God Of Lust - 84 Chapter 84

That same night that Patriarch Wu accepted the marriage of the young heir Huang Zhang with his second daughter, Qiuyue Wu.

…

*Sigh*

Patriarch Wu sighed in exhaustion while sitting in his own office located at the highest point of the main mansion.

Observing through the glass window, he from his office could see all the extensiveness of his Wu family;

“With this … we will be safe,” Patriarch Wu murmured with some guilt in his eyes.

* Steps * * Steps *

A few hurried steps were heard, and then the office door was forcefully opened by a beautiful mature woman who had some wrinkles between her eyes, wore a silk nightgown and had long, loose hair.

She was Liryl Wu or also called; ‘Matriarch Wu’

“Liryl …”

“What about this!?” Liryl approaches him angrily and places the marriage agreement approved by him strongly in front of his desk.

…

Qiuyue Wu was returning to her room, she was exhausted while she returned from training with her sword, her beautiful face was somewhat soaked and her limbs somewhat exhausted and weak.

While she was heading towards her room, she stopped as she passed by her Father’s office, as she heard a strong argument between her father and mother.

‘Father and mother are fighting? How strange, they never fight’

Curious by the strange fight of their parents, she approached slowly and observed secretly.

There she saw her mother Liryn Wu arguing with her father about a marriage agreement.

‘Marriage agreement?’ Qiuyue Wu was surprised to learn this, she did not understand what agreement her parents were talking about.

“How could you accept the compromise without even consulting Qiuyue!?” Shouted her mother Liryn.

While listening, Qiuyue Wu trembled to learn that she had been compromised without even knowing.

Her father Wu refuted all the angry screams of her mother, angrily claiming that if he did not agree to marry her to the young Huang Zhang, then they could not get the support of the Zhang family and they would have to face the war against the Zhou family who had the help of the second imperial prince.

“While I did wrong not to consult Qiuyue, but our Wu family is in danger! What do you want Liryl to do, maybe you tell me to refuse marriage and allow our Wu family to be exterminated!? ”

His mother Liryl frowned, as she did not know how to respond.

“Liryl, Qiuyue is already 19 years old and she has not married yet, do you want her to end up being equal to our oldest daughter, Renka? Do you want her to end up being a spinster and then leave the family to go to who knows where?”

Liryl trembled greatly at the mention of her daughter Renka, even she could not help but clench her fists;

“Renka … Renka said she was going to travel the world …” Liryl says in a trembling voice.

But Patriarch Wu lets out a bitter sigh;

“She already left 9 years ago and since then we have not had any contact with her, do you want Qiuyue to become like her?”

“But … but still, you should have asked Qiuyue if she wanted to marry Huang Zhang!”

Patriarch Wu went to the window and looked at the sky;

“I’ve seen that Zhang boy and he’s a chivalrous and honest young man, he has many women from the capital in love, he will be a good husband for our daughter, you yourself mentioned some time ago that Huang Zhang could be a good husband for Qiuyue”

“Yes, I said it … but, but that was just my opinion, we do not know what Quiyue thinks of him”

Sighing, Patriarch Wu could only sit tired in his chair;

“Liryl, we have no other choice … it’s the only way to avoid war with the Zhou family”

Mother Liryl clenches her fists and leaves depressed…

…

Qiuyue who had witnessed the whole discussion of her father and mother, then quickly fled to her room and lay down looking towards her ceiling.

She could not stop thinking about everything she had heard.

Her family was facing possible extermination and to avoid this her father had committed her to Huang Zhang of the Zhang family.

She remembers that several times she met Huang Zhang, who was admired by all the maidens of the capital that considering him an honorable and chivalrous man with a great future ahead of him.

But Qiuyue did not see it that way, she had gained the ability to see through people, and to know if people were good or bad.

And she knew that Huang Zhang was not at all a good person as described in the capital, she could see the arrogance and contempt typical of a child spoiled by his family reflected in the inside of his eyes.

All the honorable and chivalrous appearance that Huang Zhang showed was nothing more than a false appearance.

With some tears in her eyes, Qiuyue remembered her missing older sister

“Sister … sometimes I would like to be like you and leave to travel the world …” Qiuyue murmured sadly as she remembered her brave older sister who was resplendent as the sun and always defended and protected her.

Many would probably think that her sister Renka, who disappeared some time ago, left to escape all the problems she would have as the eldest daughter of a noble family and left all the future problems to her younger sister Qiuyue.

But Qiuyue did not think that way, since she felt great admiration for her older sister who had the strength to leave the Wu family and pursue her dreams, unlike her older sister. Qiuyue knew that she herself had no dream and that she did not have the courage of her older sister to escape from the Wu family.

Sadly she could only accept everything…

“Maybe this is what my older sister meant when she told me to be strong …”

Qiuyue muttered, while that word of becoming strong continued to resonate in her mind…
