Chapter 510 - No One Understands Emotions Better Than I Do (1/2)

In this world of magic, things like poison could be added to a spell’s characteristics.

A powerful poison could even work on G.o.ds.

However, it was still influenced by intensity.

But again, it was pointless to talk about the power of the poison without dosage.

A level-four Warrior had a decent const.i.tution and when she was. .h.i.t by the poison on the flying dagger, she went into shock in less than five seconds, so one could imagine how strong the poison was.

Normally, without a Legendary Priest, it would’ve been impossible to save First Princess Stephanie.

But Roland, a Mage who wasn’t even specialized in conjuration, was able to pull her back from h.e.l.l, an absolute miracle.

This was why high-level Dual Casting was so powerful

Normal Dual Casting was using the same spell with the left and right hand.

High-level Dual Casting was the use of different spells with both hands, which required quite a high level of mental and magic control from the spellcaster.

Roland suppressed the toxicity with one hand, increased her health with Healing with the other hand, and saved Stephanie’s life.

The moment Stephanie was poisoned, she knew she would probably die.

But she hadn’t expected that she would live, and get away with a severed leg.

With Divine Healing, it was only a matter of time before a severed limb regenerated, so it wasn’t a big deal.

The question was why Biden wanted to kill her.

Stephanie was puzzled. She leaned against the stone wall and thought for a moment and asked, “Roland, can you take me to the palace?”

Roland was a little surprised. “Are you sure? I remember you said that Biden was one of your father’s three most powerful men, right? Isn’t going to the palace a death sentence?”

Andonara also nodded; she thought Roland made a good point.

Stephanie was very weak. She leaned against the wall and hesitated for a moment before saying, “I thought about it for a while just now and I don’t think it’s likely. I know my father’s personality very well. He’s not a qualified king, but he’s a very qualified father. To prevent his children from killing each other over the throne, he ordered all the princes and princesses over ten years old who are not very capable to go to his remote territory. I’m the only direct descendant of the royal family in the capital.”

Roland was stunned. No wonder he felt something was off during his time in the capital.

The only young member of the royal family he had seen in all this time was Stephanie, making him think that the royal bloodline was thin and Stephanie was the only option.

Puzzled, Andonara said, “It just means he loves you more, he’s just biased.”

“Father spends about half a year every two years cruising around the empire in a flying s.h.i.+p, monitoring the lords on the surface, but in fact, it’s clear to anyone who cares that he only takes time to go to different territories to see his children, secretly giving gold coins to his children so that they’re better off. Monitoring the lords is only incidental.”

So that’s how it is.

“How could a father who loves his children so much just send someone to kill them? Nor would he just send someone to kill his lover.’ Stephanie felt weak throughout her body. Her voice trembled and wavered. “I was just too surprised to think of that at the time.”

Roland thought for a moment and said, “It’s not hard to take you to the palace, but I still think it’s better not to go. Biden escaped, and he’s sure to try to ambush you again, and if you dare to show up, you will surely be attacked as before. Andonara is a Great Swordsman, not a defensive Warrior-she’s good at killing, not at protecting people. I can’t protect you either, it’s only pure luck that you survived this time.”

“So what should we do?”

“Let’s find a safe place to get well first,” Roland said after a moment’s thought. “You’ve been poisoned, and if you don’t show up for a long time, Biden will most likely think you’re dead, and then we’ll watch the situation from the dark. Besides, you’ll have to get your leg healed first.”

“Good point.” Stephanie sighed. “I wish I’d always had reliable a.s.sistants like you and Andonara around me.”

Roland smiled, not following up with anything.

Andonara wouldn’t agree to anything either, and in her eyes, Stephanie was indeed a good friend, but compared to Roland, the significance of these two in her life’s journey was the difference between a firefly’s glow and moonlight.

Seeing that neither Roland nor Andonara answered, Stephanie was slightly disappointed.

The silence lasted less than ten seconds before Roland spoke up. “First Princess, where do you think it would be better for us to hide?”

“Can’t we hide here?” Stephanie knew it was a makes.h.i.+ft hole in the ground, and though it was a cramped cavern, the fact that she had two people she could trust with her made her feel quite secure. “I don’t think anyone would just investigate underground.” “This is under the road in front of your manor, so it’s okay to hide for a short time, but in the long term, you have to consider a lot of things,” Roland explained. “Such as safety, and for long-duration hiding, the size of the s.p.a.ce needs to be considered, otherwise you will be depressed if you live underground all the time. Although I can expand this s.p.a.ce, I also have to consider the was.h.i.+ng, rest, and physical excretion of you two women.”

With that said, Stephanie understood, and she blushed a little.

No matter how beautiful a woman was, she was still a woman, not a G.o.d, and she still needed to eat, drink, and defecate.

Then she clapped her hands. “Why don’t you build the tunnel under my library, Mr. Roland? To study and do magic experiments there for long periods, my ex-husband spent a great deal of effort on the library. There is a washroom there that leads to small underground water veins pa.s.sing underneath it.”

Roland nodded. Roland had also used the washroom in the library, and it was indeed nice.

Moreover, the library was large enough that one could even run around the edges for exercise, a lap estimated to be about 300 meters.

The iron gate here was protected by magic and one could only get in with a key.
