Pearl sat atop a wide bed in the room that was now entirely his. After officially becoming a White Tiger, he had been given one of the many rooms available to him within the palace to permanently move into.
The room was just as grand as his grandfather's, with mirror-like polished white marble covering the ground and alabaster walls complimented by golden designs etched onto every available surface.
It was more of a house in itself, with other rooms for him to use as he pleased.
Two palace guards now stood before the golden doors to the room, forever there to protect his privacy or assist him in anything he might need.
Pearl remained lost in thought on his bed for some time, thinking about the upcoming trial he would have to go through. He didn't imagine the need to worry too much about the regular trial itself, but given his grandfather's concern, he worried about the unexpected.
There was a knock on the door, and he heard one of the guards announce his grandfather's arrival.
