Chapter 404 Is Killing You An Honor Too?
As soon as the announcement was heard, everyone in the room instinctively turned toward the sound.
Moments later, a group of over a dozen soldiers in the Sunset Empire’s military uniforms entered the room.
At the front of the group was a striking young woman, around twenty–five or twenty–six, with delicate features and a cold, refined air. She wore a fitted white combat uniform, her presence sharp and commanding.
The moment Raven laid eyes on her, the cold in her gaze seemed to plummet even further.
She could feel it–the aura of Zach’s Innate Starcard coming from this woman!
“Beside her, however, Hiemaly let out a faint breath of relief.
He didn’t know why, but Saxon and their little boss hadn’t come along with Lola from the airport.”
Saxon was whatever.
The good part was the little boss didn’t follow.
Even the icy edge of Hiemaly’s face seemed to soften ever so slightly.
What he didn’t know was that Lola had rushed ahead after hearing the news of the princess’s critical condition.
At that very moment, Saxon was escorting a regal and cold–tempered little boy through the royal palace’s main gate- heading straight for them.
“Welcome, Your Highness!”
As Raven locked eyes with Lola, Rupert quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
The rest of the doctors, including John, all bowed in unison. “Your Highness.”
Lola walked forward with a calm stride, her eyes indifferent as she swept a glance over the kneeling crowd.
She was just about to tell them to rise when her gaze suddenly fell upon Raven and Hiemaly.
She didn’t recognize them–but in the midst of all those bowing figures, the two of them stood out like a sore thumb.
She narrowed her eyes and furrowed her brow slightly.
Before she could speak, a middle–aged officer behind her stepped forward and barked coldly, “You two–why haven’t you bowed before Her Highness?”
The doctors, still bowing, all stole glances at Raven and Hiemaly.
When they saw the two of them still standing, their faces showed clear disapproval.
Lola wasn’t just a princess–she had awakened an Innate Starcard, and had even earned the support of the Star God Association’s President.
Raven might be a talented doctor, but no amount of medical skill could compare to someone like Lola.
Among them, Ellie’s gaze gleamed with barely hidden glee.
She’d been wondering how to strike back at Raven, but now it seemed she didn’t need to lift a finger.
Raven would die a miserable death for disrespecting Lola.
But Lola merely frowned and didn’t pursue it further. She knew the princess’s condition was urgent–there was no time to
dwell on matters of etiquette.
She turned to Rupert and asked, “How is the princess?”
Rupert quickly replied, “Not well. Only Miss Valor here can treat her–but she refuses. If Your Highness could speak on our behalf, perhaps she would reconsider and save the princess.”
Lola glanced at Raven, her brows furrowing even more deeply. “So many doctors here–and only she can help?”
Rupert nodded firmly. “The Nine Meridians Technique Miss Valor uses is a medical masterpiece. Right now, onl save the princess.”
Le can
Lola’s expression grew even colder as she look successfully unlocked! at the princess is an honor. Why would you
refuse?”
Raven heard the lofty tone in Lola’s voice–and laughed. “An honor?”
She lifted her gaze, her voice icy despite the smile on her lips, and stared straight at Lola. “If saving your princess is an honor. I suppose it’s also an honor, to kill you!”
