Chapter Twenty-Four: Hero Saves the Beauty – Timeless! Part Four (Seeking Flowers and Monthly Tickets)

"Yes. It was my oversight, please forgive me, young lady~"

Loya's expression remained calm as he spoke softly and gently.

At this moment, the Empress's self-esteem was hurt, so the best course of action was naturally to carefully protect it.

But one should not appear humble in order to take good care of her.

Therefore, Loya deliberately addressed the Empress as "girl," meaning, "I treat you gently because you are a girl, not because you are the Empress, and I am trying to please you."

Hearing this ordinary and common form of address, Snake Princess not only didn't feel offended, but instead immediately felt a sense of closeness.

Because she was proud of her beauty, and as an empress, she was deeply loved by the people of the Women's Kingdom, but she was already feeling lonely at the top.

Accustomed to being high and mighty, enjoying the humility and service of others.

For many years now, no one has treated her as just an ordinary girl, nor has anyone treated her with the same kindness and respect.

Suddenly, I felt as if I had returned to my carefree teenage years before I was abducted by human traffickers, a warm and relaxed feeling.

"Come on, give me your hand~"

Having practiced medicine for over five years, Loya has experienced a thousand different lives and often interacted with the daughters and wives of nobles and wealthy merchants, gaining a deep understanding of the inner world of these high-and-mighty women.

The volume, tone, and speed of his speech were all perfectly gentle and peaceful, making them feel close and trusting.

He spoke softly, gesturing for the Empress to remove her left hand from her face.

Snake Princess blinked, hesitated for a moment, then slowly removed her left hand from her face and gently placed it on Loya's outstretched left palm.

And so, Loya steadily supported the Snake Princess's left hand with his left hand, giving her damaged self-esteem a comfortable place to rest.

Meanwhile, Loya's right hand gently rested on the Snake Princess's swollen, purplish-red cheek, emitting a faint green healing light as he gently massaged it.

Snake Princess took a deep breath and immediately felt much better.

The cool, comfortable feeling on her cheek gradually made her develop a slight dependence on Loya's gentle hand.

She even comfortably and slowly closed her eyes.

"Okay~"

She didn't know how much time had passed; it seemed like a very long time, yet also like a fleeting moment.

Hearing Loya's brief words with a slight smile, she slowly opened her eyes, a hint of dependence she herself didn't even realize, and asked in confusion:

"Is this okay?"

"oh oh……"

She wanted to touch her cheek to confirm, but then she shyly remembered that her left hand was resting on Loya's palm.

The Snake Princess's left hand immediately retracted slightly, but after retracting it, she felt there was nowhere to put it, and it was not as comfortable as placing it in Loya's hand!

But then he immediately remembered that he needed to check on his cheeks, so he touched his face with a slightly embarrassed expression.

But Loya had already picked up her broken right wrist and begun to treat it.

The Snake Princess stared blankly at Loya's profile, thinking to herself:

'Has my face truly recovered?'

'Why didn't he even glance at it?'

Is it because I am not pretty enough?

She naturally assumed that now that her face had recovered, the doctor would surely be amazed by her stunning beauty.

In this way, one can regain some of the self-esteem damaged when their face was swollen and ugly in front of the doctor, and regain some face.

But now the doctor is not reacting at all, and his expression and attitude are no different from before, which makes her feel confused and unwilling.

This leads to self-doubt!

'Has my face been healed, but become ugly instead?'

The Snake Princess was filled with fear and began to have wild thoughts.

I just wish I could find a mirror right now so I could examine myself closely!

'Wait, could it be that my face is dirty?'

'So my beauty has been concealed?'

That should be it!

Snake Princess felt she had found the reason, and her confidence immediately returned. She clenched her fists with a little excitement in her heart.

This handshake.

Only then did I suddenly realize it.

Is your right hand healed?

???

Snake Princess was completely bewildered.

But Loya had already stood up, smiling and looking down at her:

"You should rest here; after all, some of your injuries haven't healed yet."

"I've dealt with these uninvited guests, and I'll come back to continue your treatment~"

Having said that, he turned and strode away with a flourish.

He slowly drew the sword from his waist!

Snake Princess immediately stood up, clutching her chest, staring blankly at Loya's elegant and upright back.

"doctor!"

The Snake Princess wants to say, we can fight side by side~

So she called out softly, stood up, and was about to chase after him when she suddenly tripped and fell!

Snake Princess, who had tripped and fallen, looked angrily at her feet.

The ropes binding the sea stone were still in place!

She glanced up at the female soldiers and her two younger sisters around her, and immediately felt a surge of anger:

"What were you all doing just now?"

"How could you not even remember to untie the ropes binding my feet?"

The two younger sisters exchanged a longing look, feeling somewhat wronged.

The doctor didn't even untie you, so why are you only scolding us?

But then again.

They were indeed negligent; because Loya was there, they relaxed and only focused on watching him.

I was drawn to Loya's amazing healing abilities from his Devil Fruit, and I also found it intriguing to see the Empress and Loya, a man, having physical contact.

After all, they had never seen the Empress so intimate with a man before, especially since she seemed so docile.

Gradually, some girls even started staring only at Loya.

The more I look at Loya, the more I find him both handsome and gentle, completely different from any man I've ever met before. He's simply captivating!

It's not an exaggeration.

The men they had seen before were all those who accompanied the Empress on her voyages to plunder treasure; upon meeting them, all they knew was to shout and kill. Even if they encountered handsome men, they had no interest in appreciating them.

Moreover, those men might be attracted to the Empress at first sight, and then be petrified by her.

How do you appreciate a stone?

Only now, as they quietly watched Loya treat the Empress, did they gradually realize the goodness of men. Hormones took over, and it was perfectly normal for their hearts to flutter with desire.

Closer to home.

After several female warriors untied the sea stone ropes binding the snake princess's ankles.

Snake Princess got up and chased after Loya's retreating figure, but after running only a few steps, she was panting heavily, and various aches and pains began to afflict her.

Marco used the Phoenix Seal, a powerful move, to kick her hard, causing some internal injuries. Later, she continued to fight fiercely, and her internal injuries gradually worsened, causing her to lose strength rapidly.

Furthermore, the fractured bone in her knee has not yet healed, causing her considerable pain.

And the few mouthfuls of dirt I ate were stuck in my stomach, making me feel really uncomfortable!

'How could I be stumped by such a small difficulty?'

'We must never leave doctors isolated and helpless!'

Snake Princess gritted her teeth, preparing to forcefully gather her power and go to provide support.

But then a woman's voice came from behind:

"Excuse me, are you Lady Boa Hancock?"

"My older brother said..."

"Below the Four Emperors, he is invincible!"
