Her Majestic Battle Cry

Chapter 1299

Before dawn, the carriages from Redstone Manor set off.

The manor’s guards saw Oliver off, as he had previously insisted on personally escorting Celeste and their young son.

As they didn’t share the same room, the guards attending them assumed it was simply the result of drinking too much, so they had the kitchen prepare some hangover soup.

After drinking the soup, they continued to vomit. Once they were done, they felt a little better and fell asleep.

By afternoon, they had still not woken, and the guards began to realize something was wrong. When they inquired further, they discovered that all those who had dined at the manor the previous evening had similar symptoms. They immediately called for the physician.

The military physician, Brandon, examined them and was stunned. “They’ve been poisoned by toxic mushrooms.”
