Kapitel 42: Veiled deception

As I lay in my room's silence, I prayed for the bravery to navigate the risky routes of the palace. Grandpa Yuan Ralph's wise advice stuck with me, guiding me towards an unconventional path that would defy standards and influence my destiny.

Concealed from sight, I sought a faint light, a way to uncover the truth hidden beneath multiple falsehoods. When I closed my eyes, I vowed to unravel the enigmas that bound me, to discover how to escape from a mystical bond.

Emperor Ash was quite a lovely man though, he was kind to me and gave me everything I asked for and what I did not ask for.

I felt there was something wrong with me lately, like I was losing things, a part of myself, a fraction of my being. 

Maybe it was the pearl, maybe it was just me. All I knew was I was losing something and gaining nothing. I needed to pinpoint what I was losing, so I could know what I would do about it.
