Die, princess, the devil is mine!

Among the group of beautiful girls surrounding Lynn, most of them were still quite reserved, only getting a little closer to talk to him.

But one of the stunningly beautiful girls with dragon horns on her head was clinging tightly to Lynn's arm, looking very clingy.

Catherine watched from a distance, feeling a little embarrassed to go over. But when she thought of the children waiting for their father to come home, and how they were all hungry, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to go over.

She was somewhat of a familiar face in the Empire of Light, after all, she was the niece of the Holy Emperor Akre and her mother's surname was Windsor.

Seeing her walk with a cold face toward Lord Lynn, who was surrounded by admirers, the guests along the way consciously made way for her.

I heard that Catherine was one of the first beauties Lord Lynn took in, so she's considered a senior woman. Now, the women surrounding Lord Lynn are the ones the seven great empires rushed to give to him, so they should be considered juniors. If Catherine sees her man being entangled with some wild woman who isn't even married yet, she might cause some trouble.

Lynn was surrounded and felt even more pressured than if he were surrounded by a ten million demon army. The main reason was that he was not familiar with these beautiful princesses except for Claire.

In particular, there was a clingy little vixen among them. Despite being only 17.99 years old, she was incredibly bold. As soon as they met, she clung to him without hesitation, even more enthusiastic than Natasha.

It's just that the other princesses were all quite polite and not so enthusiastic and unrestrained, otherwise Lynn felt she might have been entangled to death here, let alone go to the battlefield...

"Lynn, why did you take so long? The children are waiting for you."

Catherine had already prepared herself emotionally as she walked, so as soon as she approached the crowd, she spoke softly and tried her best to put on a warm smile.

In front of so many outsiders, she had to maintain the dignity of Lynn as the head of the family, and she couldn't show any jealousy in front of her sisters, because she really wasn't jealous of anything.

"I want to go too, but when Eve heard that Claire was going, she insisted on going too. I'm torn."

Just as Lynn was surrounded by a group of friendly forces, Catherine arrived in time, and Lynn was almost moved to tears.

As soon as she saw Catherine approaching, the dragon-horned beauty hugged her even tighter. Although she didn't say anything, her meaning was clear: either don't go, or take me with you.

"Eve? The most beautiful little dragon girl on the Divine Blessed Continent, right?"

Upon hearing this, Catherine glanced sideways at the beautiful girl with dragon horns who was clinging to Lynn's arm. She saw that the girl indeed had delicate eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding an indescribable charm.

If it weren't for her less-than-perfect figure, which somewhat belies her stunning beauty, she could probably even try to touch the legendary Elf Queen.

No wonder Lynn looked embarrassed when she held his arm. With her small frame, she couldn't make Lynn's arm sink into anything soft, so naturally, she didn't make him show any other expression.

"Hello, Sister Catherine! I am Eve, and I am also Brother Lynn's future wife. It's a pleasure to meet you. Please, please take care of me!"

The little dragon-horned beauty was very polite. Although she was several hundred years old, she still obediently called Catherine "sister." This made Catherine take a second look at her. After all, most dragons are arrogant and rude, always thinking about the glory of their ancient overlords. Except for those who are respectful to Saint Emperor level experts, they usually don't think much of the human race that took away their overlord status.

Moreover, Eve is the direct granddaughter of the current Dragon Emperor, possessing the purest royal bloodline. Logically, she should be even more arrogant than ordinary dragons.

“Our family has specially arranged a private dinner because we don’t like crowds and just want to get together as a family. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for Eve to attend our family dinner.”

Although Eve introduced herself as Lynn's future wife, she and the princesses of the other six countries were, in reality, just bargaining chips and gifts used by the seven empires to lure Lynn into making a move. In fact, there was no marriage agreement at all, so how could they be considered family?

"But, but, Eve finally found Brother Lynn and doesn't want to let him go..."

Hearing Catherine, Lynn's legitimate wife, say this, little Eve seemed a bit unsure of herself. She knew that the term "future wife" was somewhat far-fetched, but unlike her other princess sisters, she was sincere.

Ever since learning about Lord Lynn's deeds and confirming through the memory stone given to her by her grandfather that he was the older brother who saved her back then, Eve has been looking forward to meeting her older brother Lynn as soon as possible and is eager to become his little wife.

Although they only spent three short days together, those three days were truly joyful. Compared to the silly dragon, Lynn was so much more interesting; she hadn't been so happy in hundreds of years.

If it weren't for some inexplicable reason that her memories of her older brother Lynn were sealed away, she probably would have already been making a fuss about searching for him all over the continent.

But now things are all right. She has found her older brother, and relying on her grandfather's favoritism, she forcibly snatched the spot for the beautiful dragon that was supposed to be given to her older brother, Lynn. Things are finally going to get better!

However, Lynn's family has many wives, so it doesn't seem easy for him to fit in. This is evident from the fact that Catherine doesn't acknowledge her as part of the family.

"How about next time? I didn't prepare that much food today. I'll treat you to a meal another time when I have more time?"

Lynn turned her head to look at Eve, whose big eyes were blinking and who seemed a little aggrieved. She recalled the first time she met Eve, when the little dragon looked so adorable. Her heart stirred.

They had only met once before, and although they had spent three days together, the cute little dragon back then and the cute girl now were too different. He found it difficult to reconcile the two, even though they were originally the same dragon.

So Lynn can't accept her as family so quickly, but it won't take long either. Just look at her cuteness and adorable personality, and you might want to keep her as a pet after a few more glances.

"Um, okay..."

Eve hesitated for a while, holding Lynn, before finally giving up on being arrogant because of her cuteness.

Before Sister Catherine arrived, Brother Lynn had already said something similar, but she couldn't bear to let it go. Now that her brother's legitimate wife had come knocking, if she continued to be stubborn, she might become disliked.

