Predatory Marriage (Web Novel)

Chapter 341 – Jealousy (1)

Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

King Herod of Balkath was a man with a brilliant mind. He was as eager for knowledge as he was for s3x.

He had been greatly anticipating this trip to Estia because he believed he could satisfy both urges there, not only exotic knowledge, but new women. There was nothing better.

He set out for Estia in secret, so he would not have to see the Queen of Balkath for a few days.

As soon as he arrived, he spent his evenings in the Estias red light district, and was out wandering through bookstores when the sun came up. During the day, he spent his time reading books and gathering information about the royal family.

When he found a bookstore he liked, he rented the whole place for the duration of his stay.

That was where he was, quietly reading a book when he heard the shop door open. Thinking the shop owner had returned, he went back to the front, only to find a woman.

He had forgotten to put a Closed sign on the door of the shop to keep people away for a few days. But the sound of her voice aroused him, so Herod decided to accept her as a guest. Besides, she wasnt just a fellow reader, she also spoke ancient languages.

He wanted a look at her face.

Really, he had no expectations; he was just curious about who the owner of that voice was. So he pretended to fall, and grabbed for her hood, finally revealing her face. It was the icing on the cake.

He had never seen such a beauty. But what struck him even more than her perfect face was how those fine features looked when she was embarrassed. He could not forget that trembling of her eyes, or the way she swiftly controlled it. That sudden coldness shook his heart.

She was definitely the kind of woman Herod liked.

It was a little disappointing that her eyes and hair were an ordinary brown; he thought she would look better with more striking coloration. He would want her to dye her hair, in future.

Estia had many beautiful women, and he could only hope its Queen would match the beauty he had seen in the bookshop. He was curious to see why so many powerful men had risked their lives to have her.
