"Damn..."

The few people looked at the nun who appeared with resentment on her face, but reason still allowed them to leave the area slowly.

It wasn’t because they were afraid of the nun’s identity, but because they saw the light shining from her hands.

They were just ordinary people with no chance of defeating a nun who knew spells.

Besides, they didn’t need to take such risks.

If they let this one pass, they’d always find the next.

"Are you okay?"

Seeing the thugs leaving the area, the nun also seemed relieved, letting out a sigh of relief and hiding the ring she had in her hand.

In fact, she didn’t know how to use light spells or miracles.

It turned out that this ring had the ability to emit light, which was why it could still deceive some ordinary people.

"I’m okay..." Delia felt exhausted and replied weakly, "Thank you."

Though she had escaped this disaster, she started to feel that finding Her Highness Shirley seemed impossible.

Shortly after fleeing, she encountered danger and didn’t know how much more she would have to face.

When encountering danger again, she might not always be lucky enough to have someone help her...

"Did you encounter any difficulties?"

Seeing Delia’s somber expression, the nun stepped forward and asked with concern:"My name is Eileen. I’m a nun at the convent. If you’re having any difficulties, you can tell me, and I’ll help you."

Even though Eileen said this, Delia wasn’t sure if she could tell her everything.

What should she say to get her help?

Delia was thinking about this problem, but Eileen came directly to her side with a strange smile on her face. "If it’s about that man, I can help you."

"How, how did you know?"

Delia’s heart tightened, and she became suspicious of the sudden appearance of this woman.

They shouldn’t have known each other before.

How could this woman know about her situation?

However, Eileen seemed not to hear her question and said, "It doesn’t matter; I’ll help you. As long as you give this to him to eat, all your problems will be solved..."

With that said, Eileen forced something into Delia’s hand and quickly left without waiting for her reaction.

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

As soon as she took a step forward, Andrew’s voice sounded, as if she had chosen the perfect moment for his arrival.

Delia raised her hand and looked at what Eileen had given her – it was a bottle the size of a finger, seemingly containing some kind of viscous liquid.

It was probably poison or something similar.

Strange woman, strange behavior...

Delia was a bit confused about the purpose of this nun calling herself Eileen, but judging by the current situation, it seemed that she had to do what Eileen said.

Since things would definitely go wrong if she did nothing, even if she wasn’t sure if it would work, she had to try...

"Why did you go out alone? Do you know how dangerous it is out there?"

Andrew knew very well the kind of chaos in the slums and also understood what would happen to a beautiful girl like Delia if no one protected her.

That’s why he was so anxious.

"I’m sorry..."

Having made up her mind, she quietly hid the small vial behind her back and showed an apologetic expression.

The apologetic look made it hard to stay angry with her.

"Forget it." Andrew could only say, helplessly, "We can stay here for a few more days."

Now, they would have to hide here for a few more days.

After all, Andrew used illicit means to obtain money.

If he showed his face so recklessly and lived in a good house outside, it would easily arouse suspicion.

For safety, it was better to wait until the news outside had passed.

"Let’s go back first..."

Delia followed Andrew back to the dilapidated house.

"Um, are you hungry? Would you like me to make something to eat?"

Delia asked softly, with a timid tone, as if trying to atone for her behavior now.

"You still know how to cook?"

Andrew was a bit surprised.

This girl had always ignored him before, but now she was asking to cook for him.

His thoughts wandered for a moment.

"I know a bit about cooking..."

With that said, Delia quickly went to the stove and started handling the kitchen utensils.

She wasn’t lying.

Although her three daily meals were carefully prepared by others when they were at the castle, she could also develop her own interests and hobbies when she was free and bored.

Courses like singing and dancing were mandatory, while cooking was elective.

Delia had also taken some classes.

At least, the things she made wouldn’t poison people.

Hmm...

Maybe I’ll poison someone to death today...

Soon, Delia threw the vegetables into the pan without thinking and made a mess.

The advantage of this was that it would better hide the poison she had put in the dish.

The apparently viscous poison was colorless and odorless and could be easily mixed into the dishes.

Placing the prepared mixture in front of Andrew, Delia smiled and said, "Eat."

Andrew couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed seeing the insincere and strange dishes placed before him, but he still forced himself to smile.

After all, a beautiful girl had made it for him.

Even if it was poisonous, he had to eat it!

With this thought, Andrew took a casual bite.

Hmm...

The taste is quite strange, but it doesn’t seem as unpleasant as expected.

The biggest problem seems to be that it’s a bit salty, which masks the other flavors.

Delia, on the other hand, watched Andrew and didn’t know what the specific effect of this drug would be.

But it must be extremely poisonous to the point of killing him if he ate it...

There’s no way that woman would give her a vial of chronic poison and let her slowly kill Andrew...

As he ate, Andrew frowned.

At that moment, he realized something was wrong, and his body began to react strangely.

"You?"

He looked at Delia and saw a clear expectation in her nervous eyes, as if she was waiting for such a reaction from him.

Although he still didn’t believe and understand, the facts told him that she had probably poisoned the food.

"Why!?"

Like a spark exploding, as soon as his body sensed discomfort, a strong burning sensation came from his stomach.

The intense pain spread like a venomous snake.

He tried to stand up but fell to the ground due to weakness.

What kind of poison is this?

He marveled at having just undergone a miraculous recovery and still having some resistance in his body, but the effect of this poison was so violent.

Seeing Andrew’s reaction, Delia let out a sigh of relief, so far, everything was going well.

A faint creak—

The door was gently opened, and the nun named Eileen entered.

She looked at Andrew writhing in pain on the floor with a satisfied expression on her face:"You did a great job..."
