The Devil's Betrothed novel Chapter 500

Chapter 500: Crown Princess’ Residence

Arthur and Nathaniel maintained silence, allowing Drayce to respond, "Just ordinary places where commoners visit, such as taverns and markets."

Curiosity filled Seren’s eyes as she admitted, "I have never seen what a tavern is."

"Would you like to see?" Drayce proposed.

"Yes?"

He smiled gently, "Alright, I will take you there."

Surprised by Drayce’s swift agreement, Arthur and Nathaniel exchanged glances as they could not imagine the Queen of Megaris visiting the place like tavern, the place that was not meant the decent woman let alone the esteemed woman like the Queen herself. They might have to ask Drayce to close his wife’s eyes so she would not see anything inappropriate and get the cultural shock.

But to their understanding now, as Arlan had attested, Drayce was entirely devoted to his wife, a fact was now vividly apparent to them. He would do anything to fulfil his wife’s wishes.

Cian, however, was less than pleased with the idea. "Are you really planning to take my sister to such a shabby place, King Drayce?" he questioned, clearly discontent.

Drayce, with a touch of mockery, countered, "Keeping her in a tower didn’t do any better as well. She has the right to see the outside world."

Cian, feeling the weight of guilt for keeping his sister locked away, voiced his concerns, "She can see the entire world, but a place like a tavern..."

Seren, with innocent purple eyes and a sincere plea, insisted, "Brother, I really want to see."

Unable to deny her request, Cian sighed and reluctantly agreed, "Alright, but I will come with you, and you are going to stick to me."

Drayce, however, raised a brow at Cian’s protective stance, asserting, "Do you think I cannot protect my wife?"

Cian, with unwavering determination, replied, "I do not doubt your capability, King Drayce, but this is what a brother should do for a sister when she goes to such a shabby place."

Seren, not wanting her brother and husband to clash, interjected, "I will be happy to have you, brother. We will get more time to spend together," she added, casting a pleading gaze at her husband, "We will part with my brother soon, so..."

"As you say," Drayce readily agreed, ever eager to fulfill his wife’s wishes. Whatever she desired, he would never deny her.

Seren turned to the surprised men, expressing gratitude, "Thank you for proposing to go out. Because of you, I will get to see something which I never could."

Arthur offered a hesitant smile, unsure if he and Nathanel had done the right thing, and said, "You are welcome, Your Majesty."
