“Your Majesty, the search yielded no results,” a soldier nervously reported to Ofia.
He had led a search party for a while, but they could not find Lei Yuan. Ofia seemed to have already foreseen this outcome. The entire city was too big, finding a single person was like finding a needle in a haystack.
If they had been simply separated, it would have been fine. Lei Yuan could return to the palace on his own. However, there was still no news from Lei Yuan after so long, and neither did he return to the palace. They knew then that he was definitely in trouble.
Should she continue the search? Ofia moved her lips but did not give the order. “I understand. You may leave.”
Seeing that she had essentially told the soldiers to stop searching, Lotti felt shocked. She subconsciously said with a hint of accusation, “How can you stop looking? Lei Yuan not returning is enough to show that he’s in danger! We should send more troops to search for him, not stop them!”
Ofia was already very frustrated at this point, and when she heard Lotti’s words, it was as if a fuse had been lit, and she immediately exploded in anger.
“How dare you say that after what you did?! If you hadn’t swayed Lei Yuan into going out and fooling around with you, how would such a thing even happen in the first place? And after all that, you still blame me for not sending people to look for him. Do you think that the soldiers in the palace have nothing better to do?”
Lotti, who was also angry, could not control herself. “As a queen, do you only have so few soldiers that you can mobilize? Didn’t you want to steal Lei Yuan away from me? Now that he needs help, you can’t even be bothered to do your best to find him. Are you even worthy of competing over him against me?”
“What do you know?!” the Queen shouted, her voice stern. The difference in aura between the Queen and her subjects became apparent at that moment.
“Do you think that, as the Queen, I can mobilize the soldiers in the palace at will? Since you like him so much, why aren’t you looking for him yourself? What did you do when you were looking for Lei Yuan?”
Lei Yuan was shocked to hear such a question the moment he returned to the main hall.
‘What’s going on?’
“I…” Lotti lost her confidence. She tried moving her lips but did not continue.
The Queen, who was in an obvious fit of rage, did not notice Lei Yuan return.
“Instead of solely relying on me, why don’t you go and find him yourself! I’m also looking for him, but it’s not for your sake!”
She still needed Lei Yuan to remove the curse, and she would never give him up to anyone!
The soldier at the side desperately tried to stop the fight, and when he saw Lei Yuan enter the palace, he hurriedly shouted, “Your Majesty! The Radiant Knight is back!”
If these two people continued to quarrel, the whole palace would turn upside down.
The soldier could not help but think that Lei Yuan was a troublemaker, but quickly dismissed the thought.The Radiant Knight had saved their country. How could he think that way?
The two women turned their heads at the same time. The moment they saw Lei Yuan, they immediately pounced on him.
“Lei Yuan, how are you feeling now? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” Lotti rushed over first, grabbed Lei Yuan’s hand, and began to check for injuries.
Ofia was not far behind Lotti, and she did not even care about her dignity as the Queen. She simply pulled Lei Yuan’s face toward her and examined it closely.
“I’m fine. There’s no need for all this.”
Lei Yuan was a little overwhelmed by their attention. He made an attempt at struggling, but the two women did not take it seriously at all and continued what they were doing. The dragon lady who had returned with Lei Yuan was ignored.
Lei Yuan felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward. He wanted to find an opportunity to introduce the dragon lady to them. Otherwise, the three women would easily start fighting. But he had no chance to say anything at all!
He stole a glance at the dragon lady and realized that her gaze was not on him at all. Instead, she was looking at her surroundings with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Before Lei Yuan could figure out what she wanted to do, the Ofia and Lotti pulled him and started to take off his clothes.
“What are you two doing?!” he asked hurriedly.
Even if they had feelings for him, they would not do this in public, right? Were all the women in this world so open-minded?
Lotti beat him to it and said, “Of course, I’m going to do a checkup on you. External injuries are easy to see, but internal injuries are different. I don’t know what you’ve been through, either. So, just to be safe, I’ll have to do a comprehensive checkup on you to have peace of mind!”
“That’s right.” On this point, Ofia agreed with Lotti. “I have to check you myself before I can rest assured. I know you. Even if you get injured, you’ll stay quiet about it.”
Lei Yuan was speechless.
‘Aren’t you two overthinking? Do you both think that I’m so weak?’
However, it was true that he was at least weaker than the dragon lady.
“I really am fine. Look at me, I’m still alive and kicking. Isn’t that enough to reassure you?” Lei Yuan thought that he had to quickly make these two give up on giving him a checkup. Otherwise, he would really be stripped all the way down to his bare skin in public.
Lotti looked at him carefully again and confirmed that he did not seem injured at all, but as a mage, she could feel the fluctuation of his magic power, although it was not much.
“I won’t be at ease until I confirm your safety with my own eyes.” Sensing his complete resistance, Ofia took a few steps back and stopped forcing him. “But since you insist that you’re fine, I’ll believe you just this once. If I find out that you’re secretly treating your wounds yourself, you’ll lose my trust.”
Lei Yuan was stupefied. That was really troublesome.
Hearing this, Lotti also compromised for the moment. “In that case, I’ll believe you just this once, too.”
Bang!
Suddenly, there was the sound of something heavy falling on the ground not far away.
Ofia thought that someone had invaded the palace and reflexively put her guard up. She ordered the soldiers to be on guard as well. However, the soldiers were looking in a single direction.
Immediately after that, there was another bang!
This time, everyone’s gazes honed in on the source of the noise. The sound was actually from the dragon lady with long dragon horns. She was fiddling with the tables and chairs.
However, what shocked everyone was not only her appearance, but also her actions.
The woman did not seem to know what the function of the tables and chairs were. She turned them around and fiddled with them. In the end, when she could not figure out their purpose, she slammed them down heavily. The tables and chairs were made from strong and sturdy material. It was not surprising that they would make a loud noise.
“Who are you?” Ofia spoke first. With the sudden appearance of such a person in the palace, she had no choice but to be wary.
Lei Yuan wanted to explain, but the dragon lady went to a swing and looked at its wooden board unceasingly. It was obvious that she did not know what it was.
“…Was she living under a rock?” Lei Yuan guessed.
However, the commotion she made was too big for Ofia to overlook. The Queen lost her patience and shouted, “You! Who are you? Why have you come to my palace?”
If he did not explain her presence, something huge was bound to happen. A conflict among these three women was no small matter.
“Your Majesty, she is—” Lei Yuan hurriedly tried to explain.
“I am his woman.” The woman pointed at Lei Yuan and spoke first. He was so shocked that he forgot what he was about to say.
Everyone, especially Lotti, was stunned into silence for a moment.
‘What was this?’ Lotti thought. It had only been a short while since they last met, and she already had a rival in love!
