Edira glanced at the woman. A hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes as she thought that Molly was unaware of the consequences, and that was the reason why she made a promise such as this one. However, after listening to her words, Edira understood that the woman was aware of the consequences. She just didn't use her head to the point of realising that Killian might refuse her.
"Since you knew what might happen, why did you not think things through before? Why did you have to make a promise as dangerous as this one? I know that you are a wench who thrives on attention; you at least need to know what kind of attention you can take or not."
"Mom…" Molly looked at Edira. Her eyes were filled with silent pleas; she indeed never expected Killian's rejection. She had been anticipating his agreement; after all, this marriage match was not a bad one. As long as the two of them ended up reaching an equal base, she was certain that the match was going to work.
