Predatory Marriage (Web Novel)

Chapter 238 – Strange Potion (2)

Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

Lady Miraels disappearance wasnt the only strange thing. Cerdina was too quiet. Normally, she lived noisily and publicly, with tea parties and falcon hunting with noblewomen during the day, and invitations for men to join her at her palace at night.

But lately, it was as quiet as if she were dead. She stayed locked in her room and refused all visitors, even Blain.

Blain was just as strange. He knew Leah had lost her engagement ring, but said nothing about it. In the past, he would have been furious, but there was no yelling at all, much less any slapping.

Much had changed since the day the peach orchard burned to ashes.

“……”

Pausing mid-step, Leah turned to look up at the sky. It was cloudy again. It had been cloudy for days. Only in the capital.

Ishakan had told her about spells the other day, and at the time she had paid no attention because it seemed so silly. But could the weather be affected by spells?

Logically, the ones responsible were most likely to be the ones that benefited. She didnt even have to think deeply about it. All the strange things that had happened had raised up Cerdina and Blain. The new king was enjoying absolute power, thanks to the nobles who had become as obedient as dolls. He was still trying to command Leahs heart the same way.

There was a high probability that something inside the palace could cast powerful spells. Whatever it was, it would be linked to both Cerdina and Blain.

Then there was the recent increase in Tomaris in the capital, and the fact that Cerdina had allowed them to enter the palace as servants. The chain of events clicked through her mind.
