The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven) novel Chapter 403

Chapter 403 Her Highness Lola Arrives

In that moment, every pair of eyes in the room had changed.

Almost every doctor had come to the same shocking realization that Raven’s medical skills… might truly surpass Dr. Kidman’s.

Rupert, struck by that realization, nearly fell to his knees as he scrambled to Raven’s side, desperation pouring from him, “Dr. Valor! Please–save the princess! I’m begging you!”

Raven looked down at him with a calm, unreadable expression. “You chose him over me,” she said flatly. “Now you want me to clean up his mess?”

Rupert froze.

Then, almost impossibly, his eyes lit up with sudden joy.

He reached out to grab her sleeve, but Raven casually stepped aside.

Still, he didn’t give up. “Miss Valor, you can save her, right? You haven’t said you can’t.”

With all his years of experience reading people, Rupert was certain–if Raven had truly been powerless, she would have said so directly.

“Instead, she had only said she wouldn’t fix John’s mistake.

That meant… there was still hope.

But under Rupert’s hopeful gaze, Raven gave the princess on the bed a passing glance and said coolly, “To this point. I can’t help anymore.

“I already saved her once. I warned her. She didn’t listen.”

Though she could still save the girl, Raven had no intention of doing so. The princess had made her choice–she could suffer the consequences.

Rupert’s body stiffened at her words.

He stared at Raven, doubt creeping into his eye. “You… really have no way to help?”

Raven didn’t answer directly. She only said, “Start preparing her funeral.”

Boom!

The words hit Rupert like thunder.

Prepare her funeral?‘

“No!” he shook his head violently. “No, no!”

If the princess died, he was done for.
