Sean were there, it would be better."
Obviously, Pearl and Iris set a trap for Catherine. Everyone knew that, but no one would like to help Catherine because they were jealous of her. Sean loves her so much. As for grandmother, she held the same view though Catherine is her daughter-in-law.
"You shouldn't do that with the cost of your life."
"I know that. Pearl also knew it."
Sean gave Pearl a cold glance, which made Pearl tremble.
"Bullshit! You didn't tell me you can't swim."
"I asked Pearl if she can swim, and she said yes."
"You didn't ask me. Don't bend the truth."
"Do I? Okay... Iris. Do you remember what you said?"
Iris said she couldn't swim, but she didn't ask Pearl if she can swim.
"Just like Iris, I can also fabricate evidence too."
"I…"
"All right. All right. The most important thing is that no one got injured. We don't have to find the man who made a mistake. All of you are just kids. You do something for fun. Take ease. But don't do that again. Life matters" interrupted Catherine.
Although Catherine was old, she had good judgment. Catherine knew it was her granddaughter's fault, so she helped Pearl.
"You are right. Don't repeat it. The most important thing is that you are safe."
Pearl was a little bit haggard, but she tried to show her grace and smiled, "It is my fault. Sorry. I shouldn't make a bet. But I don't know you can't swim. Sorry."
Catherine raised her eyebrows and thought to herself, "That is to say. I lied?"
"It doesn't matter. I am a little bit impulsive. But I have the reason. Sean is my husband, and I believe he will save me first. However, Pearl seems to be overconfident. Do you want to prove that Sean loves and he will put you in the first place?"
Pearl pinched the center of her palm, but she still wore a smile on her face.
Catherine thought to herself, "How can she stay calm? What a sophisticated woman!"
Clara shook her head and said, "It is too much. I don't know what you mean to do, but you are not unfriendly."
Catherine winked an eye at Clara, thinking to herself, "Clara is right. Iris is unfriendly. She wants to cast a bone between Sean and me. Think about it. If Sean chose to save Pearl, how do I feel? She tried to prove that Sean loves her the most. What a joke!
The truth is that Sean saved me. Poor Pearl."
"I didn't mean to do that," Iris tried to explain.
"Iris, think about it. If Sean mistook Catherine and saved Pearl, how embarrassed Catherine is?"
"So, how does Pearl feel if Sean saved Catherine?"
"She knew Sean loves Catherine," said Clara annoyingly.
Clara was tired of gossips and fights between girls, and she had never gotten involved in these trivial matters. But this time, she couldn't help but defend Catherine.
Clara thought to herself, "I didn't think Pearl loves brother Sean, but now I find Pearl loves him very much."
"Brother Sean meant to save Pearl. When I told Sean, who is Pearl, he immediately swam toward her without hesitation," Iris tried to retort for the interests of Pearl.
"So?"
"Since Pearl and Catherine all wore a white dress and it was a little dark, I think it is normal to mistake."
Catherine couldn't help but laugh, "Pearl and you are good friends. She jumped into the pond first. Don't you know where she is?"
Iris was speechless.
Iris and Pearl didn't know how to argue. They don't have more evidence to support what they claimed.
Sean finally said in a cold tone, "Can't I recognize my wife?"
Apparently, Sean knew the woman that Iris pointed to was Catherine, so he swam toward her.
Sean wanted to save Catherine, not Pearl.
Although Iris wanted to argue, she was speechless.
No more words could help them, but bad for them.
"Iris, keep quiet. It is my fault. Miss Stewart, I'm sorry."
"Okay, I forgive you. Keep in mind: don't grab others' things. It is disgusting."
Pearl was angry and said, "Sorry. I am not good. I have to go."
Pearl left as soon as possible, just like a deserter.
Iris immediately chased her.
Vivian likes Pearl very much, so she was angry too.
"Pearl has already apologized. Why not forgive her? Naughty girl!"
Catherine felt innocent and thought to herself, "God. Who is a naughty girl?"
"Mom, what's wrong with Cathy?"
"She doesn't make a mistake. Why does she make a bet with Pearl? She meant to make Pearl embarrassed."
"Pearl deserves it."
"All right. All right. Stop here. Vivian, let's go home."
"Grandma, I'm sending you back home."
Since it was too late, Grandma refused them and let Catherine and Sean get back directly.
Catherine grabbed her handbag and kicked the stone under her feet, "Did I do something improperly today?"
Sean held her hand and comforted her, "No. Forget about it."
"It seems like I am the person who likes to make trouble. They set the trap first. They want to show everyone that I pushed Pearl so that she fell into the pond. And then you saved her. I don't want to cooperate, so I jumped into the pond too though I was terrified."
Catherine lowered her head in frustration.
Catherine knew grandmother didn't like her. Thus, grandmother scolded her though it was Pearl's fault.
Sean suddenly held Catherine, and his hot breath blew on her neck.
Sean said gently, "You little fool. I haven't claimed it is your fault."
"Haven't you? You said it is my fault and asked me what it is, I think it is not my fault, but you beat me."

