Toxic Marriage - Chapter 12.1
Chapter 12.1
They did not let her bring Risyr this time too.
It wasn’t that she didn’t understand why. On the surface, she was just eating dinner with her husband, and no wife would bring an escort knight to a dinner date.
“It really is just regular food this time, right? I haven’t eaten properly for days so I don’t have the energy to throw up. Don’t joke around; just tell me while I’m being nice.”
“Didn’t I already tell you?”
“You also called it a dinner on the first day.”
Erik cleared his throat as Freya scoffed.
“… It really isn’t like that today. We can’t delay the union any longer.”
Freya felt suffocated by the word ‘union’.
Planning their first night while waiting for her to get better… She had guessed it, but hearing it directly made her realize that her only usefulness was to be a ‘placenta’ for his child.
Subsequently, one of the useless pieces of information she had seen in a book came to mind.
When the energy of divine power and evilness meet, all the senses are maximized, and you can have an ecstatic experience during s*xual intercourse.
Why did she suddenly remember what that book said?
Freya took a deep breath behind Erik, praying that she would never have to go through that ecstasy. She would definitely run away from here.
However, as she got closer to the dining hall, there was a smell of meat in the air, and she was able to experience a doubling of her senses even without the energy of divine power and evilness meeting.
She had been filling her stomach with only one meal a day, and only rice gruel, so her five senses were stirred by the delicious smell. She struggled to swallow the saliva in her mouth without it being noticeable.
Freya tried to ignore her instincts by mentally revisiting the path she had taken to come here. She had been so absent-minded on the first day that she couldn’t memorize any of the paths, but now she was paying a bit more attention.
“We’re here. You can go in.”
Just as her stomach was about to rumble and her saliva was about to overflow like an inexhaustible treasury pot, Erik announced they had arrived.
She would face Fenrir Niflheim alone, like on the first day. Erik opened the door and pushed Freya in.
“I’ll wait outside.”
Freya came to her senses and ignored the hungry stomach. She couldn’t let the margrave hear such noises.
The Margrave of Niflheim.
When she looked straight ahead, she could see the margrave sitting at the top seat of the long banquet table.
Freya paused for a moment as the horror of the first day came to her mind. Her will, unwavering even in the absurd situation she was in, lost its strength due to the instinctive fear she felt when facing the margrave.
However, the more she showed that fear, the more he would try to play with her. Like a beast that was ready to mercilessly bite when its prey looked back.
With her mouth dry from the smell of food filling the space, Freya mustered up her courage and took a step forward.
As she sat at the table, Fenrir gave her a slow glance.
“You’re all skin and bone.”
“It would be strange if I gained weight like a pig.”
A smile appeared on Fenrir’s lips.
“Where is the woman who swung a knife at me?”
“She died. When she realized the miserable situation she was in.”
Fenrir laughed at Freya’s reply.
She thought that it wasn’t a good reaction. Even on the first day of meeting this man, he looked like he was looking at something amusing.
However, he did not test her anymore and instead pushed the plate on the table towards her.
“Eat.”
“…”
“You’re hungry, aren’t you?”
He sounded like he knew she was faking being sick. The more it seemed so, the more she tried not to be agitated.
“Didn’t your attendant tell you? I’ve only been eating rice gruel for a few days.”
“I know.”
“So? Do you want to see me throwing up at the dinner table again?”
She could do it if that was what he wanted.
Fenrir, who had been staring at Freya at her harsh retort, withdrew his gaze.
“I won’t force you if you don’t want to eat.”
Fenrir began eating alone, letting Freya sit still like a centerpiece at a table.
