Sure enough, Duke Cold Emerald was nowhere to be seen outside, nor were the knights; all that remained was a glaring trail of blood on the ground.
The butler came out with several male servants carrying buckets of water. Soon, the bloodstain disappeared.
Li Aili crawled back into bed, took out the [healing potion] she had made yesterday, and clutched it tightly.
The reason Cold Jade brought back the people from the Papacy was definitely to treat the knights' injuries.
If those priests from the Holy See agree... then wouldn't her healing potion be wasted?
what to do?
What should she do?
Without reputation, the depleted backyard will completely cripple the alchemy shop.
As lunchtime approached, Li Aili overheard several male servants chatting idly in a corner on her way downstairs.
"...The food was sent to the dark cell below."
"...The situation is not optimistic. I heard that those people haven't given in yet."

As expected, the back garden yielded nothing today.
Li Aili stared blankly at the bare back garden. Seeing that it was almost time, she got up and left the Alchemy House.
Sure enough, when they came out, they "harvested" a duke who was on the verge of exploding.
“You’d better have a better excuse,” said Arthur Cold Jade, the sword he had used that morning to kill the missionary hanging at his waist.
Li Aili took a deep breath and took out the [Healing Potion] whose neck had become slightly warm from being gripped so tightly.
"This is a [Healing Potion] that can heal your knight. How about we make a deal?"