"What do you mean by that statement?" Alexei asked, very alarmed.
"Hmm..." Pearl paused. "Is complicated situation. But it is okay. I will protect Calibri. You don't worry." Pearl said.
Alexei and Calibri looked at each other. Wearily, Calibri glanced at Pearl. "Protect me from what?"
"I can't say now." Pearl said.
"Why not?" Calibri asked.
"Your sect will take you away."
Alexei pursed his lips. "So indeed, something dangerous is going on." Alexei said.
Pearl rolled the eyeball then nodded. "But I have it under control for now." He said. "You just make sure to call me. Don't go without me to any place."
Alexei and Calibri both glanced at the eyeball as they listened.
Calibri cleared his throat. "Then... Does this mean on Monday, you will be coming with me?"
"To the little clan? Yes." Pearl said.
"How do you even know about that?"
Pearl tapped his ears. "I hear."
Calibri fiddled with his earring. "Not to be cruel, but Pearl, if you were to come with me, it would cause a great stir. That is, among the Verbatians and the rest of the school alike."
Tapioca purred. Glancing at him, Pearl tilted his head. "But you can take your familiars right?" He asked.
"Yes... But Tapioca is Calibri's familiar." Alexei said.
Pearl had a complicated expression on his face. He looked back at Tapioca.
"I..." He trailed off. "Come. Let's try it. Right here. We mix properly this time. Not like last few days in tower. I think we know how to do now." He said to Tapioca. Tapioca darted down Calibri's body and to Pearl's face. Taking hold of the slime, Pearl stared at it for a minute.
"What are they trying, right here, knowing how to do now?" Calibri asked, shaking Alexei's arm.
"I am quite unsure. But after this morning and now, I believe your slime is well acquainted with the child demon." Alexei said, patting Calibri's arm in what was meant to be a soothing way.
"As do I."
After a while, his body started to change into a blob of pearly white looking substance, until he was identical to Tapioca, except, he was whitish.
Tapioca moved forward and engulfed him like an amoeba. To both Calibri and Alexei, whatever they were seeing was indeed fascinating.
Only, they had no idea what in the world was going on.
Tapioca seemed to mix with Pearl and the mixing went on for another five minutes. Then a shimmery grey slime was before them.
"Do you know what they are doing?" Alexei asked him. "No, I have not seen it before." Calibri said.
"Ah." Alexei responded simply. "Perhaps reproduction." He said. "Yes, but they are both male. How could they mate?" Calibri made a confused face.
"But look at how they mix..." Alexei said.
"Perhaps they are hermaphrodites." Calibri said.
"Yes... that would explain their respective solitudes."
The slime split into two blobs, then started to grow exponentially. The boy's eyes widened.
"What in the world-" Alexei started, his eyes twitching.
Slowly, their shapes started to change and their faces morphed into the current Calibri.
"Oh no... I told him not to do that." Calibri said, covering his face.
"Why did he mix with Tapioca and stay mixed?" Alexei asked with a confused face as they waited for them to fully take form.
From behind his hands Calibri groaned, "How am I to know? They are strange. Perhaps this is not mating. They are young after all."
"But if they are both demons, they may be millennia old."
When there were three identical Calibri's in the room. One of the clones cleared his throat. "Did this work?"
"I do not know. You tell me." The other said.
"I do not know, this is why I ask you." The opposite one said.
"I do not know either. We have never done this like this before. "
Calibri and Alexei looked at each other. "How ambiguous." Alexei said.
"Yes, I agree..." Calibri said.
"I feel reasonably good." One said.
"As do I... But how long will this last?"
"And what can we do?"
Both clones pursed their lips.
"Let's try... Cultivating." One said.
"Yes, let's." The other said.  
"Something simple."
"Let is blow something up."
Alexei and Calibri looked at them with wide eyes. "No, no! Please, not here." Calibri quickly said.
Both clones paused and looked at him. Alexei narrowed his eyes. What was with that affectionate look in their eyes.
"Your majesty, you must be confused." Both spoke.
"I am Pearl."
"I am Tapioca."
Both bowed.
"At the same time, I am also Tapioca."
"Likewise, I am also Pearl."
They bowed again.
Calibri and Alexei stared at them blank-faced. Calibri blinked. "So... You have merged."
"Yes, Pearl's speech should be better." The right one said.
"And Tapioca's body should have form now." The left said.
"At least, temporarily. We are still working on it. We have only been able to interact recently." Both said.
"Meeting in the Underworld was prohibited."
"Did you blur your memories?" One asked the other.
"Of course, else *HE* will use it to track us." The other said. They both smiled mischievously.
Calibri blinked. 'Is that really how my face looks when I am scheming?'
"If we are to travel like this,"
"We will simply be considered as the single slime you know to be your familiar,"
"That way,"
"We won't be too suspicious,"
"Right?"
Calibri and Alexei glanced between the two as they finished each other's sentences. "I do not understand whom is whom." Calibri said.
"Don't worry. We share a brain now. Separately." Both said simultaneously. Their eyes were no longer red, they were simply exactly the same as Calibri's.
There was no way to tell the difference between them.
"But if you want to use us for combat, we must separate." The left said.
"Wait, I have a proposal. Which of you is more Pearl and which of you is more Tapioca?" Alexei asked.
The clones looked at each other. "Who do you feel like?" The left asked the right.
"I'm not sure." The right said.
They looked at Alexei. "We are equivalent."
"Then how do we differentiate you?" Calibri asked.
Alexei blinked. "Wait... Tapioca... Pearl... Tapioca Pearl." Calibri said looking between them.
"Yes?" They asked. Alexei shook his head.  
"No, what I mean is, his majesty was yet again spot on with his naming. Tapioca Pearl is..." Alexei trailed off, not knowing if they knew what he was talking about.
"Of course. He named Pearl too." Both said.
"What? Did I?" Calibri looked quite shocked.
"You have no memory of it," One said, waving his hand.
"But of course we do,"
"We have memories from the point that Pearl was involved,"
"Unfortunately nothing prior to that,"
"Still, we of course do understand that-"
"You are our master."
They completed each other's sentences with such ease that it became clear to the boys that they did in fact share a brain.
"But for the sake of formality, perhaps I should take more Pearl, and you should take more Tapioca." The left said to his clone.
"Yes, Yes. That way you would be more Pearl and I would be more Tapioca. However, my dear Pearl, your speech may suffer."
"Yes, yes. Naturally so. It is fine, my dear Tapioca." The left said patting the right on the head.
Alexei glanced at Calibri.
"Your majesty... Did you notice that they imitate your speech patterns and body movements?"
Calibri tilted his head. "Do they?"
Alexei nodded. "That 'Yes, yes' of yours, and saying 'of course', then the head patting."
"Do I do that?" Calibri looked surprised. Alexei nodded. "They even duplicated how we say 'my dear' to each other."
The left clone touched the right and black slime passed from his hand to the right, while pearly slime past from the right to the left.
The wobbly look of their arms stabilized.
"How do you feel?"
"Good. How do you feel?"
"I feel like Pearl, mostly."
"I feel like Tapioca, really."
They both turned and looked at Calibri. "Yes, yes. This way, there is nobody that can hurt him. With you in me, I can use demonic cultivation again." Pearl said. "But we need to try it before we jump to conclusions, since we have never made this work in the last week we've had together." Tapioca said.
"This is true. But we will make it work." Pearl said.
"Of course. Let us make wisps." Tapioca said.
"Wisps, yes, yes."
They both clenched their fists. When they reopened, they held red and black wispy roses.
Their eyes widened and they looked at each other. "We were successful!" They said then gasped.
"That means-!" Tapioca ran over and stole a kiss from Alexei's cheek. Alexei squeaked and squished himself into Calibri. "Wh-what did he do?! D-did he poison me?"
"I copied your makeup." Tapioca said. He closed his eyes and started to morph. Suddenly, he was Alexei.
Alexei and Calibri stared in shock.
"What an itinerary of spells he has." Tapioca said. "You should see this one!" Pearl said morphing into Haochen.
Alexei and Calibri's mouths dropped open.
Tapioca and Pearl looked at Calibri, "Ah! But none of their abilities are as impressive as yours!" They quickly said, holding their faces dramatically, like Calibri would.
Calibri choked. "This is too strange! Change back into me. Even that is less traumatizing." Calibri said, covering his eyes.
They quickly changed and looked at each other excitedly. "And with us in this realm, we can protect him really well!" Tapioca said.
"Yes, we can do the everything for him." Pearl said.
"There is no 'the' before 'everything'." Tapioca said.
"I know, I know." Pearl waved his hand. "Now we can show off Calibri's true power!"
"Can we not?" Calibri made a face.
"NO! This brilliance ought to be shared!" Pearl said.
Tapioca tsked. "Yes, yes. But remember, Verbatium and it's secrets."
Pearl and Tapioca both scowled. "Verbatium." They both said.
Alexei and Calibri frowned at the disgust in their voices.
Before they could ask, the clones sighed.
"We should practice." Pearl said. Tapioca nodded. "Somewhere isolated."
"Ah! Wait before you leave, could you help me with something?" Calibri suddenly asked.
Alexei looked at him. "With what, your majesty?"
Calibri briefly glanced at him then looked the clones.
"I want to see if they can hide if they're lying, because if they can..." He started and looked at Alexei.
"Then we would have a better plan for dealing with your brothers." Alexei finished for him. Both boys grinned and looked at Tapioca and Pearl.
The duo blinked and looked at each other.
"Are they copying us now? They are completing each other's sentences too."
"And smirking at us." Tapioca held Pearl's arm.
Alexei grinned. "Tapioca. Turn into me for a second."
Tapioca blinked and looked at Calibri who nodded. Following orders, he did so.  
Now, there were two pairs of Calibri and Alexei.  
"Show us your forearms." Calibri said.  
The clones did and Calibri and Alexei saw nothing but smooth skin despite how confused Tapioca and Pearl were.
"Show me that you're stressed." Calibri said.
Concentrating, orange swirls formed on their bared forearms.  
Calibri nodded. "So they have to purposely control those."
Alexei grinned. "Well, your majesty. I think we have found a better plan."


