Chapter 3417
Ten minutes passed very quickly, and suddenly the ceramic pot started to vibrate. All the maids cried out in
shock and promptly took a few steps backward. They thought the ceramic pot would explode but then realized
no such thing would happen and that the vibration was due to the high-temperature air currents flowing through
the pot.
Darryl smiled and opened the lid. The Queen and her maids went forward to take a better look, and the whole
room was completely silent for a second. Then, they all gasped and looked at Darryl with respect and admiration.
He had done it!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt the bottom of a pot was a round pill emitting a sweet fragrance that filled up the whole room. Yes, it was none
other than the Heart Tempering Pill.
"Your Majesty, please take this," Darryl said, offering the pill to the Queen.
The Queen ate the pill and instantly felt better. Colors returned to her cheek, making her
more beautiful than ever.
"Darren, I never would have guessed you possessed such knowledge. I've completely
recovered after taking the pill. You're truly the pride of the Golden Lion Principality!" the
Queen said gently with a smile on her face. Her eyes, however, told another different
story.
Darryl became excited at the Queen's praise and wanted to use that opportunity to ask for
the Holy Jade Scripture.
"However!" The Queen continued in a frosty tone; her face darkened just when Darryl got
carried away. "How do you plan to explain the little excursion you took with Angeline?"
Darryl was stunned and felt his heart go cold. 'Oh, no! I thought we could get away with it,
but she knew all about it all along!'
Then, he said, "Please don't be angry, Your Majesty. I took her out to cheer her up. I have
no other intention."
The Queen's beautiful face remained emotionless. "She's young and not familiar with the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmways of the world. But you should know better about how dangerous it is for her to go
outside."
Then, without missing a beat, she shouted furiously, "Guards, throw him into jail for two weeks as an example!"
That would teach him to break the rules and go behind her back. Angeline was her only family, after all. she must
punish him to let everyone know where the royal family stood in that matter.
Two guards immediately arrived to take him away.
'I haven't even gotten my hands on the Holy Jade Scripture. I have no time to stay locked up for two weeks!'
thought Darryl helplessly.
Suddenly, just as the guards were about to reach him, he thought of engineering a falling-out with the Queen but
would that not make it harder for him to look for the Holy Jade Scripture?
"Sister, no!" Princess Angeline cried out in the nick of time, she had been standing outside of the room listening
for quite some time. She could not bear to see Darryl getting punished by the Queen because of her and so
decided to reveal herself.
