Lei Yuan was not interested in girly things. However, as her companion, he still had to pretend.

“If you like it, buy it.” Lei Yuan waved the item in his hand and said helplessly, “By the end of the day, you would have bought a lot of things anyway.”

He really did not expect that the first time he accompanied a girl, it would be to walk down a street.

After buying the trinket, Lotti still had a smile on her face. Actually, throughout the whole day, her smile never disappeared from her face. Who knows if it was because of Lei Yuan’s company.

Meanwhile, Lei Yuan was exhausted while Lotti was very happy. Occasionally, she would shyly lead him around the stalls.

In the evening, the two of them returned to the palace.

Just as they were about to part ways, Lotti suddenly reminded him, “Lei Yuan, don’t forget that only a day has passed. You promised to accompany me for two days.”

“I won’t go back on my word.”Even if she did not remind him, he would still remember.

However, the two of them did not notice Ofia, who was rushing over.In fact, the Queen had been keeping track of their whereabouts for the entire day.

She had sent someone to follow the two of them, and her subordinates reported every detail to her.Therefore, the Queen knew that the two of them had done a lot of “intimate things.”

However, she could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.

When their “date” finally ended, Ofia hurried over and saw Lotti shyly reminding Lei Yuan of his promise.

Ofia was speechless.She did not feel good. Although she wanted to marry Lei Yuan, it was not because she loved him.However, it was hard for her to accept that her fiancé was coveted by another woman.

“I see that you have returned. Since you’re back now, go back to your own rooms and attend to your own business.”

Ofia’s appearance made Lotti’s expression turn unpleasant. She certainly did not want to see herself being taken lightly.

As for Lei Yuan, he was just about to send away one major figure, why did another suddenly appear? And it was the more difficult one to deal with.

“I don’t need you to tell me when to go back,” Lotti challenged. “Since I am exchanging two days of my time with Lei Yuan, then strictly speaking, the current time is also mine. How come, Your Majesty, you’re trying to steal even someone else’s time?”

“But the Radiant Knight still has his own work to deal with. Aren’t you too selfish to have someone, who should be working, accompany you?”

“Tsk, he promised me that himself. What does it have to do with you? I believe that the moment Lei Yuan agreed to my request, he had already made his own work arrangements.”

Lei Yuan was speechless. ‘Why was she so sure of herself?

In fact, Lei Yuan’s work arrangements could be said to be a mess. He had just taken up this position, so he had no idea what he needed to do or what he should do.

“Is that so? It doesn’t look like you really care about his situation. His public affairs are in chaos right now,” Ofia said mockingly. “You should hurry back and not hold him up. Isn’t that right, my Radiant Knight?” In the end, she still saw him as her fiancé.

Lei Yuan found it hard to get used to this form of address. She even added “my” in front of his title, which made his hackles rise.

He did not want to stay in Ofia’s presence, nor did he wish to stay with Lotti any longer.

“Go back first,” Lei Yuan said to Lotti. “I’ll keep my promise. See you tomorrow.”

His tone was not gentle, and much better than his usual toughness.

“See you tomorrow.”Before she left, Lotti gave Ofia a provocative look, as if she had won.

Lei Yuan was not blind to the power play between the two women. In fact, he was the one who was caught in the middle and had the hardest time.

“You seemed to have had a lot of fun,” Ofia’s tone was not good, and there was even a hint of anger in it. “Or is it that you are ready to go to her country?”

‘What is she talking about?’

“When have I ever said something like that?” Lei Yuan said in annoyance. “I made a promise to her, so I have to keep it. It’s certainly not what you think.”

He was like a boyfriend defending himself from accusations of spending too much time with another girl… Ofia’s face gradually turned red.

Her words just now sounded too unreasonable.After all, she did not have the status to care about his private life now.

Even though she understood it clearly, Ofia still insisted, “Then go to work now. How’s the matter I asked you to complete?”

She was referring to the interrogations.

“I didn’t get much information. I think they really didn’t know,” Lei Yuan said seriously. “In any case, their lives are spared. Unless there’s no other way, I won’t take their lives lightly.”

“People like them are already traitors, so they should die.”Ofia’s eyes were filled with malice.

She had put so much effort into protecting this country, yet others were still plotting against her.

As the conversation started to go awry, Lei Yuan quickly escorted her back to her chambers and left.Even if he continued the conversation with her, he didn’t know how long it would go on for.

…

The next day, Lei Yuan completed his deal with Lotti as promised.

That night, Lotti began to teach him the art of beast taming.

“My country is called the Hundred Beasts Kingdom. We have many divine beasts. In order to establish a country and control the ferocious beasts, our ancestors developed the art of beast taming. Therefore, our country can also be said to be the birthplace of beast taming,” Lotti explained.

Lei Yuan pondered. “We’ve known each other for a while now, but this is the first time I’ve heard you mention your country.”

No, he should have found out during his time in the palace. He realized that he did not pay enough attention to these things. He just was not that interested.

“You didn’t even know about my country,” Lotti looked surprised. “In that case, let me explain it to you. The beast taming art in my country…”

Lei Yuan was listening carefully at first, but he soon realized that much of the content was merely empty talk.Suddenly, he felt as though Lotti was trying to fool him.

“You’ve been talking for so long without actually teaching me anything. What kind of teaching is this?” Lei Yuan said coldly. “If you don’t know how to teach, you don’t have to.”

Why did he bother wasting two days of his time?

Realizing that she was being looked down upon, Lotti retorted, “How can you say that I don’t know? Do you know how long it takes for a mage to practice? Do you really think it’s that simple?”

“Now, try it yourself. You should know that becoming a beast tamer is not easy. There have been very few top beast tamers over the past century, yet you dare to say such big words?”

But she did not teach him anything specific, how was he supposed to practice?

Lei Yuan was speechless. “Why don’t you at least tell me the details? You just want me to sit down and cultivate? What nonsense is this?”

“That’s how I practiced,” Lotti gave him a spell, “Feel the nature and eliminate distractions. Let’s see how long it takes for you to succeed!”

For someone as powerful as Lei Yuan, it should not be difficult to break through.

But Lei Yuan knew himself well, and the so-called spells might not work for him.
