"But it was after marriage things started changing. No to be exact 2 years after marriage. Well.... even if I say that, we have been married only for 3 years now.

He.... became a lot more ambitious.

I am not against his ambitions. I know most people, especially those who sit at the top have ambitions to climb higher.

But... he started using immoral ways. For instance he started charging more taxes in our region so that he can have more resources.

Though that can help him in short term, it would be disadvantageous in long term. But it was as if he never understood this.

I felt iffy for the first time in a while. There were many things he did before which could arouse suspicion of his nature but I was never able to see it.

But since I saw him changing slowly I started feeling afraid. It was as if something possessed him. So I started to argue with him whole trying to bring him back to how he used to be.

At first he listened to me. I felt happy... I was truly happy that he was at least willing to listen to me.

So I felt I should use my strength and intelligence to stand beside him and help him.

I wanted to help him... and give him a surprise. That is why I hid the businesses.... I was doing... in order to get him more resources for his cultivation. But... but he got to know them somehow..."

At this time she bit her lower lips. She was completely red by now. Kylo was stunned. Her gestures were so charming that it can mesmerize most of the males on this continent.

If one ignored her sad eyes, her blushing face with her biting her lower lips were too seductive.

But surprisingly her beauty was not what stunned Kylo.

[Why is she drunk?!]

Yes Kylo was stunned how she was slowly get drunk.

It is not like a cultivator cannot get drunk. For cultivators to get drunk, they need to have alcohol prepared with materials much higher than their cultivation level.

And Kylo was sure this pub was not a place where they would have alcohol containing ingredients high enough to get someone of Rosalyn's level drunk.

That meant only one thing.

[She did not purify the alcoholic contents...]

That was the conclusion Kylo got at. And he was right! If any cultivator get drunk it is difficult to purify the alcoholic contents.

Why? Because that would mess up their thoughts and concentration level. Purification needs concentration on circulation of Qi properly to filter the impurities.

Rosalyn did not mind Kylo's bewilderment. Or maybe she was not sober enough to notice it and continued speaking "Do you know what he said me?

For the once time in my life I was slapped by someone I loved.... No... maybe that was not the first time... but that was.. definitely the first time he hit me willingly and consciously... He... that bastard said 'women like me should just stay and breed for him'"

Kylo raised his eyebrow, even he was a little stunned. How can someone of his position have such back dated thinking??

There were many rulers and leaders far far stronger than Kylo or Rosalyn's husband who were females. Empresses who had her own harem, matriarchs who rule one of the biggest clans and there were even female rogue powerhouses who were strong enough to kill Kylo just by looking at him.

Tears were already threatening to come out of her eyes. Somehow it felt incredible that she still was not crying.

"This happened... four months back. I was extremely disappointed back then... I felt... my world slowly burning.

I remembered how happy I was.... when i saw him for the first time... glad he was not trash... like many of my cousins got married to. And maybe... that was why I still did not give up hope.

I felt maybe he was just under extreme pressure due to his ambition.... Yes.. I know that was... was just a stupid illusion I created. But I wanted... to believe my illusion. And since it upset him... I withdrew my businesses.

But things got worse. He did not even talk with me. I wanted our relationship to get better...But no... he continued ignoring me.

And.... and two months back he even bought a damn woman with him!!" Kylo stopped her hands, tried to stop her from continuing to drink. But she just shook her hand and continued drinking.

She already drank more than four litres of alcohol by herself.

Her eyes were already misty. Maybe because she was drunk or maybe because remembering her hard days.

She continued "He said something like 'I will become an emperor gradually, so you better be ready for a harem'." Kylo's lips twitched at this moment.

Rosalyn did not notice it. "I... I still endured it. I felt... maybe, just maybe we can return to how we were in the past.

Be happy.... be in love with each other. But he suddenly started accusing me... few days back that I was cheating on him." She stopped drinking by now. With a self depreciating chuckle she continued "He said... that I was a bitch... He, that bastard wanted me to leave him. I still wanted to explain this was a misunderstanding.

But he did not listen to me. And... And today evening he...that bastard was having fun with two women in our room.

He even ordered me to sit and watch him. At this time, I cannot think of anything else. I just ran... ran away then few hours back in this place.

And do you know what is the most ridiculous thing? He did not even follow me. Hehehe It has been few hours and there is still no news of him searching for me."

And she continued to laugh at herself.

After few seconds, Kylo suddenly pulled her lightly from her seat and made her sit on his lap.

Even though she was drunk, it was not like she could not understand what was going on. She was greatly flustered.

Kylo did not give her any time to think. He hugged her tightly from behind and whispered in her ears

"You endured enough, for now forget everything and just cry."

And this worked like magic. Even though she did not cry loudly, anyone nearby could hear sniffing voices.

Her head was on Kylo's shoulders...

And the melody music continued...

(Author Note:- Alright guys, now do not say how can a human consume so much alcohol. I mean there are guys who can easily drink few bottles by themselves in few hours.

And it is not like 7-8 litres is something amazing since they are cultivators and their body structures are different.)
