Predatory Marriage — Chapter 266. Clarifications (2)

Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

Blain was not part of the royal family of Estia.

Cerdina had not only hidden the fact that she was Tomari, she had conceived a son with another man and then claimed that he was the son of the king. And even that had not been enough for her. She had aspired to place him on the throne, and had succeeded.

Leah’s expressionless face slowly hardened as she realized everything Cerdina had done. She bit her lip. But in her fury, she suddenly had an idea.

“Is it possible to make it look as if a spell has been broken, even if it hasn’t?” She asked thoughtfully.

“It is possible.”

“Then…if it’s also possible to pretend to be under a spell…” Slowly, Leah outlined her plan for him. If done correctly, they might be able to damage Cerdina’s spell on the people of the palace. She would need to shake them hard, if she wanted to wake them up.

Leah talked for a long time, excited by the possibility, and Ishakan finally agreed to try it if Morga agreed that it was possible. And though Leah was exhausted after talking for so long, as soon as she caught her breath, there was another matter she wanted to discuss. –Posted only on NovelUtopia

“I remember escaping with you,” she said, sure that he would remember all the details of the story. But Ishakan only looked at her curiously.

“We never escaped,” he said, crossing his arms. “I kidnapped you.”

“You kidnapped me?” She asked, puzzled.

Ishakan looked mischievous.

“Oh, yes,” he said, smiling. “You didn’t want me to, but I kidnapped you anyway.”

“Don’t joke.”

“It’s the truth.”

“……”

The more she learned about her past, the more confusing it was. What had her relationship with this man been like? Leah shook her head and brushed it away.

“I meant…when we were young.”

The words sank into him, and she saw the pupils of his golden eyes contract, and then shrink. Somehow, that sight made her feel a little afraid.
