Noah narrated everything to Siena who from time to time glared at Alex.
She also took a peek and glanced at Riya with jealousy wondering how there could be a woman as beautiful as her who seems like a sculpture made by the Goddess.
"Are you really going to believe in him?"
"What if he harms us, brother? Who is gonna take responsibility?" Siena asked with a cold look.
"It seems she isn't as naive as she looks, "Alex murmured.
"What did you say?" Siena scowled at Alex.
Alex just shrugged his shoulders and stepped forward"Let's not waste more time."
Noah asked Siena to calm down and hold her grudges for later.
Alex sat down before Nolan and observed him.
He first checked his pulse and channelized his mana inside him.
Noah and Siena observed Alex with a grim expression.
Alex cannot claim to be a proper physician but at least he wasn't a layman in this regard.
He had been taught the basic knowledge of most things as long as it belonged to the category of Knowledge.
What Alex mostly worried about was whether Nolan had been affected like Cherry leading to mutation or change in his physical body.
Contrary to the worst-case scenario, he hadn't been affected that much. He seemed to be poisoned by something which combined with the darkness element similar to a darkness pill.
It was the type of thing which was quite hard to diagnose and its antidote was quite hard to make for any master but fortunately, it was something that especially Alex after a rough understanding could easily deal with.
"How bad is it?"Noah asked with a worried tone.
"I think I can treat him but I need to prepare some things."
Alex spoke with confidence and brought relief to Noah.
Sienna was still sceptical about it but she didn't voice out her thoughts to cause any inconvenience.
She wanted to believe in Alex's words but since they come from the enemy who butchered their men she was finding it hard to accept.
"Noah help me with these things?"
Alex scratched something with the pen in the paper and passed it to Noah.
Noah arranged it quickly as soon as possible and within a few moments, everything was arranged.
Alex opened the box containing the acupuncture needle.
He coated it with his mana-containing light element and started to stick it in the acupuncture meridians' channels through which blood and mana met for a moment and circulate all over the body.
Under everyone's astonishing eyes, Nolan's body started to swell in the guts and the veins started to bulge and extended towards its head.
Alex passed some instructions to Riya who had already taken her position.
"Riya prepares yourself," Alex shouted and coated the last needle with mana and stuck it on top of Nolan.
Nolan's body pulsated and shivered as if he had been electrocuted suddenly.
"Now Riya."
Riya's palm started to glow and he kept it on Nolan's gut which had swelled greatly.
Swish!Swish!
Faint gales emerged due to the collision of Riya's palm with Nolan's gut which caused mana to surge with heavy pressure.
Sweats started to trickle down from Riya's forehead.
Veins bulged on Riya's arms and a dark glow appeared over her arms.
Alex held Riya's arms and shouted"Don't absorb it. It's quite poisonous, we don't know what effect you will have after absorbing it."
Riya was now correctly extracting the darkness mana which had been residing in Nolan's body while Alex tried to purify it as much as possible.
Alex blocked all the mana points and gathered the residing dark mana in one place to make the collection easy.
Now, they just have to clear everything.
"Let's finish this," Alex shouted and a bright golden light emerged from him which covered the whole room.
The dazzling bright light illuminated the entire place for a brief period.
As the bright glow resided, Alex slumped down on the couch while pulling Riya to his lap.
"It's over," Alex spoke with a heavy breath and wiped the sweat over Riya's forehead.
"Thanks!" Riya spoke softly wondering why this minor thing felt so taxing.
Noah was about to speak something when he heard a gurgling sound and it didn't take too long to find out.
Blergh!Behr!!
Nolan coughed and puked darkishly liquid with a horrible rotten odour which was enough to make everyone sick.
"That's the base of the remaining poison. Let him vomit."
"You clear away the things while Riya and I should take a stroll. You can call the physician and check his condition."
After Alex and Riya walked out, Nolan kept on puking for a few moments after which his condition stabilised.
The blue dark colour over his body disappeared and he started to look like a human for real.
The Royal Physician checked his condition and said that he is finally out of danger.
Vermouth left everything and ran towards his son to take and look and shed tears of joy along with others.
"My son is alive...My son.." Vermouth's lip quivered as his heart was flooded with joy and reverence.
Previously he felt that he failed as a father to protect his child.He regretted everyday for sending his son to the battlefield which would become the cause of death.
Watching your son dying slowly before your eyes was the cruelest torture for one parent.
It was a moment of celebration for all of them. If not for the stiff situation, he could have organised a royal banquet and treated everyone.
Even though he couldn't do that, at least he should treat the one who was the reason for all this happiness with all his heart.
Alex and Riya who were in the guest room were called and when Alex entered the room, his steps faltered as he saw Vermouth bowing his head with deep gratitude.
"Your Highness, I understand your feelings but as an Emperor of the nation, you shouldn't bow before someone like me. There are many other ways to express gratitude."
Although Alex spoke in a humble tone, his crooked smile didn't go unnoticed in Riya's eyes who shook his head in dismay.
He knew what was coming.
The Royal Family of Arkham might bite their nails trying to fulfil Alex's request.
