After quickly wearing the second male lead who was rejected

Chapter 147 I Want to Be a Free Bird (1)

After thinking about the incident of Cedric punching Lotus, the king believed that Lotus was rude, and since Cedric had sent several boxes of gold coins, the king did not pursue the matter.

As for Lotus, he was ordered by the king to stay at home and not go out for three days.

Lotus lived outside the palace. He had moved to a manor outside since he married Finina. In the morning, when the ministers came to see the king, Lotus had to take a carriage to the palace.

Inside Lotus Manor.

Lotus, with an unhappy look on his face, was riding a horse and strolling along the path in his garden. Looking at the flowers in the garden, he couldn't help complaining, "Looking at so many flowers makes me irritated." He hated things with bright colors, not just flowers.

"Your Highness, do you want the servants to shovel these flowers?" The middle-aged butler on the side held the reins and looked up at Lotus.

"Let's get rid of them all. By the way, what is Fenina doing now?" Lotus's face darkened even more when he thought of Fenina. This woman had been staring at Hailain the whole night. Did she think that would get Hailain to help her?

What a ridiculous idea, Finina still hasn't realized that she is already his, Lotus's.

He had to make Finina face the reality completely. If she continued to harbor such unrealistic fantasies, he would let Finina know his methods!

Charles replied respectfully, "Mrs. Finina has not left her room this morning. Your Highness, would you like to go see Mrs. Finina?"

"Then go ahead," Lotus said coldly. It just so happened that he hadn't punished Finina yet.

On the other side, Finina came to the door of Lotus' bedroom. She looked around and confirmed that there were no servants coming. Then she quietly opened the bedroom door and walked in.

There was a nervous look on her face.

Finina came to the big bed, turned over the pillow and began to search.

The maids would clean the room after Lotus got up, and at this point the maids had already finished cleaning.

As Finina searched, she prayed in her heart that she would find Lotus's hair.

Finally, she found a short golden hair in an inconspicuous gap.

At this time, Finina heard familiar footsteps and became panicked, but she did not forget to hold the hair in her hand. After quickly restoring the pillow, Finina began to look for a place to hide.

She listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer.

Her heart was beating so fast in her chest that it seemed as if it would burst out at any second. Finina stood there frozen, her eyes fixed on the bedroom door. She was so nervous and frightened that she didn't even dare to breathe.

But Lotus did not open the bedroom door. He walked straight past the door and the footsteps began to fade away.

Finina stood there, her face pale. If Lotus had opened the bedroom door just now, she would have been severely punished.

Because Lotus didn't allow her to enter the bedroom.

But Finina did not relax. She walked to the door, and after confirming that there was no footsteps, she quickly opened the door and then closed it behind her.

Lotus must have gone looking for her.

This thought came to Finina's mind. She held the hair tightly and walked towards the garden. She had to send the hair away before Lotus found her.

When Lotus arrived in front of Finina's room and kicked the door open, he looked at the empty room and asked Charles, "Where is she?"

Charles was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "I'll send someone to find Lady Finina! Your Highness, please wait here for a moment." As Charles turned to leave, Lotus grabbed him by the back of his collar.

"No need, I've already seen her." Lotus looked gloomily at Finina who was sitting on the grass not far outside the window.

Charles hurriedly followed Lotus, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Because Lotus had ordered him to have people monitor Finina's every move. Finina had unexpectedly appeared in the small garden without anyone's knowledge. Charles just hoped that Prince Lotus would not find fault with him for this.

Finina looked at the bird flying away from the tree. She noticed that Lotus was coming here, so she looked away.

"Your Highness..." Finina lowered her head and faced the angry Lotus with a submissive attitude. But her slightly trembling hands betrayed her fear at the moment.

Lotus roughly pulled Finina's arm, yanked her up, and scolded her, "You slutty woman, why don't you stay in your room?!"

"...Your Highness, I just want to smell the flowers here." Finina's voice was soft and trembling. Her face was pale, and even more sickly in the sunlight. Her eye sockets were sunken, and there were dark circles under her eyes, indicating that she was not in good spirits.

She kept her eyes down, not daring to look at Lotus's face.

"Damn flowers! Damn flowers! These are the things I hate most in my life!" Lotus's face was grim. He pulled Finina and made her carry him on her back. Then he reached out and roughly pulled the belt on her back.

