Crown [2]

"Raul!"

Valerie ignored everything that was going on around her. While Ophelia tried to figure out why Lucas had betrayed them, the rest didn't care.

He was a traitor. Nothing else mattered.

Valerie tried to heal Melania in the time she had, but her power wasn't working. Originally, she left the blade inserted so Melania wouldn't bleed out, but that wasn't the decision she should have made.

She only realized it after following the path her mana took and sensing the changes in Melania's body.

Leaving Juno and the girls to guard the prison, Valerie hurriedly called Raul over.

"She's been poisoned," she said with a stern expression.

"I can't heal her with ordinary methods, and now that he's here, we can't lose any bit of our fighting power. I need you to put her in stasis."

The poison in Melania's body was made to instantly kill a dragon. It was vile poison that forced its victim to suffer pain even after death.
