However, Stella did not slow down. She continued to fly until they were outside the Royal City. Darryl also continued to look behind him anxiously when they were in the air. The Scope brothers went back to save more people, and Darryl was anxious to find out who they had saved. Finally, Stella stopped on a hill a dozen kilometers away from the Royal City. She had been flying all the way with Darryl and Yvette; her cheeks were red due to exhaustion, but she looked rather charming in that shade. Darryl breathed a sigh of relief. He lowered his head and glanced at Yvette. Her eyes were still closed, and it seemed like she was still in a coma. Whoosh! Whoosh Suddenly, he sensed a breath of aura pulsated behind him—it was the four Scope brothers. Damn it! 'Oh, gods! Why did they save her?' Darryl raised his eyes to look at them, and he was so shocked that he was speechless. The four brothers brought a slender lady in a golden phoenix robe. She was gorgeous in many ways,
'What? She's not a friend?' The Scope brothers were stunned when they heard that. They darted their confused gazes between the Empress and Darryl before they scratched their heads and yelled at the Empress. "I thought so! This woman is so fierce, how can our brother-in-law's friend? Look, you saved the wrong person..." "Why are you looking at me? I wasn't the one who picked her, it's Third Brother!" "She was crying so hard, so we thought that Lord Kenny had bullied her and that she must be our brother-in-law's friend…" "What do we do now? Send her back?" The four brothers turned around and were about to send the Empress back to the altar. "Hold on, hold on..." Darryl stopped them when he realized what they wanted to do. He smiled and said, "You guys have worked hard to save her; there's no need to send her back there!" F*ck! Darryl was perplexed; those brothers differed significantly from an ordinary person. They would want to send her back even after they spend so
Stella made the suggestion solemnly; her eyes showed kindness. Stella could see that Yvette was a significant woman to Darryl, but she was not jealous. She felt content that she could help Darryl as much as possible. However, the Empress did not appreciate her kindness. She responded with a cold rebuke, "Shut up! Who are you to interrupt me when I talk to this b*stard?" Stella smiled bitterly; she did not say anything else after she sensed the Empress' imposing aura. Darryl shook his head firmly. "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, but I can't let you and Yvette leave." He and Yvette had gone through so many twists and turns before they could finally be together; how could he give up on their relationship so easily? He vowed never to be separated from her again. "It's okay if you don't agree. She is my daughter, so I have the right to take her away." The Empress had a look of haughty disdain, and she refused to give up. Darryl chuckled, but he said nothing else. For a moment,
The Empress knew that her daughter had missed Darryl dearly. She had wanted to use the Emperor's death as an excuse to force Yvette to sever ties with Darryl, but she knew it was impossible. After she saw her daughter's determination, it seemed like she would never stop her love for Darryl. As a mother, the Empress knew Yvette well. Once she had set her eyes on something, she would never change her mind. "Thank you, Mother!" Yvette was delighted that her mother had agreed to her request. She quickly stepped forward and took the Empress's hand; she did not want her to regret her decision. Darryl also sighed in relief after the issue was resolved. 'Finally, it's done.' Darryl thought that the Empress was too intimidating. Fortunately, Yvette was there to make things happen. Yvette turned her attention toward Stella and the four Scope brothers. She stared at Stella specifically. 'This woman is so beautiful, and she looks like she has a good temperament. Who is she?' Y
Yvette nodded, and then she smiled at Stella. "Sister Stella, thank you very much. Since you are from Ice Fire Island, then may we be your guests there?" Yvette was brilliant; she knew that Stella had fallen for Darryl. Yvette smiled at the kind-hearted Stella, who had saved herself and Darryl, as she had accepted Stella in her heart. At the same time, she suggested that they visit Ice Fire Island to improve the relationship between Darryl and Stella. After all, the new Emperor, Lord Kenny, would never let Yvette and the Empress off easily. He would definitely send soldiers after them, and more importantly, Darryl had been severely injured. He needed a safe place for recuperation. "Of course!" Stella did not hesitate; she immediately nodded joyfully. Darryl was supportive of the suggestion; he sighed in relief. Fortunately, Yvette was a considerate person. They had finally resolved the misunderstanding. The Empress was still upset, but she could not rebuke her daughter's
Stella blushed when she heard the Empress' suggestion. "Mother, I am also Darryl's woman. I also want to be in the same boat as him to take care of him." Yvette spoke anxiously to the Empress. "You told me that I have to be a virtuous wife when I'm married. Now when Darryl needs me, how can I not help him?" Yvette's face flushed when she said that shyly. Even though Yvette had a cheerful and bubbly personality, she was a lady, after all. How could a lady speak so blatantly about their relationship? Darryl had suffered severe injuries, and she was by his side. How could she let another woman take care of him? "Very well, then!" The Empress was speechless. Then, after a moment, she said, "Well, if you're taking care of Darryl, then who would take care of me?" As an Empress, she was used to having her palace maids. She enjoyed a high status where the maids would serve her, no matter her daily meals and other activities. She did not want to change her lifestyle despite th
Soon, they boarded the two boats as planned. Darryl, Yvette and Stella entered the cabin; it was not very spacious, but it was clean. The sea was calm; there were no big waves. The gentle breeze also made them feel comfortable. "Darryl!" As soon as Yvette helped Darryl to sit down, Stella approached him with a few elixir pills. "Even though these pills can't heal your injury completely, they can ease some pain." Stella turned around and began to boil water for tea after she gave the pills to Darryl. "Thank you!" Darryl took the pill, and he felt an immediate pain relief as it took effect. As he felt relaxed and happy, he began to like Stella! The Ice Fire Island's dignified eldest young miss had taken good care of him. It was commendable that she did not appear aloof. It was a rare character trait for those with high status! "Miss Stella!" Yvette stood up, smiled, and said, "You don't need to get busy. You have also been traveling, so you should rest!" Then, Yvette h
Stella was dumbfounded; she asked with a straight face, "Tell me, did you do anything to irritate the Empress? Is that why she chased you away because she was angry?" Stella knew her four senior brothers well. They were full of nonsense and would always mess up their tasks. Most people could not stand them, let alone the noble Empress. The four brothers closed their mouths abruptly and scratched their heads uneasily after Stella interrogated them. "Stop trying to piss me off! I told you to listen to the Empress!" Stella stomped her feet angrily. From their expressions, she knew that they must have done something wrong to incur the Empress' wrath. "It's okay!" Yvette smiled as she went to defuse the situation. "It must have been trying for the four heroes to take care of my mother. It must have been hard on them, so please don't scold them so harshly, Miss Stella." Even though the four brothers were nonsensical, they had fascinating personalities. More importantly, they wer
