The Devil's Betrothed novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385: Anger and Quarrel

The Queen walked towards him to stop him, "What are you doing, Arlan?"

"Going to show this woman her true place." He dragged Oriana away with him.

The knights standing outside, Imbert and Rafal, as well as Commander Loyset, were shocked to see him this angry and taking Oriana away with him, who was trying to free her hand.

"Let go of me, you jerk," Oriana shouted angrily.

Thankfully, there were no other servants in that hallway to witness it other than the Queen’s lady-in-waiting and a few others who held high positions in the Queen’s mansion.

"Your Highness," the commander blocked his way, "You cannot take her away."

Arlan’s gaze moved to his face, "It’s between me and my betrothed. Do you dare meddle between me and my future wife, commander?"

"My responsibility is to protect her."

"She will be delivered back to you," Arlan spoke and walked away with Oriana, who stopped struggling to free her hand.

’Let’s see what he wants from me. One thing I know for sure he won’t kill me because of the King.’

Arlan dragged her to the carriage and instructed the coachman, "Palace of Thistle."

Shiver ran down her spine as she heard it. It was his residence and why was he taking her there.

"I don’t want to go there."

"Shut up," Arlan angrily shoved her inside the carriage and closed the door.

The servants of Rose palace, aghast, bore witness to the unfolding spectacle. One singular question weighed heavily on their minds: did their Crown Prince hold no affection for the Crown Princess?

"Lady Karla, what is happening?" One of Karla’s servant pulled her attention to the Prince who was dragging Oriana and forcibly shoved her in the carriage.

Karla followed her gaze, and was equally surprised, but then she looked at her servants, "Pay attention to your work, all of you."

The servants quietly obeyed her and everyone focussed on their works.

Arlan, seemingly indifferent to the world’s chatter, mounted his horse and steered it towards the Thistle Palace, with the carriage and knights following in a disciplined procession.

Upon reaching the palace gates, Arlan dismounted his horse alongside the waiting carriage.

"Step out," he ordered.

The coachman promptly opened the carriage door, and Oriana reluctantly emerged. Meanwhile, Arlan’s knights intercepted Commander and his men at the Thistle Palace’s gate.
