The Lady Nun Vows Revenge novel Chapter 339

339.Chapter 339

Faced with the king’s sudden change in demeanor, Sophie hesitated.

She clenched her teeth slightly and turned to Gabriel. “Father…”

“Go,” Gabriel said, his voice low. “Stick to the plan. If anything happens, I’ll signal you.”

“I understand, Father.”

Sophia then replied to King Magnus, “Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I’ll inspect the medicine for you now.”

She walked over to Fletcher, who still had his head bowed. “Fletcher, could you hand me the Snow Lotus? I’d like to take a look.”

Fletcher’s face was full of despair as he passed the Snow Lotus to Sophie,

The moment Sophie saw the Snow Lotus in the wooden box, a glimmer of greed flashed in her eyes.

She thought, ‘Who would’ve thought the Henderson family had something this rare? Oh, that’s right, I remember the Snow Lotus is included in the antidote formula for controlling Gilbert and his men.

If I can get my hands on this, I might be able to trick Gilbert and the others into continuing to obey me

Lately, Sophie had noticed that Gilbert and his men were starting to be defiant.

It was probably because she hadn’t been able to produce the antidote, so they were getting restless.

Sophie sneered inwardly. ‘Fine,’ she thought. ‘Sometimes I have to offer a little reward to keep the leash tight.”

What Sophie didn’t realize was that Eliza had already tampered with the formula. Even if Sophie followed it to the letter, there was no way she could successfully create the antidote.

“Your Majesty, this flower has a crown resembling a lotus, with pure white petals and a faint fragrance that carries a slight bitterness. Although the one I’ve seen before was dried, it was almost identical to the Snow Lotus presented by Fletcher.

“Therefore, I can confidently confirm that this is indeed a genuine Snow Lotus.”

“Your Majesty…” Fletcher’s face lit up with excitement as he looked at King Magnus.

It was as if he were saying, “Your Majesty, see? My loyalty is beyond question.”

isurely

King Magnus raised an eyebrow slightly and said leisurely, “Looks like Fletcher’s eyes aren’t totally useless.”

Seated nearby, Eliza also glanced at the Snow Lotus. It was indeed genuine.

It seemed that Mary’s information was spot on.

But Eliza wondered how she could get her hands on it.

Perhaps her gaze lingered a moment too long, for King Magnus, seated on the high throne, suddenly remarked, “Holy Lady, you seem quite interested in this Snow Lotus?”

Caught off guard, Eliza paused briefly.

All eyes in the hall turned toward her, converging from every direction.

Unfazed, Eliza rose gracefully and replied, “Your Majesty has sharp eyes. Yes, I do find this Snow Lotus rather fascinating.”

“Well, that’s good. This Snow Lotus is undoubtedly a rare medicinal treasure, but it pales in comparison to the hundred–year -old Purple Shroom you gifted me earlier. That was truly exceptional. After receiving it, I passed it on to my mother, and she mentioned it worked wonders.”

Everyone thought, ‘A hundred–year–old Purple Shroom? Really?‘

Gasps rippled through the hall, the shock palpable.

While both the Purple Shroom and the Snow Lotus were considered equally precious medicinal herbs, aged medicinal herbs were on a different level.

Moreover, it was a hundred–year–old Purple Shroom. That was an unparalleled treasure.

In an instant, the way everyone looked at Eliza changed, their gazes now filled with admiration and envy.

Even after leaving the Duke’s estate, Eliza still possessed such extraordinary resources.
