"Of course, the pain of being mentally paralyzed is still agonizing to me. I can't tolerate that."
Helena spoke in an icy tone.
This……
Seeing Helena's attitude, Leon, the "culprit" in the plan to control her, felt a chill run down his spine.
He wanted to offer some words of comfort, "Helena, Helena, when will this cycle of revenge end?" but he dared not.
"It's intolerable. Those inhuman bastards must be severely punished."
Leon joined in with his curses.
"Forget about these unhappy things, let's go for a walk. There's more than just beautiful ice sculptures here, there are lots of fun things too. There's a huge ski resort up ahead."
Helena arrived in the Snow City before Leon; she and Hazel had already explored these places.
"okay."
Leon didn't want to continue the topic, so he took Helena's soft little hand and happily enjoyed some alone time with her.
"Isn't that Helena and Leon? No wonder Helena got up so early today, they're on a date! Damn it, I've never had a boyfriend before, I still don't know what it's like to be with a man."
Not far away, Maisie pointed to Leon and Helena, who were building a snowman together in the snow.
Behind Maisie were Hazel and Ella, who had come out to play and happened to be there as well.
"Are Helena and Leon dating? They seem too close. Didn't she say that she and Leon had nothing to do with each other?"
Ella was puzzled, then she turned to look at Hazel.
Should we go over and say hello?
"Ella asked."
"No need, there's no need to bother you."
Hazel said softly, then turned and left in another direction.
"Alas, Hazel."
Maisie and Ella quickly caught up with them.
"We've found her, Helena. And Leon is with her too."
Meanwhile, on the other side of the ski resort, in the crowd, a man with malicious intent in his eyes held a portrait in his hand, staring intently at Helena and Leon, who were playing by the snowman.
"Just in case, you should go and inform High Priest Falma immediately. You and the others, come with me."
The man ordered the man behind him, who, like him, had an undisguised malice in his eyes.
"Okay, Lord Bishop."
The men quickly took action. Although they didn't look like good people, they were very organized and efficient, like professionally trained secret agents.
Chapter Thirty: Erik Has Disappeared
"Leon, there's danger. It seems like we're being watched."
Helena, who was smiling sweetly just a second ago, suddenly spoke in a serious tone the next second.
"what?"
Leon immediately became alert.
Although the ski resort wasn't exactly crowded at the time, there was still a considerable flow of people, and the area was full of tourists. Leon didn't have any problems.
"you sure?"
Leon asked in a low voice.
"Yes, I have the ability to warn of crises. I can sense in advance any hostile intentions from those around me."
Helena replied.
"Okay, let's go."
Leon, of course, chose to unconditionally believe Helena.
She's the main character, so what's wrong with her knowing in advance that someone wants to harm her?
Taking Helena's hand, Leon led her quickly toward the busier commercial street near the ski resort.
If you encounter a thug following you, only someone with a screw loose would try to find a secluded place; of course, you'd go wherever there are the most people.
However, if you think you can kill the criminal, then cooperate by heading to a sparsely populated area where he can easily make his move. Then, when the criminal shows up triumphantly, let him experience the wickedness of the world and understand what a high-level hunter is.
Leon lacked confidence, so he headed towards areas with more people.
After entering the commercial street, Leon led Helena at a jog to the Adventurers' Guild headquarters.
While searching for Helena, Leon had already become a familiar face here. The guards at the gate didn't say anything and let Leon enter, only glancing at the beautiful Helena once more.
"Are they still there?"
After entering the Adventurers' Guild building, Leon asked.
"They're gone; they didn't follow."
Helena answered.
Within the Adventurers' Guild, there are king-level experts who are in charge. Unless it is an angel, or a high-level king, or multiple kings together, no one would dare to come here to suffer.
"Helena, you shouldn't have made any enemies in the Snow City, right?"
"Leon asked."
"No."
Helena thought for a moment before answering.
"Who could it be?"
Leon found a sofa in the rest area and sat down.
It could be someone from the Empire, but it's unlikely to be one of Caesar's men.
When I had my falling out with Caesar last time, although he didn't verbally agree, he probably wouldn't touch Helena for the time being.
Besides, if Caesar really wanted to capture Helena, he wouldn't need to go through all this trouble; an angel would have sufficed.
So, is it also possible that they've come to arrest me?
Why are you arresting me for no reason?
Leon felt that this was unlikely.
Why is Leon in such a hurry to kill me?
Not likely.
"Will Hazel and the others be in danger?"
Helena said worriedly, "We can't just sit here and wait to die. We have to find Hazel and the others."
"Ah."
Leon agreed.
Whether the other party is targeting them or Helena, they may end up harming Hazel and the others.
Ella, a mid-level diamond-grade powerhouse.
It was indeed enough to protect Hazel and the others before, but now the level involved is getting higher and higher, and too many big shots are starting to get involved. Diamond-level people are like ants now.
“Someone is maliciously stalking us, and I would like to request the guild’s protection.”
Leon took Helena to meet Lisa, the fashionable aunt in the office.
"Your Highness Leon, what kind of protection do you desire?"
Lisa smiled ingratiatingly.
"Are there any King-level powerhouses in the guild right now?"
"Leon asked."
"This is a secret, I apologize, Your Highness."
Lisa said awkwardly, "That won't work. Unless there's an order from the city lord, no one can mobilize the king-level experts of Snow City."
Indeed, the King-level are usually the peak combat power of a region, like guardian deities. Leon also felt that he had indeed put people in a difficult position.
"However, there are Obsidian-level adventure teams. Perhaps you could discuss it. As long as there's money, adventure teams can take on bodyguard missions."
Lisa reminded her.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Lisa."
Leon frowned.
Forget it, Obsidian will do. Obsidian is also a very strong fighter. Leon doesn't believe the opponent has a King-level fighter.
Soon, Leon spent a lot of money to hire three members of an Obsidian-class adventure team.
They are both knights, and one is a priest.
Both knights were the quiet type, not saying much, but the priestess was much more talkative.
"Prince Leon of the Empire?"
A young woman with light yellow hair, wearing a priest's robe and having a fairly pretty face smiled and said, "No, I guess she's already an auntie."
"Um, what should I call you?"
Leon responded with a smile.
"Tana, who is this?"
Tana's gaze fell on Helena. "What a beautiful little sister."
"Helena."
Leon replied, then added, "My girlfriend."
"Well, okay."
Tana's eyes were curved in a smile.
"Okay, I'll leave the rest to you."
Without much small talk, Leon and the others left the Adventurers' Guild as quickly as possible and returned to Maisie's cottage.
The cabin was in a mess, with scraps of paper scattered all over the floor and tables and chairs overturned. Hazel, Ella, and Maisie sat around the sofa in silence, the atmosphere heavy.
"Hazel, are you alright?!"
Helena strode forward.
"what happens?"
Leon followed closely behind.
“We just got back not long ago. When we came back and found the house like this, we thought a thief had broken in, but nothing was missing except for Eric.”
Helena answered.
"These don't look like signs of a fight; they look more like someone knocked over a table and chairs while struggling in pain."
Ella continued.
"You left without Erik?"
"Leon asked."
"No, she stayed inside alone. She said she hates the city and just wants to sleep at home."
Maisie replied.
Without a doubt, Eric was home alone, and that's when he encountered what happened.
It's unlikely that she ran away on her own.
Then there's only one possibility: she's been arrested.
Who was it that could so quickly and easily capture a powerful, unruly, and arrogant dragon princess who defied everyone?
