Chapter 267: The Monster That Horrified Monsters [1]
[ZULA]
[Still hundreds of years ago]
There had been whispers across the kingdom about a certain woman the king had decided on.
A woman for a house that wasn’t unknown to the high-borns. She was a nobody, just someone from the lower caste that the king thought he could play with. Or at least that’s what many had thought.
Anyone who knew the mad king knew that the man was never one for affection, so they knew that the woman had to have some issues with her life for the king to choose her.
They expected that she was a warrior, a bloodthirsty warrior who didn’t care for lives just like the Erasthai the fates had choices for her. They had tried to make sense of many things regarding what the criterion was for her choosing, but none of them ever understood.
It was as if this was the punishment that the fates had chosen to give to him, the king who had ruined so many lives. Maybe it was a chance to measure how the king died, given most of the war heroes had been brought down by women.
It was pathetic, truly, how everyone was desperate for anything to keep the king on a leash. They were not sure what they wanted exactly, but one thing was certain, they all pitied the unfortunate woman who had been chosen for the king.
But was she on the same page as them?
"Are you sure about this?" Nakamura asked his daughter, Liana. He knew of what the king was and he knew that she didn’t have much of a choice, but a part of him still hoped that his daughter would be courageous enough to say no to the mad king.
Honestly, Nakamura figured death was a much easier fate than being mated to Zaffuto Hinata. He couldn’t be blamed though, because the man who had come to seek his daughter was nothing close to an angel.
