Marigold fell into the Yandere's arms

Chapter 2

Translation provided by - Shy heaux Translations

'Why did I have to fall into the arms of a madman?'

Edwin never releases anything that comes into his possession.

The only time he releases someone from his grasp is when they become a corpse and are no longer useful.

None of the people he kidnapped in the original work has ever succeeded in escaping.

[Please... please kill me. No...no more...]

Those who were caught trying to escape had to suffer through an endless amount of torture and horrific pain until it finally killed them.

Then their bodies were added to the growing pile of corpses that littered the blood-splattered floor.

'Do I have any hope of surviving?'

I shuddered as the scenes from the original story flooded my mind. Suddenly, Edwin's words popped into my head.

[My bride, god has finally sent me a gift.]

Among the abductees in the original story, not a single one was said to be his bride.

Then...

"Um, Ed?"

When I summoned up the courage to speak, he gazed at me with a smile that reached his eyes.

"I have a question."

"Answering questions is a pet peeve of mine. But I'll give my bride special permission to ask one."

Edwin playfully tapped my nose to show how generous he was being with me.

I swallowed hard and asked carefully, "Why do you think I'm your bride?"

"I received a prophecy. The oracle foretold that my life wouldn't be short-lived if I married a woman who fell from the heavens."

'A prophecy?'

It was customary for the royal family and nobles of the Assyrian Empire to receive an oracle's prophecy from the Great Hall at a young age.

However, only the prophecy of the Crown Prince was mentioned in the original work.

Of course, there was no mention of Edwin looking for or finding a bride.

"After receiving the prophecy, I wondered for a long time if god was making fun of me."

He still had a smile on his face, but his narrowed eyes were cold.

Somehow, the temperature in the room felt cooler, so I rubbed my arms to warm myself a little.

"After all, it seemed like God was telling me to die early."

I didn't say anything and just nodded reluctantly.

"So, I killed every oracle who insisted that the prophecy was accurate. F**k the prophecies."

Edwin laughed like he truly thought his actions were funny. The way he smiled made him look really insane.

I flinched and tried to pull away, but I couldn't move because of the firm arms wrapped around my waist.

"But, after a lifetime of waiting, I never expected someone to actually fall from the sky. Or anticipated that my bride would be a Jueri."

When he smiled, he looked so happy.

"Maybe I should apologize to God for doubting him."

On the other hand, I was still reeling from shock.
