After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1450

Chapter 1450: Powerless

Trigger Warning: Dubcon (initially). Sorry, Octavia’s one of the major recurring side characters so I ended up writing a bit more about her POV. This should be the last one~

After the ceremony, there was a massive feast. It could be said that food flowed into the venue. What made it especially impressive was the use of ingredients from far away, some of which were even characterized by sea products.

They were definitely transferred here by crates via the teleportation array. For smaller items like the condiments, the Level 3 Post Office array was sufficient.

The food was also a bit salty, indicating the large use of salt. There were also fish, which in Bleumrick’s opinion didn’t taste too good, but having them in ample amounts was indicative of the status.

Hassen Lord was low-key in terms of their power, but he rarely held back when it came to showing wealth, which was not surprising due to how old the territory was.

Not to mention, although not as strong or influential as Holt City, Hassen could be considered to have an absolute monarchy as its power structure too, which Bleumrick had been wanting to receive from his own territory.

He wanted to be called ’King’ and he wanted everyone, including those damned nobles, to bow down before him as well. This alliance, he believed, was a shortcut to that status.

Later that night, he would fall asleep with beautiful women in his arms with a satisfied smile, not thinking about what his daughter would be going through right at that moment. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Octavia felt like she was dead during the whole ceremony, and she felt the same as she was ushered to the wedding room.

She wasn’t supposed to be at the feast and was only delivered food in the room while she waited for her new husband.

She knew this food was laced with a love potion as well.

"Milady, you should consider eating it as soon as possible," one of her maids, a brunette with a large birthmark on her face, said.

Her name was Esstia. They were supposed to leave her before the groom arrived, and the head maid—Trea—already did, but Essta remained.

Esstia had been one of the maids that Octavia was most comfortable with. She never stepped out of bounds, was respectful, and was sincere in serving her. This was the first time she said something presumptuous.

Strangely, Octavia wasn’t angry. "You really think so?"

"It is up to you, Milady...I dislike the image of losing control but...it will make the night easier for you, Milady," Esstia said, though her slumped shoulder indicated she was uncomfortable with the entire thing.

Indeed, this was her choice. The Love Potion would, at least, soften the blow. However, she’d have to completely let go, losing a part of herself in the process.

"However, if you do not want to eat it..." Esstia paused, revealing a small box of food. "You should at least have energy."

Esstia stared at her and bowed a bit, finally leaving her behind.

In the end, Octavia ate both dishes. If Piddes realized she didn’t consume the love potion, then he could truly be more violent with her for defying him.

However, Esstia’s food, although it was a typical dish she had always eaten, was filling. It felt like it padded her stomach and her psyche enough that she could eat the laced food with less pain in her pride.

She also just needed to take a couple of bites from the laced food, and it would pass as her simply not having enough appetite.

After a couple of minutes of eating, the door finally opened, revealing the man dressed in metallic attire.

He looked at her deeply and stopped just at the side of the bed. His hand extended to touch her face, and she unconsciously avoided it. This made him frown and he forcefully grabbed her face. It hurt a bit and a bit of tear crawled down her cheek, but the man didn’t particularly care.

Piddel was not an ugly man. Rather, he was quite handsome. Still, to Octavia, she still felt disgusted under his touch.

"Well, I like it when they struggle at first," he said with a smile on his face.

The inebriated Piddes pushed her back the bed and ripped her gown. He licked his lips as he admired her.

Octavia didn’t like it, but she was taught from a young age: Lie down, let your husbands do what they want.

It was also around this time that she felt the Love Potion kick in. She felt hungry for something she did not want, and she felt uncontrollable heat all over her body.

So this was what Orion felt, huh? This powerlessness.

For a man who was so obsessed with control and order, it must’ve been the greatest punishment.

And she was the one who forced it on him.