[BOYS LOVE] 
If there was a scale for magnanimity and naivety, Prince Calibri would be positioned first every time. As the crowned prince of his mysterious and secretive sect, he believed it was his duty to become the next Grandmaster of all the Cultivation clans to protect his people. Needless to say, every other young Cultivator of the Living Realm were after the same position of power even if it wasn't for the same reason, including Zhang Haochen; a quiet, handsome, unproblematic and extremely skilled young man with an unfortunate desire for his father's validation. Upon their arrival at the Cultivation school, it became apparent that not only did Calibri far outweigh them all(both men and women) in the department of looks, but also in his level of Cultivation! But how? How did he use all those lost Cultivation techniques? Why did he disappear all the time? Why in the world was Zhang Haochen (the man everyone wanted the attention of) so attached and fond of that 'PRINCESS' from day one? In fact, why did Zhang Haochen use his vocal chords in such abundance when it came to him? 
In a flurry of events, the time comes for the next Grandmaster to be chosen, but before Calibri has the chance to seize the title, he is betrayed by his closest companion, accused of a crime he did not commit
and banished to the dark dormain of the Underworld...
Years later, Calibri finds himself unwillingly forced to return to the Living Realm by the very person who betrayed him in the first place! 
He can't escape, so there's no choice to remain with that handsome traitor who's on a mission of his own: 1) Get Calibri's soul back 2) Make everyone who hurt Calibri suffer 3) Get Calibri to fall in love with him once again.
The mission wouldn't have been that hard if Calibri, Heaven, the Living Realm and the Underworld were against it.
 But alas, these conditions existed, and he had no choice but to overcome them if he wanted to ever see Calibri smile at him again, and not scream bloody murder every time he held him close. 
Yes, Zhang Haochen had a lot of atoning to do.
Can he do it? Will Calibri forgive him? Why did he betray him?

