Finally, she could breathe again.
After the ceremony, she decided to visit her husband's grave and stay in the Jasmine Villa for the rest of her life, away from the treacherous nobles.
But that peace lasted for only a few seconds as she realized she had to fulfill her end of the deal with the council. The council wanted her to marry Jerrick and it wouldn't matter who ended the engagement, she would be held responsible.
