If the story got out, her reputation as the Empress would be ruined.
Ambrose laughed in his heart. 'What an interesting person! How could she still think about her image at a time like this?'
Ambrose nodded and continued to detoxify the toxins in Quincy's body.
For a moment, the two of them sat in complete silence.
If an outsider were present, they would be astonished and might think otherwise. Quincy genuinely sought a man to help her cleanse the poison in her body as the dignified empress of South Cloud. Furthermore, the robe stuck to her alluring body due to sweat made her look more beautiful.
Quincy was shy, but she did not have a choice. The Joyous Lust Pill's poison was too strong, and she needed Ambrose's help to eliminate it.
After a short silence, footsteps were heard from the outside.
Quincy and Ambrose were both startled when they heard the noise.
It was the critical moment to remove the poison. If someone went there to disturb them, all their efforts would have been wasted. Furthermore, others could not witness the two's posture because it would cause a colossal misunderstanding.
Quincy was extremely nervous.
Ambrose was in a hurry. He waved his hand and hung a piece of rag at the door to cover the situation in the room. He had shattered the door when he killed Diego, so he could only replace it with a piece of cloth for the time being.
The footsteps stopped at the door. Then, a cold and arrogant voice sounded, "Is there anyone inside?"
He noticed an armored general with three feathers on his helmet in the moonlight. He appeared to be in a powerful position.
It was Zack, the South Cloud World's general.
Zack had gone to Dragon King Island with Quincy the day before. Quincy had been severely injured before she sank into the sea. Hundreds of thousands of South Cloud World's soldiers fled in all directions.