Read on to uncover the mysteries, and find out if their love can really conquer the odds!

Sebastian took them to the palace for lunch. It had been a couple of days since she told Edward her theory on Charles and he was requesting them to come to lunch to discuss it more. 
Sebastian held her hand as they walked into the dining room and were announced. 
"Pearl. You'll be happy to know that you were right." Edward said. 
"I was?" She asked. 
"Charles is absolutely Michael Williamson's half brother. And there's more. Please, sit." He said. 
"He was dishonorably discharged from the army one week after the incident Erik witnessed. And he came here one week after that. We checked with some of his fellow infantry mates. He had talked about what had happened. That a child had ratted out his brother. He was well informed. He knew what had happened." Edward said. Pearl nodded. She knew it. 
"Pearl, I need you to think back about what you found. Places. Where was he from? Did you see any places of residency? I want to find him. And then kill him, myself." 
"He was born in the Netherlands. Michael. Not Charles. Charles was born in a home for unmarried mothers in London. But Michael's father was married to his mother. He had a money. Came from money. His father owned a saw mill. In Amsterdam." She said. 
"There are many there. It would be impossible to trace anything to that." Edward said. 
"This one had an unusual name. Something about an otter." Pearl said. 
"Molen de otter?" Edward asked. 
"Yes! That's it! Wait. How do you know that?" Pearl asked. 
"It's the oldest saw windmill in Amsterdam." He said. 

