Beast King'S Crippled Mate

62 Chapter 62: Bored Aria (III)

Queen Anastasia strutted through the long corridor towards her daughter's room. She was followed by an entourage of maids who reported everything Princess Aria did that day, and some of those reports raised her

concern.

She knocked on the door, and the maids outside opened the door for her.

Aria was sitting on her bed in her nightdress while inspecting the pearls she purchased today. She was captivated because after checking every single pearl out of the dozen the merchant brought today, none of them had the slightest bump or even a dent. They were perfect.

Queen Anastasia was concerned seeing how much her daughter loved those pearls to the point that she ignored her own mother. It was a dozen rounds of pearls, but she had been collecting many pieces of jewelry since she was young, surely it wouldn't be that fascinating, right?

“Aria, I've heard from the head butler that you bought those pearls for four gold coins each," Queen Anastasia said. "We might be wealthy for a country, but we have been going through a difficult time right now after your father's death. We can't splurge on unnecessary items." 3

Facing her mother's scolding, Aria didn't show any displeasure. She knew her mother was weak-willed when it came to her, so she replied calmly, "I'm sorry, Mom. But I bought this because I want to help you."

"Help me?” Queen Anastasia frowned. "And how could a regular pearl help me?"

Aria smiled. She told everyone to leave the mother-daughter pair alone and closed the door so they could talk privately.

“Come here, Mom. Let me show you something cool!"

Queen Anastasia sat at the edge of the bed as Aria handed her the pearl. “This is a perfect pearl from the West Sea. It has no dent or bump, and you know how the merchant gets these? It was that savage Beast King who harvested it from the West Sea, and sold it for two gold coins each."

Queen Anastasia rubbed the pearl with her finger, and her daughter was right. This pearl was very lustrous, with a surface as smooth as glass, which made it twice more expensive than a regular round pearl.

"This must be extremely rare, isn't it?" Queen Anastasia asked.
