The System POV:
I transformed myself into the host, wore the same as the Host, and even had the same smell as the Host.
Swoosh!
The Host has never met with the princess in her royal palace so, it might be a little trouble for him, later on, as, I am going to meet her instead of him.
I walked right through the front gate in between the guards as I am not some cheap person to go from back doors and stuff.
After that, I walked for a minute or so, until I finally arrived at Princess's residence.
For a princess, she is a strange one as she doesn't have any servants under her.
Her residence was even more strange as it was only a room and a large bed,
"Hmm? Why are you here? " she asked with narrow eyes while looking at me from top to bottom while she got up from her bed and walked towards me.
" Why can't I come here? " I responded as the host would have responded with full confidence asserting dominance over others.
" hm! " She showed a slightly surprised look as she hummed, and with that, she waved her hand around the space.
And the scenery changed... This is the strange thing, I was talking about.
It had a pretty strong space aura.
" So? May I know, why the young master has arrived here? " she asked while a table was set in front of me with a strong aroma of tea.
I don't know if she was testing me or what. Because, I could easily sense the strong poison in the tea.
But, she looks really calm but her eyes...it doesn't shine like previously.
Back then, her rose eyes would have a unique separate glow every time she looked at the host, but, now it was gone.
Was those eyes an act? Not being able to read her mind is really unfortunate for me, I can even read Host's mind but not hers.
What is so special about her? She has attracted my attention more than the Host.
Hmm? Does she not know that this is lethal poison with no cure?
I mean this shit has a cure but it's not available in this world, it's a star poison capable of killing even immortals within a minute.
And nope! You can't revive yourself as this poison can exhaust the Qi and Soul.
With that, she slowly put the Teacup in her mouth.
I had checked her storage ring and nope, she doesn't have a cure at all, if she drinks it, she will die a brutal death.
Well, not really since, I can cure her but the cost would be 20,000 points.
I didn't know what to do, I mean, I didn't want my Host's wife to die, so, I acted in a rush and pulled the cup from her hand and threw it away.
Clangggg!
Tingggg!
The cup collides with the floor and crashes into 86 pieces.
" With that, I can conclude you don't wish to harm me or you have any ill intention,"
Hearing her statement, sent chills down my core.
Keke!
Am I trembling? Am I scared? Or Am I excited?
When was the last time I felt this sensation?
Ah! It was when I first heard the voice of the Author.
" Haha! You are truly sharp, putting your own life on the line to test someone else, but I wonder... If you had a cure," I couldn't help but ask.
" Of course, even if I don't have a cure, I believe you won't let me die... Digital entity aka System-Kun, "
