2024-11-07 23:07:13Thea adores her grandfather, Thor so much that she had spent most of her time looking for a cure for his sickness and she was willing to spend every dime on him.
But at that moment, for the first time in her life, she wishes that her grandfather doesn’t wake up. Well, that’s till Alex leaves the house. That means she would still hold the authority of the Walton’s family.
He was acting like he wasn’t affected by her presence and it really hurt her pride. She was the goddess of war. He wasn’t aware that he was dealing with a tough person.
Instead of giving her a response, Alex rushed over to check the old man that was lying on the bed after he had noticed that his fingertips were white. He checked his pulse and muttered, “it is just as I thought, he has been poisoned by the two-headed snake.”
Thea’s forehead creased into a frown, ”My grandpa was poisoned? Does he really have poison in his system?”
“Yes, it is the most toxic poison that is currently in existence. If I had discovered this earlier, I would have been able to do something about it right away but it has been over six months since he has been poisoned, I am afraid curing him right now is far-fetched.”
“The medicine that can cure it is very scarce and difficult to acquire. It will take a lot of work to get it. Kudos to the doctors you have employed in the past, they must have exhausted all their abilities trying to keep Lord Walton already but couldn't do anything about the poison. They are the reason he is not dead yet.”
She scoffed, “I had thought that you were just an ordinary doctor from the medicine village, little did i know that you are not just a doctor but a lunatic in a doctor’s form. I almost fell for your acting.”
Thea barely had any knowledge about medicine but she had reached out to the most famous doctors to come treat her grandfather but Alex stood before her to ridicule them by saying they had exhausted their power as if he was better than them.
Alex got up from Lord Walton’s side and dazed Thea. “I am aware that you do not see me as a potential healer for your grandfather but trust me I did not tell a lie about what is wrong with him.”
Thea could not hold but be marveled at the words that he spewed shameless. It was unmatched to the fools that bluff to her while she is on the battle ground.
“At least, you are now aware that my grandfather will not be able to do anything about the marriage contract since he can’t speak and the authority of this house now belongs to me, so as i said earlier, rip off the contract and let’s go back to our various worlds like we never met.”
Her tone was firm and obvious that she had made up her mind. She hates his guts and she wanted him to see her place as the war god of Mericania.
“I will look for the medicine within a month and return to treat Lord Walton.”
“Why do you want to come back here? I will hire better doctors than you to fix my grandpa if I can, so do not come here saying you want to treat him. I will not let you touch him and say the nonsense you were spewing about the two- headed snake.”
“Why not? It seems to me that you loved your grandpa, do you not want him to regain his health back?”
“Because of your bad intentions, you are trying to impress me so I can marry you.”
“I see that you are delusional, Miss Thea.”
“You are the delusional one that thinks that your lies can get to me, a mere village doctor diagnosing that my grandfather had been poisoned when many renowned doctors did not find the cause. I can see right through you.”
“I am doing this to treat your grandfather because he had helped my family and my master in the past, not because I want to marry you. I have to leave right now. As you can see it is quite late. I need to get to my destination to have a good night's rest.” he smiled at her.
“If you dare return here in a month’s time, i will show you why I am called the war god of Mericania,”
Without giving her response, he got up, carried his little bag and left the Waltons residence.
Just then, thea’s phone rang and she picked her phone up at once, “Dr Norton, how may I help you?”
David Norton is the most famous Orthodox medical doctor in Mericania and he had ranked number one in the ranking of orthodox doctor for the past ten years and he was the doctor that has recently treated Lord Thor Walton.
“Ms Thea, I am calling to inform you about what you have discovered about your grandfather’s condition. I have reached out to retired medical doctors in my line of practice, I even went to the extent of reaching out to people I have cut ties with because Lord Walton's sickness was so peculiar and I finally got to the roots of it.”
Thea was filled with hope for her grandfather, she had been looking forward to when she would see him next and how up to him that she was now the War god of Mericania..
“Please, tell me what you found.”
“Lord Walton is not ill neither is he suffering from an unknown ailment. He is in a coma because he had been poisoned and it's not just any poison. He had been poisoned by the two headed snake. It is the most toxic poison in the world. It is really a miracle that he is alive right now.”
