Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My initial excitement was drowned by Lanesha's consisted urging. I was incredibly happy that it had worked. But, Lanesha must have had a point for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... Can I just take her like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I questioned, I was still unfamiliar with how my domain worked. I didn't want to yell it's activation sequence and have an entire city from here. That would be disastrous and something I could never pay for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking about it, I really need to test a lot of things about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What am I thinking about...?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking my head, I focused on the more important task. Treating Samantha. I need to make sure that she recovers without any mishap. The panacea phial should be enough but it would be good to trust Lanesha's judgement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do I go there...with her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I asked, confused. I didn't want my soldiers there to consider her an enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha suggests you just think of it, with her in your arms.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Lanesha's instructions. I carefully picked Samantha up, the machines connected to her were disconnected, and I thought about the Jade Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I closed my eyes, and focused... And Voilà!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I opened my eyes and found myself inside the throne room. The giant serpent king was looking at me, and Samantha, with curious eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't attack her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I said, just in case. If this thing went ballistic, it would be hard to stop it. I noticed Samantha shivering, and hurriedly cast thermal magic around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jade Palace is a cold place, I may not feel it, but that doesn't mean it's the same for others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now where...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I muttered, waiting for Lanesha's guidance. However, The palace, as if it understood me, began to light up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... Right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed, I had forgotten about this feature. I followed the lights as I made sure Samantha was asleep. And fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Multiple times I went through the pain of checking her status with Dragon Eyes. And each time I sighed in relief when I saw it was still the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know why I am so paranoid, I keep thinking that...maybe because I didn't use the entire bottle, the curse may appear again... Thankfully, I don't have to worry about that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I opened a large door I hadn't ever seen before. This was where the lights had guided me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, I saw a large pool, and only that. The water inside the pool was cool, and had a strange lustre I could not define.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I dipped my hand into it, and found it to be calm, soothing, and most importantly...warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using Dragon eyes once again, I found that it was a pool of rejuvenation. One that could help with recovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Ah.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this is why Lanesha told me to come here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, after checking the depth of the pool, I lowered Samantha into a place where it wasn't too deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...is it okay to leave her like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha says it is fine. The longer she stays here, the better it is for her.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the connection I had with my troops in my mind, I called over ten knights, and ordered them to protect Samantha, and help her. I ordered all my troops to consider her an ally, even a princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My only concern left would be Samantha freaking out when she woke up. So I had the smaller snakes survey the area all the time. If she woke up, they would inform me and I would rush over here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha asks if you have any other business to attend too?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the room, I lay down on the cold floor and was surprised at this question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean? I only have to attend school. Not anything else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha urges you to think more.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think more? Maybe test this domain more, and consult Master a little bit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha remarks that you are an idiot.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confused, I stood up, unable to understand what she meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I get that a lot, especially from Sabrina and Maxwell, but I really don't think I am missing something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And if I am, please enlighten this idiot?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surely, she must want me to do something. If not, I don't see any reason to continue or even initiate this discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh...what is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After her silence, I asked again, but I felt as if a pair of disapproving eyes were gazing at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the disappointed eyes of a mother, I scrambled to think about everything. And it finally occurred to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the Panacea, I gripped the bottle tightly and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sigh soon changed into a smile, and I looked at Samantha\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take care of her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Supreme Dragon of Frost, Lanesha promises no harm will befall her.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had said that to the troops, but this is nice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stepped outside the room, and went to the throne to finally exit the Jade Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*******\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You owe me one.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elijah stared at the note, the message written within it was in a nice writing style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alan, huh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew who that writing reminded him of. This note was what was outside his room, along with a bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He heard a knock outside and went to check it out. But he found no one outside except those two items, laying on the matt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still a little hard for him to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used his skills to check the information of the bottle, and muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... He really did it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had disconnected himself from the outside world for quite a while, so he was unaware of the uproar Alan had caused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, once he saw the bottle, and the note... It instinctively made him figure it out, who it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, still a little amazed. Moving his injured body outside his own room, he rushed towards his brothers' room. Where his family was most likely grieving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He resolved himself to repay this debt no matter what.\u003C\u002Fp>",1032,"2026-06-02T11:57:38.462Z",1,"novelbin.me","6ec8e818f19e08d7a8810ed4095f76aca7cb87e15641c0cc62ccca35c005d680","the-villain-s-story-chapter-502","the-villain-s-story-chapter-100",910,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-villain-s-story-cover.jpg"]
