All Chapters of The Kidnapped Bride: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

I had left five days ago. I had no word from anyone. Well, I was on a ship, so I could not get a word either, unless it was with a raven. Ravens had a way of finding someone. I did not know how it worked.The High Priest did not approve of using ravens for communication. According to him, ravens were the vessels of devils. I never believed that. The books never told us anything about that. Religion did not say that. Sometimes, priests and priestesses and religious people made up different rules and facts which had no proof and they were not even written anywhere. They were made-up facts that those people tried to force up to believe in.Another fact was something Sully told me without ever picking up a religious book.“Religion does not say that a woman cannot be a leader. There is nothing of that sorts in religion. But the High Priest, our father and every religious man in this kingdom believe that women cannot be leaders because their religion forbids it, when that is not the case.

The war had started. Jade Star gave a few conditions.1. Sully Star must be returned to House Star without any physical harm.2. Rosalia Star must be returned to House Star without any physical harm.3. House Silverclaw will publicly ask for the forgiveness of House Star.4. Alexander Silverclaw will be stripped down from the position of the Head.5. Demian Silverclaw will annul his marriage with Sully Star.6. A Silverclaw can never marry a Star again.When I read those conditions, I could not help laughing. Without seeing my father’s face, I knew how he would react.First of all, Father would not agree to any of those. He would never give Sully away. I would not give Sully away. He would never hand over his wife. My father would rather eat shit than ask for the forgiveness of House Star. Besides, how could someone ask for forgiveness when they did not think they did anything wrong? My father did not think he did anything wrong. He took what he could. House Silverclaw would never ask

I had not seen Demian in ten days. I had no way of knowing how things were going. I did not know if he was safe or not.I was anxious all the time. I ate less. I could not digest anything when my husband was out there in danger.Besides, there was still no sign of my plan working. I lost almost all the hope that I had.So, this was going to be the first time I felt defeat. It was an ugly and disgusting feeling. I hated it.When I messed up my potions, I always got very angry. It took me a long time to calm myself before trying to make those potions again. Unlike me, Leo could calm down soon.Our professor said that it was my only weakness. The frustration, the anger that I felt if something went wrong.“You are too fond of winning. Sometimes, you need to know what losing feels like as well. That way, you won’t feel like you lost everything when you finally lose once. You have patience, Sully, but even with this much patience, you cannot always win. When you lose, it is important to pi

My plan was simple. I always had the feeling that there was more to the little vacation than Demian let on. That was why- I started to leave trails behind. I kept the window open and threw purple pearls from the window. Demian did not notice because he had been busy trying to keep his legs from cramping and other times, he was massaging my feet.I had to be very cautious so he would not notice. Demian’s eyes were sharp. He noticed everything.That was why I had the feeling that this plan might not work.There were a lot of guessing involved. I was betting on Rezef’s feelings for me on this matter. He had to be the one to find the pearls because only he would recognize them. I had the belief that he was smart enough to know that I would not be at House Silverclaw.Rezef did not disappoint me.Now, I would have to explain everything to him, but that would have to wait for a bit.I told Rezef not to kill the guards that they took captive.We reached their camp on horses. Rezef wanted to

Sully escaped. Once again. I did not know exactly how she let Rezef Thorn know about her location, but she did do it somehow and that was without my knowledge.That woman was too cunning. She even fooled me.I was pretty sure she was going to use Rezef Thorn to get to Kyle.I had been gone for a long time because of a complication. I needed to defend the estate because part of Jade Star’s men somehow got inside the estate. It had been bloody.My left eye still hurt. There was a cut right under it. One of the men of House Star almost took my eye out.And now Sully was gone. This woman was driving me crazy in all the ways possible.She was now at the camp of Rezef Star. I could not just go there. It was hard to sneak in there. I could get as near as possible, but it would be hard to meet her there.I did not doubt Sully’s loyalty. It lay with me. She did not care about Rezef Thorn romantically. She was just using him to gain her objective.I just hated that she escaped from me again aft
