Chapter 408 Find An Excuse To Leave
Chapter 408 Find An Excuse To Leave
Leading the group was a woman in her late twenties, wearing a long white dress adorned with the emblem of Lunshire on her chest.
Before she approached, her voice rang out. “Who is the most skilled doctor here? If anyone cures Ms. Rickard, Lunshire will grant them anything they ask for!”
The doctors in the room were stunned, as they couldn’t believe the leader of Lunshire was ill.
As the doctors exchanged puzzled glances, a man in the uniform of the Sunset Empire’s guard rushed out from behind the woman from Lunshire.
He didn’t notice Lola, who was seriously injured and collapsed to the side with her head lowered. Instead, he stopped respectfully in front of the steward and said, “Sir, Ms. Rickard has suddenly fallen critically ill and was urgently transferred to our country by Mr. Gregg. Mr. Gregg has arranged accommodations for her outside the palace. Since many renowned doctors from around the world are gathered here, he sent me to invite some to examine her.”
Raven, who had paused due to the sudden arrival of Lunshire’s messenger, raised an eyebrow upon hearing the guard’s words.
Just a few days ago, Helena insisted on accepting the Diamond Wing gifted by a high–ranking official of the Sunset Empire. Raven had warned her that she didn’t have long to live, but Helena refused to believe her.

Originally, she had planned to alleviate Helena’s condition after returning from the Sunset Empire, in exchange for the boxes unearthed from Vyrdenia’s ancient tomb. She hadn’t expected Helena to appear in the Sunset Empire so soon.
Rupert glanced at the heavily injured Lola, then at the princess in the bed, whose condition was now uncertain. Suddenly, he became overwhelmed.
It was precisely the moment when doctors were needed the most and couldn’t spare any to treat an outsider.
Before Rupert could speak, John suddenly stepped forward and said to Aurelia, “I’m Mr. Ethan Reed’s student. Let me go and have a look.”
Jason didn’t dare treat the princess further. He figured that instead of waiting there for the princess to die and be held accountable by the royal family, it was better to find an excuse to leave.
If he managed to cure the leader of Lunshire, he would gain a powerful ally, and the Sunset Empire wouldn’t be able to
touch him.
The woman from Lunshire lit up with joy when John stepped forward.
Though she had never met him before, she had heard about Ethan and his exceptionally talented students.
She thought that with someone like that treating Helena, even if they couldn’t cure her completely, her condition would at least improve.
She nodded at John, then turned to the other doctors and asked, “Great. Anyone else willing to come with us?”
Several doctors quickly stepped forward.
“I would be honored to treat Ms. Rickard.”
“I’m happy to help as well.”
The remaining doctors glanced at the princess, whose face was already pale and lifeless, then shook their heads and also stepped forward.
In no time, every single doctor agreed to go treat Helena.
The woman from Lunshire beamed with joy and said, “Everyone, please follow me!”
Without waiting for Rupert to say anything, she turned and led the way. The doctors hurried after her.
Raven gave a look to Hiemaly, then followed along behind the group.
“Hey!” Rupert called out, lifting a hand instinctively. But none of the doctors stopped, acting as if they hadn’t even heard him.
At this point, no one could save the princess. Whoever stayed behind would take the blame, and none of the doctors could shoulder such a burden.
Lola glared venomously at Raven and Hiemaly from behind while chitching the wound left by a serpentine dart.
Successfully unlocked!
“I’ll tear these two apart!” Lola swore to herself, ber hatred Buming through the pain.
But just as she made that silent vow, Raven paused and turned her head slightly. Her icy gaze swept across Lola.
Before Hiemaly had injured Lola, Raven had secretly planted a colorless poison on her, and it was about time for it to take effect.
