Chapter 330 Sibling Blunders
What if Remy wasn’t interested in any of that?
They really should ask Remy about it and respect his decision instead of deciding everything on his behalf.
Suddenly, they heard sounds of raindrops splattering against the ground.
Emma absently touched her stomach and said, “I’m hungry. Let’s have stew tonight.”
Stew?
The others turned to look at her in confusion.
Corvin asked, “Emma, what’s stew?” Emma had never taught them how to make stew.
She didn’t reply. Instead, she pulled him toward the kitchen and said, “I’ll teach you.”
The group dogged her steps out of curiosity, heading to the kitchen as well.
Lucien was just about to cross the threshold to the kitchen when he received a message from the manor’s chief guard.
‘Your Highness, Princess Aria is here. She also has Aurelia’s best doctor with her.‘
“She brought a doctor over? Whatever for?” Lucien asked the chief guard.
The chief guard shook his head slightly. “I’m afraid Princess Aria didn’t divulge a word about her plans. She only informed me to tell you that she wants to meet you privately.”
A furrow appeared between Lucien’s brows. What was she up to this time?
After a brief pause, he eventually said, “I understand.”
He took one last look at the kitchen, where Emma was showing Silas how to prep a stew, before leaving the living room.
Meanwhile, Aria immediately approached Lucien the second she saw him, dragging the doctor along with her.
She craned her neck, scanning their surroundings. Once she was sure they were alone, she quickly urged the doctor forward.

“Hurry up, good doctor. Take a look at my brother!”
“Yes, Princess Aria.”
The doctor wasted no time heeding her orders and reached out to begin his examination.
Alas, Lucien sidestepped him sharply, dodging his touch.
Then, he shot Aria a dark glare. “Why did you bring him here? I’m fine.”
She was being ridiculous.
Sadly, Aria was not about to be deterred. After all, she knew that males had a strange pride when it came to certain… things.
“Lucien, I know you can’t bring yourself to speak of it. Still, you can’t just shove your problems aside because of your silly pride. Trust me. This doctor works for Aurelia, and he’s extremely discreet. He won’t tell a soul about your problems.”
Lucien was initially dismissive of her antics. Nevertheless, he quickly realized that something had gone wrong somewhere.
His glare intensified as he spat, “Explain yourself. Why did you bring him here, and what illness do you think I have?”
It couldn’t be that, could it?
Aria shot Lucien a sympathetic look as her voice dropped to a whisper, “Of course, he’s here to treat your… condition. I asked the doctor about it before we got here, and he’s confident you’ll be cured as long as we treat it now.
“Please don’t let your pride get in the way of your treatment. If this continues, Emma might just grow to resent you.”
After all, no female would desire a mate who couldn’t perform their marital duties.
Did she just… She did, didn’t she?!
It seemed that the ridiculous rumor had reached Aria’s ears as well.
Lucien clenched his jaw so hard that his teeth started aching. Rage threatened to consume him as he growled, “And who told you that I wasn’t capable? Who else has heard of this?
Aria couldn’t help but feel nervous in the face of his obvious ire. She twisted the hem of her dress and mumbled under her breath, “I didn’t mean to, but… Our mother and fathers just

happened to pass by when I sought the doctor out, so…”
So now his mother and all his fathers thought he was impotent?!
Lucien felt his temple throbbing as he desperately tamped down the urge to throttle her.
Aria flinched at his thunderous expression and hastily blurted, “Lucien, I didn’t do it on purpose! They were the ones who’d been sneaking around when I was having a private conversation with the doctor!
“Still, you don’t have to worry. Mom’s already sent out a gag order regarding the matter. No one in our family will dare go against her wishes, so I’m sure hardly anyone is aware of this!”
Lucien scoffed. It wasn’t one of amusement. If anything, it was filled with undeniable rage that nearly drove Aria to tears.
“Lucien, I–I only wanted to help you. I was worried Emma would dislike you because of… that,” she whispered tearily.
