Albrecht’s Pearl

The lost Pearl of Albrecht finally reveals its whereabouts. “So that’s why you want to marry me? Then just take the pearl instead!” Louise, who came into possession of an imperial heirloom without even knowing what it was, and Caius, the pearl’s true owner. “My.” Caius’s long fingers lifted the tip of Louise’s chin. He looked straight into her eyes, brimming with tears yet refusing to let even a single drop fall, and smiled arrogantly. “So that’s all this memento of your one and only mother means to you. If she heard that, her heart would break.” The moment that mocking smile disappeared, his lips crashed against hers fiercely. After thoroughly ravaging the inside of her small mouth and pulling away, the man’s gaze was so dry it bordered on weary indifference. “Have you been tainted enough to marry me as planned?” She only needs to keep the pearl, and he only needs to possess her. It was such a simple equation that there was no way Caius would back down.
