Chapter 248 : I will take everything

Eira was at loss for words, had Jacob just asked to court her? Why in the world would he do that? I mean she realized that they were both at that age, but in order to court, weren't two people supposed to be in love or at the least like each other? If anything, Jacob and her barely liked each other, so what the devil had possessed him to ask for courtship.

Well at least that was what Eira thought; clearly his request to court her meant he harbored more feelings than he let on. Or maybe this was a matter of politics? It was no secret that whoever would marry Eira would be in line for the Gavarian throne when king Gareth stepped down. Was that Jacob's goal? Power? He really didn't seem like the type.
