Disguised Before The Alpha Prince Chp 73
Pearl POV The clang of metal echoed off the stone walls of the dungeon. The cold seeped into my skin, into my bones, until even my breath felt like frost. My wrists burned from the chains, the weight of the iron biting into bruised skin. My back ached, my legs were trembling, but it wasn’t the physical pain that made my heart stutter.It was the silence. The waiting.And the guards.Three of them entered. Their faces were hidden behind shadows cast by torchlight, but their intentions were not. One of them carried a long, narrow case—its lid creaked open with an ominous sound that sent a chill down my spine. Inside, glints of sharp tools reflected the flames, each more sinister than the last.I flinched. My instincts screamed at me to run, to vanish, to melt into the shadows and disappear. But I couldn’t move. The chains tugged harshly at my ankles, and my body was already weak from hunger and cold.“I told you,” I said hoarsely, my voice cracking with desperation. “I haven’t betrayed

Demyan’s POVThe forest road ahead was shrouded in fog, the trees skeletal under the weight of the night. My cloak billowed behind me, boots crunching over damp leaves and broken twigs. Beside me, Karl kept pace—silent, but alert. We had already crossed the border of the capital and were now moving toward the outskirts of the northern villages.I should’ve waited until sunrise.But I couldn’t.Every second Pearl remained imprisoned, accused of a crime she didn’t commit, was a second too long. Her face, shocked, wounded, betrayed wouldn’t leave my mind. That moment when the guards dragged her away, and I stood there… frozen. Powerless.I clenched my jaw as I gripped the reins tighter.Never again.I had promised to protect her.And now, I will make it right.“We’re close,” Karl murmured, pulling his horse up beside mine. “The man mentioned was said to be from this village. No known name. Just a shadow who deals in falsehoods. A hired whisper.”A whisperer. A man who made lies feel like

Pearl’s POVThe cold iron of the chain dug into the delicate skin around my neck as they dragged me through the stone corridors. Every step was jarring. The shackles clinked and scraped across the floor, a cruel rhythm that echoed with each tug on the chain. My knees burned, scraped from where I stumbled, but they didn’t let me stop not even to stand properly.“I didn’t do anything,” I whispered, hoarse.My voice cracked under the weight of panic.“I’m not a traitor,” I tried again, louder this time, as they yanked me forward.But they didn’t listen.No one ever listens when it matters.Their hands were rough, uncaring. Each time I resisted even just to catch my breath the guard at the front jerked the chain harder, forcing my body to jolt forward with a gasp. The pressure around my throat made it hard to breathe. I didn’t cry. I wouldn’t. Not when that’s exactly what they wanted.“You have the wrong person!” I shouted as we turned a corner, the walls narrowing with every step. “I’ve

Demyan’s POVI stood there. Silent. Motionless. Powerless.The evidence laid bare before the court, the forged letters, the coin pouch bearing the rogue insignia, the twisted reports from the woods, each one more damning than the last. And though every part of me screamed that this was a fabrication, a trap laid with venom and precision, I could do nothing. Not in front of them.My fists clenched behind my back as the council member presented the final scroll. It bore my father’s seal, falsified no doubt but none dared question it. Even I, with my authority, knew better than to dismiss it outright without proof. I glanced at Pearl or Perin, as the world still believed her to be. Her eyes met mine, confused, betrayed, searching for the voice that had defended her moments ago.But I had none left to give.I stepped aside, slowly, as though each move broke a bone in my body. I couldn’t speak. Not without jeopardizing her further. Not until I knew how deep this rot had spread.My gaze did

Pearl’s POVThe hall fell into a thick, choking silence as the Imperial Head Scholar stepped forward. His expression was carved from stone, lips a grim line as his gaze fixed on me sharp, unforgiving.“Perin,” he said, his voice steady and heavy, slicing through the tension like a blade. “You stand before this council not as a student… but as a traitor to the Empire. Evidence has been presented, damning and irrefutable. You are hereby accused of treason against the crown.”The words crashed into me like a tidal wave. The crowd gasped. Whispers burst like embers across dry grass.Traitor…?My feet felt frozen to the floor. The weight of the accusation bore down on me harder than anything I’d faced before. Not because I was guilty but because I knew, deep in my bones, that someone had twisted something against me. I had done nothing. Nothing. But that didn’t matter. The brand had already been stamped.I stood motionless, a single figure beneath the banners of the Empire, as the air thic

Pearl POV The sky above the academy was beginning to shift from gold to deep amber as Demyan led me away from the crowd. I hadn’t expected him to seek me out like this not after the confrontation with Rowan, not after everything that had happened. But he did. With eyes that seemed too serious for the casual way he held my hand, he pulled me along a quiet path toward the garden steps behind the eastern tower.I didn’t say a word as we walked. Neither did he. Not at first.When we stopped beneath the shade of the twisted fig tree, where golden sunlight filtered through the leaves like scattered sparks, he finally turned toward me, his expression unreadable."You left," he said quietly.I blinked. “I had to. Cecil was worried. I didn’t mean to worry you.”Demyan’s eyes searched mine, but I could feel the tension just beneath the surface. He wanted to say something, his lips parted like he might but then closed again. He nodded once, almost absentmindedly.“I understand,” he said.But th

PearlThe elderly man with the long beard, who was in charge of the examination, suddenly made another announcement while still seated. I remained at my place, but different thoughts began to cloud my mind.I clenched my fists under the table. Peanuts, wasn’t it? Ugh, I hate him. Why does he have t

PearlWhy is it so difficult staying alone? As I walked through the streets, I missed my aunt so much. She was right. This world is filled with awful people—like the ones I’ve recently encountered. Will I ever meet someone with a kind heart? Someone who’s not arrogant, selfish, or sly?Suddenly, I

PearlI walked toward the main hall where the innkeeper stood with the same poker face as before. I rushed to him and placed a few coins on the counter.“Is it possible to change rooms? I can't share my room with that person,” I said, trying to sound as convincing as I could.He pushed the coins ba
