The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 369

369.Chapter 369

Zoe died shortly after Sophie was born. With no one to teach Sophie, she had still managed to figure it out on her own.

It seemed the girl they all thought was a fool wasn’t entirely useless after all. If anything, this only further proved she was undoubtedly one of the Case family.

“We need to find a way to keep Benedict alive, Lucas said

If Sophie couldn’t die, then Gabriel’s heir couldn’t die either.

“Get nd of these flowers. No one outside can know about this.”

Bloodshade Blossoms were sacred to their clan. Few in Bortenland knew this, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

If that Regent caught wind of this, it would spell real trouble.

“What did the physician Gabriel bring in earlier say about fixing this?” Lucas asked

Lucas had already sent people to investigate as soon as he learned of the mess Sophie had caused.

The female subordinate quickly replied, “The physician said the poison can’t be cured for now, but its effects can be delayed.”

She listed the three ingredients Chad had mentioned to Gabriel and Matthew.

When the male subordinate heard “Bloodshade Blossom,” his eyes lit up. “Mr. Carter, aren’t these Bloodshade Blossoms? Why not just hand them over to the Duke?”

“You idiot!” Lucas snapped. “These three are completely toxic now! How could they be used as medicine? Do you want Benedict to die even faster?”

Lucas frowned. The imperial physician’s mention of Bloodshade Blossoms only confirmed that his earlier suspicions were tunfounded.

The physician must have only heard rumors and didn’t actually know what a Bloodshade Blossom looked like. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left these three toxic ones behind, nor suggested using Bloodshade Blossoms to counteract the poison of these toxic flowers.

“If these toxic Bloodshade Blossoms were cultivated by Sophie, then she must have more of them. Why not just ask her directly?”

“No.” Lucas was certain Sophie had what they needed, but using the solution right in front of him was out of the question. We can’t give them the Bloodshade Blossom.”

The female subordinate, quicker on the uptake than her male counterpart, interjected, “Didn’t Mr. Carter just say we can’t let outsiders discover our clan’s Sacred Flowers? If you use the Bloodshade Blossom, forget the Lord Mowbay–Chad will deduce the moment he sees it,”

“Right, so the Sacred Flowers are off the table.” The male subordinate finally caught on, though his frustration was evident. But what about the Snow Lotus or the Purple Shroom? We didn’t have those either”

After all, the Snow Lotus gifted to the king of Bortenland had originally belonged to them.

There was only one, and now it was in the king’s hands.

“Sophie really messed things up for us. If we’d known earlier, the Snow Lotus wouldn’t have been sent aw

“Let’s wait and see. Lord Mowbay will definitely try his luck with the Empress Dowager. If he manages to get the Purple Shroom, that would be ideal. If not. A dangerous glint flashed in Lucas’s eyes.