Edward hung up the phone and looked at Pearl. "I found out some information. For the time being De Otter is still in its original location but not being operated. People still tour it but the adjacent building has been abandoned for years, that is until about three weeks ago. There have been lights on inside at night. And people have seen movement in and out of the building." 
Pearl's heart pounded. Charles, she thought. 
"Let's go and find the bastard." Sebastian said. 
"No. You're not going anywhere. I'm not going to risk losing another important heir and member of this family. Pearl needs you. We need you. You have to stay here and take care of Pearl. You are the one I would want to be in charge or even regent in my absence. Augustus isn't ready and your father is ill. It is you, Sebastian, that has the strength to do what needs to be done while I cannot." Edward said. "You and Pearl. I trust you both, entirely." He said. "Now, I must get the team together. I'm going to destroy the men who took my son." He said. 
"Edward. Wait." Pearl said. "Before you leave, you need to know something." Pearl said. 
"What is it?" Edward said. 
"I'm pregnant. I am carrying Erik's child. I'm six weeks along." She said. 
"My god. That is the best thing I could have ever been told. Thank you, for telling me." He said. 
"And Sebastian has offered to make the baby legitimate. If I accept. He has offered me his hand in marriage. I'm still considering it. I am still so completely destroyed over Erik. I can't think about it right now." Pearl said. 
"Of course. Sebastian, you are a good man. Thank you for this. We will discuss it when I return." Edward said. 
"One more thing." Pearl said. 
"Yes Pearl." 
"Rip their fucking hearts out and let them watch it beat outside of their body before they die." She said. 
Edward nodded. 

Pearl sat in the study and tried to relax. So many thoughts filled her mind. Sebastian sat quietly with her and let her pace and talk out loud as she needed. 
A knock at the door distracted her thinking. 
"Your highness. I understand you are regent while Edward is indisposed." The man said. 
"Yes. What is it?" He asked. 
"Come with me." He said. Sebastian took Pearl's hand and they were led into the main state room at the palace. 
There were men gathered there and a man they didn't recognize speaking to them. 
"Your highness. I understand you are acting regent." The man said. 
"Yes. I am." Sebastian said. 
"I'm Dr. Benjamin Paulson. The royal physician." He said. 
"It's nice to meet you. What is the nature of your visit?" Sebastian asked. 
"An autopsy had been completed on the body brought to us from the explosion." He explained. 
Pearl felt the nausea returning. 
"And we can confirm that Mr. Theodore Brunkel died due to multiple organ blast injury as well as blunt force trauma to the head from shrapnel." The physician stated. 
"I'm not following. Who is Theodore Brunkel? And what about Erik." Sebastian asked. 
"Well, your highness, that's precisely what we were curious about. The man that you claim to be Erik is Theodore Brunkel. The man that died in that blast wasn't Erik at all." 
"Oh my god, Erik is still alive." Pearl said, nearly fainting. 
"Someone contact Edward and his team. Now!" Sebastian ordered. 
"Pearl. Pearl are you alright?" Sebastian asked, belong her to a chair. 
"Yes. Yes I'm fine. We have to find him. We have to tell Edward. He could jeopardize his life now." Pearl said. 
"We will. We will let him know, I promise." Sebastian said.

