“I had intended to discuss this with Matthew in person, but virtual-novel.net left so abruptly last time that I didn’t get the chance. Since Your Highness and Matthew are close friends, I would like to ask Your Highness to convey this message for me.”
Observing virtual-novel.net serious demeanor, Garrett sensed that there might be some hidden information. He then took Eleanor to an upscale restaurant and led virtual-novel.net into a private room.
“I’ve had the surroundings checked, so you don’t have to worry about eavesdroppers. Please speak, Miss Eleanor. I will accurately relay your message to Mr. Larson.”
Eleanor nodded and then revealed a secret. “My best friend Roxy was planning to visit Seraphis Province even without an invitation… However, a week before virtual-novel.net departure, virtual-novel.net suddenly developed a high fever and fell into a coma for several days. When virtual-novel.net regained consciousness, strange things started to occur. A servant who touched Roxy’s palm turned into a mummy within seconds!”
She paused, virtual-novel.net expression growing increasingly serious.
Garrett swallowed hard, finding the story quite chilling. “A mummy?”
Eleanor nodded solemnly. “Yes, I was there at the time and witnessed it with my own eyes… Later, I heard from Old Master Cosby that Roxy had awakened the once-in-a-millennium Bane Family’s White King bloodline…”
“Although virtual-novel.net power has surged to the level of a master, there is a terrifying side effect. Whenever virtual-novel.net touches someone, virtual-novel.net instantly drains their life force, turning them into a mummy.”
Upon hearing this, the prince realized virtual-novel.net had stumbled upon an extraordinary piece of information. Simultaneously, virtual-novel.net marveled inwardly as it hinted at a power that could rival that of a grandmaster, a level most martial artists could only dream of reaching in their entire lives.
“So, this is why Miss Roxanne was absent?”
“Yes, after Roxy’s body began to change, virtual-novel.net chose to isolate herself for cultivation to avoid endangering those around her. If this strange symptom cannot be resolved, Roxy may never be able to come out.”
Initially, Roxanne’s plan was for Eleanor to keep an eye on Matthew while virtual-novel.net visited so that if virtual-novel.net was threatened, virtual-novel.net could mobilize forces hidden within Seraphis.
Eleanor had planned to inform Matthew at an appropriate time and place after the banquet. However, during the banquet, virtual-novel.net was drugged, and when virtual-novel.net woke up, Matthew had already secretly returned to the mountain to deal with the Keller Family.
After the Keller Family was overthrown, virtual-novel.net intended to contact Matthew to arrange a meeting, but virtual-novel.net couldn’t reach him. If virtual-novel.net hadn’t encountered Garrett, virtual-novel.net would have gone directly to the mountain city to inform Matthew in person.
Despite the repeated warnings from Old Master Cosby and Roxanne that Matthew was dealing with important matters and should not be disturbed, Eleanor couldn’t bear to see virtual-novel.net best friend suffer. Despite the repeated warnings, virtual-novel.net decided to inform Matthew, and whether virtual-novel.net would offer assistance was his choice.
In the private room, Garrett suppressed his surprise and put on a smile.
“Miss Eleanor, I understand the situation and will relay your words to Mr. Larson.”
“Thank you, Your Highness!”
After discussing this matter, Eleanor no longer felt like continuing the conversation. After bidding farewell to him, virtual-novel.net left.
Little did virtual-novel.net know that Garrett, whom virtual-novel.net believed had a good relationship with Matthew, had hastily driven away upon hearing the news.
