*UPDATE: Guys, thank you soooo much for reading, voting, and commenting! It really means a lot!
Also, I started writing this story May 11th, 2022. I had NO idea there was a scary movie called Pearl. I just thought it was a pretty name. In a world where elves and humans coexist, a dying half-elf French witch travels to Japan in order to transfer her power to an old friend and lover, the wizard Hajime. The witch's granddaughter, Pearl, arrives from Canada, as she was invited to receive this gift in a special ritual. Meanwhile, Prince Hinata of Japan is preparing to marry Princess Achara of Thailand, but he doesn't like this arrangement.
Pearl's obsession with royalty lands her in hot water with her grandmother, and following an argument, she is taken to the Palace by a royal servant. Quickly realizing what happened, the old witch and wizard must work together to save Pearl from the Prince. But things become complicated after Pearl falls in love with him while remaining mesmerized by a friendly, half-elf kitchen servant.
I'm interested in Japanese culture and watch NHK News. (I've always been into anime, kabuki, and sumo as well.)
This work is not meant to be offensive in any way. All discriminatory language used by characters is used to show who they are, not my values.
I guess I predicted Kamala and Chappell with Sadako...being mocked for her laugh, a queer woman into drag, etc.
Fun fact: Pearl's birthday is September 25th, making her a Libra.
Amma's song is based on "Teach Me, Tiger" by April Stevens.
Sexual restraint (or purity culture) is what makes the Prince crazy in his treatment of women; the elves express sexuality in a healthy way compared to humans, thus showing the contrast between them. The Prince's isolation definitely factors into this, too- Pearl is the first "different" girl he's seen, so when he sees her, he sees her more as a comforting concept than a person.
"You will be the mother of my children," said the man in a commanding tone. His shameless words rendered Emmelyn speechless and shocked, more so, than the kiss he landed on her lips earlier. "I need three children from you."
"Eh ... wait.. what? Hold on a minute," Emmelyn, who was moved from her shock, hurriedly rubbed her lips roughly as if trying to remove the devil's marks from them. "I don't want to be your wife! I don't want to marry you, you devil!!"
The man frowned and squinted his eyes menacingly. "Who said anything about marriage?"
THE NEXT DAY
"Let's go," said the prince.
"Let's go where?" Emmelyn asked, not understanding.
"Let's go make babies."

SYNOPSIS:
The crown prince was cursed on the day he was born, that he will never be happy. What's worse, no woman could touch him without dying. Thus, finding a wife to produce an heir became the royal family's greatest challenge since the prince is the only son.
Until one day.. A slave girl who tried to kill him didn't end up dying after they touched. Emmelyn was a princess from one of their colonies who vowed to avenge her family's death by killing the crown prince.. And that's how she ended up in his castle.
Seeing that she was the only woman he could have sexual relationship with, without killing her, the prince made an agreement to let her go and free her kingdom from his oppression if she produced for him three heirs.
Emmelyn said yes, but every day that they were together, she made plans to kill him and get her revenge.
Can Emmelyn get what she wanted, or would she be entangled deeper with the enemy who was deemed as the devil incarnate himself by his enemies when she found out he was actually more of an angel?
