The Pearl Heir

Sue Olivia De Morse POV

I slowly opened my eyes and saw Dominique in the side sleeping.

I slowly moved and roamed my eyes around and saw Äiti was sleeping on Isä lap.

"Hmm Sue!? Your finally awake!" Dom exclaimed.

Isä immediately opened his eyes hearing what Dominique said.

"How are you? Are you hungry? Do you feel any pain?" Äiti asked.

"I'm fine now sorry for making you worried." I said.

I saw äiti looking serious and so is Isä.

"How long are you trying to hide about this Olivia?" He said looking at me.

"I don't want you to worry and its also not a big deal I'm totally fine." I said but he seems not happy on what I said.

"Why are you so distant Olivia of course we are worried about you." Isä said.

I just don't want to burden them they've done enough for me.

"We are your family we deserve to know Olivia." Äiti said in a painful expression.

"Father is right Sue we are a family and we should rely on each other." Dominique said.

"I'm sorry I won't do it again." I replied.

Ever since the incident Äiti have been monitoring me every now and then.

I was stuck in the mansion while my brother does the in and out work.

"I wanted to walk outside." I blurted.

I can't remember when is the last time I walk outside.

Knock.knock.

"Olivia? Its me." Dom said on the other side.

"Come in." I answered.

He walked towards me and laid a box on the table.

"Open it." He said.

When I opened the box I saw a silver roped chain with a barrel lock.

"Is this the chain of the Black Spiral Cove?" I exclaimed.

"Äiti brought the materials last month so I started working on it and its finally finished. Are you happy?" Dominique said.

"Oh brother its lovely thank you!" I said.

"Oh but thats not the surprise here its called Olivia's Chain. This is a chain bracelet I made for your birthday I'm giving it in advance." He said and handed the small box from his pocket.

I slowly opened it and Palma chain bracelet was inside it has a magnetic lock and a rose pendant made of rose gold metal.

I almost forgot that my birthday will be coming soon.

"This is priceless I love it thank you brother Dom." I said and hugged him.

"Our princess deserves everything I'm glad you like it." He said and took the bracelet to put it in my wrist.

"Brother Dom I wanted to go out father has been keeping me in the house and I can't take it anymore." I complaint.

"Right I almost forgot he told me to fetch you here so dress up." He said while giving me a grin.

I was confused on how he acted but I ignored it and ran into the bathroom excitedly.

"My lady young master Dominique is waiting downstairs." Marina said.

"Marina any news about the stranger I met in the Commoner's area?" I asked.

"My lady there was no signs of him I asked several people and been asking around." She said.

"I see." I said in a sad tone.

Should I consider visiting the East Cove Kingdom? I bet father would let me.

"You've been staring out of nowhere Sue watch your step." Dominique said.

"I'm sorry brother Dom let's go." I said and got inside the carriage.

We got in the Middle class Area when Dominique suddenly take out his handkerchief.

"I need to cover your eyes because its a surprise." Dominique said.

I was excited about the said surprise and agreed.

"We finally arrived so watch your step there, hold on my arm and walk slowly." Dominique said.

"What could it be." I said in excitement.

"I'll remove it now." Dominique said.

As soon as he took it off I gasped on amusement.

This can't be!

"Surprise!" They exclaimed.

I almost cried seeing Isä and äiti outside the shop.

A lot of nobles were starting to peek and gossip.

It was 2 floors jewelry shop named as DSDM. The window shows our latest design of leather necklace and the De Morse Silver Set.

"I named the shop after your name and your brother with our family surname." Äiti explained.

"You told me that you don't like to have a large celebration so your äiti and I decided to buy a shop for the jewelries that you and your brother designed." Isä explained.

"Father don't forget about your promise." Dominique reminded Isä.

"Oh dear I guess I forgot about that." Isä said making Dom looking hopeless.

"Silly I'm just kidding I brought it inside." Isä answered.

"What are we waiting for let's get inside." Äiti said.

Before we got inside a carriage stop in front of us and said.

"Marquis De Morse?" The man said in surprise.

"Viscount Charles is that you? Goodness you didn't inform me about your arrival!" Äiti exclaimed.

The man got out of the carriage and bowed.

"Greetings everyone my apologize for not informing you regarding about my arrival. You look gorgeous as always Riché." Viscount Raven said and kissed äiti hand.

I was shocked and look at Isä who is now looking irritated at the viscount.

"I guess you should refrain doing such stuff at my Wife and in front of our children Sir Raven." Isä said in a hard tone dragging Isä beside him.

"My you are territorial as always Isaac so this must be your daughter and your son I'm pleased to meet both of you. Your father and I are childhood friends and lovers but your Second father took him away from me." Viscount Raven said in a low voice.

"I can hear you." Isä said and shook his head.

Dominique stood in front of me and spoke.

"It was a pleasure to meet you Sir Raven I'm Dominique De Morse and this is my sister Sue Olivia De Morse." Dominique said.

"My, my your son got that attitude of yours Isaac I was just joking around. I won't take your Isä away and your sister silly child." Viscount Raven laughed.

He's right Uncle Isaac and Dominique are quiet close because he spoils Dom too much.

