196 What Did You Say?

Emma had weighed everything before she came to her decision tonight. She had calculated the pros and cons and alternatives for herself, her family, and Haoran.

However, it was only when she heard about Leon's death that she finally realized that there was no other way for her but to make this choice.

Emma took a deep breath before she finally asked this all-important question to the crown prince.

"Therius ... if I asked you to punish your grandmother, Queen Ygrit, for her crimes against my family ... would you be on my side?" asked Emma with a hoarse voice. She looked at the man with a deep gaze. "Are you willing to kill Queen Ygrit once you take the Akkadian throne? I want to see her suffer... That's how deeply I hate your grandmother."

Therius nodded without hesitation and replied firmly, "I will."

Emma took a deep breath. "Then ... I am willing to marry you."