The moon rises in the distances, it was an ominous night as there were no star in the sky, only the moon shining like a pearl in dead sea. "Thud-thud." "Thud-thud." Footprints of camel are visible in sand, upon closer look the camel is carrying a person, and the one controlling is walking in the sand with his murky color cloak. The winds blow the cloak loosen up slightly and a figure who was very eager to return home, it is Pearl carrying Margert on the camel's back. Few hours passed, and the night was deep. Pearl says with a blank face, "How long do you think you can keep this act, although I am awe at your indifferently." Margert drops the act, and she climbs out of the camel. Pearl continues, "you must be tired from bumpy ride, here the tent I made." It was giant tent, inside it had its own king size bed, tub, and an area for cooking. Margert enters she noticed something soft touching her feet, she asks, "What is this, how did carpet become that soft." Pearl answer, "it is made from silk, Irani precisely. Pearl then went away, Margert being curious went to bedroom, it was king size bed, with dark red matter, cushion and blanket. It also has tiger leather pattern. It had a light red thin curtain, Margert peeked in she could smell an aromatic scent, suddenly her body became hot, she wanted to touch her body parts, she quickly came back to senses and got out of the bedroom. Frightened by what she felt she quickly went to find Pearl, she notices that she is outside, cooking something in a pot, she asks, "What are you cooking." Pearl gives no reply.  Suddenly Margert stomach gurgled, she became embarrassed, Pearl then sighs and says with a warm voice, "I can't be angry with you for a long time can I." She then passes a bowl, with a soup in it and says while giving it, "Here you must be hungry." Pearl then changes her tone into a sadistic one, "Eat until you are full, because after that you are getting punished." Margert ate slowly to delay the punishment, but she finished, nonetheless. As soon as Margert finished her food and out away the bowl, Pearl carries her. Margert says while stuttering, "What about your food?" Pearl replies with a cheeky face, "You are my food." Pearl then takes her to bedroom and gently throws her into the bed. She then places her hands on her legs, enough to get her face close to her vagina, she then bites the thigh, Margert was holding her scream, on her perspective she seems a beast slowly enjoying her before devouring her. Pearl then gets closer, closer, until Margert can see Pearl very closely. She the slowly open her mouth and takes a bite on her necks. She did it to show Margert that she could not do anything about it, and she is under control of her. During this time, she has the same smiles that she always has. She then moves her hand to Margert panties and felt it with her finger, as soon as he did, she says, "Oh look what we have here a wet food ready to be eaten." She then licks her lips and then again get close to her vagina, this time she removes her panties slowly to make Margert what was happening, and then starts to eat her out. Margert on other hand was having an epiphany, due to the drug and the fact she is being eaten. After Pearl have her fill, she then says while looking at Margert pussy, "Oh it is now begging for more." Pearl deliberately to tease her gently Put her finger on her clitoris and slowly moving it. Pearl then says, "Say do you want more?" Margert maintaining her elegance says, "Y-yes." Pearls replies, "Whatever you wish my Queen."  She then gently inserted her finger while approaching her and kissing her. Pearls then increased her speed and Margert experience Orgasm. Margert was breathing heavily, Pearl then says, "Now my Queen is my turn," While kissing her head, Margert now again became full of excitement and vigor and the night continues." Margert woke up, and remembers the nights event, she blushed and saw Pearl sleeping beside her, she approaches her and gently kiss her cheeks, Pearl then wakes up, and yawn and seeing Pearl says, "Good morning my Queen." Margert remembering the events as soon she hears Queen and blushes. Margert then says, "Do you want to take a bath together." Pearls reply, "Sure, but there is not a bath in this tent you, we do have a wooden bathtub, and there is oasis nearby, how about I fill the water and come back, and you cook something delicious for me." Pearl then began to wear pajamas and went to fill the water, Margert then went to kitchen and cook. Pearl come backs with the tub filled with water, and but it on the empty area in the tent she then, put a screen door to make it private, then she put a desk with shampoo, conditioner, soap and moisture creams. Margert then calls Pearl in a loud voice. Pearl then quickly then went to table, Margert then put a plate in front of Pearl. Pearl smiled and kissed her cheeks and says, "How did you know, this is my favorite breakfast, fried egg sandwiched with two breads, which is seasoned with black pepper and salt. Margert smirked and reply, "It is a secret."

A criminal lady died and reborn into fantasy world. surprisingly this world is quite open about same sex, religion and is quite modern, our main character Pearl discovers why it is , and travels to many nation in order to complete her missions and there are many fun twist inside

Angeline panicked and then thought about drying herself, so she tried to reach the tissue from the table, and the tissue got to her itself, which seems like she used powers to get the tissue and she started drying herself. Raphael saw Angeline using her powers while he was looking for the Mother Pearl. Raphael realised that the Mother Pearl is probably with Angeline as he saw her using powers.

Raphael: You used powers. Did you take the Mother Pearl?
Angeline: Huh? What Mother Pearl? I never took any pearl and besides I already have a pearl necklace I bought long time ago when I was on a holiday.
Raphael: You became a mermaid and can use powers. That is the power of the Mother Pearl, it can change a human.
Angeline: What are you talking about?

Raphael removed his pearl necklace that was born from the Mother Pearl that gave him powers to change into human form, and other powers. Angeline saw Raphael turn into a merman.

