Capítulo 1023: Chapter 902: What Are You Doing?
Before entering the Royal Palace, Shane glanced at the side of the palace.
There, together with the Royal Palace, the Temple that was once one of only two buildings on Lake Heart Island had turned into ruins, its splendor gone.
Many Divine Practitioners were circulating around the Temple ruins, discussing, seemingly planning how to rebuild the Temple.
Next to the Temple ruins, there was a temporary residence.
That was not a place where the Divine Practitioners lived.
The Divine Practitioners and the Goddesses who were forced to stay in the Human Realm now resided in the Royal Palace, including Lidas and Anima when they were not out.
The use of that residence was similar to a clinic, specifically providing healing and recovery services.
This was originally one of the Temple’s duties, and in these tis of war, this duty was far more important than usual.
Because only Divine Practitioners could learn Holy Series and Recovery Series Magic, their presence was much sought after by countless wounded individuals.
Just like now, many injured people were being moved and accompanied by knights, entering the treatnt facility one by one, seeking Divine Practitioners who could use Recovery Magic for healing.
It’s worth ntioning that Liya, the Kingdom’s First Princess, often went there to help.
The descendant of Hero Mithra, in the eyes of the world, her reputation seed not as prominent as Luoqi’s, nor was she as outstanding as Luoqi, leading Shane to believe she wasn’t very talented until recently, Shane learned that the Princess had been training in the Temple since childhood, studying Recovery Magic, and is a healer who mastered upper-level Recovery Magic.
According to Luoqi, the reason for this seed to be due to Liya’s own choice.
“Sister Liya has always believed that no matter how hard she tries in combat, she won’t be able to surpass . Additionally, our mother’s health has always been poor, requiring Temple’s Recovery Magic for nurturing and healing; influenced by this, Sister Liya expressed the desire to enter the Temple to learn Recovery Magic.”
This was Luoqi’s original words.
In light of this, Liya is an extrely skilled Healing Mage, normally low-key, but during these crucial tis, she had to step forward, using her upper-level Recovery Magic, healing countless wounded.
Because of this, Liya’s fa has been growing recently, coupled with Anxi wanting to groom her for a higher position, continually boosting her status; invisibly, Liya’s reputation is almost comparable to Luoqi’s, even rivaling Shane’s fa as the Hero.
This is perhaps the only piece of good news during these tis?
“I just wonder, when she becos Queen, will the war be over?”
With this thought, Shane stopped observing the Temple and, with Instant Movent, entered the Royal Palace.
…
Royal Palace, Luoqi’s Sleeping Quarters.
After arriving at the Royal Palace, Shane coming directly here was already a matter of course.
And without Luoqi backstabbing, Shane’s Instant Movent naturally went smoothly without any issues, entering here effortlessly.
However, unlike in the past, the female knights of the Holy Sword Knights guarding here were much fewer.
During the Royal Capital battle, the invading army of the Primordial Demon was blocked by those led by the female knights of the Holy Sword Knights.
After the Royal Capital battle, because of personnel shortage, private knight groups from various noble families, under the Kingdom’s orders, together with the Kingdom Knights, have been tasked with guarding the Royal Capital, setting up multiple defense lines outside the Royal Capital.
The Beizut Family also received orders, allowing Tielle to lead the knight order out every day to eliminate Refined Demons outside the city.
The Holy Sword Knights were also dispatched by Luoqi, with only a few retained for her protection, the majority were sent out to form one of many defense lines.
That particular defense line was right next to Beizut Family’s knight order defense line, allowing mutual support.
Presumably, Luoqi also considered that the two families will rge in the future, and the Holy Sword Knights would eventually marry into the Beizut Family with her, so she deliberately arranged it this way, allowing the knight orders to blend first?
The female knights of the Holy Sword Knights seed aware of this and therefore accepted Tielle’s arrangents in battle.
In other words, Tielle outside is not only the leader of Beizut Knight Order but also the Commander of the Holy Sword Knights.
For this, Luoqi seed quite pleased, whether it’s satisfied with the knight orders blending so well or happy that her long-cared-for friend can command her knight order.
Thus, Shane arrived at Luoqi’s room, where he finally saw several female knights standing guard.
“Marquis!”
The female knights promptly noticed Shane and imdiately knelt on one knee towards him, formally saluting.
Their etiquette was much more formal than before.
