Chapter 623: Chapter 623 - Yara’s Suspicions



Broken and Aerin found themselves in an entirely new place, realizing they had been transported into a pocket dimension within the Unseen Universe Necklace.

As Aerin surveyed her surroundings, she noticed the sky was shrouded in darkness, with a familiar moon hanging low on one side.

Her eyes drifted across the landscape until they settled on a small lake, its surface shimmering under the soft glow of moonlight. Drawn to the serene scene, she walked to the lake's edge and perched herself on a large rock.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Broken followed her.

"Does this mean I'm the first person to enter this place after you? Doesn't that make me someone special?"

Broken smiled at her words. "Do you really need to ask that, Princess?"

"Oh, clearly you still have a lot to learn about how to make a woman happy, huh?"

"Don't tell me you're not happy with all this," Broken countered with a smirk.

"It just seems you're still as stubborn as ever, the same man I've always known." Broken moved closer and took a seat on a large rock beside her. They sat in comfortable silence for a while, both gazing at the lake's shimmering surface. Aerin had dipped her feet into the water, creating soft ripples that spread outward, reflecting the silvery light of the moon above.

"So, who knows about this expedition you're going on?"

"The king... the two knight grand crosses... and a few servants in the palace."

"Just them?" Broken frowned slightly, giving her a questioning look.

Aerin turned to him, pausing for a moment as if considering her answer. Their eyes met, and she seemed to hesitate before speaking again.

"Yes, just them," she said with a small nod.

"Maybe it's because there are only a few people I truly trust," she admitted softly. "My two knights and a handful of servants. That's it."

"Why didn't you include the king on that list, Aerin?"

Aerin smiled faintly and glanced away.

cleaning supplies.

Her eyes immediately landed on the scene in the room-Broken standing close to a strikingly beautiful woman. Her face flushed red in an instant.

"My Lord... I-I apologize," she stammered. "I thought you'd gone to the capital, so I came to clean the room."

Keeping her gaze firmly on the floor, Yara quickly backed out of the room, her movements flustered and hurried.

"I don't want to be fired... I don't want to be fired..." she muttered anxiously to herself as she scurried away.

Broken stepped out of his study to find Yara standing in the hallway, her head bowed and her hands trembling slightly.

"Yara..." he called softly.

She lifted her face hesitantly, her gaze flickering to Broken before landing on the girl beside him. Aerin stood silently, her hood pulled low to conceal the lower half of her face, leaving only her striking eyes visible.

"She's so beautiful," Yara whispered, but her words escaped before she could stop herself. Startled by her own slip, she quickly looked back at Broken. "My Lord, forgive me..." Broken shook his head lightly. "It's alright. Please, don't worry. But I have a favor to ask. Don't tell anyone about my friend's presence here. I'll be away for a few days. If you need anything, speak to Freya, and make sure to take good care of the house while I'm gone."

"Yes, My Lord..." Yara replied.

Broken turned away, and Aerin silently followed.

Yara remained rooted in place, her eyes fixed on the hallway where the two figures had disappeared. Something about Aerin gnawed at her thoughts, a familiarity she couldn't quite

pinpoint.

"She's so beautiful."

"I feel like I've seen her before, but I can't remember where."

Her gaze lingered on the spot where Aerin had been moments ago.

"She reminded me of Princess Alora," Yara muttered to herself. "But... Her name is Aerin."

"Such a lovely name."
