Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

654  The Lost Lover Yarin's POV:

It was an ordinary delivery box with tape, a delivery receipt, and the logo of a very ordinary delivery company. But I was sure I didn't buy anything, so I couldn't possibly expose my current address.

Who sent this? What was inside?

I tried to call the servant who delivered the package, but what happened next made my hair stand on end.

"Your Highness, I can't find the servant you mentioned," the young butler said. "I checked the surveillance cameras. The surveillance cameras showed that no one came to this lounge except the waiter who delivered the food today."

"Are you sure? But how is that possible?"

After my confirmation, the butler took Heller and me to check the surveillance camera. As expected, nobody came to deliver anything during that period.

I felt my hair stand on end.

"But that package is still in the lounge…"

Right, the lounge!

Lily was still there! If there was a problem with the delivery, she might be in danger!

I ran back without looking back and pushed open the door. The lounge was empty.

"Lily! Lily! Are you there?"

I couldn't care less about the others and anxiously searched for her. But she disappeared into thin air just like that. I searched all the secret doors, but I couldn't find her.

The broken package was lying on the ground alone. The tape was sticking out, indicating that the contents of the delivery box had escaped.

Lily's disappearance must have something to do with this strange delivery.

Instantly, the Lily of the Valley appeared in my mind. Other than it, I couldn't think of anyone or any organization that would deliberately do this. This must be another conspiracy!

I couldn't be bothered to be depressed. I immediately ordered the butler, "Seal off this sanatorium. Without my permission, no one is allowed to enter or leave! Tell all the butlers and servants to gather in the hall on the first floor. I want to find out who the mole is one by one!"

I took a deep breath and said, "Ask Master Dorothy to see me now.""

Aunt Dorothy soon arrived. She hurriedly checked whether Heller and I were safe before letting out a deep sigh.

"Lily has been staying with Heller and me," I said frankly. "No one knows except Mom and us. Someone sent a package. I felt something was wrong, so I checked the surveillance cameras. However, when I came back, Lily was gone. The box was also opened. I suspected that it had something to do with Lily's disappearance."

Aunt Dorothy only glanced at the express delivery box and said, "Of course. The magic fluctuations on it are simply unconcealed. Let me see…"

She picked up the delivery box and carefully checked the traces left on it. "It's a sealing spell that seems to be used to seal living things and… Oh, the Overlapping Sorcery. The two sorcery were entangled together. Other than sealing, there is also purification."

Her expression became more and more serious. "There was a plant sealed in here. It was a flower, like the asparagus family. This flower has been contaminated before, so the purification spell should be used to offset the evil power that overflowed from the flower. Other than that, the box had other remnants of magic fluctuations. It looked like… Spatial sorcery."

"Spatial spell? Is it the one who took Lily away?"

"It's possible." Aunt Dorothy frowned. "But spatial witchcraft is a kind of witchcraft that requires high talent and magic power. If there is such a person among our enemies, we can't underestimate him."

"Can you reverse trace it?" I asked anxiously.

"No." Aunt Dorothy shook her head helplessly. "Unfortunately, my talent is not here. However, since this parcel was originally sent to you, it means that the other party has gotten the wrong person.

"They want you because they want to use you for something. Now that they have accidentally caught Lily, there is a high chance they won't do anything to her. Instead, they will try to use her to get you or achieve their original goal. At least for now, we don't have to worry about her safety."

"... Don't worry about her safety? What about the others? Will she be tortured and subjected to witchcraft? Will she..."

The more I spoke, the more I trembled. Every word was trembling. Aunt Dorothy held my shoulder and said seriously, "Calm down, Yarin. Now is not the time to panic. Don't be pessimistic. You have to trust Lily to come back safe and sound, okay? Don't let your pessimism get the better of you. Cheer up; you know someone needs you now."

I tried to suppress my trembling hands and took deep breaths, hoping to calm down. However, I couldn't suppress the despair and self-blame in my heart. If I had considered it more, if I had taken the package away or asked Lily to leave the lounge, would all of this not have happened?

How was Lily now? Was she afraid? Was the Lily of the Valley cruel to her? Did they hit her?

Suddenly, Kara's cold face appeared before my eyes again - death! It was death! Would they do the same to Lily? Would these criminals, who treated human life like grass, take Lily's life mercilessly?

The immense fear made my entire body tremble. I felt a violent discomfort in my stomach. I rushed into the toilet and vomited. The half-digested food was like rotten meat that was oozing blood. Every drop of gastric acid corroded my heart.
