The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 3497

Chapter 3497

Yalena was surprised as well. "What’s going on?"

Darryl took a deep breath and said, "The second half of the Holy Jade Scripture is amongst those gifts." Then, he quickly dug around for the Thousand Variations Box.

The others in the room were startled and became inexplicably excited when they found out the second half of the Holy Jade Scripture was in the box.

Darryl was overcome with joy when he finally found the box. He was even happier when he realized the Queen had already unlocked the box. He quickly opened the lid and immediately went into a shock that made his mind buzz with emptiness when he realized it was empty.

How could that have happened? The Queen told him that the second half of the Holy Jade Scripture was hidden inside that Thousand Variations Box. Could she have lied to him? No, the Queen would not lie about that, especially when gifting that box to the Goddess of Light.

Yalena, the Pegasus Paladin, and the others were shocked as well. The Lion Paladin was the first to recover from the shock. "How dare the Queen of Golden Lion Principality scam the Goddess of Light? She must not have gone far. I will go after her and bring her back now!" he shouted angrily. Then, he rushed out of the temple.

However, he had not even taken two steps before Darryl stopped him. "Don’t act so hastily, Golden Lion. There must be an explanation for this." He believed the Queen would not do something like that.

"Yes, Golden Lion, do calm down," Yalena said. She did not know why the box was empty, but she had put her trust in Darryl.

Then Golden Lion scratched his head and stepped aside.

"Are you going back to the Golden Lion Principality?" Yalena asked in a tone that was obvious she could not bear to part with him.

Darryl shook his head and said, "Not at the moment. I still have some other matters to attend to." while it was vital for him to find the second half of the Holy Jade Scripture, he had decided he would help Lolita get her position back first. 1

Yalena did not ask him to stay, she knew he had other matters to attend to. She and the others would go back to the Temple of Light, leaving the 12 paladins to handle the turnover of Pearl City to the Damien family. After a few minutes, Darryl and the 12 paladins escorted Yalena to the sea.

"Saint Lord, the Damien family is hosting a banquet, and we'll be attending it. Would you like to come with US?" the Pegasus Paladin asked after Yalena had left.

Darryl frowned. The Golden Lion Paladin smiled and said, "The head of the Damien family was overjoyed at the fact that they would be in charge of Pearl city. It's only natural they would host a banquet to celebrate the honor."
