Chapter 694: I’m Your Bride
Violet’s current appearance would never lead anyone to think that she had emerged from an ancient realm. At first glance, she appeared to be a fashionable young girl. However, Lachlan knew that this girl was definitely not simple. Despite Violet hiding her aura and strength, Lachlan found it increasingly difficult to read her.
Given Lachlan’s current strength, not being able to gauge someone’s depth indicated how dangerous the other person could be. After reaching the later stages of Golden Core and comprehending the rudimentary laws, even those at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul weren’t immune to his insight.
This meant that the girl who had entered the restaurant was at least at the later stages of Nascent Soul, if not higher. Alternatively, she could be proficient in other supernatural abilities to conceal her aura. In either case, Lachlan remained extremely vigilant.
Meanwhile, as Lachlan pondered in his mind, Violet glanced at him and couldn’t help but complain inwardly. “This is the inheritor?” she thought. “Annoying! I’ve been running back and forth because of him!”
Previously, she had tracked Lachlan’s aura and left Slocmore to head towards Kreanford. However, she had noticed his aura approaching Slocmore while she was on her way. This irritated Violet and fostered some resentment towards Lachlan.
Her strongest source of resentment, though, was due to a conversation she had with her grandfather Hayden before leaving the Ancient Willis family. Hayden had told her, “Violet, when you find the inheritor, you must bring him back. He will not only be the head of the Ancient Willis family but also your husband in the future.”
Considering Hayden was a formidable member of the Ancient Willis family and from the same lineage as Lachlan, it seemed like they were meant to be. For the Ancient Willis family, close relatives marrying each other was not a concern. As long as they weren’t directly related, it was even encouraged, as it would slow down the dilution of Dudrar Dragon’s bloodline.
Hayden had hoped that she would marry the inheritor. However, Violet felt conflicted about this. Despite not wanting to defy her grandfather’s wishes, she didn’t plan to marry the inheritor. Nevertheless, after confirming Lachlan as the inheritor, Violet had started considering him as her future husband.
With these thoughts in mind, Violet walked over to Lachlan as soon as she entered the restaurant. Lachlan raised an eyebrow as he tried to hide his caution and politeness when he inquired, “Beautiful lady, what can I do for you?”
“Um, come with me,” Violet nodded and blurted out as soon as she sat down. “What? Come with you? Who are you?” Lachlan responded with a puzzled expression. He had become more wary within himself, ready for anything.
“I? Let me introduce myself. I’m Violet, your future… wife.” After hesitating, Violet blushed slightly when she said the last word.
Lachlan’s eyes widened in shock at her statement, and had Violet not seemed inscrutable, he would have assumed she was a beautiful lunatic. “What? Are you kidding me? I already have a wife; how could you possibly be my wife?”
“You have a wife?” Violet frowned slightly upon hearing this but continued, “In the mundane world, right? It’s okay; you can bring her with you. We can make it three of us. I’ll be the main wife, and she can be the side one.”
Having grown up in the ancient realm, Violet’s perspective was radically different from modern people’s, and she found the concept of men having multiple wives completely normal. She knew her father had many wives, and her grandfather had multiple concubines, too.
She wasn’t happy when Lachlan told her about his wife but remained determined. “Stop joking,” Lachlan protested. “Lady, who are you? Why do you want me to go with you?”
Completely straightforward, Violet explained, “I’m from the Ancient Willis family. My grandfather is the head, and you’ve accepted the legacy of the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant, right? So, I want to take you back to our clan. Do you understand?”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
As she finished speaking, Lachlan’s pupils shrank, and his entire being tensed up. The Ancient Willis family! It was them again! But this time, they had used a different approach. Had they sent a young woman to make it clear that they wanted to take him back? Did she even refer to herself as his wife? They had failed twice; were they changing tactics now? Were they using seduction?
As he discreetly took out the life-saving treasure given to him by Sullivan from his storage bag to prepare for any possible danger, a sudden mocking and somewhat scornful voice echoed in the room. “Lachlan? I never expected to meet you in Slocmore, you despicable man!”
This voice was both familiar and repugnant to Lachlan. As he looked toward the source, he saw a graceful woman entering the restaurant. Claudia?
