The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255: The Cruelty Behind the Seal

"Sir Vesper," she said gently, before his thoughts spiraled any further, "you weren’t with me back then."

Salem finally stopped pacing and turned to look at her. "So ... that means we never met in your first life?" he asked.

Primrose shook her head slowly. "Back then, I didn’t have anyone who specialized in poisons. That’s why Silas was able to poison me little by little for years without anyone noticing."

Salem was stunned when he heard that Primrose had been poisoned for so long with the Virgin’s Poison. But his reaction wasn’t just from pity or sadness, it was confusion.

"Wait ... wait, are you saying that after the poison started affecting your body, you still lived for months?" He frowned deeply, clearly baffled. "That ... that shouldn’t be possible."

[She’s human,] Salem thought. [How could she survive for months after the poison began showing symptoms?]

[If she were a beast, I could understand that, but a human? Most can’t even last two days.]

"That’s what happened," Primrose said simply. "I don’t know how, but I managed to survive for months." Then, in a quieter voice, she added, "Though honestly, I would’ve preferred if I had died sooner."

Because truthfully, those few months had been the most agonizing part of her life. She spent most of her days stuck in bed, enduring pain that felt endless, and worst of all, Edmund wasn’t even there. He had to leave the palace to stop a war between the beast tribes.

Now that she was so used to having him by her side, the thought of going through something like that without him made the pain feel a thousand times worse.

"That’s ... really something," Salem muttered. "Would you mind if I took more of your hair and blood?"

[If her blood has some kind of strong antibody or resistance,] he thought excitedly, [I might be able to duplicate it and sell it for a high price! I could finally refill my treasury!]

What a shameless capitalist beast.

"You can ask my husband first," Primrose replied dryly. "Just ... choose your words carefully, or he might actually have your head cut off."

She was half-joking when she said that, but knowing Salem and his habit of saying all the wrong things at the worst times, it wasn’t entirely impossible that he’d end up in a guillotine instead of discovering some miraculous antidote.

"I just wanted to say ..." She steered the conversation back toward the real reason they were all gathered. "I want Dr. Silas to suffer before I throw him out of the palace. But before that happens, I need to set Hazelle free."

She turned to Raven, looking her straight in the eyes. "I’m sure Sir Vesper has already told you about this, so I just want to hear it directly from you, are you able to do it, Lady Raven?"

Raven didn’t respond immediately. She stayed quiet, lost in thought, carefully reviewing every method she knew for breaking a slave seal.

Even though her mouth didn’t speak, her mind was already proving that she could do it. She truly had the ability to release someone from a slave seal.
