Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 4627

It was late into the night when Darryl returned, tired and irritable. He collapsed onto his bed upon entering the room, falling asleep instantly.

Of course, Darryl had not forgotten to turn back into his Barely Immortal form.

Then, a few hours passed.

Creak!

As dawn was just beginning to crack, Darryl was still fast asleep. Then, he heard the door push open softly. It was followed by the appearance of a charming figure sneaking into the room.

F*ck!

Had his antics pretending to be Master Magaera been exposed? Had Empress Heidi sent someone to get him?

At the noise, Darryl awoke instantly. However, he did not stir at once and instead squinted to peer at who had snuck into his room.

Oh?

Darryl stopped short when he saw the scene. It was a 16 or 17 years old girl, clad in a bright yellow dress with exquisite features, and she radiated an air of youthfulness without losing any class.

'Who's that? And what's she doing in my room at this hour?'

Amidst his shock, Darryl could not help but begin mumbling to himself. The curious sight and circumstances she had appeared in did not seem like Empress Heidi had sent her there.

Did Prince Aurin send a servant to spy on him? From the looks of her appearance, it did not seem like it.

Darryl did not want to act rashly before he could confirm her identity. So he lay there and pretended to be asleep.

He did not know that the girl was the late Nine Heaven Emperor's daughter, Princess Sheila. She had been the late Emperor's favorite child, along with Princess Dorothy.

She was fairly young, so Princess Sheila had spent most of her time staying in the palace. That was why Darryl had never seen her.

Sheila was the Nine Heaven Emperor and Empress Heidi's child. That meant she had the same parents as Prince Auten, and they should be reasonably close. However, they were merely civil at best, and Sheila was closer to Aurin.
