Chapter 10: No Strangers are Allowed
The system's interface appeared in front of her. It shimmered faintly as she quickly navigated to the potions section. Her eyes scanned the list until she found the healing potion. She tapped on it, and with a confirmation, the potion materialized in her inventory.
"Here," Liora said as she pulled out the new potion and handed it to the boy and girl. "This one should definitely work. His injuries are just... a bit grave, so the he needed a boost."
They exchanged a hopeful glance before carefully administering the potion to Wie'r. Liora held her breath. Her heart was pounding in her chest. This better work, or I'm going to dismantle that system piece by piece.
Seconds ticked by, but this time, a faint color returned to Wie'r's pale face. His breathing steadied, and a soft groan escaped his lips.
"He's waking up!" the girl exclaimed. Tears of relief streamed down her face.
The boy let out a shaky laugh. His shoulders sagged with relief. "Thank you! Thank you so much!"
Liora waved her hand nonchalantly, though inside she was fuming. System, you owe me big time for this. Her heart also ache for the previous potion, which had been waisted.
The system snickered. [Oh, lighten up, Host. You saved the day and got to look like a hero. Isn't that what princesses like you love?]
Liora's eye twitched again. "Shut up before I throw your interface into the nearest zombie horde."
