The Devil's Betrothed novel Chapter 721

Chapter 721: Talk About Erin’s Kids

Lucian and Rina arrived at Nathaniel’s estate, where the butler personally welcomed them and led them inside through the main door. Nathaniel soon appeared to greet them as well.

"Good to see you, Lucian," Nathaniel said warmly.

Lucian gave a polite nod, and Nathaniel tilted his head to look at the young girl standing next to her brother. "Hey, little girl."

Rina greeted him with a polite bow. "Greetings, Lord Mortem."

"Whoa, that just hurt me," Nathaniel’s face fell in an exaggerated expression of sadness.

"What did I do?" Rina asked, confused.

"What do you call Aaron and Lucian?" he asked. _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}

"Brother?"

"And didn’t you agree to be my sister as well? But now it seems like you’re betraying me. This brother is truly heartbroken."

Rina quickly corrected herself. "Brother Nathaniel."

"That’s more like it." He smiled and patted her head. "Was the journey tiring?"

Rina shook her head. "I slept in my brother’s arms the whole time."

Just then, the others—who had been enjoying their warm soak and wine—emerged, dressed in fresh clothes and looking relaxed.

"Lucian, good to see you here," Arthur greeted, as the others followed behind him.

Rowan, Rafal, and Imbert greeted Lucian in turn.

"Lucian, how fortunate we are to have you visit," Rowan said with a grin. "I’m sure you’re here to meet us—the Ahrens."

Lucian offered a polite bow, deftly dodging Rowan’s question. "Good to see you, second young Lord Ahren."

"Oh, just call me Rowan," Rowan replied casually, then turned his attention to Rina. "Good to see you, young Lady."

"Greetings to everyone," Rina said politely, then asked, "Where is Lady Erin? I’m here to meet her."

"Oh, just you? I thought your brother might also want to offer his greetings to his former master," Rowan remarked, glancing at Lucian. "But you’re a lord now, so I suppose you’ve forgotten that my sister was once your master."

Lucian remained calm, his expression unchanged. "I haven’t forgotten."

Rowan sighed inwardly. ’A blockhead indeed,’ he thought, then addressed Rina. "You can go to that side of the residence. Erin is there."

Rina nodded but Lucian gently held her hand. "Don’t go alone. You might get lost."

Rowan, sensing an opportunity, smirked. "Then, would Lord Rainier like to show his little sister the way? Although that part of the residence is reserved for ladies, no man is permitted to enter unless he has a special connection with the lady."

Lucian sensed the bitterness in Rowan’s words but chose to ignore it. "Let the servant guide you," he said to Rina.

But just then, a beautiful woman, freshened up and dressed in a refined, lady-like manner, emerged from the right side of the residence.
