Unable to hold it back any longer, Lance spat out the blood in his mouth. The eunuch and the guards became frightened.
"Shamans! Call the shamans right this second."

palace in a hurry. Meanwhile, Matthew with his troops, was attacking the cities of the South Kingdom. It was reported that the
Starry Palace had been destroyed. All of the people in the South Kingdom were hysterical. If Lance became seriously ill, the
kingdom would be ruined soon enough!
"Shaman, how is the emperor?"
Being summoned by Lance, all the officials of the South Kingdom rushed to the palace. Their kingdom was in grave danger at
that time. If anything bad happened to Lance who was an important pillar of the entire kingdom, it would suddenly turn this

"His Majesty spat blood and then fainted due to excessive rage. He is fine now. He has already woken up, but he can't be

What was more, a lot of highly skilled shamans once tried to enter the swamp, looking for secret medicines to make those long-lost secret remedies. However, their efforts were in vain as they had

Lance bitterly smiled and asked, "Do you think Matthew is a reasonable man? If she had been fine in our kingdom, why would
she have risked going to the Labyrinth Swamp?"
The crowd looked at each other in dismay. How could they know what Harper was thinking? She was the one who dared to go to
the swamp on her own! Was she courting death? They wouldn't know. Besides, why did she hold the princess as a hostage and
