PORSHA'S POV “Your scales... They're beautiful," I cursed the moment those words fell. It was one thing to compliment him in my head and another to say it out loud. Leviathan glanced at me, a proud smirk on his face as he spoke. “It's a good thing you can appreciate beauty when you see it," He voiced, his tone laced with mockery. I just rolled my eyes and gave a casual answer, “Your highness, the fact that part of you is beautiful doesn't necessarily mean you are attractive. Take a frog for example, it might have smooth skin but that doesn't mean it's a thing of beauty."His fixated on my face for a while before bursting into a chuckle. “You are amazing, aren't you Queen Porsha? You think one thing, then you say another, and even when you are wrong you still manage to save face by acting tongue," He said, his eyes gleaming with amusement. “It all depends on your point of view your highness I am simply stating my observations. I find your scales appealing that's all,” I declared wi

PORSHA'S POV I glanced down at my reflection in mirror. My makeup was spot on, but yet a splinter of doubt rose in my chest. Probably because I didn't fancy the color red or because I think Leviathan is plotting something. He was way too quick to accept my offer, what if he is planning to ridicule me infront of my parents. “Are you okay Porsha? " Anne questioned upon noticing my troubled expression. “No Anne. I'm worried," I confessed sincerely, knowing fully well I can't lie to her even if I tried. Anne ducked by my side, a frown creeping to her face as she asked. “What is the problem Porsha? Did Leviathan do something wrong again?"“Not yet, but I know he is plotting something," I informed, my tone laced with worry. Anne lets out a small sigh, before returning to her feet. “Porsha he already agreed to help you out. What more do you want?" She questioned, her tone high pitched, hinting at annoyance. “You don't get it Anne, you don't know Leviathan, not the way I do. He is plan

PORSHA'S POV I burst into an uncontrollable laugh, for Leviathan to even fountain the fact that I might be in love with him is just hilarious.“You think I Porsha of Vikland is in love with you?" I asked rhetorically in-between chuckles. “You must be delusional. I assure you I have 0.00% for you. The only thing that exists here is neutral respect."Truth be told I feel nothing but hate for Leviathan but I fear confessing how I truly feel would result in an unnecessary argument and I am not cut out for that. Leviathan glanced at me for a while, his expression unreadable before his lips curved into a small smirk. “I am glad we are on the same page, cause I would hate for you to fall in love with me, knowing fully well that I don't have a beating heart which can return those feelings." A small ache rose in my chest, of course he was as heartless as the come. It is heartbreaking to be married to a man who lacks basic compassion.“We should leave now, we don't want to keep your parents

PORSHA'S POV I stepped off my carriage feeling an unfamiliar sense of dread. Taking in a deep breath I walked down the path leading to the river banks, my feet trembling with every step. The ground felt like it was collapsing underneath my feet. As I approached the ritual sight, I spotted Leviathan, mom and dad standing there. It was a full moon so the blue light emanating from the river cast a warm glow over their face. I walked towards Leviathan, taking a stand next to him. The moment his eyes fell on me, they widened. It was like he had just seen a ghost. There was excitement in his eyes, accompanied by a hint of excitement. A small smile playing at the side of his lips.I felt a shiver run down my spine as Leviathan's gaze lingered on me. I tried to maintain a calm demeanor, but my heart was racing. Mom and Dad were watching, so I had to play it cool.The priest began to speak, his voice low and smooth, "As the ritual dictates, the couple must bathe together in the river, to p

PORSHA'S POV My breath caught in my throat.“Cook?"Cook for Leviathan and his family?In front of my own parents?The entire hall went silent. Then the whispers began... soft, sharp, poisonous.“She can cook?”“Does the girl even know how to hold a knife?”“Oh this will be entertaining.”Heat flooded my face so quickly I thought I might faint. My mother gasped quietly behind me, while my father shifted uncomfortably in his chair. I didn’t even dare turn toward them, I could feel their eyes burning into my back.Leviathan smirked, enjoying every ounce of my humiliation.“I… I didn’t agree to that,” I whispered sharply under my breath.He leaned down, so close my skin crawled.“You called me a coward, remember?” he whispered, his voice sweet like poison. “So now you’ll prove you’re braver. Or you’ll embarrass yourself trying.”“Leviathan...” I hissed.But he straightened and clapped his hands twice.“Kitchen staff,” he announced, “escort my wife to the royal kitchen so she can begin p
