Chapter 177: Speechless
Hodwen’s face looked extremely unpleasant, but at this moment, he absolutely could not admit to anything. Once he admitted to this matter, it would truly be the end.
So now, no matter what, he had to cover it up. The matters of the antidote and side effects could be resolved slowly later. Otherwise, there wouldn’t even be a chance to resolve them.
“Privately investigating other territories isn’t a very good behavior,” Hodwen said.
“What’s not good about it?” Mephilia asked in return. She had been bottling up anger for a long time as these people tried to bully Liana. “Isn’t observing whether other territories have problems something we should do as heirs?
“Would you relax your care and management of a region just because that region has some dissatisfaction with you? After this incident, I specifically sent a batch of priests to provide support. Lord Darriss should remember this, right?” Mephilia asked.
Although what Mephilia said sounded somewhat domineering, wasn’t this the reality? You’re under the protection of the Lisat Kingdom, so you must accept the management of the kingdom. Moreover, Mephilia was helping you.
Of course, if you’re doing something shady, you would indeed be afraid.
“...Indeed, that happened,” Lord Darriss’ face didn’t look much better, because...
“But I remember that when the medical team arrived at the Darriss Territory, they were forbidden from entering,” Mephilia continued. “At that time, I thought Lord Darriss already had a solution and didn’t want outside help. But thinking carefully now, it seems quite intriguing?”
Worthy of Mephilia—even without Liana asking for help, she could provide assistance. Liana really wanted to pick her up and kiss her.
Though it seemed like she would be the one being picked up.
Lord Darriss didn’t speak, only visibly gloomy. He needed Crown Prince Hodwen to give him a reasonable explanation.