"No! No! Your Highness, not here! Let's go to the room, okay?" Fenina panicked and tried to stop Lotus from pulling her skirt. However, there was a huge difference in strength between the two, and Fenina was too thin, so she couldn't resist Lotus's hand at all.

Charles, standing aside, was about to speak but stopped himself. He tried to reach out to stop Lotus, but when he thought of Lotus's temper, he stopped the idea. Charles looked around and waved his hands where Lotus couldn't see, asking the nearby servants to stay away.

At least give this poor woman a little dignity.

After a while, Lotus stood up reluctantly. He picked up his trousers and said to Charles, "Let's go, Charles. Let's go find Saminos."

"Yes, Your Highness." Charles followed Lotus' footsteps and left.

Finina, lying on the grass, was stiff all over. She looked at the dazzling sun, tears already sliding down from the corners of her eyes.

Finina gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and slowly stood up from the ground. She was used to the physical pain, but the pain in her heart was something she couldn't ignore.

Her exposed back was already red, but the messy scars on her back could still be seen.

"Madam." Finina's personal maid came over.

Finina looked up at her, her eyes bloodshot, and she said with difficulty: "Take me back to the bedroom." She was almost unable to stand, and when the personal maid came over, she leaned her body on her.

Before leaving, Finina looked back in the direction the bird had left. She pursed her lips, wondering when she could turn into a bird and leave this manor and the Valenas family.

Inside the palace.

Gu Chang found Michael cleaning the windows.

The sunlight shone through the glass onto Michael, casting a glow on his face.

Gu Chang thought of the scene he saw last night, and there was a bit more inquiry into Michael in his eyes.

"Your Highness, are you coming to see His Majesty the King?" Michael had noticed Gu Chang's figure a long time ago. He put down the rag in his hand and turned to face Gu Chang.

"No, I'm here to find you." Gu Chang directly stated his purpose.

Michael raised his eyebrows in confusion, "Looking for me? What does Your Highness want to see me about?"

"Did my mother Anna come to see my father last night? She looked very bad when she came back, and her hand seemed to be injured." Gu Chang thought of when Anna came back last night, she hid her right hand behind her back unnaturally.

After Anna knew that Cedric had left, she told Gu Chang to go and rest quickly and not to worry about anything else.

After hearing Gu Chang's question, Michael thought for a moment before answering, "Your Highness, Princess Anna did come here last night, but she was not injured. His Majesty the King and Princess Anna just chatted for a while."

"Thank you for telling me this, but aren't you my father's personal bodyguard? Why do you still have to do the job of cleaning windows?" Gu Chang's gaze turned to the rag on the windowsill.

Michael curled his lips and smiled. "This place is big, and there will always be places that the servants can't reach. Besides, His Majesty the King is not in good health right now, so it's better to avoid dust as much as possible."

"Is that so?" Gu Chang smiled and continued, "Did Zephiel tell you that there are a lot of weird people in the royal city recently?"

"Hmm? A weird person?" Michael seemed to be interested, and his usually calm eyes showed a hint of curiosity.

"Yes, those people are very strong. They rob things everywhere and wear cloaks and refuse to show up. They seem to be afraid of sunlight and allergic to it." Gu Chang heard this news when Zephir came to see Anna this morning while he was having breakfast.

Zephir would sometimes come to see Anna and bring her some news from the outside world.

"Did he go to see Princess Anna?" Michael's first thought was that Zephir had gone to see Princess Anna again. This younger brother had left home at the age of ten and came to the royal city, where he had been learning how to become a knight under Rhode's guidance.

It is not good to leave your mother too early.

Zephir is now 27 years old and has not yet found a lady of his choice to marry.

So does he.

This is also something their father has been talking about.

Michael's thoughts wandered. Recently, his father, Ed, had written him a letter saying he'd be coming to the Royal City soon to talk to him about something. Michael figured, as long as it wasn't about urging him to get married, anything else would be fine.

"Yes, Zephir is a very good person. He was the one who escorted me back to the royal city last time." Although Gu Chang had told Michael about this matter, he now had to get closer to this person, so it would be nice to mention it appropriately.

However, Gu Chang noticed that Michael remained calm when he said he was "allergic to sunlight."

It's too quiet, it seems a little strange.
