Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lotti imagined Lei Yuan talking to her in a gentle voice, saying touching words of love… Especially the words “accompany you” just now, it pierced her heart.

Thus, Lotti was very obedient this time. She bade farewell to Lei Yuan and returned to her room.

Lei Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. This was great! He could finally relax for a while.

Lei Yuan also planned to return to his room to have a lie-down for a while. After all that had happened, he had not even touched a chair.

However, before he could return to his room, he was stopped by a soldier.

“Radiant Knight, please follow me. Her Majesty the Queen has arranged a mission for you.”

‘So fast? I was just given a position today, and I already have a mission?’ Lei Yuan muttered in his heart. ‘Ofia isn’t even giving me a holiday?’

Seeing that he did not answer, the soldier seemed to understand what he was thinking and explained simply, “It’s really important. Her Majesty will only be at ease if you were entrusted with it. Please follow me.”

Looking at the soldier’s serious face, it seemed like it was indeed an important matter. Thus, Lei Yuan followed him to the military camp.

…

However, what Lei Yuan did not expect was for Ofia would simply dump the task of interrogating the prisoners to him. He did not want to do such a thankless job!

Lei Yuan wondered if he could hand this job over to someone else, but the soldier said, “Her Majesty only trusts you in this matter, so please do not refuse.”

She was simply forcing him to take over.

At this moment, the system suddenly said, “Host, just accept this job. It can increase your prestige and help your cultivation. It won’t be a waste of time.”

Hearing this, Lei Yuan became excited. Since it was helpful for his cultivation, it was not impossible to accept this mission.

“But I don’t really know how to interrogate, and my temper isn’t very good. What if I accidentally kill the person?” Lei Yuan seemed to be worried, but he was actually weighing his options.

The soldier was ready with his response, “Her Majesty said that the life and death of those people is up to the Radiant Knight to decide.”

Ofia had given him such great power! With this power in his hands, Lei Yuan felt that it was a bit of a hot potato. After all, with great power came great responsibility.

“It’s alright, host. Since she gave you this power, you should accept it,” the system said calmly. “Don’t reject power that’s given to you for free. If the Queen gave you authority over human life, what’s the harm in killing them? It’s within your power.”

‘Easier said than done.’

Lei Yuan clenched his fists tightly. After a series of internal struggles, he finally accepted it. “Since Her Majesty has given me such an important task, I will complete it well.”

After the soldier left, Lei Yuan came to stand before the traitors. These people had already been severely tortured and looked very weak. When the traitors saw that Lei Yuan was going to interrogate them, they immediately became alert and afraid.

They were both afraid and hateful toward him.

“You… It’s all because of you… We wouldn’t have ended up like this if not for you!”

“You’re not citizen of this country. Why did you have to meddle in our affairs?!” another said.

They cursed and swore at him. Lei Yuan’s expression was very calm, as if he was completely unaffected.

After they were done speaking, the calm look never left Lei Yuan’s face as he said, “Now that you’re done with your cursing, save some energy for your confessions.”

“What are you talking about? I don’t know anything,” one of them sneered. “We were just following orders; we don’t know the specific plans.”

“Don’t kid yourselves,” Lei Yuan ordered. “Be careful when you interrogate them. We can’t actually kill them, but we can certainly make them wish they were dead.”

Only with this could these people be truly afraid of him.

As they saw the jailer approaching, fear gradually appeared in the eyes of the treacherous officials. Lei Yuan did not realize that his Prestige was rising during this process.

…

On the other side, Lotti did not rest for long before she returned to the hall to meet Ofia.

This time, they did not discuss Lei Yuan, but it was more about friendly exchanges between the two countries.

When she arrived, Ofia was dealing with the treacherous officials and foreign ministers.

It was at this moment that Lotti learned that the traitors were already handed over to Lei Yuan for interrogation.

As for her country’s ministers… Lotti’s expression suddenly turned cold.

“You came at the right time. I still don’t know how to deal with your countrymen.”

Ofia, who was sitting in the palace, did not look anything like a little girl. She was efficient and decisive.

“In theory, they should be brought back to your country to be dealt with. However, since the problem arose in my country, I think we should discuss it here.”

Lotti had no intention of speaking up for these traitorous snakes.

“Just deal with them according to your country’s laws,” she said coolly. “There’s no need to ask me.”

Lotti still had a lot of influence in their country. She had to power to decide how her accompanying ministers were dealt with, even outside of their country. When they heard her words, those ministers panicked, as they did not expect Lotti to not intercede on their behalf.

“Ambassador Lotti, please save us! We’ll do our best to stay in our place and never be involved in anything like this again!” one minister begged.

It was too late for them to beg for mercy. Lotti sneered and said as much, “It’s too late now. You should have thought about this day when you colluded with those people.”

Lotti did not say more. Ofia understood what she meant and asked the guards to take the ministers away.

When it came to Lei Yuan, Ofia and Lotti were clearly rivals. But in state affairs, they communicated well with each other.

“Now, I won’t say anything about marriage. It’s better not to involve love in the affairs of the country.” Lotti took the lead and said, “So, I hope you don’t withdraw your protection of my country because of the issue with Lei Yuan. Can you do that?”

“That’s exactly what I was thinking,” Ofia agreed. “The cooperation between our two countries should not be hindered by our rivalry.”

With that, they had made peace with each other in public, and the two countries had reached an agreement.

…

That night, when the enemy general woke up in the barracks and saw that his surroundings were empty, he knew that Lei Yuan must have been here.

What method did he use to take all his subordinates away?! Charm? Absurd!

The general stood up and his body swayed a few times. He gritted his teeth and said, “Lei Yuan, there is no reconciliation between you and me! I will definitely kill you!”

Unfortunately, the current general did not have the ability to contend with Lei Yuan and the others. As a last resort, he thought of a solution: to ask the Demon King for support.

The other party was the Demon King. Unless there was no other way, the general really did not want to do it. But was there any other option?

The general clenched his fists. As long as he could make Lei Yuan pay the price, he was willing to do anything.

…

The next day, according to the agreement, Lei Yuan was to accompany Lotti.

Lotti had already planned it out. Today, they would go shopping. She had been in this country for quite a while, but had yet to have a good look at the local sights.

The two of them walked side by side on the street, and they compatible.

“Lei Yuan, come over and take a look.” Lotti pulled him to a stall and picked up a small trinket that looked quite exquisite.
