Predatory Marriage (Web Novel)

Chapter 52 – A Passing Fling (2)

Leahs pale complexion soon turned to normal, and when Melissa saw that she burst into grateful tears! A fact she sheepishly admitted to the princess.

“I really thought something worse would happen.” Melissa continued, as her lips began to tremble, and eyes turned watery.

Leah opted to change the conversation, wanting to prevent any further waterworks from the Countess.

“What happened to Byun Gyongbaek of Oberde?”

At the mention of Byun, Melissas expression brightened up as she delivered the news.

“Byun Gyongbaek was completely humiliated this time.” she proudly announced.

“Is there even something that can humiliate him?” Leah asked, raising a brow in doubt.

“I thought so, too.” she giggled before continuing her story in a cheerful manner.

“I didnt know how much drink he had, but he was discovered by the fountain without his pants on. By the end of the banquet, all the aristocrats who were coming out of the hall saw him in such a shameful way.” She winced as she remembered that moment.

Melissa had been amongst the many witnesses that time, and thus had provided the princess with a detailed description of his embarrassing discovery.

Apparently, they all discovered him face down, butt naked.

“He also sustained a broken leg, so he might be limping for a while. But we very well know Byun Gyongbaek doesnt get drunk that easily.” Melissa pointed out, “I even heard that even if he did get that drunk, he isnt one to make such grievous mistakes. So, its quite possible he was poisoned or drugged with the wine.” she mused to herself, before brushing it off as unimportant.

Judging by Melissas disposition, its most likely that word of what Byun Gyongbaek did to Leah last night, had not spread throughout the palace.
