As the trial commenced, Sany found herself seated at a table, surrounded by five ornate vials, each containing a deadly poison. Her heart raced as she glanced around the room, knowing that her fate hung in the balance.

The first and second prince named Arthur and Lin stood on opposite sides of the room, their expressions tense as they prepared to tackle the challenge before them. Arthur's eyes gleamed with arrogance , while Lin's gaze held a hint of contemplation.

Sany hesitated, her fingers hovering over the vials as she contemplated her next move. She knew that choosing the wrong poison could have dire consequences, but she also knew that time was of the essence.

"I hope you know what you're doing," Arthur remarked, his voice laced with skepticism.

Sany glanced at him, her jaw set in determination. "I know enough to make an educated guess," she replied cryptically, her mind racing with possibilities the only thing that sany was good beside her gentle nature was detoxifying posions back in the mortal word since she was passioned to help people but she tried to not make it obvious so to not get her identity exposed.

However sany was reluctatnt since a lot of the ingredients were never seen by her.

With a deep breath, Sany reached for one of the vials, her hand trembling slightly as she lifted it to her lips. She closed her eyes and drank, the bitter taste of the poison burning her throat as it coursed through her veins.

For a moment, there was silence as Sany waited for the effects of the poison to take hold. Then, suddenly, she felt a wave of dizziness wash over her, her vision blurring as the room spun around her.

In the depths of the underworld, where dark magic whispered in the air, Princess Sany found herself trapped in a deadly game . Five vials, each holding a lethal potion, glimmered ominously in the dim chamber.

Prince Arthur, with his icy gaze and cruel smirk, stepped forward first. "Do not fear, princess," he purred, his words dripping with malice. "I shall save you with the blood of our enemies. Their sacrifice will ensure your survival."

Sany's stomach churned at the thought of such barbarism, but she held her tongue, knowing that to betray her revulsion would be to reveal her identity too soon.

Next came Prince Lin, his eyes filled with unwavering determination. He held a vial containing a shimmering substance that seemed to radiate with otherworldly power. "This," he declared confidently, "is the essence of a celestial starflower. Its purity might hold the cure you seek."

Sany felt a glimmer of hope at Lin's words, though she knew better than to place all her trust in a demon's promise.

As Lin administered the antidote, Sany's mind raced. With a swift movement, she swapped the vials, ensuring Lin would unwittingly give her the correct antidote.

With each passing moment, the poison's grip weakened until, finally, Sanny felt its hold release her.

As the court erupted in relieved murmurs,Sany's eyes met Lin's, filled with unspoken gratitude .But their moment was short-lived.

Accusations flew as Prince Arthur pointed a trembling finger at Lin. "You used celestial magic!" he accused, his voice echoing through the chamber. "You cheated!"
