After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1600

Chapter 1600: Althea’s New Skill? (Part 1)

There were actually a few candidates for his fiance. Liaroa’s brother was not even one of them. The Trions were now the top family next to the Lord, after all, and she was still one of the main descendants.

It was just that the Roach family’s offer was pretty good—Leccher was really obsessed with her—and her beloved stepmother decided it was more than she deserved.

Anyway, after a bit of investigation, her parents decided on the one from Hassen.

His name was Chanak, and his family specialized in making intricate pieces of metallic accessories, something the people in her family tended to collect. She could imagine what they’d be asking for in exchange for their own daughter.

That man was famous for his harem. He was also a disgusting slob. She had already met him months ago when they attended Octavia’s wedding. In retrospect, she might have caught his unfortunate interest back then, though he was still busy with three women, so he only remembered her lately.

Piddes was also a womanizer, but at least he looked decent and was the Hassen King’s heir! What did that bastard Chanak have? Looking at him hurt her eyes! She was supposed to wake up every morning to see that face? Wouldn’t death be better?

And... more than that... she could already tell the kind of treatment she’d receive there. It was fine if she didn’t know men like the Golds existed, but she did, so how could she just accept a horrid life?

One of Estra’s main traits was her stubbornness. If she liked something, she liked something. If she didn’t, she’d rather die.

In that letter she left at home, she simply said that she was eloping with someone and not to look for her, otherwise she’d make a scene and humiliate the whole family.

Hopefully, that would be enough. Anyway, they could take one of her sisters (she had plenty of legitimate and illegitimate sisters and cousins) to sell off to Hassen in her stead. She never liked any of them, so she didn’t feel guilty when she put them in that position. In fact, knowing what kind of women they were, they might not mind it as long as they were given chests filled with jewelry every so often.

In any case, just thinking of going back made her want to jump into a monster’s mouth. And this was a very real possibility at this time.

Thinking of this, she dropped to her knees. "Please take me with you! I promise not to cause trouble! If you abandon me, I’ll really die!"

Veronica and the rest of them looked at each other awkwardly. To be fair, although Estra was annoying and obsessive, she hadn’t done anything to them except annoy them.

They didn’t know if Estra was the type to use her own life to swear, but it didn’t seem like a casual threat. Somehow, it really felt like she’d die if they left her be.

In the end, Vaughn made Veronica decide. After all, she was the one who knew both sides—the aborigine side and Alterra’s.

Veronica sighed, looking at the redhead. "Fine," she said, exasperated. "However, you will be under a strict oath when you get there. And don’t even think about contacting your family for the next few years."

Estra’s eyes brightened. "Gladly!"
