He Who Covets the Abandoned Bride (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 186
“I must risk my life….”
Isabella repeated Adrian’s words to herself, yet still met his gaze with eyes full of suspicion. Adrian, however, didn’t avert his eyes from her sharp stare; he simply sat calmly and impassively.
After a brief silence, Isabella finally spoke.
“Then tell me—what is it you wish to obtain by risking your life?”
“Isn’t it obvious?”
“Obvious? Power, perhaps?”
Adrian had thought he’d been rather direct, but judging by her response, perhaps he’d actually been too roundabout. For a moment, he furrowed his brow.
It seemed Isabella simply wasn’t accustomed to such matters.
“Power… even if I rose higher here, all I’d gain is more burdensome duty. I’m already tired enough just managing Harkin’s territory.”
In truth, governing the Marquisate of Harkin was so troublesome that he’d entrusted it entirely to his vassals.
“…Then…”
“What I desire is Your Highness.”
“So the Marquis truly doesn’t value his own life.”
“Well, sometimes something more important than life appears, doesn’t it? That’s just how foolish humans are—willing to brave any danger for their own pleasure.”
At Adrian’s provocative words, Isabella snorted. Then she looked him up and down, taking in his appearance as Marquis Millay.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:
What she can’t stand the most is the streets full of effeminate men, especially that so-called top beauty whom she avoids at all costs.
Shen Yaoxing looks at Jiang Mingyue, who keeps approaching her with coy shyness.
Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
