Predatory Marriage Chapter 2 – The Princess and the Savage

Blairs eyes shook with anger. Slowly he lowered his hand and strode close.

“Dont you ever think that this marriage can let you run away from me.” A hair breath distance between them, a contemptuous whisper pierced into Leahs ear as though it was of a snake. “The day I ascend the throne… Ill be the first one to bring you back here in the capital.”

It was a threat, but Leah felt no fear. Instead, a soft laugh slipped from her lips, which stabbed the prince deep in his gut. She wanted to answer back but realized that exchanging words with a senseless person would be a dire waste of her time. Without a farewell bid, she got on the carriage, completely ignoring him.

When the carriage door was closed, Blair shouted and pounded against the door with his fists. But Leah couldnt hear his long-winded curses and insults anymore— she chose not to listen rather. Whatever the prince said, his words were futile—a wooden spear aimed at steel.

The carriage moved and with the turn of its wheels, a tear rolled from Leahs eyes.  She pulled the curtain slightly apart and looked out of the window. The palace of Estia was rapidly moving away from her sight, from her grasp…

It is a place where she lived her whole life, but she felt no regret or sorrow. Leah never belonged there from the start.

However, there were lingering feelings that bothered her.

“…”

She bit her lower lip and closed the curtain with a sigh. She didnt know why she kept on thinking of him. a cocky, unruly, inscrutable man.

From what she heard, the brute left the palace a day ago. Ah! She scolded herself internally. It was foolish of her to miss an already broken relationship. But while cursing herself for being stupid, she still couldnt shake off the onslaught of thoughts.
