Predatory Marriage (Web Novel)

Chapter 58 – Antics and Misfortunes

With a small, soft laugh, Leah was brought out of her daze. She saw Ishakan smiling at her, wearing a slightly puzzled expression on his face. He looked at her, the meaning behind his golden eyes was clear.

Did you give it to her?

Leah subtly shook her lowered head. For a split second, a wave of nausea overcame her, which caused her to immediately bring the back of her white hand to her mouth, covering it.

Without a doubt, within the princess palace, there must have been a traitor. One, who also had a very close relationship with Leah.

Until yesterday, the princess palace was strictly forbidden to outsiders. Only those who were allowed in and were close to the princess, knew about the extremely valuable treasures hidden away–tyrian silk. Made from the dye of ten thousand crushed snails, the deep rich purple silk was reserved only for the royals.

In order for the dress to be taken away, a person from the inside of the princess palace must have intervened. To be exact, its one of Leahs maids.

Therefore, this was not the end of Leahs cover. Shed move on as a royal daughter. Even if they made a decision, there would be a division among the maids. Leah was not in a position to find out the suspect and didnt know what to do to begin with. She was also worried that Count Melissa, the head maid, would severely blame herself.

Leah glanced at Cerdina who was smiling. Beneath her cruel smile, she was quietly hiding her sinister intentions, anticipating Leahs reaction. Leah had thought that the queen would grace her by leaving her alone for a while. However, again, Cerdina twistedly started her play, slowly strangling Leah.
