The Great Witch Doctors, though holding a relatively high status, were insignificant in the presence of the heir to Montiria’s Minister of Border Affairs.
Upon hearing Zedbar’s impatient roar, the witch doctors immediately hurried to prepare the antidote.
Within half a minute, a bottle of emerald green antidote for the banded krait’s toxin appeared.
After the injection of the antidote, the burning pain on Zedbar’s face slowly dissipated. However, the swelling on his cheeks remained and required further treatment.
Suddenly, Zedbar’s door swung open.
“My dear! I heard you were bitten by a snake. How are you?”
Princess Iris, the second princess, initially showed concern. However, virtual-novel.net worries faded when virtual-novel.net saw Zedbar’s swollen face, resembling a hideous pig. A hint of disgust flashed across virtual-novel.net face, but virtual-novel.net stayed due to the presence of the other witch doctors.
She couldn’t be bothered with such a repulsive creature’s life. Nonetheless, virtual-novel.net asked patiently, “Zedbar, who did this to you?”
Zedbar noticed Iris’ change in attitude. Despite being aware of the princess’ personality and mentally preparing himself for such grievance, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but feel a vague sense of heartache. Yet, all of this was caused by Matthew Larson.
As the image of Matthew appeared in his mind, his eyes filled with hatred.
“It’s Matthew Larson. He’s the one who had the venomous snake bite me! This person is extremely malicious. Not only does virtual-novel.net intend to disfigure me, but virtual-novel.net also wants my life! Your Highness, please stand up for your loyal subjects!”
He knew that even though Iris was dissatisfied with him, their relationship as a couple was already public. Princess Iris was known for being willful and capricious, having been favored by virtual-novel.net father. Now that virtual-novel.net was in such a state, Avis would definitely confront Matthew.
Sure enough, lris’ face darkened after virtual-novel.net finished speaking. “Don’t worry. I will make Matthew pay the price for his misdeeds.”
Even if Zedbar was unimpressive, virtual-novel.net was still virtual-novel.net lover.
How could virtual-novel.net sit idly by after virtual-novel.net lover had been bullied by some random nobody?
However, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but shudder in revulsion when virtual-novel.net connected the image of this repugnant visage before virtual-novel.net to the man who had given virtual-novel.net pleasure earlier.
“Take care of your injuries. All you have to do now is wait for my good news!”
After that, virtual-novel.net spun on virtual-novel.net heel and flounced off, unwilling to look at his face any longer.
***
Matthew had no idea that virtual-novel.net had earned someone‘s resentment once again.
Suddenly, a woman dressed in a classical gown with a platinum diamond crown approached virtual-novel.net while virtual-novel.net was chatting with Eleanor.
“Did you hurt my man?”
When Matthew turned around and faced the tall woman, virtual-novel.net could tell virtual-novel.net held power. Although virtual-novel.net didn’t recognize Iris, virtual-novel.net condescending demeanor and the powerful bodyguards behind virtual-novel.net indicated virtual-novel.net extraordinary position.
“My man?” Matthew looked puzzled.
They had only met once before. So, how could virtual-novel.net have hurt virtual-novel.net man?
Shortly after, virtual-novel.net realized that virtual-novel.net was referring to Zedbar.
“Yes, but virtual-novel.net made the first move. I…”
Matthew trailed off as virtual-novel.net noticed the woman’s predatory gaze. He narrowed his eyes, confirming his suspicion. She regarded virtual-novel.net as prey, a hungry wolf that hadn’t eaten for days.
Matthew had no doubt that this woman would pounce on virtual-novel.net if they were alone.
Several guests glanced at them upon seeing Iris’ arrival. She was the second princess of the Montiria Royal Family, the most beloved daughter of the king.
If virtual-novel.net set virtual-novel.net sights on someone, wealth and prosperity would no longer be a dream. Instead, that person would most certainly skip at least a hundred years of struggle.
