Predatory Marriage (Web Novel)

Chapter 61 – When Patience Runs Out (2)

The luncheon atmosphere felt like it had been doused by ice-cold water, sending chills to those onlooking. Although the continent despised the Kurkans, calling them barbarians, the remark was said behind their backs.

One would never dare to say it in front of them, much less to their king!

Cerdina stared at Blain, shocked by how upfront he was in the presence of Kurkans, let alone Ishakan.

In the freezing tension, bright golden, yellow eyes and frosty blue eyes collided with each other. An internal battle raged as Blain glared down at Ishakan. A relentless hatred conveyed in his glare.

“Im saying this out of concern.”

Ishakan, who had never lost a fight in his life, was not the type to avoid Blains provocation. Instead, he chuckled at Blain, who openly brought out his claws and emanated hostility. It was a smile that looked like the tease of a playful young child.

He tilted his head back slightly and raised his eyebrows.

Seeing his languid gaze, Blain clenched his jaw, preventing the string of venomous words to leave his mouth. He utterly despised the man before him.

“Estia doesnt seem to have much intention of making friends.” Leah looked at Ishakan with trembling eyes, but his gaze focused on Blain, missing her. “I thought you had the same goal, but now, I dont think so.”

The relaxed laughter disappeared. With his mouth closed in a straight line, in his golden eyes, a storm gathered.

“Is todays luncheon to interrogate me?”

“No.” It was Leah who answered on behalf of the Estian family, breaking the silence.

“Misunderstanding, my king.”

“…”

Ishakan turned his gaze slowly. He looked at Leah with an expressionless face.

Knowing the weight of the situation, Leah quickly covered up for Blain. “The prince wants peace with the Kurkans more than anyone else. Hes the one who is abolishing the slavery of your kind.”

She did not know what Blain or Cerdina were thinking, but she was desperate to keep the peace in Estia.

Blain opened his lips to say something but stopped when he felt Leah clench his forearm. Fortunately, he kept his mouth shut again.