Raphael: I am a merman. My mother used to own that Mother Pearl, and when she gave birth to me, she gave me this necklace that was born from her necklace. When my aunt betrayed her and I lost her, my aunt almost took the Mother Pearl from her but good thing I was able to stop her and got the Mother Pearl from mom, but aunt is using Dark Mother Pearl, which is stronger than mine, only the White Mother Pearl can defeat the Dark Mother Pearl. So, my dad came and aunt escaped, my dad cannot defeat her using his pearl as well but my aunt cannot hurt my dad because she loves him. So, my dad decided to send me to your world to hide from my aunt and hide the White Mother Pearl. This way, she cannot reach me and we know that most humans are scared or does not like us merpeople, and some does not even believe in us that we exist. The White Mother Pearl must not fall on the hands of the enemy, even though my mom put a spell on it that only the pure in heart can be the heir to the pearl and use it's powers but if it fell on the hands of the evil, it will lose it's powers. The White Mother Pearl is our only chance defeating my aunt and it can only be used by a woman or mermaid, I cannot use it because I am a merman and I cannot have 2 magic pearls.
Angeline: Wow, I feel sorry for what happened. Don't worry, I will help you find the Mother Pearl.

Angeline finally got dried up, but she is naked below. She panicked and covered herself with tissues.

Angeline: What? Where are my underwear and shorts? I only got my top.
Raphael: They should be around here. They will automatically fall off when you turn to mermaid.
Angeline: You saw my thing! Ughh.. I feel so embarrassed.
Raphael: Don't worry, there is nothing to be embarrassed.
Angeline: But, you saw my body. It is not that attractive. Ever since I got sick long time ago, and started taking this certain medicine prescribed by my doctor during that time, I started gaining weight and my body's shape started to change. A lot of people were asking me to model before because I had good looks and body. Now, I only have my looks.
Raphael: You still have your body, it may look unattractive to you but it is just part of your body. What is important is how you treat people, your personality, your heart, and your faith.
Angeline: Thanks.

Raphael's and Angeline's face got closer and closer again as they look at each other while talking about what is important and when they were about to kiss again, Angeline touched something round and hard on the floor. They both turned to look and saw the Mother Pearl glowing at contact with Angeline's skin. Raphael realised that the Mother Pearl has chosen Angeline as it's owner. Marius started to wake up, and Angeline is still naked below covered in tissues only, and she suddenly got up and wear her underwear and shorts, and continues eating. Raphael continues eating as well and act like nothing happened. Marius then went to the kitchen/dining and saw them eating, and took his breakfast to join them. Since, it is Angeline's day off, and Marius got work, although Marius works from afternoon until evening, Angeline decided to go out with Raphael to sell the stones for auction.

Angeline: Marius, me and Raphael will go out to register his stones for auction.
Marius: What time?
Angeline: Soon. After we eat, I will take a bath and then Raphael and I will go out. So we can finally buy a house and buy clothes for him too, he does not have enough on his bag, and they look unique, antique, and princely.
Marius: Okay. (Marius thought that it is okay for them to go out instead of staying at home because they might have sex if they stayed home just the two of them)

Raphael laughed reading Marius thoughts but got confused what sex means. He is a merman and in their kingdom, they don't reproduce the same way as humans.

After they eat, and Angeline finished her bath and Raphael, they finally went out and Marius is left alone and he decided to watch some tutorial for a better photography instead and also searched about diamonds. Raphael decided to give a couple of diamonds to Angeline and asked her favourite colour and gave her white and blue diamonds. Finally, at the auction shop, Angeline inquired about some of the stones Raphael has. Raphael took some from his bag. 2 pink diamond, 1 blue, 1 white, 3 emeralds, and 2 rubies. Raphael then took 2 more diamonds that he plans to give to Angeline.

Raphael: Angeline, I want to give you these 2 diamonds as a gift. Thank you for helping me so much. (then he whispered to her) You are the owner of the Mother Pearl now, you deserve to have these as well, I want to give you more but I will ask my father first. I will talk to him using my magic pearl tonight. For now, this is from me.
Angeline: Thank you, but this seems too much because the Mother Pearl is already like a big reward, although, a bigger responsibility as well.
Raphael: Yes, this is why I am giving you these. You have a bigger responsibility now, and you need these more than ever. You can auction them too if you want, or save them later. I will help you anyways, for any equipments, training, and lessons you need.
Angeline: Oh no, training and lessons is fine, but I will take care of equipments. I will auction one of these diamonds then. Thank you so much.
Raphael: Okay then. We will start training as soon as we have enough space or room for it.
Angeline: Okay great.

Few hours later, Raphael and Angeline changed clothes before the auction starts as they need to look like the other wealthy people joining the auction. Raphael changed using his power of Earth as fabric is made from leaves or plants and other parts of Earth. Angeline wondered how and Raphael thought her. Angeline then wondered why he had some clothes in his bag before if he can use magic for that.

