Chapter 690 - Lucy's Bottom Line
Marriage!
The more Lucy thought about it, the more she felt like Baymard truly catered for all.
People were only allowed to enter polygamous marriages if they were truly in love.
For sure, they could state their intentions and date.
But if they weren't ready to take the oath of love during their marital vows, then they weren't allowed to get married.
One should know that the people in this era were scared of breaking oaths and bonds, as it was believed that if they lied... then they could be severely punished by the heavens or cursed for all eternity.
So people who took their marital vows in Baymard took them very seriously and were very scared of ever defying them.
This also aided in them being treating their marriages as a holy union.
More still, what shocked some people over the years, a few actually practiced Polyandry in Baymard.
There were a few cases of men who decided to marry a single woman.
Well, there were just 2 cases here in Baymard.
And both cases were very similar
Both women in these cases were a year or two older than the men and had been taking care of the men from an early age when they were slaves.
Of course, the men in these cases fell hopelessly in love with these women and agreed to be with them forever.
It was like the Female lead had found a way for the Male lead and the Supporting male lead to end up with her in peace without any of them destroying the other.
Well, all Landon had to say was kudos to them.
Their destiny was in their own hands.
.
As for Lucy, she was actually used to a polygamous environment.
So she didn't have any qualms about Landon taking in another wife.
But to her surprise, whenever she spoke about matters like this to Landon, he always stated that he was monogamous through and through.
And even though she felt touched, she still maintained her polygamous stance just in case Landon changed his mind.
For her, if the woman truly loved Landon and stood for everything he was building here in Baymard, then she would willingly accept her.
But if she was just a jealous, scheming woman who would end up destroying Landon just for power... forget it!
She would rather die than let someone manipulate and control her future husband.
And so when her step-sisters mentioned the fact that they wanted Landon, how could she willingly agree?
There was no way in hell that she would ever let them come into the palace and destroy all that she and Landon had laboured for.
Girl!
Please try the next dude alright?
"So my dear sister, just do what father says and hand over your husband to us."
"I refuse!"
"What did you say?"
"I said, I...Re...Fuse!!"
The Gustav's looked at Lucy's fierce expressions in shock.
One minute she looked like an angel, and the next, she was glaring at them coldly.
What was going on here?
What the hell made her change so fast?
.
"I said, I...Re...Fuse!!"
Lucy gave up from her kneeling position and looked sternly at her shocked audience.
She was so angry that she seemed to have forgotten that just a moment ago, she was trembling at the feet of these people.
"You insolent wench!
How dare you!
Who the hell do you think you are to turn down my command?" Gustav said, while slowly getting up from his seat too.
He immediately towered over her, in hopes of intimidating her again.
But this time, it didn't work.
Lucy just looked at him coldly instead.
Right from the moment she had been accepted into mother Kim's family, one of her bottom lines was Landon.
She who had been beaten up on the streets before, seemed to possess immense strength whenever she saw Landon get beaten up.
And she found herself championing over several boys who had once beaten Landon up before.
Landon was her most sacred bottom line.
And no one had the right, to manipulate, or even dream about hurting her man.
How preposterous!
She looked at Gustav in the eye and felt no fear for the first time.
She couldn't help but wonder what she had been afraid of in the first place.
He even dated to threaten the future queen of Baymard in her own territory
(**Of course she was talking about her garden)
Lucy looked at the statues of herself all around and felt like she had been acting like a cowardly princess instead.
Kindness didn't mean that one had to be weak.
Just because she showed kindness to her family, didn't mean that they should ever bully her or force her into anything.
And as Landon had told her earlier on, she didn't need to worry about being unfilial.
Because whether the Gustav family likes it or not, they had disowned her years ago and removed her and her mother's name from their family registry.
So, she was just a stranger to them.
.
"Have you gone mad?
How dare you talk to your father in that tone?
After all the years of feeding you and clothing you, is this the thanks that your father gets?" Elvira said while adding flames to the conversation.
She so much wanted Gustav to snack the little sh**head into pieces.
Her eyes sparkled with expectation, as she continuously spoke up for Gustav.
"You unfilial child.
Kneel and apologize to your father, so that he won't punish you later on."
"Hahahhhahahah
Father?
Does he deserve to be called that?" Lucy said coldly.
And for a moment, the air seemed to be as tense as a battlefield.
Everyone sucked in their breath in shock, as they really couldn't believe that such words came from the timid and stupid Lucy.
They looked at Lucy again just to make sure that it was truly her.
Same face, same stupid girl.
But how would they have known that they had just unleashed a beast?
