The private jewellery viewing room, Ruyi Store.
Xia Ying stood beside the Manager of Ruyi store head office surname Han watching silently as the plump elderly man unlocked the wooden security box. Manager Han turned the lock at the side of the box and gently lifted the lid before taking the pearl necklace out of the box and placing it on the display case.
"Your highness, this is the latest addition to our pearl collection. It is of the best quality and straight from Droko tribe, Dan territory", Manager Han said raising the wooden cushioned plate where the necklace was placed to give the Crown Prince a clearer view of the necklace.
Xia Ying felt the pearl by gently rubbing her hands on the surface of the necklace. "These pearls seem to be mixed?" She said without looking up from the necklace.
