With a "whoosh," he drew his knight's sword from his waist.
Li Aili felt a chill sweep over her as Balk, his eyes bloodshot, placed his knight's sword against her neck.
Li Aili subconsciously turned her head to look at Arthur Cold Jade.
I wonder if she was just imagining things because she was scared.
In that instant, she seemed to see Arthur Cold Emerald's icy blue eyes transform into the vertical pupils that only snakes and lizards possess.
Then, the knight's sword slid down lightly, leaving only a faint red mark on her neck.
Meanwhile, Balk himself inexplicably knelt on the ground, clutching his head in anguish.
Arthur Cold Jade walked over step by step, and with a flick of his toe, the knight's sword that had fallen to the ground was picked up and placed in his hand.
He rested his hands on the hilt of his sword and said in a deep voice to the dazed Li Aili, "What are you waiting for?"
Li Aili couldn't believe why this guy was standing behind her with a sword in his hand.
She reached out and pried open Edward's jaw, then poured the medicine down his throat all at once.
"Glug, glug," the red potion was poured into Edward Martin's stomach.
The knights instinctively held their breath, watching Edward's condition.
The medicine bottle was empty, and Li Aili held her breath, carefully observing Edward's condition.
Arthur Cold Jade raised his knight's sword, which gleamed with a cold light.
Li Aili subconsciously closed her eyes.
She felt a cold wind brush against her cheek, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that the bandage on Edward Martin's hand had been cut off.
The hand that should have been severely burned miraculously healed.
The baby-soft, pink skin made the knights in the room stare wide-eyed.
"This, this is simply a miracle..." a Grand Knight muttered to himself.
“Go and see if his wife’s soul has been taken by the devil,” Arthur Cold Jade said calmly.
A high knight commander hurriedly ran out.
Li Aili's heart was pounding like a drum, 'thump thump thump'.
[You healed Edward Martin, the Grand Knight Commander of the Cold Emerald Knights, in full view of everyone, and gained 26 points of Good Reputation.]
It's safe!
Li Aili finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her heartbeat gradually calmed down.
Joanna was unharmed, and when she rushed into the bedroom, Edward Martin on the bed happened to be sitting up in a daze.
Joanna, like a fledgling returning to its nest, buried her face in her husband's arms and wept bitterly.
Li Aili tactfully left the room and boarded the carriage back to the Duke's mansion.
There was no way around it; she was too eager to see the back garden of the Alchemy House. Her mind was restless, and she wished she could teleport back to Constantinople immediately.
In the carriage, Arthur Cold Jade, sitting opposite her, kept watching her.
Having finally reached the end, Li Aili, who was eager to get off the carriage, almost tripped and fell off.
Fortunately, a pair of large hands firmly grasped her arm and pulled her back slightly.
Li Ai Li leaned back and crashed directly into the Duke's hard, broad chest.
Then, she smelled the fragrance of marigolds, and heard the man's gentle, deep voice in her ear, "Be careful, darling."
Li Aili: "..."
Once Li Aili had regained her footing, the man calmly released his grip. "Would you have the honor of inviting this beautiful lady to dinner?"
The Duke changed the subject, "Let's talk about the deal you mentioned earlier."