Angeline: Why did you have clothes on your bag before, if you can use magic to have clothes?
Raphael: Those clothes are different and I can only copy clothes that I have seen.
Angeline: Oh, I see. Does that mean the same for me then using the Mother Pearl?
Raphael: Yes.
Angeline: Okay, great. I will look for a dress I like on the internet then copy it.
Raphael: The internet?

Angeline then started explaining and teaching him how the internet works.

Raphael: Wow, that is so cool. You look so beautiful. I will do that next time then.
Angeline: Hehe. Let's go to the hall. The auction is about to start.

Chapter 14: Instant defeat!

Dylan was surprised! For Lusha to be a Pearl Bearer never crossed his mind. It is impossible for a pirate gang their scale to get a Demon Pearl.

Shiiiii-

As Lusha appeared in front of Dylan, his sword instantly cut through the air downwards and cleaved everything on its way but the sword hit nothing but space! Dylan managed to dodge by a sidestep and appeared next to Lusha.

Although the sword missed it was expected! Lusha knew that the sword won't cut Lusha so he already had his gun ready.

While in mid-air Lusha looked at Dylan and the latter done the same. Their eyes met once again and saw each other's face. Lusha smiled as he gazed at the calm Dylan.

Lusha suddenly executed a move that the onlookers won't ever expect. The hilt slid from his hands. His sword did not slip, rather he threw it intentionally towards the G4 squad by taking advantage of the slashing motion!

Wooosh-

It is obvious why he did this. It is not the first time he used other people to bait the young man and make the latter completely off guard and take him by surprise.

Three words. He is dirty!

Even Dylan was caught off guard! His pupils instantly dilated and quickly shifted his sight towards Lusha in anger. He also noticed the gun pointed towards him as Lusha twisted in the air! It was a stalemate! All of this action is done not even needing a second, it was so fast that a snap is still slower!

Then with a click of the Gun-

BANG!!!

But something happened almost simultaneously along the gunfire! It happened like-

BANG!!! PENG!!! BOOM!

Three sounds resounded. One form the gunshot and two others from something else.

…

..

Lastly the last sound was heard.

Thud, Lusha fell to his knees and slumped forward! His eyes turned white but he is still breathing which means he is still alive but unconscious.

No one was hurt except for one man, Lusha who turned back to his original appearance already.

The onlookers were confused about what happened no one knew what happened. They only heard sounds and sudden flashes of light.

The G4 squad who is the nearest were stunned by what happened, they don't know how but Lusha suddenly fell after a sword suddenly embedded itself perpendicular to the ground along a flash of light.

It seems that something happened in that very instant.

The only ones who witnessed what happened clearly in the crowd were the girl who happened to be already awake and saw what happened in that instant because of her special eyes. While the other is a man behind the crowd who has a tall stature and white garments. It was a mystery when he even appeared.

Dylan who is beside Lusha crouched and whispered, "I am sorry, I can't have you kill anyone anymore."

Dylan looked at his hands and opened it, on his palm lies the demon pearl of Lusha. He snatched it but no one knows when.

A Pearl appearing on the forehead is the sign of a Pearl Bearer but it will only appear there unless the power is activated. Like the pearl that appeared on Lusha's forehead earlier which is now in Dylan's hands.

The rarity of a pearl bearer is high if put into numbers, in 10,000 people there are 1 Pearl Bearer excluding the quality of the Demon Pearl which is divided into tiers. If observed, the Pearl Lusha has is only a small strength boost which is at least tier 1 or possibly tier 2. In a 100 tier 1 Pearl, there is one tier 2 Pearl. Speaking of the rarity, the pearls humankind has found is much rarer than gold!

What made Dylan confused is how he got a Demon Pearl. It can only be acquired if it is naturally formed or extracted from hundreds of Demons of the same kind! It can't be found in a market and can only be found rarely at Auctions or chanced upon from nature or dead Pearl Bearer. Other than the three ways there are no other ways to get it unless it is gifted to you.

"This concludes that the abduction should not be related to any slave trading, which means."

This means there is something more involved in this case. Something worth investigating, which means-

BUT! Nevermind all that. It is unfortunate that there is a lot of innocent people who got involved but at least this man, Lusha is going to punished at long last. Justice has been served!

Well, the job is done, The Navy caught all of the members of the Red Feather Pirates. Lusha is separated from his crew and taken by the upper managements of the Navy for interrogation.

For Dylan it is all done and what comes next is-

"Merits!" Dylan said this very word with sparkling eyes.
