Chapter 499 The Young Bride Returns
In Simeria, the entire mountain range of Entes Mountain belonged to the Entes family. Magnificent and
grand structures resembling castles dotted thendscape as far as the eye could see.
Bianca was momentarily stunned.
As someone who loved traveling and had been to many ces, she had never encountered at ce
where the architecture itself could so vividly depict a family’s cultural heritage.
?
Before today, she had only known the Entes family through its history in Simeria, spanning centuries.
But witnessing firsthand, even just their architectural brilliance, left a profound impression.
“Let’s go,” Zane said, pulling her chilly hand as they walked deeper into the premises.
Bianca was silent. Her steps felt unsteady. Were it not for Zane holding her hand, she might
have stumbled.
She had never felt nervous or fearful before. But now, there was an unsettling feeling of being
unable to stand by his side.
Her mind felt nk.
“What are you thinking about?” Zane’s voice, warm yet tinged with a hint of coldness, echoed
in her ears.
Bianca nced at him and replied, “I’m thinking about the Entes family.”
The Entes family? What did they look like now?
From the interactions between Malcolm and Zane over time, it was evident how significant the heirship
to this family was to them.
Even from an outsider’s perspective, one could easily tell how brilliant and grand it would be to be the
Entes family’s head.
“And what do you think?” The man smirked.
“I’ve heard a rumor,” Bianca began.
“Tell me,” he prompted.
“I’ve heard that once the heir of the Entes family is officially recognized, the other potential heirs are
supposed to relocate abroad. Is that true?”
“Yes, it is,” he confirmed.
Bianca was silent.

Previously, she had dismissed such rumors as mere jests. Could family dynamics truly be so stringent?
However, witnessing the grandeur of this family, Bianca began to believe that the rumors held scine
truth.
How did she feel now that it was confirmed?
She couldn’t quite articte it–it was just odd!
From the exterior, one could sense the vastness of the estate. As they walked in, they covered a
considerable distance before reaching the main courtyard.
Most of the Entes family members who should have returned had done so. The journey had been quiet
and solemn until Zane suddenly ushered her through a gilded gate, where the sounds ofughter and
chatter hit them instantly.
Bianca remained silent.
“What’s wrong?” Zane asked as he halted, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
“Are you sure about this?”
She referred to the matter of the gift. Throughout their walk, the ambiance felt very formal. Such
families, in her experience, ced great emphasis on etiquette.

Zane reached out, adjusting a stray strand of hair near her ear. “I said it’s not needed. Don’t worry
about it.”
Alright.”
If Zane said so, she wouldply.
She wasn’t ustomed to the dynamics when it came to greeting the elders of a family and took her
cues from him. At this moment, without even realizing it, Bianca behaved like a young bride in front of
Zane.
The very people she used to disdain seemed to be unfolding right before her eyes in the Entes family
members.
Zane pulled her further inside and said in a deep voice, “Remember, you’re not here to please.
anyone.”
Bianca was stunned, and his words seemed to freeze her momentarily.
She… wasn’t here to please anyone?
When she caught a sidelong nce at Zane, her eyes held a hint of scrutiny. Was his spirited?
The arrival of Zane and Bianca silenced the previously lively atmosphere.
All eyes turned towards them, each gaze feeling ufortably piercing. Then, a woman’s light
laughter broke the silence.
“Oh, look who’s back! The seventh son returns! Have you finally decided to bring your little bride with
you?”
