?Chapter 312:


    As I hurried down the corridor, something caught my eye—a faint glow on the floor. It was a strange earring. Whose could it be? And why was it here, right outside Makenna’s room?


    Without thinking, I bent down, grabbed the earring, stuffed it into my pocket, and continued carrying Makenna out of the house. As I reached the front gate, I spotted a patrol team approaching. The soldiers saw me struggling with the unconscious Makenna on my back and immediately surrounded us.


    The leader of the group frowned and demanded, “What’s going on? What happened?”


    My voice was shaky, almost incoherent. “U-upstairs… There’s a snake! My friend… She’s been poisoned!”


    The soldiers’ faces turned grim as they realized the severity of the situation. The team split into two—some soldiers rushed upstairs, while the others stayed with us, using their walkie-talkies to call for backup and leading me and Makenna to the doctor’s residence as quickly as possible.


    With the soldiers guiding us, we finally reached the doctor’s door. A momentter, the door creaked open, revealing a doctor in disheveled pajamas, her hair a mess. Clearly, she wasn’t thrilled about being woken in the middle of the night. But the instant she saw Makenna’s condition, her sleepy eyes flew wide open, and her expression turned to one of shock.


    “Hurry, get her on the bed,” the doctor ordered, her tone sharp as she immediately began examining Makenna.


    I stood to the side, nervously rubbing my hands together, recounting everything I had seen when I found her. The doctor’s frown deepened as I spoke, her face growing more serious by the second.


    “Oh no, that’s a very rare cobra. It’s one of the deadliest snakes in the world.”


    Panic gripped me. “Is there any antidote for its poison?” I asked, my voice trembling.

    The doctor let out a sigh. “Yes, but the only antidote that can cure her is in the pce.”


    “Then what are we waiting for? We have to get to the pce now!” I urged.


    The doctor’s expression turned grim as she shook her head. “It’s not that simple. The antidote is incredibly precious, heavily guarded by soldiers. And it belongs to the king”


    Alice’s POV:


    Panic surged through me. Was I to stand by and watch Makenna die?


    Clenching my jaw, I said to the doctor with resolve, “Regardless of the king’s decision, I must at least do something. Doctor, please give her some basic care to dy the venom’s effects, even if only briefly.”


    The doctor agreed and administered emergency treatment to Makenna, hoping to halt the venom’s progress temporarily.


    Leaving the doctor’s residence behind, I navigated the slippery, mud-soaked path in the heavy downpour. Though it was deep into the night and the rain pounded on me like hailstones, I barely felt it. My sole focus was on saving Makenna.


    When I arrived at Leonardo’s quarters, I was shocked to see Frank guarding the entrance tonight.


    “Please pass on my message. I need to speak with His Majesty immediately,” I demanded, my voice strained.


    I almost roared at Frank, but under the cold night sky, his gaze remained frosty. With a sneer, he dismissed me harshly without hearing my plea. “His Majesty is asleep. No disturbances are allowed. Leave now!”
