IT IS NOT ENOUGH.
I HAVE TAKEN ESTIA COMPLETELY INTO MY HANDS,
BUT IT IS STILL NOT ENOUGH.
I HAD PLANNED TO REACH OUT TOWARD THE OTHER NATIONS STARTING WITH THE WEDDING.
I INTENDED TO CRUSH THEM ONE BY ONE AND PLACE THE CONTINENT BENEATH MY FEET...
BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT BLERVON WOULD NOT MOVE AS I WISHED.
ENOUGH, I WILL JUST RUIN EVERYTHING PROPERLY AT THE WEDDING.
THOSE BARBARIANS ARE A BIT OF A NUISANCE, THOUGH...
I AM A GOD NOW.
SO...
I DO NOT RECALL INVITING ANY GUESTS...
WHATEVER BRINGS THE KING OF KURKHAN TO VISIT ME AT THIS UNGODLY HOUR?
...A MAN SEEKING OUT A WOMAN'S CHAMBERS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT CAN ONLY MEAN ONE THING.
I HAVE NO TASTE FOR BEDDING BEASTS,
BUT IF YOU'RE A KING, PERHAPS JUST ONCE...
AH...
WH- WHAT IS THIS...!
AAH!!!
...!!!
WH—
WHY...!!!
HEAR ME.
UGH...!!!
KYAAAA!!!
I MERELY LEFT YOU ALIVE BECAUSE YOU WERE STILL OF USE.
IT WOULD BE WISE FOR YOU NOT TO TEST MY PATIENCE ANY FURTHER HERE.
I HAVE SENT A GIFT TO YOUR SON.
THE NEXT TIME WILL NOT END WITH A MERE WARNING...
LOOK FORWARD TO IT, QUEEN.
UGH!!
MOTHER!
BLERVON...
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!
WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED TO THE KNIGHTS AND MAIDS OF THE PRINCESS'S PALACE....
I DECIDED I NEEDED TO RUN...
BUT I CANNOT STOP THINKING ABOUT ESTIA AND BLERVON.
...ISHAKAN.
...I SMELL BLOOD.
ARE YOU HURT ANYWHERE?
AS IF.
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO EVER ASKS IF I AM HURT.
JUST...
WENT AND TAUGHT SOME BASTARDS A LESSON.
IF YOU TEACH THEM A LESSON TWO MORE TIMES, ALL THE EVIL IN THE WORLD WILL BE COMPLETELY WIPED OUT.
...HOW ABOUT TAKING A BATH TOGETHER FOR YOUR HUSBAND, WHO WORKED HARD OUTSIDE?
A BATH?
BUT THE HOT WATER...
YOU DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THAT.
MYURA REALLY DOES GOOD WORK.
IT'S WARM!
I ALREADY WASHED UP ROUGHLY, THOUGH...
I ALREADY WASHED UP ROUGHLY, THOUGH...
DID I SMELL LIKE BLOOD THAT MUCH?
...I THINK I HAVE JUST BEEN A BIT SENSITIVE LATELY.
IT MAKES ME HAPPY THAT YOU WORRY ABOUT ME.
IT IS GOING TO GIVE ME BAD HABITS.
BECAUSE I KEEP WANTING YOU TO WORRY ABOUT ME.
Predatory Marriage Chapter 98 centers on Ishakan as he delivers a brutal nighttime warning to the queen who seized Estia and then returns to his worried wife. The queen gloats over controlling Estia but rages that Blervon will not move as she planned for crushing the continent after the wedding. The King of Kurkhan overpowers her in her chambers, threatens her son, and leaves her injured for Blervon to find. Later Ishakan comes back smelling of blood, reassures his wife he only taught some bastards a lesson, and joins her for a warm bath prepared by Myura.
