The Devil's Betrothed novel Chapter 696

Chapter 696: During Past Two Months

Almost two months had passed in the human realm while Arlan and the others were in the demon realm.

Meanwhile what happened in the human realm in these past two months since the moment they left.

In Agartha, everyone was anxiously awaiting their return, worried about what might happen. The two women were counting every single night, longing for their mates to return to them.

"Sierra, will they be alright?" Ember asked, her voice filled with worry.

"For them to return, it’s necessary for Oriana to regain her power and become the most powerful being in the demon realm," Sierra explained. "Only then can they return with her. The current lord of the demon realm must be more powerful than all four of them combined, and he won’t wait long to mark Oriana. Once he succeeds, there will be no future for Arlan and Oriana together."

"They will find a way," Seren said with determination. "Drayce and Arlan always find a way out, and with King Draven by their side, they will plan something. I trust them. Prince Arlan would never let Oriana go; he would never."

"We can do nothing else but trust them and pray for their safe return," Sierra added.

In the human kingdom of Griven-

It took nearly two weeks for Aaron and Lucian to reach the northeastern territory.

Arthur had remained stationed there after taking over the entire area and capturing Luis Mortiner’s two sons, other family members and his loyal subjects. He had been informed of everything and was eagerly awaiting the arrival of the two new lords of the Northeast.

One he already knew very well, and the other was someone new to him, but he was already impressed with the work Lucian had done and how he had become a thorn in Luis’ heel.

At the border of the territory, in front of the huge gate attached to the tall walls, Arthur arrived to welcome them. Soon, a large entourage approached the territory border.

At the gate, Aaron, Lucian, and Nathanial stepped out of their carriages and walked toward Arthur, who had dismounted from his stallion to greet them.

"Nathan," Arthur greeted his dearest friend with a hug, "I heard you’re finally be free from your father’s clutches?"

Nathanial hugged him back, "You heard right."

Arthur let him go and turned to Aaron. "Alex... or should I call you Lord Wynter from now on?"

"Whatever Colonel Lieutenant feels is right," Aaron replied.

"Drop the title already," Arthur said with a smile. "You’re no longer just a knight; you’re a lord now. You don’t have to be polite with me. Just treat me like you treat Nathan."

Aaron nodded and then looked at the handsome young man, who radiated noble authority even in his travel-worn appearance. "This must be Lord Rainier."

He instructed his subordinates to take care of everything at the border, while he decided to accompany his friends back to the main city and then guide Aaron and Lucian to their residences. It was a long journey from the border to the main city, taking another hour to reach their destination. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}
