Pearl didn't know what she was getting at, so she wondered why Esther kept mentioning this person. "Cwith me, and you'll see."

Claude glanced over, perhaps noticing the gaze on him, creating a slightly eerie atmosphere.
Pearl quickly turned her head. "Who is he?" "He's Claude. James toldhe comes from a prominent family. Rumor has it that he even has royal blood from Mernaut in his lineage..." So, he was of mixed race. No wonder he was so good-looking. But his looks weren't the biggest surprise.
