Lia remained still, observing the situation. He had initially wanted to apologize, but then realized he hadn't done anything wrong, so he quietly watched Andy slowly stand up.
That's right, at this moment, Andy's hairstyle was completely messed up. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, his battle-damaged look was incredibly cool because his back had hit the wall. The steel-solid interstellar orc directly smashed the wall, leaving spiderweb patterns. Half a minute later, the wall collapsed instantly.
Dust, like smoke, spread throughout the conference room.
The smile on Ris's face gradually faded.
If his partner's Spiritual Power is already this formidable, Quinn would have absolutely no idea that Andy was planning a surprise attack on Lia today.
The emperor, who enjoyed teasing people, gradually realized that it was all his doing.
Seeing the beautiful mermaid queen's face gradually turn panicked, Lia gently covered her nose. "Your Majesty, should we call a doctor to take a look...?"
Hearing the gentle voice, Ris's face instantly lit up with a smile, "Haha, no need, he'll be fully recovered by the time the doctor arrives. Orcs have a strong self-healing ability."
Therefore, high-ranking orcs in interstellar space rarely have healers treat their injuries, unless it is a highly complex condition such as Spiritual Power disturbance, Spiritual Power disorder, or tearing of the Spirit Sea.
Now he suddenly remembered that Quinn seemed particularly relaxed the last time he saw him. Could it be that the rift in his Spirit Sea had been repaired?
Lia felt the Emperor's gaze growing increasingly intense, and lowered his head shyly. "Um... Uncle, how are you feeling?"
Ris's smile widened. "With my darling Lia around, it seems Uncle won't have to suffer from insomnia anymore."
He could feel his nerves being soothed, albeit only to a small extent, but that proved the pills were effective.
Lia didn't see Andy use his Spiritual Power to clean her clothes.
At this moment, Andy, apart from his disheveled hair, had fully recovered.
He walked up to Lia, took out a knife, and handed it to him.
"Mr. Luo, I'm sorry for misunderstanding you. Here's the knife; you can kill me on the spot..."
Before Andy could finish speaking, he was flung against another wall by His Majesty's Spiritual Power.
The scene felt strangely familiar.
Well, there were only two walls left out of the four. Lia sighed with relief that he had the Breathing Technique, otherwise, in this situation, he would have been so stressed that he would have faked his death.
"Uncle, please don't be angry."
Ris's smile was still there, but his azure eyes seemed a little irritated. Lia could tell that this irritation wasn't because of him, but because of Andy had just caused trouble.
There was nothing he could do; Quinn would definitely come after Andy if he found out, and all he could do was offer a few words of advice.
At this moment, Ris spoke up again, "I'm sorry, Lia, Andy isn't usually like this. He only acted so impulsively because he was worried about my safety."
Lia nodded slowly, without a trace of displeasure on her face. "I know, there are reasons, it's just that Quinn... should know by now."
Ris already felt a chill run down his spine. Only now did he begin to feel a little genuine emotion. They were the ones who asked for favors, and they were also the ones who wanted to hurt them.
Ris covered his face, already wondering if Andy would even be alive in a moment. Andy had just handed her the knife again, as if he were forcing Lia to forgive him.
Andy was far too impulsive today!
As expected
Less than 20 minutes later, Quinn appeared at the palace.
Andy was slammed against the wall and brutally beaten; the stench of blood filled the air.
They had already moved to a different location.
The strong smell of blood hit Lia's nose, and she covered it with her hand as she walked over.
Worried that the meeting room would also become filled with smoke and dust, he called out softly, " Quinn, that's enough. He was just trying to protect his master. The situation did look very complicated at the time. I wasn't injured, was I?"
Quinn's furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and he threw another punch.
Ris secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it was truly a miracle that Andy was still alive.
Quinn has killed countless orcs, and those lower level than him are almost instantly killed. Andy is a higher level and can withstand the attacks, but being constantly beaten one-sidedly is... quite pitiful to watch.
Lia wanted to cover her face. If Andy became queen in the future, oh dear... He slowly walked over and pulled Quinn back, whispering, "It's all a misunderstanding, don't fight anymore."
Quinn snorted coldly, giving Andy, whose face was covered in scars but still made him handsome, a disapproving look.
"You brainless idiot, don't think I don't know you're sent by the Thor Family Clan. You'd better behave yourself."
Lia: "..." It seems he can act arrogantly from now on. With Quinn's protectiveness, he can already take advantage of his father's favor.
"Alright, let's go back now, I'm tired." After saying this to Quinn, he bowed to His Majesty again, "Uncle, I'll go back now, remember to take your medicine."
Ris's face betrayed no other emotion, only a gentle smile. "Thank you for your hard work, my dear Lia. I look forward to seeing you again."
Lia almost laughed out loud at this, feeling that both of her visits to the palace had been quite amusing.

Whether it was because Quinn was a little out of control or not, when they got home that night, Lia still went along with him and got a permanent mark.
