Chapter 529: Visit To Luke

Meanwhile, in Arlan’s study.

Kerry bowed respectfully to his master as he entered, bearing news.

"Your Highness, Her Highness is preparing to visit a man named Luke and his family. The Vice Commander has made an arrangements for her departure."

Arlan continued his work, his attention divided.

"Your Highness, any other directives?" Kerry inquired. "Should I arrange to relocate that man and his family..."

"Ensure that whatever she wishes unfolds smoothly," Arlan interjected calmly, his tone unwavering. "If she holds concern for that family and their welfare, see to it that they live comfortably so she need not worry any longer."

Kerry was taken aback by the prince’s response. Shouldn’t his master be his usual possessive self, given that his wife was about to meet another man? Why was he suddenly so composed, as if it were of nothing to be concerned about?

Kerry looked at Imbert, who ordered, "Do as His Highness has instructed."

With a final bow to the prince, Kerry exited the study, pondering the unexpected turn of events. It was so unlike his master.

As Oriana and Rafal stepped out, a knight approached Rafal, whispering urgently in his ear before departing. Oriana observed Rafal’s return, curious about the exchange.

"Your Highness, Luke is currently at Ahrens," Rafal informed her.

"Is he still employed there?" she inquired.

"He had left his job to return to his village previously, but it seems he is now seeking employment in the capital," Rafal explained. "With no ongoing construction work, he may be offered alternative employment."

"I wish to visit him," Oriana declared.

Rafal nodded and directed the coachman towards Ahrens, opening the door of an ordinary looking carriage for her. Oriana turned to her master, Erich, with a sense of hesitation. "Master, perhaps this is not the right time. I will first meet with Luke and gather updates."

"Let me know if you require assistance," Erich offered before taking his leave.

Once Oriana settled into the carriage, Rafal mounted his horse and led the way. Along the journey, the carriage passed by the Thistle Palace. Peering through the window, Oriana caught a glimpse of the palace gates. ’He must be preparing for the royal court if he’s there. I haven’t informed him of my destination. I hope he’ll understand.’

Upon arriving at Ahrens, Oriana watched as Rafal effortlessly acquired information about Luke’s whereabouts within the estate. It was not uncommon for Rafal to be seen in attire other than his princely knight uniform, signaling to the servants and guards that their young master was embarking on a special mission.

The carriage made its way towards the heart of the estate, eventually halting at a designated spot. Rafal dismounted his horse and courteously opened the carriage door for Oriana. Stepping out, she listened as Rafal addressed her.

"Your Highness, allow me to lead the way."

Following Rafal’s lead, Oriana traversed the grounds until they reached one of the residences, where they spotted familiar figures. A composed man stood before a striking young woman.

"...Thank you for offering me work here, Lady Erin," the man spoke, bowing his head respectfully before the noblewoman.

"I did it as a token of gratitude for your protection that day in the market... Hmm?" Lady Erin’s attention shifted to the newcomers. "Brother?" Her expression turned to one of mild shock. "Y-Your Highness?"

"Luke, where are you?" Someone called out, catching their attention. They watched as Ken hurried towards them upon spotting them. _{freewёbnoνel.com}
