Half an hour later, Chu Yun's legs felt weak as he lay on Cinderella's stepmother's bed, utterly exhausted.
The stepmother was more seductive than Elaine.
Her exquisite figure and plump body were more mature and alluring.
Chu Yun lasted one hour with Elaine, but only half an hour with the stepmother.
The power of a mature white-skinned witch far surpassed a young girl like Elaine.
"Knight Master ~ I'm off to buy materials for the potions ~" Stepmother blushed, her lips curling with purple lipstick.
Since Cinderella's father died, Stepmother had not found another man, dedicating herself to potion brewing.
After resting a while at Cinderella's, Chu Yun rode back to the Royal Palace in Royal City.
Having talked deeply with Stepmother, Chu Yun hadn't bathed yet.
The first thing upon returning was a comfortable hot bath.
Several young maids wearing white silk miniskirts helped scrub Chu Yun's back.
Soaking in the hot water, Chu Yun felt completely relaxed.
Suddenly, the sound of high heels approached outside the bath.
A maid in a black maid outfit with a miniskirt just covering her thighs, wearing white silk suspender stockings, walked in slowly.
"Knight Master, the queen requests your presence."
"Alright, I understand."
Chu Yun had been busy these days helping Prince Milton find Cinderella and having Stepmother brew potions.
He hadn't massaged the queen for some time, unsure how she was.
Wearing a bathrobe, Chu Yun entered the queen's chamber and immediately smelled strong blood.
Several bodies lay on the floor in Royal Palace guard uniforms—clearly killed by the queen to vent her anger.
The queen wore a sexy black dress, her white shoulders and back exposed.
She sat on a chair, crossing her beautiful legs clad in shiny pearlescent black silk pantyhose.
Her feet, wearing strappy high-heeled sandals, lightly swung in the air.
The Evil Queen looked at Chu Yun coldly like a true queen.
"Your most loyal knight has arrived."
Seeing the queen's serious expression, Chu Yun dared not be careless.
"Come here!"
The queen stretched out her flawless jade hand with black nail polish and beckoned Chu Yun.
Carefully, Chu Yun approached.
Just as he thought the queen might attack, she removed her high heels.
She placed her exquisite black silk-clad feet into Chu Yun's hands.
"Massage harder!" the queen ordered coldly.
"Yes!"
Chu Yun held her black silk feet, massaging while observing her expression.
Seeing only enjoyment, Chu Yun grew bolder.
"Your Majesty, I see you're upset. Is there something troubling you?" Chu Yun cautiously asked.
"Troubling? Hmph! Those refugees in the north."
"Many northern cities have been attacked by monsters recently. Countless civilians have been displaced. If these refugees aren't settled properly, the Heretic forces in Canglan Kingdom will only grow stronger!"
The queen spoke coldly.
Canglan Kingdom was factionalized. Besides the royal family and dukes, the Heretic faction had recently grown powerful.
These Heretics lured commoners with food, making them devote their wealth and lives to the Holy Cult.
Snow White had brought the Royal Knight Order to Duke Glorier's territory because of the Heretics there.
"Your Majesty, I may not be able to handle the Heretics, but governing refugees is easy."
While massaging, Chu Yun said.
The queen's bewitching face suddenly changed.
"Speak quickly. How do you govern refugees? If you can help me, I will grant you any reward!"
"May I ask, Your Majesty, what does the royal family lack most in governing refugees?" Chu Yun smiled lightly.
"Gold coins, of course!" The queen said without hesitation.
"If the royal family has enough gold to buy grain and bake bread, the refugees won't be tempted by the Heretics."
"Knight Lord, how can the royal family earn gold coins?"
The queen looked at Chu Yun expectantly.
Chu Yun had Stepmother brew Mana Recovery Potion to earn gold coins.
Selling it openly in Royal City would surely attract the queen's attention.
Thus, he needed a mysterious new identity to earn gold without the queen noticing.
Chu Yun had asked Stepmother about materials for Mana Recovery Potion; one gold coin could buy enough.
That was a conservative estimate—buying in bulk could reduce costs.
Mana Recovery Potion instantly restores Magic Power for Magicians, Witches, and others with Magic Power.
It had no side effects and repeated use within a short time didn't reduce effectiveness.
The currently popular low-level Mana Recovery Potion in Canglan Kingdom cost at least five gold coins per bottle.
It took time to take effect, and multiple doses in a short time halved the effect.
Compared to Chu Yun's potion, theirs was trash.
"Your Majesty, when I traveled the world, I met an alchemist with a mysterious Mana Recovery Potion."
Chu Yun described a powerful, secretive alchemist to the queen, attributing the potion to him.
"Does this alchemist really have such a potion?"
The Evil Queen asked quickly.
As a Ninth Level Archmage, she knew how irresistible a potion that instantly restored Magic Power was to magicians.
If the royal family could cooperate with this alchemist to supply Mana Recovery Potion continuously, they could earn huge gold.
"Of course. I'm a loyal knight and never lied to you."
"But this alchemist dislikes strangers. He is obsessed with alchemy and only sells potions because he needs rare materials lately."
Chu Yun smiled lightly.
The queen nodded.
Alchemists spent as much as magicians. High-level alchemists' ingredients cost countless gold.
If this was a high-level alchemist short on gold, Chu Yun's story was believable.
"Knight Lord, this is your mission. If you negotiate with the alchemist, you will be richly rewarded."
With the royal family's gold problem solved, the queen's mood improved.
"Knight Lord, don't just massage my silk-clad feet ~ though that feels nice ~"
"Move your hands higher ~ faster!"
Seeing the queen's bewitching face, a sly smile curled on Chu Yun's lips.
He massaged up along the smooth, glossy, pearlescent black silk on her leg.
Soon, the queen rolled her eyes under Chu Yun's skilled massage.
