Chapter 197: Darcy Redwyn

In that countryside area...

Where the sun shines, hot winds swirl, and in the shade, a cool breeze blows.

The girl with the peach hair helped herself up, adjusted her dress, and tidied her scattered hair.

Her beautiful and lovely peach hair. Unfortunately, because she fell, grass and twigs got stuck in it.

Adrian seemed to be embarrassed by the girl’s awkward behavior, as evidenced by his condescending look at her disheveled appearance.

A few seconds later, he jumped off the horse but ignored her, leaving the girl with no choice but to handle it herself.

This included cleaning up the small injuries and scratches she sustained from the fall.

"I’m sorry, my love. I won’t fall again. I promise you!" She saluted.

"I believe you," Adrian said with a gentle smile. Seeing this smile, the girl thought he was happy with her, not annoyed as she had assumed, so she became happier.

However, this series of actions and conversations was undoubtedly perplexing for Raven and Vivian, who were approached, so they were the ones who needed explanations and reasons.

Adrian was happy to tell them what he had to say, but first, he summoned his griffin as his protector, because Raven’s crimson hellhound was just too fierce.

His sisters had tried to kill him before, and he must never let his guard down in front of them.

"My sisters have evolved their beasts to a higher level, so it seems I’m the one who is lagging behind. So it seems I’m the weakest one. Unfortunate..." Adrian said.

"But you might be wondering who this young lady is? Her name is Darcy Redwyn, the eldest daughter of the Redwyn family. Darcy is my fiancée, soon-to-be wife, and also your soon-to-be sister-in-law."

"I brought Darcy to meet you both because she will become your sister-in-law, so I wanted Vivian to know before she dies in today’s Crucible with my mother. Is there anything you want to say to Darcy?"

"When did you get engaged?" Raven asked.

Adrian replied, "Since I got engaged to Darcy a week ago. The Kingsley and Redwyn families are coming together for the future of this city. Vivian, don’t you have anything to say to your sister-in-law? Vivian—?"

Adrian raised an eyebrow because Vivian seemed not to have heard him at all, not even noticing his presence.

At the moment, Vivian was walking to him and Darcy, thus ignoring the standoff between the golden griffin and the crimson hellhound.

"Hey, stay away from my bride!" Adrian shouted, but Vivian brushed his hand away, gently took Darcy’s hand, and gazed into her eyes.

Darcy’s eyes were brown like nuts, full of life and innocence, her face animated and lovely, blooming like a flower, her peach-colored hair like petals of the flower.

Darcy is so cute, she looks like the definition of an engaged bride in the dictionary.

Vivian is 5 feet 11 inches tall, while Darcy is 5 feet. 6.

Darcy is a Greater-grade summoner, which is an excellent talent level sufficient to qualify her for marrying into the ruling family.

However, Darcy is still very young; in fact, she will be entering Montclair Academy next semester.

That is to say, next semester will be her freshman year!

Vivian couldn’t stand by and watch a lovely girl be brainwashed and ruined by Adrian and Roselyn.

"Darcy, listen to me," Vivian said. "You don’t have to rush into marrying Adrian just because he is the city’s heir. You must think for yourself, ensuring that you are not a puppet controlled by others."

Darcy smiled politely, gently holding Vivian’s hand too, and replied, "But I am thinking for myself, Lady Vivian. I am to become the next Duchess, and that is a great privilege and responsibility I wish to fulfill."

Vivian trying to convince Darcy that marrying Adrian is not a good idea, but Darcy refusing.

Vivian couldn’t convince Darcy because it looked like Vivian didn’t want the girl to have a good life. After all, this is just another arranged marriage. Why is she so insistent on telling Darcy to refuse?

Didn’t all the past duchesses, including Vivian’s mother, Penelope, marry in this way?

Vivian realized this, knowing she couldn’t persuade Darcy, and ultimately restrained herself.

Her failure made Adrian laugh, as he could only watch his sister make a pathetic attempt to destroy his own engagement.

"Vivian, when will you ever learn to have a little shame? First of all, you actually challenged my mom to a Crucible, and now you want to change my fiancée’s mind and prevent her from marrying me. Where did you get these ideas? Does Luke ever pass these ideas to you just to mess with me?"

"Enough with the fake smile, Adrian," Raven chimed in, arms folded. "Everyone knows you’re still hurting over Scarlett Trump turning you down. In fact, have you heard the news? Scarlett and Luke are engaged again. I bet your engagement to Darcy Redwyn is just a ploy to salvage political standing."

Darcy covered her mouth with her hand, "Gasp! My love, is it true...?"

Adrian replied with clenched fists, "Darcy, don’t believe everything you hear, especially from these two jezebels.

"I have nothing to say to you, Raven. But rest assured, your torment begins tonight after Vivian’s soul is forced to wander."

WHOOSH!

As soon as he finished speaking, some soft air like a disk on a meadow lifted Adrian two meters high off the ground.

His sisters watched him as he landed on the horse’s back, grabbing the reins.

Meanwhile, Darcy didn’t have flying abilities because she didn’t have a flying beast, so she must manually climb onto the horse’s back.

However, despite the expectation that Adrian would help her mount the horse, things didn’t go such ways. Two minutes passed as Darcy repeatedly climbed on and fell off, finally succeeding on her nth attempt.

On her success, she hugged Adrian tightly, a happy smile on her face.

Adrian dismissed his beast and looked down at his sisters, especially Vivian, whom he had to admit looked as pale as a ghost, as if her death was imminent.

"Hyah!"

Adrian cried to the horse, and it turned around, neighing. He had nothing left to say to his sisters, and he rode down the field without a backward glance.
