All Chapters of Marrying Her Off : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Her lips went shut when she saw Lorenzo coming out of the room. Oh…She took her bottom lips into her mouth immediately, suddenly running out of words. Where was he off to, huh? She needed him to be in the room to make it easier for her. She was still trying to prepare herself.Her eyes danced around him as he walked towards her direction, taking his usual gentle steps - gentleness that can be deceptive.He had his sheath in his left arm and wore a black cloth which made Carlotta think he was going to the field to practice - as usual. Does he think of anything else aside war??She continued staring glumly at him until he'd gotten to where she was. Lorenzo was of course, surprised seeing her there, but being the kind of man he was, he wasn't ready to ask any questions and just decide it was best to walk away.Carlotta's heart gave a mighty leap when she saw him walking away. Hold on; whaaat???She turned around immediately

Tears strolled down Hilda’s cheeks as she watched the boys bring out their swords and take it to the neck of her son who was tied in front of her.They were going to kill him!!"No! Please! Don’t touch him, please! He’s all I’ve got". Hilda cried out, wanting to stretch her hands but couldn’t since her hands were tied.How did it get to this point? Who were these men and why were they trying to cause her pains?She could remember vividly; she’d returned home and found them in that state - her son tied to the chair with the boys beside him. What could be going on? What has she done to deserve this?"We don’t have to hurt you or your son, young woman" one of the boys suddenly said, taking the sword closer to her son’s neck and threatening a cut."But if you don’t do as we say, we’ll have no choice but to make you live a lonely life because your son would definitely be going beneath th

Carlotta and Ginevra decided to check the field to see if Lorenzo would still be there."Are you sure I'm looking good enough?" Carlotta asked, taking a look at her toes."Honestly, you're looking stunning, Carlotta. But I'm still wondering what exactly you have in mind, you know? And I really can't wait to see it" Ginevra giggled."Just wait and see, Ginevra. I definitely have something good. Just wait till Lorenzo sees me"The few people they came across couldn't stop stealing glances at Carlotta, especially the maids who always knew her to be so unruly and dress like a commoner some times. Why was she looking explicitly different today - they wondered.Her long hair which was styled to the right fitted her long blue gown which sparkled a little. Her make up was just perfect and brought out a beauty they'd never seen in her. Well, that was how the wife of Lord Lorenzo should be, just that, they weren't used to this particular wife of his.

By dawn of the following day, the news of the fight taking place between Lord Lorenzo and Prince Aiken had gone really rival.Kings and Rulers had gotten an invitation to the venue of the fight and they were all muddled, wondering why Prince Aiken would challenge someone like Lorenzo to a fight.They all know him - he was the master of swords, the demon fighter. Kingdoms were scared of going to war with him. So, why would Prince Aiken want to bring trouble for himself?Some of them felt it was a waste of time going to see how a mere prince would be killed. But the others felt they would really want to enjoy the show.That morning, Carlotta sat in the room with Ginevra, talking over it with breakfast."But why would Prince Aiken challenge Lord Lorenzo to a fight? Just because he wants revenge?" Ginevra asked, munching on her bread."It’s just like a fly going to challenge a lion".Carlotta said nothing as she only ate in silence,

Carlotta could feel her heart in her throat as soon as the words escaped his lips.Her heart stopped beating instantly, confusion and anxiety taking over. What did...What did he just say?"M… My Lord?" She stuttered, her eyes glued to his face."I don't… I don't think I understand".Lorenzo said nothing, but only picked up some vegetables with his spoon.Carlotta was gobsmacked. Was this guy for real?Slowly, she turned and glanced at the door, a crazy idea popping in. Goodness! There was no way she could run away. His guards by the door would definitely seize her as soon as she steps a foot."You should start eating, Princess" his cold voice suddenly broke into her thoughts, snapping her out and she looked up at him."Um… Of course, I'll eat. But the aspect of spending the night here, I hope that is different" she feigned a smile and began eating, while Lorenzo said nothing.*The res
