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

A powerful poison could even work on gods.

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 constitution and when she was hit 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 wouldve been impossible to save First Princess Stephanie.

But Roland, a Mage who wasnt even specialized in conjuration, was able to pull her back from hell, 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 Stephanies life.

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

But she hadnt 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 wasnt 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 fathers three most powerful men, right? Isnt 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 dont think its likely. I know my fathers personality very well. Hes not a qualified king, but hes 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. Im 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, hes just biased.

So thats 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, Its not hard to take you to the palace, but I still think its better not to go. Biden escaped, and hes 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-shes good at killing, not at protecting people. I cant protect you either, its only pure luck that you survived this time.

So what should we do?

Lets find a safe place to get well first, Roland said after a moments thought. Youve been poisoned, and if you dont show up for a long time, Biden will most likely think youre dead, and then well watch the situation from the dark. Besides, youll have to get your leg healed first.

Good point. Stephanie sighed. I wish Id always had reliable assistants like you and Andonara around me.

Roland smiled, not following up with anything.

Andonara wouldnt 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 lifes journey was the difference between a fireflys 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?

Cant we hide here? Stephanie knew it was a makeshift 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 dont think anyone would just investigate underground. This is under the road in front of your manor, so its 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 space needs to be considered, otherwise you will be depressed if you live underground all the time. Although I can expand this space, I also have to consider the washing, 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 god, and she still needed to eat, drink, and defecate.

Then she clapped her hands. Why dont 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 passing 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.

It was quite safe, and no one usually came down here at random.
