The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven) novel Chapter 401

Chapter 401 Raven’s Prophecy

Raven nodded. “It’s your body–do as you wish.”

If the princess insisted on marching to her own death, there was nothing Raven could do.

The princess, hearing Raven’s subtle tone–like she’d just made a foolish choice–visibly tensed.

But she didn’t have the strength to act. She’d have to wait until her condition improved to deal with Raven later.

They admitted Raven had accurately diagnosed several of their issues earlier.

But even so–how could her medical skills compare with Dr. Kidman, a man who stood at the pinnacle of the profession?

“It hurts!” she cried.

“Where?” John asked quickly.

“My chest–it hurts so much!” Her voice trembling from the pain.

John hesitated, glancing at the needles already embedded in her body.

“Dr. Kidman… is this normal?” Rupert asked, concern heavy in his voice.

John glanced at Raven before answering, face grave.

“Before I started, the princess was already in a dangerous state.

“Now, if I finish the last three needles, she might still survive.
