Juri looked at the man dressed in what would go for high end luxury around these parts. As his jewelry and upper body clothing were made out of the finest of pearls.
Also, the gold crown the Prince wore proudly on his head was decorated with the flashiest sapphires, amethysts, crystals and jade jewels she had ever laid eyes on. Plus, those were the only ones she recognised. No doubt there were a few rare ones that she hadn't identified.
"You belong to me now," the Prince said to her.

Up close the Prince looked even taller than she remembered, more ripped in physique and deeply tanned. His hair reminded her of golden corn as it curled in ringlets around his ears, sometimes unconsciously he would use his hand to brush away the annoying curls that kept falling into his face.
