Predatory Marriage (Web Novel)

Chapter 55 – The King Akin to a Child

Leah drew a tight smile. She found Melissa to be adorable with the way she changed how she used to call them: from Barbarians to Kurkans. In response, she only gave a soft smile.

The agreement was already at its final stage. The peace treaty was not something that would happen overnight, nor resolved easily. Before they could fully enter the treaty in full confidence, she needed more information.

While she was confined in her quarters, she was sending and receiving news through Count Valtein. He would be too busy with his own duties as of the moment to even attend to her.

She also received some news from Laurent of the finance ministry. He informed her that he was ready to propose a new tax reform plan at the next Cabinet meeting.

Thats why she intended to combine the peace treaty with the reform plan.

Byun Gyongbaek held the pivotal role among the aristocrats who were opposing the plans. Once the peace treaty is approved, Byun Gyongbaeks influence would waver. Thats why he was pressed not to let the peace treaty happen.

This is the best course of action as of now.
