NovelEnglishHer Majestic Battle Cry Chapter 977 Chapter 977 Leroy furrowed his brows. This matter had nothing to do with him. He had recognized Penny's strange behavior, but it didn't matter what she had done. As long as Lisandra couldn't participate in the negotiations, the power to make decisions rested in his hands.
However, there was one condition-Lisandra's life couldn't be harmed. After all, she was his niece. Arthur was gone. Even though Lisandra didn't share Leroy's stance on the war, he simply couldn't take her life.
He found it odd that Penny, who had always been Lisandra's trusted confidant, would betray her. Was Penny in favor of the war? She had opposed it previously. And clearly, she didn't want Lisandra to die, nor was she willing to give up just like that.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPenny couldn't be acting alone-someone must be pulling the strings behind her betrayal.
Who was it? Edmund? Questions swirled in Leroy's mind, but he had no answers.
His suspicions about Penny stemmed from his ties to Harvey, but the others wouldn't have noticed anything, as she had always been one of Lisandra's most loyal subordinates.
While Leroy was lost in thought, Winona turned to Penny and said, “We're all here. If that's poison, we'll all be poisoned together." "If you're using poison, I'm sure you all have the antidote," Penny retorted.
Winona leaned back and said calmly, "Why would we do that? What good would it do us if we poisoned all of you here in Starhaven?" The Westhaven envoys understood that the people of Starhaven would never do such a thing. They turned to Javier, hoping for reassurance. If he agreed, they would feel more comfortable about the incense.
However, Javier remained silent. Though he was familiar with parasitic toxins, he had never seen them used in practice, nor did he know the antidote. He couldn't be certain whether Lisandra had been poisoned by Soulgrip Threadworms, nor was he sure if this small object would awaken her.
Sebastian noticed that no one was speaking, and grew impatient. He raised his voice and said, "Her Highness has been ill for several hours now. If the poison isn't neutralized within 12 hours, even a god would have a hard tsaving her. Every hour we delay only worsens the damage." With that, he turned to leave with his medicine box in hand.
Garrick and Javier quickly stepped forward to stop him.

I'm too fragile to bear such sights. It's best if I leave." Yasmine looked at Penny for a moment, then glanced at the rest of the room. "Why don't we just listen to Mr. Dalton and light the incense? If it's poison, they'll all be affected. If it's harmless or doesn't wake Her Highness, we'll be no worse off, and we can think of another way." This was also the consensus of the Westhaven envoys. But aside from Garrick, who had spoken earlier, none dared to take responsibility. Now, Yasmine, the eldest daughter of the Stein family and Lisandra's trusted ally, had spoken. If anything happened, she would take the blame.
Naturally, no one else objected. Even Penny remained silent as she clutched her sleeve, her expression complicated. In the end, everyone nodded in agreement.
Under their watchful eyes, Sebastian lit the incense and placed it near Lisandra's pillow, When it was first lit, it emitted a delicate fragrance, but after a while the scent becstrangely off. The familiar fragrance remained, but now carried a strong, bloodlike odor. As the bloody scent spread, it was tainted with a rotten stench that overpowered the earlier pleasant scent completely.
Everyone quickly covered their noses, their hearts pounding as they m anxiously watched Lisandra. Before long, something that shocked everyone present happened.
Lisandra's ears and nostrils began to m expel tiny, almost transparent threadworms about the size of a thread. After crawling out, they all entered the incense burner through its hollow openings. Yuna gasped in horror. "Oh my god, what is that? It's terrifying!" "Is that the Soulgrip Threadworms?" Javier asked, utterly stunned as he had never seen such a thing before.
The poison was alive!
