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.

However, she didn't know what would happen once she became a wife to a beastman, especially when that beastman was the King with the blood of war in his hands.

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.

She found it terrifying at first, but she had been imprisoned, tormented, and hurt her whole life, so it took her only a night to accept her fate.

Death is better than torment.

That was the miraculous sentence that she repeated last night.

She stared at Gale, wanting to read his emotion. She expected him to be terrifying in person because he first leaped into the palace ground as a giant black wolf with red eyes at night.

He was so terrifying that Swan thought he would destroy the castle.

Now that he was in a human form, he looked very attractive and masculine. He reminded her of that kind knight who helped her once when she was being beaten by the servants.

She failed to see any hostility from Gale, and he didn't seem annoyed by her presence.

"Don't just stare at me. Tell me what you have in mind," Gale said.
