    Chapter 76 Snake

    I couldn’t tell whether I was angry or disgusted as I listened to his long speech. I was choked and speechless.Maybe in he’s eyes, I have parents like King Sauer and Igraine, and I “dirty the palace” at a young age, which is enough to prove that I am not a good person, so he speaks to me so bluntly… But, I really have a sense of shame, okay!

    I have given up hope for King Sauer, who even spares his daughter and granddaughter.Unexpectedly, his ministers were not ashamed of the king’s debauchery and blatantly made nonsense. The whole country was really rotten to the core!

    I looked at Hall speechlessly. I didn’t believe a word of his guarantee.If I really assassinate Uther, it won’t be a matter of minutes before they abandon me and run away.However, my first priority at this time is to save my life, so I can only accept it temporarily.As long as I can escape from here and tell Uther about this conspiracy, let’s see how arrogant these two bitches are!

    “Then… what is your plan?” I maintained my momentum and asked.They won’t let me just stab Uther with a knife.

    “Did the princess agree?” Hearing this, Hall’s smile became even colder. A very ominous premonition suddenly arose in my heart, and I watched him take out an exquisite and gorgeous small box from his arms.

    “This is the lipstick prepared by Sodoma’s palace pharmacist. It is not only bright in color, but also has an aphrodisiac effect.” He said: “With the princess’s beauty, applying this lipstick will definitely seduce Uther. As long as he can swallow even a little bit, the princess’s mission will be completed.”

    Hello!I have never read this plot in some stupid novel in my previous life!I remember that at that time, I scolded the author for being mentally retarded. If he applied poisonous lipstick to his lips, wouldn’t he poison himself first?And kill a shitty person!

    “If I put this kind of poison on my lips, I would be poisoned and die before I could touch Uther.” I said coldly.

    “Don’t worry, princess.” Hall took out another vial from his arms: “This is the antidote. As long as the princess takes the medicine in advance, the lipstick will not harm the princess.”

    Oh, that’s pretty much it.

    “Then, give it to me, it’s time for me to go back.” With a righteous look on my face, I stretched out my hand to he. I just wanted to grab my things quickly and leave this hellish place. Then I threw myself at Uther’s feet, crying and filing a complaint, asking he to send someone to kill these two bastards who didn’t know how to live or die…

    Hall showed a very sinister smile and walked towards me.Every time I got closer, the temperature around me dropped a little, and all the hairs on my body stood up. I forced myself to withstand the pressure and did not retreat.When he came to me, he did not hand me the two boxes, but opened the vial, poured out a pill, and put it into my white palm.

    My heart skipped a beat, and I raised my head and looked at his snake-like smile.

    “Please take the medicine, princess.” he said.

    This…this medicine…could it be…

    I shivered, my hands trembled in vain, my big blue eyes stared at him with naked fear, wanting to ask, but I didn’t dare to ask.

    Hall didn’t have to wait for me to ask.He said with a cruel joke in his tone: “I must first apologize to Her Majesty the Princess. The toxicity of this lipstick is too weird. If you want to suppress it, you can only rely on another poison. However, the princess does not need to worry too much. The toxicity of this pill will take almost ten days to take effect. So, as long as you are obedient and complete the task, I will naturally give you the antidote, and it will never hurt the princess’ life.”

    Hearing this, I felt like I was struck by five thunders.I lowered my gaze and looked at the inconspicuous pill in my hand, my mind buzzing.Although I looked like I was at a loss just now, negotiating terms with he, but now I really have poison in my hand, asking me to swallow it, and asking me to wait for my body to be gradually corroded from the inside. All my pretense of pretense is shattered.I was sweating coldly and almost out of my body – I was afraid of death, really afraid. I had experienced an unexpected death once, and I really didn’t want to try that feeling again!

    How could I be so naive?Do you think you are from time travel and treat others as fools?He dragged me into this vicious conspiracy, how could he let me go so easily?How could you not leave enough chips to threaten me!

    The calmness I had maintained was torn apart, and there was no trace of confidence in my voice. I looked at him tremblingly: “I only have… ten days…?””

    Hall underestimated me before, and I took away the initiative unexpectedly, but now, he finally put me at a disadvantage again and had it in his palm.He looked at me with great enjoyment and said, “No, the princess only has seven days at most.”

    I was shocked and pale as I listened to he speak slowly, each word increasing the torture on my spirit:

    “The lipstick’s poison will not act immediately. After Uther swallows it, it will take three days for him to die suddenly, and the cause of death cannot be found at all.Therefore, the princess can do it boldly without arousing suspicion from others.And I will give you the antidote and take you away from Gomorrah only if I confirm that Uther is really dead.”

    I finally couldn’t help it anymore, tears rolled down from my eyes, and I looked at the pills in my hand with tears in my eyes.I really wanted to throw the medicine to the ground and crush it to pieces with my feet, but I couldn’t do that. At this time, I was no different from the fish on the knife. My face was pale and full of tears, which was in sharp contrast to the strength I had pretended to be before.Hall has been staring at me closely, taking in my pitiful appearance. In just a moment, the surprise in his eyes flashed away, and then his cold eyes became deeper and deeper.

    “Is it true…it takes ten days…for the attack to occur…?”I was already scared. I asked stupid questions in vain, trying in vain to give myself some false peace of mind. But there seemed to be something in Hall’s eyes that made me even more frightened, and the smile on his lips became weird.

    “There are some people who die in eight days,” he smiled: “So, princess, it’s better to move faster.”

    Hearing this answer, my fear actually did not increase.Ten days, eight days, what’s the difference?In this situation, what other options do I have?

    Seeing the impatience on his face, I knew I couldn’t hold on any longer. Instead of him forcing the medicine into his mouth, it would be better for me to swallow it myself.I made up my mind, closed my eyes tightly, threw the medicine into my mouth, and swallowed it with difficulty.I felt the pill slide down my throat, like swallowing a poisonous snake. My legs softened and I almost fell to the ground. I couldn’t care less about showing off and started sobbing uncontrollably.In his ears, Hall’s extremely cruel laughter came:

    “Then, I will wait for the princess’ good news.I’ll send the princess out right now.”

    My mind was blank, and I heard him talking to Iglan for a few words, and asked her to hide for a while before going out.Then he cut the rope that tied my dog. The dog was frightened. As soon as he was let go, he quickly ran out of the door and disappeared without a trace.And I was half-carried and half-sent away by Hall, and finally left this terrifying room.

    Walking again in the corridor of interlaced light and shadow, my state of mind also flickered between light and shadow, and I didn’t know what to do.My breath was short of breath from nervousness and I couldn’t stop sobbing.In the silent corridor, the sound was particularly loud.Hall was following behind me, his footsteps were meticulous and ruthless and ruthless only for soldiers.For me at this time, this corridor was terrifyingly long, and it seemed that it would never end.When I finally saw the arch at the end, it felt like I was looking up from hell and seeing a glimmer of light.

    I almost ran out, but behind me, the frightening voice sounded again:

    “Did the princess forget something?”

    I shuddered and turned around stiffly, and saw Hall holding the exquisite lipstick box in his hand, handing it to me with a smile.

    I had to reach out to pick it up, and just when I was about to grab the box, my wrist was suddenly caught by he.I was shocked, and was pulled back by he. He pushed my body, forcing my back to the wall, and he pressed over, locking me between his arms.

    “This color is very bright, don’t you want to try it right away, princess?””He lowered his head, smiled so hard that I was scared, and whispered to me above my head.
