Chapter 145: Igor’s Worries

All the people that heard her words gasped in surprise. It confirmed that she had not fallen into the water by accident, but that there were people trying to bring harm to the queen in this area right now.

The hands that held Rihannan gripped harder than before.

Igor’s wrathful eyes headed towards Basil immediately. Basil became completely pale in the face as he kneeled down to one knee.

“M-My apologies, Your Majesty…”

“Search around the area around here with escorts. Don’t let even a little rat escape this area if they’re suspicious!”

His voice seemed to grind the very bones of Basil. He was not going to accept a single mistake from this point on.

“As you wish!”

Instead of making any excuses, Basil immediately left to search for the man who tried to kill the queen.

Igor quickly moved towards the villa again. As Rihannan shivered heavily from the cold, he hugged her tightly as he rubbed his face against her cold cheek.

“It’s okay, it’s okay…” Igor wasn’t sure whether he was calming her down, or himself as he mumbled with earnest tone.

The villa was somewhere that people would be able to escape to if rain were to suddenly fall.

Inside the building was an already lit fireplace that was done in case of sudden rain. He closed the door behind him and as soon as he entered, undressed Rihannan. He was practically ripping her clothes off as it had stuck right onto her skin due to the wetness, and afterwards, he then laid her on a bed and wrapped her body with a blanket. Igor also took off all of his clothes as well, took Rihannan wrapped in a blanket in his arms, and sat in front of the fireplace.

Even though the air temperature inside the building was hot thanks to the fireplace, her body still felt like it was made of ice. Igor kept holding her body in his arms and rubbed here and there.

After a long time, her shivering small body slowly started to regain its complexion. After checking that her body was starting to come back to body temperature, he let out a long sigh.

Back when he heard Rihannan let out a shocked cry after seeing the ball fly in the wrong direction, he was still feeling very cheerful. He couldn’t help but laugh as he saw her in despair with her hands in her hair.

After seeing Rihnnan follow after the ball, he slowly followed behind her. He was simply worried that she may fall over as she went through the forest. As he was following her, he suddenly heard the sound of something falling into the water. He had a bad feeling in his mind when he heard that.

After hurriedly running towards the sound, what he saw on the surface of the cold lake was many strands of silver hair.

He didn’t remember exactly what happened afterwards. When he came to, he was already pulling Rihannan out of the lake. After making sure that she was okay, his head was filled with so many thoughts that it felt like it was going to explode.

She may have been trying to take her own life this way. No, there’s no way she would. She had been happily participating in the sports even just moments ago after all.

“Damn it!”

More then anything, he was angry that she had fallen to such a dangerous situation. If he had not followed her back then, what would have happened? He’d have ended up finding her head. As soon as he had that thought, he felt like blood was being completely drained out of his body.

After he heard from her that there was someone that tried to push her into the water, his head became so filled with wrath that his head became completely cold right away.

How dare someone attempt such a thing!

“Did you see the person’s face?”

Hearing his question, Rihannan shook her head while in his arms.

“No… it was such a sudden thing that…”
