Violet Zerotta’s Hasty Marriage

Synopsis

Violet Zerotta’s Hasty Marriage Chapter 29 has been released. Violet Zerotta stood numbly before the altar, her hands shaking as she exchanged vows with a stranger whose name escaped her mind amidst the chaos. Her father's gleaming smile seemed to mock her desperation – another failed bet, another debt to be paid off through marriage. But it was not until she turned to behold the face of her groom that her resolve crumbled. He couldn't have been more than twenty himself, his piercing blue eyes sparkling with an unbridled enthusiasm that belied the weight of war-honed muscle beneath his leather armor. The bandaging wrapped around his arm told its own tale – one of recent injury, perhaps even grave loss. Yet here he stood, promising love and protection to a woman he had barely seen. Years melted away like sandcastles battered by storm-tossed waves. In between battles, pamphlets scribbled with crimson ink found their way back home – each letter postmarked with a hastily scrawled 'V', bearing whispers of longing and unease. War shattered his dreams, tempered his will, but did little to still the embers within him. When finally, worn down yet untamed, he emerges onto Violet's doorstep, something inherent about him has altered forever. With rosier cheeks, steadied heart, Aldric professes anew what he sought three long years ago: genuine companionship in matrimony. The push-and-pull dance began – whenever swords clashed on distant battlefields outside those locked doors, love shook itself free inside them.