It seems that Shane’s status in these female knights’ hearts is rising, and the female knights have recognized Shane as their future master, hence the formal greeting?
“Is Her Highness in?”
Shane casually asked.
Unlike in the past when she was often in her room, during warti, Luoqi has beco much busier, often not in her quarters, either attending high-level etings with the Kingdom at Anxi’s place or handling transitions and communications with the Goddesses from the Divine Race, making Shane unaware of how many tis he missed Luoqi at ho this past month.
That’s why he asked.
Fortunately, Shane’s luck was good today.
“Her Highness is in the room.”
One of the female knights respectfully replied.
“However, Her Highness did not return to rest last night; she might be sleeping now.”
Upon hearing, Shane nodded, indicating he understood.
“I’ll go in and have a look.”
Leaving behind these words, Shane gently opened the door to Luoqi’s room.
The female knights exchanged glances but said nothing in opposition.
If it were anyone else, even the King, they couldn’t enter Princess’s room without announcent, especially when she was resting.
Only Shane, though rely Luoqi’s fiancé and not yet officially wed, had heard all sorts of indescribable sounds from this room, so the female knights did not consider that Luoqi needed to avoid anything in front of Shane.
Therefore, the female knights focused on being silent and kept themselves in a state of not speaking or making noise.
When Shane entered Luoqi’s room to be alone with her, no matter what sounds ca from the room, everyone in the Holy Sword Knights acted as if they heard nothing.
After all, as the Hero and the Princess shalessly acted, these young maidens cared about their own reputation.
Unaware of what the female knights were thinking, Shane entered Luoqi’s room of his own accord and closed the door.
Inside the room, a silence spread.
Shane shifted his gaze towards the direction of the bed.
There, as the female knights had said, the Princess was indeed resting.
“Whew…”
Along with a soft breathing sound, Luoqi lay sleeping on her side under the covers, resting sweetly.
Sunlight happened to spill in from the window, shining on her.
A gentle breeze also blew in from the window, causing the curtains and bed drapes to ripple in circles.
The scene of the unparalleled beauty of the Princess asleep within the sun and breeze was an elegantly dreamy picture.
If he had a phone, Shane would have wanted to capture the scene to use as wallpaper or a screensaver.
Anyway, watching this scene made Shane feel warmly serene.
Shane did not disturb Luoqi, but approached her bedside with light steps, sitting on the edge and watching quietly.
As he watched, Shane couldn’t resist reaching out to smooth Luoqi’s disheveled hair.
“Mmm…”
Luoqi seed to sense sothing but didn’t wake, just furrowed her brow slightly with a soft murmur.
This animal-like behavior caused Shane to sigh.
“If only you could be this quiet normally, not so lively and lazy, it would be nice?”
“That way, I could properly pamper and cherish you, not always being led by your antics as if we’re playing around.”
“Though that is also a harmonious and loving interaction, in others’ eyes, Shane and Luoqi would seem just like a couple in love, but Shane still felt a bit exasperated.”
“When I have to threaten to annul the engagent to scare you into behaving, how can that be enjoyable?”
“With your personality wanting to be the Main Palace wife, you’d skew the entire family dynamic, wouldn’t you?”
Shane tapped Luoqi’s little nose.
“Truly leaves one speechless.”
In Luoqi’s slumber, Shane expressed feelings he wouldn’t usually tell her.
Of course, Shane also noticed the slight weariness on Luoqi’s brow.
Presumably, this girl hadn’t slept all night, which is why she’s so tired now?
“For soone who usually only wants to slack off, you handle the necessary tasks dutifully.” Shane murmured, “Perhaps this is why those who like you find you irresistible?”
Unfortunately, only one person is privileged to see this side of Luoqi.
Thus, the identity of “those who like you” is sothing that needs no words.
“Thank you for your hard work, sleep well.”
Shane tenderly stroked Luoqi’s cheek and leaned down towards her forehead.
Just then…
“…What are you doing?”
A voice that sounded both curious and puzzled, both vigilant and mischievous, suddenly erged from the side.
Shane’s movent froze abruptly, and he slowly looked to the side.
There, a Goddess appeared at so point, staring intently at Shane as if looking at a starving wolf.
“…”
Shane was silent.
“…”
Lidas remained silent too, just staring fiercely at Shane.
Shane stayed in the pose of preparing to kiss Luoqi, stuck in place.
For a long ti, without words.
