Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Did I Terrify You?

Wife.

That word echoed in her mind as she struggled to find the true meaning of it.

Of course, she was not stupid enough not to know about marriage in general. Her biological father, the late King Tyrion's marriage with Queen Anastasia wasn't the ideal one, but she got the gist of it.

Queen Mother had repeatedly told her that she would die at the hands of the beast. She would get chewed until no bone was left, and nobody would remember her.
