A princess with a twisted past. When her fate takes an unfortunate turn, she is thrown off her pedestal and into the web of marriage with the bloodthirsty king of the enemy kingdom. Faced with life and death choices, Delaney must decide whether to side with the enemy—her new husband—or her family who betrayed her. __ As the son of the sun goddess, Darius finds his life unnecessarily long and boring. Until he meets his bride, Delaney, the feisty, fiery princess who is rumored to have rejected suitors by the dozen, the only female descendant of his arch nemesis, and a demon princess. When they get married, will he use her in his quest for revenge, or fall in the trap of her charm like every other male does?
Chapter 121
"Grandfather, look who's here!" Delaney yelled excitedly as they entered Archer's castle.
He couldn't help observing how happy she looked. She was carefree and active like a young woman with no rules to follow, unlike the princess she was before, whose every move had to be graceful. He observed that she hadn't had any problems skipping to the other side of the river instead of using the bridge because apparently, she hated the bloody river and was scared the bridge might break while she crossed it. However, one thing had not changed. She still loved carrying swords everywhere and wouldn't hesitate to use them if anyone threatened the lives of the people she cared about.
"Grandfather?" She called out again when Archer didn't say a word. Meanwhile, she pointed their joined hands forward. "I'll show you to my room, then."
He chuckled at her underlying meaning. "Okay."
