Chapter 210 - The Queen Is Poisoned?

The Queen started laughing because of the little girl. She seemed all serious and moody at first glance, but after laughing, she seemed no different than Elina, Rex's mother.

"Um, why is she laughing…?", the girl asked in a low voice to Rex.

"Because you did the wrong greeting…", he said.

She almost immediately got up and said, "But I did the same thing that you did, mister."

Rex then said, "Haha, this is for boys."

"As for girls, you need to do this.", he walked towards her side and while slowly lifting her torn skirt, showed her how to do it.

The Queen chuckled when she saw this.

Of course, she couldn't see Rex's face yet, in fact, none of the guards nor the leader of the guards had seen his face yet.

The same was true for the little girl and Dan. None of them had seen his face yet since he had covered it with the robe which was long enough.

"Your Highness, I will be checking the princess' condition, if it's fine with you.", Rex said after a few seconds.

The Queen didn't stop him and allowed him by nodding his head.

Rex walked slowly but steadily towards the princess who was lying on the bed.

There were deep dark circles under her eyes. Her skin seemed a bit dry too and her condition was by no means good.

The little girl too walked and was surprised by her condition. She never imagined her condition to be so bad either.

Rex pulled her high hand and checked her pulse.

He then used magic to activate the golden glow in his eyes and checked her stats to be sure if she really was immune to all sorts of poisons and yes, the info was right.

She was indeed immune to the poison. But not only that, her body did treat everything that she ate as poison as well due to which her body hardly had any energy left.

He then started transferring his mana inside her.

The mana slowly started to spread inside her body and started to circulate when suddenly, she started coughing blood.

*cough cough*

The little girl was surprised because of this. Even the Queen was surprised by this.

She thought that Rex was doing something wrong so she raised her voice, "What are you doing?"

"Why does her health seem to deteriorate?"

"Why did she cough blood?"

She was a mother, after all, so she would obviously worry for her child. She even thought for a split second that Rex was an enemy who was deliberately causing her more pain.

She was soon going to attack when Rex replied and said, "Just a minute, this is necessary for the procedure."

"I need to first figure out why her body is rejecting food as well because unless the food is harming her and behaving like poison, the body shouldn't do this.", he said.

Upon hearing him, she started to think about it because what he said was indeed true.

'Hmm, her body isn't rejected my mana…'

'While it is true that mana is a form of energy, everyone's mana is somewhat different in nature so her body should have rejected it the moment I tried putting it inside her…', Rex thought.

'Hmm, now I doubt, is her body really rejecting food because it is external or is it because the food is constantly being mixed with poison?', this was something Rex concluded after thinking for a while.

He then stared at the Queen and asked directly, "Your Highness, just who is poisoning her food?"

Dan who was still using his stealth skill, was shocked when Rex asked this.

It was as if he was suspecting the Queen, he didn't even try to hide that.

"Eh?"

"Poisoning her food?", The Queen got startled when Rex asked the question.

'Hmm…'

'Is she surprised because she found out that poison is being mixed or is it because I found out about it?', Rex asked himself.

'Weird…'

'How did this little girl survive for such long without any food?'

'I'm pretty sure that she hasn't eaten anything for 2 years now.'

'The only thing that she has been living on is water and…'

'And what!?'

'What is this? I feel some other form of energy as well…'

Rex was taken aback by surprise.

He couldn't believe what she felt. He then almost immediately turned towards the Queen and started marching.

"Uh…", she was startled when she found him walking towards him all of a sudden.

'Wait, why are you walking towards her?'

'Do you really believe that she poisoned her own daughter?', Dan asked Rex via telepathy.

But Rex didn't reply. He kept walking and on coming close to the Queen, he pulled her left arm.

"Eh?"

He then placed two of his fingers on her veins and sent some of his mana inside her to analyze her.

'Ah…'

'I knew it…'

"Your Highness, forgive me for being so rude.", Rex stepped while stepping back after a few seconds.

"I think I now know what is wrong with the first princess.", Rex said politely.

"Ah!"

"Then what is it?", she asked.

"Your Highness, she really does possess a body that can resist and reject all sorts of poison…", Rex said.

This was something that they knew, so they waited for him to continue.

"But your highness, you do not possess such a body.", he said.

"Eh?", the Queen was weirded out when he said that.

This too was common knowledge so why would he say that? Dan was confused as well.

"Yea, I know that, but why would you tell me that?", she asked.

"It's because, your highness, you have been poisoned.", he said.

"…"

"Ha!?", she raised her voice all of a sudden when she heard this.

Dan too was surprised by what he said and ended up asking, "What do you mean by that?"

This startled both, the Queen and the little girl.

'Sigh, I told him to be quiet, but he cannot control himself…', and just as Rex had thought this much, Dan ended the use of his stealth magic and appeared out of nowhere.
