The female lead is powerful, ruthless, and stunningly beautiful—she stops at nothing to get what she wants. Sheng Wu, the Ghost King sealed beneath the Abyss of Ten-Thousand Ghosts, is cruel and ...
Because of what happened that day when she entered the city gate, everyone in the Elf Kingdom now knows that Her Royal Highness the Third Princess is now able to go out normally.
And she was very close to the two new humans created by God.
When the Elf King privately asked Lumina about her relationship with the two men, she repeatedly admitted that she saved the two men. Then the Elf King not only allowed Lumina to officially appear before the people of the Elf Country, but also allowed her to enter a special magic academy to study.
Before this, Lumina had no qualifications or opportunities to formally learn magic. Everything she learned was done secretly without the queen's knowledge, so no one knew that she could use magic.
Just as if she were contacting it from the beginning.
Originally, the Queen and the eldest prince Hogami suspected that she was hiding her true strength. After finding an assassin to test her, they discovered that she really did not know magic and was seriously injured. The Elf King took it seriously and became angry, and ordered a thorough investigation. Only then did the Queen calm down a lot.
Of course, the Elf King was angry not only because Lumina was seriously injured, but also because Lucius blocked an attack for her in order to save Lumina, which directly beat Lucius to the point of vomiting blood on the spot.
This made the Elf King so nervous that he immediately took Lucius to the Tree of Life for treatment.
No matter what he thinks and what his attitude is towards Lucius, one thing is certain: Lucius must not get into trouble in the Elf Kingdom!
Otherwise, the punishment from God is not something the elves can bear!
Lumina was also seriously injured, but was sent directly to the elf pharmacist for treatment. Only Shengwu followed her. After all, in the palace, only Shengwu and Lucius would approach her.
Although elves also have the ability to heal themselves, that depends on their abilities and talents and requires a slow process. So Lumina first had the elf pharmacist stop the bleeding and check the injury, and then he took various potions and began to pour them on her injured arm.
He also held a unique blue flame and burned it on her arm.
"Um......"
Lumina lay on the bed, her whole body convulsing in pain, her left hand tightly gripping the bed board, beads of sweat continuously oozing from her fair forehead, the intense pain almost paralyzed her and made her faint.
But she knew that she couldn't faint!
So he could only bite a white rag tightly and force himself to stay awake in the numbness.
Sheng Wu stood aside and watched calmly as the elf pharmacist treated Lumina. The scene was extremely tense and depressing.
"Your Highness, Third Princess, your arm is badly torn. I need to sew it up now. Please bear with it!"
Lumina half-closed her weak yet resolute eyes, nodded slightly, and uttered a "hmm" while biting the white cloth.
Then came another long and painful suture treatment.
Although there are anesthetics, the highest purity is only 60%, which is not enough to completely block the pain.
In addition, Lumina knew the minor side effects of anesthetics, so she simply did not use them and remained awake throughout the entire process.
"Does it hurt?"
After the elf pharmacist finished and prepared to boil medicine for Lumina, Sheng Wu, who had been standing by and watching the show, suddenly came forward and asked this question with a gloating look.
Hearing this, Lumina, who was lying weakly on the bed, lazily opened her emerald green eyes. When she laughed heartily, she glared at her angrily.
"...Since you are so curious, why don't you try it and know?" She was talking without any pain in her waist!
"I don't need it."
Sheng Wu crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes lazily lowered, and she chuckled coldly, "After all, I don't have the habit of self-torture to gain sympathy."
Even if she did, it was just a pretense, like spitting blood like a tickle, after all, the pain was blocked. But Lumina was actually hit by an arrow and was surrounded, it was painful to watch.
After all, fake things can't fool the Elf King.
Hearing her say this, Lumina couldn't breathe and felt a lump in her chest. Since she was injured anyway, she decided to just go for broke and said something sarcastic.
"Really? Then you're willing to let your husband be bait."
The assassination attempt tonight was indeed arranged by the Queen, but Lumina had known that this would happen, so she planned to take advantage of the situation and let the Queen seek her own death.
The original intention was to persuade Sheng Wu to block the attack, increase the severity of the matter and provoke the wrath of the Elf King, making him angry at the Queen's self-initiative and presumptuous behavior, and fearing the Queen's power, thereby weakening or supporting the other side to compete with the Queen, and also slightly arousing the Elf King's guilt and apology towards Lumina, so as to give her more things.
Unexpectedly, when Sheng Wu heard her plan, he shook his head and refused, saying that she didn't want to get hurt for a mere guilt. The Elf King and Lumina were not worthy of it.
This made Lumina so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Of course, she didn't expect Sheng Wu to really help her, and was about to think of a second plan, but Sheng Wu turned around and told Lucius this "unworthy" idea, asking him to block the attack for Lumina.
It is called sacrificing one's life for justice and being a hero saving a beauty.
However, Lucius really agreed!
Although Lumina knew that Lucius was kind and helpful, she had never imagined that he would be so righteous! After all, she didn't think that her previous bad attitude towards him would make Lucius do this.
Although the effect of Lucius's work would be much better than that of Sheng Wu's, after all, the person the Elf King really cares about is Lucius, who has the appearance of God. The Elf King knows the importance of Lucius better than anyone else.
Since Lucius was willing, Lumina would not stop him. She knew he wouldn't die if he tried to stop him.
So the plan was set.
Look, Lumina was injured in public and everyone saw it, and Lucius was also injured and was taken to the Tree of Life for treatment by the Elf King alone.
Sheng Wu listened to her sarcasm, lazily raised his eyes to glance at the moonlight outside the window, and said with an indifferent expression.
"Someone is willing to die for me, why should I refuse?"
For some reason, these words hit Lumina's heart, who just wanted to speak out of pleasure. Her bloodshot green pupils trembled, and her expression suddenly became complicated and sour as she looked at Sheng Wu.
"What did you say to Lucius the other day? He actually started learning magic after he came back and listened to you so much."
Obviously... he never liked to come into contact with magic, and would not actively acquire any powerful power, because in his eyes, gaining power means greater destruction, and will make the person with power lose control and breed desire.
But after Lucius came back that day, he not only read the magic book with Lillian, but even tried to drink those potions to change the original physical characteristics of humans.
