Predatory Marriage (Web Novel)

Chapter 157. Unexpected Death (2)

Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

Cerdinas mother was beautiful. She knew it, and knew how to use it. It was how she obtained the title of Countess Weddleton. Blinded with love, the Count had covered up her low status.

When she was young, Cerdina would go with her mother sometimes to the center of the city, where they would turn off onto a road and find a particular alley. There was a group of men and women who sang there sometimes, playing on the strings of small guitars. When they saw Cerdina and her mother, they would approach excitedly, talking to Cerdinas mother in a language she didnt understand, and giving the girl jewelry and crude toys.

When her arms were already filled with toys, a woman with a charming smile placed a crystal orb on top of the pile.

—You may need this.

On the way home, Cerdina looked at the orb curiously.

—Mother, are you Estians? She had asked.

Her mothers beautiful brow furrowed. She answered in a soft but firm voice.

—We are not Estians. Neither are we Tomari. We are Toma.

Later, Cerdina ate her mothers heart to become more powerful than anyone else. But even this was not sufficient to conquer the world. The King of Estia was caught in her ambitions, and as soon as she saw the opportunity, Cerdina cast a spell that would turn the whole continent upside down.

It was something that no one else would have dared to do. She cast a spell that would make the humblest blood into the greatest.

“Ahh, ahhh…”

She screamed and shuddered as she cl!maxed. Her face was flushed as she twisted a silk cord in one hand and caressed the Kings cheek with the other.