As for why Claire, who was also one of the "gift wives," was qualified to attend Lynn's family dinner, she wouldn't even ask such a stupid question.

After Eve bumped into Catherine, the real wife, and retreated, Lynn was able to get away.

Because the other five princesses hadn't bothered Lynn at all, and even now they didn't say a word, just stood quietly watching from the side.

They were all very clear about their identities and positions, and they had all received higher education. Before leaving the country, they had been repeatedly instructed by the late emperors, so naturally they would not do anything impolite or that might displease Lynn.

Competing for Lynn's affections with his other women is a major taboo, and apart from the clingy Eve, no one dares to do so. Of course, if someone is lucky enough to be chosen by Lynn and he decides to favor her, then that's a different story.

"Then we'll take our leave now, ladies. There will be plenty of opportunities to meet again later. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll have a long-lasting connection. Let's not go now, and talk about other things after we've wiped out the demons."

Taking advantage of Eve's reluctant release of him, Lynn stepped forward, took Catherine's hand in one hand and Claire's hand in the other, and then turned around to say goodbye to the five princesses and little Eve.

Even now, he still hasn't remembered the names of the five princesses. Although they introduced themselves to him as soon as they arrived, he didn't bother to remember the names that weren't important to him.

However, once he returns from the God-protected Continent, he will get to know the princesses again. As I said before, it would be a pity to give them to someone else.

……

……

Soon after, Catherine successfully brought Lynn and Claire back, and Lynn's family was finally reunited.

However, Claire, as the newest member of the family, was rather reserved.

She desperately wanted to be ignored by Lynn like the other princesses, but Lynn had already set his sights on her, and her family's Xue'er was a master of matchmaking. How could she escape? Of course, she didn't even want to escape.

"Gujiguji~"

Claire was brought over, so naturally, Xue'er wasn't left behind. It wasn't originally qualified to attend that banquet and could only play on the mountain by itself, but since it was now Lynn's family banquet, it was qualified to attend, so it was summoned over by Claire.

Unfortunately, Guji and Xiaohua had fallen asleep due to their travel fatigue, leaving it with no animals to play with. It could only enjoy its delicious dried fish alone.

However, Xue'er was still very happy because her silly master had finally been taken into the family by Lord Lin En. With this recognition, her status as a royal consort should be secure, and it was worth all the hard work it had done to help her.

"Don't be so stiff. You really need to learn this from Siflin. If it were her, she would have already become friends with everyone by now."

Catherine had initially thought of herself as an outsider in this large family, but seeing Claire's stiff demeanor and reluctance to speak after she sat down, she suddenly felt that she, the outsider, was more like Lynn's wife than Claire, the newcomer.

“But I’m not Siflin. I’m not as lively as her, and I can’t learn this.”

Claire was serious, but she was still polite. When Catherine spoke to her, she naturally responded properly.

However, although she and Siflin both have the surname Windsor, they are not close relatives within three generations, so they have nothing in common.

She knew, of course, that it was inappropriate to sit there as stiff as a block of ice, but that was just her personality; she wasn't as cheerful and outgoing as Siflin.

"It's not that I have to force myself to integrate into everyone as soon as possible. After all, once we become family, we'll have a very long time to get along. Even if we feel like strangers now, will we still feel like two separate families a few years, ten years, or a hundred years from now?"

As Lynn spoke, he picked up a glass of fruit wine and handed it to Claire. Seeing this, the others also raised their drinks or wine glasses, sincerely expressing their welcome to Claire.

She is a righteous judge who punishes evil and promotes good. Although she seems cold, no one can dislike her.

Little Yuri and Little Yuna held their orange juice high, secretly exchanged a glance, and both saw affirmation in each other's eyes.

Claire's mother is also human. She gives birth quickly, and the babies are quite big, so she can raise them.

Children's minds change so quickly. We need to work hard on Catherine's mother; she's not easy to win over. But we can try to make a breakthrough with Claire's mother.

Claire wasn't very familiar with the two little ones, and couldn't possibly guess their little scheme. Otherwise, she might have taken the wine glass, drunk it, and run away to avoid being forced to have a baby right after giving them the engagement ring.

"I will try my best to get along well with everyone. Um... I am not very talkative and not very good at talking, but I have a good temper and character and will not make anyone unhappy."

Claire took the fruit wine Lynn handed her, raised it to toast everyone, and then drank it all in one gulp.

After doing all that, she returned to her stiff demeanor, her face still expressionless, but she did seem to have lost some of that aloofness.

She should already be trying to be "friendly," but it just needs to be a gradual process. After being cold and aloof for nearly thirty years, how can she suddenly become warm and outgoing?

"Hehe, welcome to the Lin family, Sister Claire. With your help, raising children will be much easier."

While Shia was away, Vivian took great care of the children, even though they were both grown up and well-behaved.

Now the situation is different. With Shia and Sylvie pregnant, and their large family, there will be countless newborns to raise in the future. Having another sister means more help, which is certainly a great thing.

"Raising children..."

Claire looked to her left and right when she heard this. She didn't know how Lynn had arranged it, but he just happened to put the two little ones on either side of her seat.

Their names are... Yuri and Yuna, right? But the two little ones look so alike, so who is Yuri and who is Yuna?
Claire couldn't even tell which of the two children was who, and for a moment she didn't know how to help Vivian raise the children.

Ugh, this is so troublesome. I might as well just have my own child in the future. I'll be able to recognize my own child, right?
Claire's thoughts had barely drifted off when she was quickly jolted back to reality by her own ideas. When had she become so shameless? She dared to talk about having children so casually...

Is there something wrong with the atmosphere in Lynn's family?

Claire felt a little like scratching her head...
