c416: A Promise Kept

Soon, the members of Vivian’s squad, chattering around Shien, left with the answers they received from him, each carrying their own thoughts.

Nadue could sense the mixed feelings of these girls regarding the fact that Shien had truly become the top candidate for the Kingdom’s treasure’s husband.

“I didn’t expect you to be the one who ended up with Princess Lucy.”

Vivian sighed.

“Thinking about it carefully, only you are worthy of being Her Highness’s husband.”

Diere didn’t seem to care much, her tone indifferent.

“Her Highness’s husband…”

Lumia looked at Shien with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

“Sob…”

Melika seemed unwilling, but didn’t dare to speak or ask, her face full of grievance.

Watching the four girls leave, Nadue looked at the awkward Shien and couldn’t help but find it amusing.

“As expected, Heroes are always popular with women.”

This was also a common trait of all Heroes, or perhaps, the nature of heroes.

But then, Nadue realized that the girls around Shien weren’t just the members of Vivian’s squad.

Not long after, Shien encountered two more acquaintances in the mansion.

“Back from confirming? The royal family didn’t make a mistake, right?”

Leisha teased Shien as soon as she saw him.

“Congratulations.”

Unlike Leisha, Lasha, as if she had already received accurate information through her own channels, congratulated Shien with an impassive face.

Facing these two, Shien was annoyed.

And Nadue was surprised once again, staring intently at Leisha and Lasha before finally sighing.

“Even they are here?”

Nadue didn’t know how to describe her feelings at this moment.

Nadue naturally knew Leisha and Lasha.

After all, the item that had been hidden in the royal palace of the Kingdom of Mitra was also very important to the Divine Race.

If the Divine Race and the Demon Race hadn’t already privately agreed not to interfere in this matter, Leisha’s crime of stealing that item would have been enough for the Three Goddesses to personally capture her. ŗαƝoꞖΕṠ

“Really…”

Nadue could only suppress her complex emotions and carefully observe the interaction between Shien and the demon master-servant pair.

Calling it an interaction, it was actually just Shien and Leisha bickering, while Lasha watched silently from the side.

After a while, Shien and Leisha finished their bickering and parted ways. Shien continued into the mansion, while Leisha seemed to be heading to the bath.

Nadue hesitated for a moment, then decided to continue following Shien.

Although she was also curious about the demon master-servant pair, in the end, the sense of familiarity emanating from Shien drew her in.

It was this decision that made Nadue finally witness the existence that made her expression change drastically.

This happened when Shien returned to his room.

“Bang!”

The moment Shien entered the room, a small figure pounced into his arms, startling him.

After that, Shien finally saw the small figure clearly, breathed a sigh of relief, and embraced her.

Nadue also saw the figure clearly.

“Lilith…!?”

It was naturally Lilith who had pounced into Shien’s arms.

Seeing Lilith, Nadue subconsciously became wary.

Even though many years had passed, Nadue still remembered that it was this little goddess who had turned the earth into hell, spreading evil aura across the world, creating countless evil beings, driving countless lives to madness, and even sinking continents.

Nadue and the others had gone to great lengths to seal this goddess.

Therefore, upon suddenly seeing Lilith, Nadue couldn’t help but become wary.

But the next moment, Nadue saw Lilith’s lively amethyst eyes staring intently at Shien, filled with emotions and a light she hadn’t seen before.

“Right, Anima mentioned that Lilith has returned and even entrusted her [True Mark] to this Hero.”

Nadue felt both relieved and surprised.

She had never seen such a docile Lilith before, and she didn’t expect Lilith to be so dependent on Shien, much to her surprise.

Of course, if Lilith’s presence surprised, alerted, and astonished Nadue, then the last person to appear was the dangerous existence that made Nadue tense up.

“You’re back?”
