The Devil's Betrothed novel Chapter 427

Chapter 427: How The Plan Started

Arlan was escorted back to his chamber with Oriana and Drayce with him. Drayce settled Arlan on the bed and heard Oriana ask, "This evil black magic...."

"You’re well aware of what I am," Drayce responded, his voice tinged with understanding. "You should know it won’t affect me."

Oriana could only nod in response before turning her attention to Arlan. She cocooned him beneath layers of thick blankets and headed toward the fireplace to replenish the woodblocks, determined to maintain warmth in the room for Arlan’s sake.

"He always feels so cold when he returns," Drayce overheard Oriana murmuring as she did everything in her power to create a comforting environment for Arlan.

Drayce, his concern mirroring Oriana’s, approached Arlan, his hand gently touching Arlan’s forehead as he closed his eyes. In a silent gesture, he transmitted the essence of his own power to Arlan, aiding in his recovery from his weakened state. _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}

Oriana observed Drayce’s actions, and once he was finished, he turned his gaze toward her, explaining, "This will provide him with some relief, but his body must deal with the harm brought by black magic, a vile sorcery created using his very own blood. There is little more we can do for him but allow him time to heal on his own."

"I understand," Oriana replied, her determination unwavering.

Just then Yorian and Slayer appeared inside Arlan’s chamber, using Yorian’s teleportation ability.

"How is he?" Slayer asked as he walked towards Arlan to check on him. Knowing that the black magic can not affect him, Oriana didn’t stop Slayer from approaching.

"It might take time for him to recover this time," Oriana answered, "To protect me, he took that witch’s attack on himself when he was already weak."

Yorian raised a brow, "And you say he doesn’t care for you?"

Oriana felt speechless. He really protected her but his other actions made her confused when he showed how much he hated her. But with new things coming in light, she could finally get the answers to her confusion.

"So what did you find out?" Yorian asked her.

Oriana replied, "I did as Lord Yorian and King Drayce had asked me to. I did everything to keep her engaged to access the extent of her power and make her talk."
