Chapter 88: Madam Sofia’s Messages
"Is that all?" Luis asked, feeling that her words weren’t entirely sincere.
"I also want to traumatize him and make him afraid of me. In terms of status, we’re basically equal within the Whitemoon Family. Zane seems obedient now only because he’s still young. Once he grows up, he’ll eventually develop his own ambitions. If those ambitions get out of control, there’s a chance he’ll go against me. That’s why I need to act cruelly early on, so he develops a fear of me. In elite families in the empire, this kind of thing is very normal. Cousin relationships are fragile—siblings can even kill each other over inheritance," Isadonna explained frankly, hiding nothing from Luis.
Luis could only nod after hearing that.
He looked into her eyes, which happened to be gazing back at his, and it reminded him that they had already formed a marital bond between them.
"Have my parents gone to bed?" Luis asked.
"Yes, but I already told them that you’re marrying me and that weddings in imperial custom and tradition are very simple. They thought you wouldn’t be back tonight, so they went to bed early," Isadonna replied.
Luis was a bit dazed after realizing his parents already knew.
Now, they practically assumed Isadonna was his first lover.
With all the wonderful things he had done with Alice earlier in the day, he felt like this was wrong.
His mind wandered, unsure of what he should do.
But things were already set in motion. Isadonna had become his wife, and she seemed ready to be a devoted one as long as he treated her well.
