Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 4623

Aurin glanced at Darryl curiously. "Why are you asking about that, Master?"

Darryl scratched his head rather awkwardly and said the first thing that came to his head. "Oh, nothing. It just came into my head, so I thought I'd ask about it."

Darryl glanced at the sky. "It's getting late, Prince Aurin. You should get some rest. I'll teach you some of my skills tomorrow morning!" Then, Darryl stretched out lazily on the bed and looked like he was about to doze off.

Indeed, Darryl did not plan to rest. He would sneak into Empress Heidi's chambers to find out the deal with the Ancient Ancestor's fairy soul.

That was extremely risky, so it was better to keep it from Aurin for the time being.

Darryl's performance was utterly believable, and Aurin did not suspect a single thing. "Alright, Master. Rest well!"

Then, Aurin walked out of the room.

Darryl heaved a sigh of relief. He began to ponder to himself.

It had just gotten dark; immediately sneaking into the Jade Fairyland would not be a good idea. It would be best to wait a while longer.

So, Darryl lay down and closed his eyes to rest.

A few hours later, Darryl opened his eyes slowly. Since it was dark outside, he did not hesitate to change into dark clothes and slipped out of the room before heading toward Empress Heidi's chambers.

He had been to the Jade Fairyland once or twice and was familiar enough with its surroundings. Thus, he could make his way there without being spotted by any guards.

Oh?

It was not long before he had reached Empress Heidi's chambers. The sight that greeted him made him stop short.

It was late at night. Why was Empress Heidi not resting yet?

The lights in Empress Heidi's chambers were still on, but there was no sound.

Was she not in her room? That would be great; it would be an excellent chance for him to sneak into the room.

Darryl slowed down before ducking into the room swiftly.

Darryl's body jerked as he gasped at the sight that greeted him.

Empress Heidi sat by the window, drinking on her own. The table before her was laden with luxurious dishes, but they appeared untouched.
