ALPL 31

Synopsis 

The missing Pearl of Albrecht—its whereabouts finally revealed!“So that’s why you want to marry me? Just take the pearl instead!”Louise, who came into possession of the imperial heirloom without even knowing what it was, and Caius, the true owner of the pearl.“My, my.”Caius’s long fingers lifted the tip of Louise’s chin. He looked straight down into her eyes—eyes brimming with tears that she refused to let fall—and let out an arrogant laugh.“To think your devotion to your late mother’s sole keepsake amounts to only this. It would break her heart to hear it.”The moment his sneer vanished, their lips crashed together fiercely. After thoroughly ravaging the narrow confines of her mouth, the man pulled back with a gaze so dry it bordered on boredom.“Are you sufficiently defiled now to go through with the marriage as planned?”She would have the pearl, and he would possess her.It was such a simple calculation that there was no way Caius would ever back down.
