Slap! freёwebnovel.com

Bang!

A beautiful woman was thrown smack to the floor. This slap was very heavy and, despite her high level, the side of her face turned red.

Her sight saw blots of dark and light, making her feel even dizzier. If a level 10 woman were hit by this slap instead, she’d have lost her head.

She also tasted a bit of rust and knew her mouth was bleeding somewhere. She gulped it down and tried to gather herself without showing too much weakness.

Octavia shakily raised her head, looking up at the man who slapped her.

"Say that again," Bleumrick said, as if daring her to do so. Octavia bit her lips, eyes teary as she looked helplessly at the old man.

"Father..."

Even if Octavia had pride and was strong, she was only a woman of this world in the end. She had been raised to follow whatever the men in the family would say. Now, it was her father, next it was her husband.

And her future husband... was one of the most disgusting men she had seen.

Her betrothed was no other than Piddes, the Hassen Lord’s disgusting eldest son.

She had known of his existence, but she did not care for him before. This was especially since her eyes had always been on Orion, the man she had always thought she’d marry, growing up.

So, not knowing enough about the other man, she didn’t think too much when her father assigned her to him.

It was not like she had a choice, though she did run to the then-incarcerated Orion. It was a foolish hope, but she thought that maybe—maybe—Orion would succumb to her in that position.

He didn’t, of course. He never did.

She left in anger, cursing him, hoping for him to get a fate of suffering with the woman he chose.

However, when he and his family disappeared—possibly dead—she was left in her own thoughts.

Her guilt and longing ate her up for the next few days, and she only had the energy to meet people again when she was forced out to meet her betrothed.

He went to visit her through the teleportation array—an expensive endeavor—and was supposed to be something that’d touch her heart.

It certainly touched many women, and they went on about how amazing he was. Some were aiming to compliment and gain favor by making her feel lucky, while some mentioned the man’s bed skills—obviously aiming to make her feel bad, particularly when some of them had actually experienced it personally.

Such was the world of women. Even as an eminent lord’s daughter, she would still experience this.

Piddes was quite handsome. He had good features inherited from his mother. He also had light amber hair that made him look ethereal and charming.

She wouldn’t have cared for him even if she knew before, but not when she was going to be with him for the rest of her life!
