Chapter 13: Movie Star Charles Taylor Actually Acts with Her

Delphine had already read through the script on her way there. The supporting role she was auditioning for didn't have many scenes. She would portray Princess Emerald Pearl, hailing from a mysterious and isolated kingdom, who was born with no heart. To save her life, her mother had used the kingdom's treasured artifact, the Agarwood Jewel, as the princess's heart.

When Emerald Pearl grew up, she met the silent and reserved slave, Banquet, and fell in love with him. Who would have thought that Banquet was actually the scion of the Nine Provinces nobility? To save the one he loved, he disguised himself as a slave and came to steal the Agarwood Jewel.

In the end, the princess sacrificed her heart for him, never revealing to Banquet that she was the Agarwood Jewel itself, and the Agarwood Jewel was her.
