“What is it? What are you looking at?” he queried.

Beatrice replied tearfully, “Do you remember how that young chap did his younger sister's hair?”

His wife's words threw him for a loop.

What hair?

Kristoff had been too busy hunting for a bandana for Kurt's hair to pay attention to his female companion.

“What hair? I wasn't paying attention.”

Beatrice gazed at the comb in her hands and sobbed, “She wore a Faire Coiffure. Our darling Pearl used to wear her hair like that all the time.”

Pearl Calyette was none other than Kurt's mother.

Along with her sister, Ruby, the Calyette sisters were nicknamed the Jewels of Elysium thanks to their striking beauty.

They were both strong-armed into the palace later on. Before becoming a member of Elysium royalty, Pearl's favorite pastime was embroidery.

Faire Coiffure was an intricate updo that Pearl had invented using only a single embroidered ribbon.

Back then, all the women in the Elysium tribe had fallen over themselves trying to recreate the updo.

However, none had ever come close to imitating the intricacy of Pearl's art.
