Bab 86: Ulterior Motives

Fang looked at my face with amusement. It was like I had decoded him and instead of being conscious of that fact; he looked proud that I could understand what went through his brain. I turned my body to look at him and said, "looks like the leverage to use this marriage against my parents has slipped out of your hand" 

He smiled solemnly, "I can still break it" 

"Of course you can," I smiled back, crossing my hand over my abdomen. "But the only way to do that is I marry someone else, and who better can Fang Warchild trust than his own self. Both the families now know each other and seems like you lost this card from your hands, to use the marriage and keep the crown of Adalolpha wound around your fingers"

I was almost cornering Fang, but he placed his palm on his chest, looking at me, tilting his head with so much adoration in his eyes.
