Penny stormed in and saw that Lisandra''s curtain had been lifted. Her face darkened, and she immediately snapped at Yuna, "How dare you?! How could you let a man from outside see Her Highness'' sleeping form?" She moved to step forward and pull the curtain down, intending to have Sebastian thrown out.
However, Yuna blocked her path. "Since she''s already been seen, it''s better to let the physician diagnose her properly."Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Though Yuna was of lower rank and status than Penny, she hesitated only briefly before responding firmly, "Nothing is more important than Her Highness'' health. She''s been unconscious for more than four hours. If we don''t find the cause soon, it may do serious harm to her."
Penny''s eyes widened in fury. "Yuna Rutherford! How dare you?!"
The other female official, Yasmine, stepped forward to support Yuna. "Since they''re already here, let them take a look. What''s the harm? Why are you so against it? You''ve been opposing everything seems to me you don''t care much about Her Highness." Penny red at her. "Stop spouting nonsense! When have I ever not cared for Her Highness? The people of Starhaven are deceitful and malicious. Have you forgotten about the massacre of the vigers? How can we trust them?"
Winona was listening to the exchange, and she quickly fired back in Westic, "It was Aurora Yates who did the massacre. You can''t me all of Starhaven for it. Your Westhaven spies ughtered the entire Sinir family. Does that mean all of you are bad people too?" Garrick stepped in and said, "Enough, all of you! This is not the time for fighting. Her Highness'' health is what matters most. Even Mr. Glover couldn''t determine what caused Her Highness to fall into a frenzy and lose consciousness. Let Mr. Dalton do his diagnosis." us nodded in agreement. "Right. They''ve alreadye in, and Mr. Dalton has already checked Her Highness'' heart rate. First, we need to rule out poisoning."
"Her Highness has not been poisoned," Javier spoke up.
Penny stared at Sebastian, her brows furrowed. She knew she couldn''t stop them now. If Javier had said there was no poison, then there was no poison. Carissa and Violet, unable to understand thenguage, exchanged a look. Since they were already inside, they might as well see what happened next. After diagnosing and observing Lisandra''s condition, Sebastian called Winona over to trante. He had questions for Javier.
"Were there any symptoms before she lost consciousness?" Sebastian asked.
Winona tranted the question, and Javier quickly exined the general situation. Winona then ryed the information to Sebastian.
"Grand Princess Lisandra has
always suffered from headaches,
which have been more frequent over
the past year. She had a few
episodes on the way to Starhaven as well the symptoms usually consist of severe headaches and vomiting.
"But this time, after returning from the Diplomatic Affairs Department, she went into a frenzy and bit people. I seemed as if she lost control and she was extraordinarily strong. After biting someone she was subdued and then passed out. She hasn''t woken up since."
Javier showed Lisandra''s medical records for the past two months to Sebastian. There hadn''t been much change-she was dealing with chronic stress, heightened irritability, and an overall imbnce in her health.
Winona tranted this part to
Sebastian, saying, "Grand Princess Lisandra has always had a weak constitution, with an overall imbnce in her health. In thest few years, she''s been burdened by her duties at court and has suffered a great emotional blow, which has caused both her physd mental state to deteriorate, worsening her pain."
When Winona ryed this, both Carissa and Violet understood that the "great emotional blow" referred to Arthur''s death.
After hearing this, Sebastian remained silent. He put down the medical records and started checking on Lisandra again.
Watching him check the grand princess again, Penny couldn''t contain herself and said, "You''re still checking her heart rate? Are you trying to live up to your reputation as a renowned physician?"
Penny spoke in Stellish, so Sebastian understood every word.
He looked up at her, his gaze steady and calm. "I''ve already diagnosed her. I''m just verifying the results to be thorough."
Penny red at him. "Mr. Glover already told you everything you need to know, so of course you''ve got a diagnosis."
Sebastian huffed. "What he said is mostly correct, but not entirely. Grand Princess Lisandra can be considered as having been poisoned."
"That''s nonsense!" Penny yelled.
Her face turned pale, and she rushed forward as if to shove Sebastian aside. Violet quickly stepped in to block her. Having heard enough of Penny''s interference, she realized that Penny was the one Travis had warned them about. She grabbed Penny firmly and barked, "Shut up and let Sebastian finish!"
Before Sebastian could speak, Javier interjected, "That''s impossible! There are no signs of poisoning at all. What do you mean that Her Highness can be considered as having been poisoned?"
