“Once I issue my edict, you will not be able to change your decision. Have you thought this through, Catalina Shaw?”
I kneeled on the floor. “I have. Please give the order, Your Majesty.”
The queen nodded. “My edict will reach the Shaw family’s estate within three days.”
After thanking the queen, I turned around and left the palace.
As soon as I returned to my family’s estate, Eldwin Gennings barged into my room furiously. He glared at me and barked, “You disgust me, Catalina. How could you ask the queen to make me marry you against my will?”
Recalling the moment he cut my wrist tendons in my past life, I said coldly, “I did not ask the queen to get us married.”
My half-sister Rosalie Shaw, who had been standing behind Eldwin, stepped forward. “The news is out that Her Majesty has issued an edict for your marriage. It has spread all across Oberon Kingdom. Why are you trying to hide it from us, Lina?”
She teared up while speaking. “At the end of the day, we are not meant to be, Eld. From now on, you will just be my brother-in-law.”
Eldwin immediately embraced Rosalie and comforted her gently, “Don’t worry, Rosie. You will always be the one I love.”
They disgusted me, so I chased them out immediately.
