Predatory Marriage Chapter 3 – At a Shabby Inn

The wedding of Leah and Byun Gyongbaek of Oberde was arranged. To her frustration, her opinion was not heard, it being given no importance in this political marriage. She received the news without any prior discussion.

Isnt Byun Gyongbaek a faithful hero of Estia? The best expression of gratitude from the royal family is you, indeed!

I told you that your body belongs to the royal family. This is a duty a royal princess must bear.

This is for the sake of Estia.

Words that were supposed to comfort her further fueled her ire. To tie her to her duties, people start whispering to her ears, gauging her to submit to the royal decree. Byun Gyongbaek wont want a hesitant wife, after all!

Upon finding out that her existence was only for the sole purpose of gearing up a beneficial treaty, she felt despair. And as soon as the immeasurable sorrow left her, anger took its stead.

As her gaze raked over the official document notifying her of her union with Byun Gyongbaek, she had made up her mind. She decided to leave a long-lasting disgrace to the royal family of Estia, even if it meant an untimely death for her.

As she refused to resign to the fate the royal family painted for her, a wicked plan started to take its course.

Tonight, she would have an overnight company. The royal family would then be accused of giving a deflowered bride to the high and mighty Byun.

For a moment, as her decision took precedence, she held her breath. Her fingertips trembled badly as fear slowly crept in… Her hair stood on ends and legs slightly wobbled.

However, this slip of vulnerability quickly faded; her determination remaining undampened.

The night was young. Leah bit her lower lip tightly and continued to grace the street shrouded in nothing but darkness and obscenity.