While äiti keeps on buying me a lot of stuff like I was his living doll daughter.

"Why don't we go inside were dragging a lot if attention already." Äiti said giving us a smile.

When I got inside I saw the glass counter showing the Silver & Gold Sets. It was a Monday theme I suggested äiti that Monday should be a Silver and Gold Sets.

"Chocolates." Dominique blurted looking hypnotized at the left counter.

"What do you think?" Äiti asked.

"It looks perfect Isä thank you for the lovely gift." I said.

"This place is wonderful I've never seen a jewelry shop connected to a beverage shop. This Jewelries are stunning however, it was lacking something." Viscount Raven said looking at the area.

"You are right Sir Raven it was lacking of pendants and gems. My older brother Dominique was only good at eyeing chains. While on the other hand I make the designs the missing parts are due to my lack of knowledge about the stones." I explained.

I saw amusement written in his eyes, like he reminded me of someone he knows.

"Your children has a great talent Riché and those keen eyes are real treasures. Hearing about what you have said child I know someone who posses pearls." Sir Raven suggested.

Dominique look at my way and became serious.

"Sir Raven has a point Sue the incoming month would be the Pearls Season if we manage to grabbed some we could store some of it and create a fresh elegant design for the season." Dominique said thinking about it intently.

The Pearl season it was the day of pearl harvest were people in Philopia celebrates the heart of the land. One thing that East Cove kingdom lacks was Pearls the Philopia has a water spring in the North Area where the Giant Clams live.

"Thank you for the suggestion Sir Raven that would be a great help may I know who this someone is?" I asked.

"Baron Caesar Gin Worleitt he is a child prodigy not just on his pearl business but also he got his majesty's favor and trust." Viscount Raven proudly said.

"He must be so great by earning his majesty's trust. However, I don't think we'll be able to meet such person Sir Raven." I said with a face of regret.

It would be a waste if we won't be able to meet and join hands with that person.

"Oh dear you don't need to worry he's a gentle person when it comes to me." Viscount Raven proudly said.

Ehh?

A sudden fake cough was heard from Isä caught our attention.

"You mean to say he's only kind to you Raven, you're giving my kids false hope you dork." Äiti said while shaking his head.

Viscount Raven scratched his head and thought for a while.

"How about this try to impress him because that guy has interest on something that makes him impress." Viscount Raven said.

"I think that would help." Dominique said like it was a great idea.

Isä and Äiti also agreed with his opinion.

"I hate to say this but I envy your family so much it seems like the four of you was really getting along well." Viscount Raven said while looking at äiti with a satisfied stare.

He seems to treasure äiti so much like he was his precious gem.

"Thats why I'm telling you as your loyal friend to settle down and stop waiting for my Wife." Isä teased him.

"Maybe I should throw you away Isaac your getting in my nerves. Oh well, I don't want to take much of your family time I'll be off then." Viscount Raven said with a genuine smile on his face.

I don't know why but I adore his patience and kindness. It makes my hand itchy to grab something.

"Hold on Sir Raven I have something to give you." I said and excused myself.

I walk towards the counter and signed Dominique to follow.

"What?" He whispered.

"Have you made the Waist side chain?" I asked in a low voice.

"You mean the double curb chains? Yes I did and guess what I created a twist and made it similar to other waist chains of the knights however, it was made of platinum not in rope." Dominique said.

"Perfect give it to me." I said.

I saw him looking confused yet he stood up and opened one of the cabinets at lower drawers.

He handed the black box and I immediately took it.

"Sir Raven I would like to give you this as a remembrance and also for taking good care of our Isä. We will take care of him for you and love him as much as you loved him." I said.

I saw him smiled at ease and opened the box.

"This is such a precious gift are you sure you are giving it to me, I bet you haven't showed this yet in your shop." Viscount Raven said in hesitation.

"Please take it sir Raven." I said and smiled.

"Thank you Lady Sue I'll be off then take care of your parents." He said and waved us goodbyes.

"I will Sir Raven." I said staring at his carriage move away.

I look at my new family at the window they are happy talking and teasing at each other.

I'm glad to be part of them I won't let them be ruined again.

Dominique look at my way and signed to get inside, I smiled at him and walked in.

"Now I remembered if I'm not mistaken Baron Caesar Gin Worleitt is the one they called the pearl heir." Isä said.

"Its somehow looks mysterious father just think about it why does philopia has a hidden spring water? And why is it located at the North palace?" Dominique asked.

"Rumors have spread that he is a descendant of a water driad when the baron was young his parent's died due to an ambush. Because of this a sudden phenomenon have cause the Philopian people on chaos. The spring water clams have died and didn't bear a single pearl the people were worried because they barely grew a single plant. The prince suggested an idea that were hesitated by the Nobility Faction. The prince brought the young baron into the palace and guided him into the spring water. To his surprise the clams had produce pearls the next day and the plants grew back in life. The royal family have decided to adopt the child and took him in the palace as the prince trusted friend." Isä explained.

A small snore was heard on the left side making us turned into äiti and Dominique.

The two of them are already asleep from the long story about the pearl heir.

"I guess they fell asleep." Äiti laugh.
