Chapter 170: Even If I Have to Use My Strength
Aldrey watched as Irene took out a special box typically used for storing pills. His eyes widened as she opened it, revealing its contents. The aura and fragrance of spiritual herbs filled the air as Irene smiled, showing him a pill with four distinct colors. It radiated a rich energy and various laws of comprehension, even Aldrian’s expression shifted, surprised by the depth of energy and laws within the pill.
"This is the Four Elements Pill, crafted by Grandmaster Alchemist Marco Villares of the Alchemist Association. With how talented our son is, this is the best resource I could acquire for him," Irene said proudly.
"The Four Elements Pill, said to aid in comprehending the laws of earth, air, water, and fire? Even those at the king stage could benefit greatly from it. I heard it had already been purchased by the Loraz family in your empire. How did you obtain it?" Aldrey asked in bewilderment.
Irene wore an annoyed expression as she closed the box.
"Don’t remind me of that family. It’s true that the Loraz family obtained it, and their young master tried to curry favor with my family by gifting it to my father."
"Oh, what a magnanimous heart he has. So, what’s the catch?" Aldrey raised an eyebrow.
"You know the typical problem noblewomen face, don’t you?"
"Ah, I see. No wonder he went so far as to give you such an expensive and rare pill. So, did your heart flutter after receiving his gift?" Aldrey asked, a teasing smirk on his face.
However, he froze as the surrounding temperature dropped instantly, and Irene’s expression turned icy.
"Wait, I’m just joking—just joking!" Aldrey said, raising his hands in surrender.
"Don’t you dare doubt my loyalty, or I’ll be the one to strangle you to death." Irene said, her expression icy. Aldrey instantly hugged her tightly, filled with love.