Her eyes glimmer with hope for her grandfather, “Please do anything in your power to heal him. I will pay you any amount that you ask for.” She said in a pleading tone.
David heaved a heavy sigh, “the poison has spent too long in Lord Walton’s body which has caused it to spread. I am afraid that there is not much assistance I would be able to offer to him. But I think..” he trailed off.
She was curious to know what he had to offer.
“what do you think of?” she asked.
"According to what I can remember, there is someone that can heal your grandfather, he is the divine doctor. His powers are said to have brought some back to life from the dead.”
Thea had heard tales and rumors about the divine doctor but she didn’t believe them to be true since he was nowhere to be found. Even the Healers card that people called the ticket to get to see him was nowhere to be bought or found.
“Doctor David, if you get in touch with this divine doctor, please let me know I will also start looking for him from my end! Thank you.” She said then she hung up.
Then she suddenly remembered that Alex had mentioned that her grandfather was poisoned by the two-headed snake.
She shrugged the thoughts off, “Scammers like him are usually lucky with their guess. It can’t be!”

Chapter 180- Princess Serena disappears
The night was quiet—but it was the kind of quiet that carried tension in every leaf, every gust of wind.A silence that did not soothe, but waited.Thea Walton walked alone along the marble-lined walkway of the eastern courtyard. Her boots were silent against the stone, but her heartbeat was not. It pounded beneath her ribs with a stubborn rhythm that refused to settle.She had not seen Alex since the royal edict was declared.She had stood three steps behind him when the Crown Prince raised his voice and placed a scroll in his hands.She had watched as the palace bowed to him—an outsider, a healer, a threat—and had said nothing when her fellow generals whispered questions in her direction.But it wasn’t jealousy.Not entirely.It was something heavier.Something harder to name.She climbed the stairs to the private terrace just above the Flame Pavilion. There, surrounded by a half-circle of plum trees, stood Alex Cole, alone.He was facing away from her, his hands clasped behind his
Chapter 179 - Four times
The throne chamber was not usually this quiet.But on this morning, no one dared to speak out of turn.The long ceremonial hall, gilded with beams of gold lacquer and painted phoenixes, stood bathed in soft sunlight that filtered through tall stained-glass windows. Every footstep echoed. Every breath was measured.A select gathering had been called.Not a full council meeting—no, this was something rarer.A Strategic Royal Audience, convened solely at the will of the Crown Prince.Seated at the base of the throne dais were General Earlton, Lady Thea Walton, and four court physicians. The rest of the benches were filled by trusted intelligence officers, security masters, and two elders summoned at the last hour.At the center of the chamber stood Alex Cole, his posture straight, his expression unreadable. He wore the same black-silver robe gifted to him during the flower refinement trial. The inner hall lighting gleamed faintly off the phoenix embroidery on his collar.The whispers had

Later, in the quiet of the strategy garden, the Crown Prince sat with Alex beneath the phoenix blossom tree. The sun had softened, casting golden light through the leaves. “You were not wrong to speak bluntly,” the Prince said. “But it will draw more enemies,” Alex replied. The Prince nodded. “I am used to them.” He looked up at the sky. “There was a time I believed in peace. In balance. But now… I see we are all pieces on a board shaped by men like Bourne.” Alex’s voice was low. “Then let us be the ones who flip the board.” The Prince smiled faintly. “You remind me of my uncle when he was young.” “Was he wise?” “He was brave,” the Prince said. “And now he is dead.” They sat in silence. Then the Prince stood. “I have a favor to ask.” “Speak it.” “Continue your research on flame Qi,” the Prince said. “There is a legend I need verified. One that involves your seal… and my mother.” Alex raised a brow. “What legend?” The Prince’s voice lowered. “That the Phoenix Line o
Chapter 177 - Dangerous waters
The banners of the Jade Pavilion fluttered in the late morning breeze as the Imperial Court of Elders convened for an unscheduled session.It was rare for the Crown Prince to summon the council without imperial prompting. Rarer still for him to do so on temple day, when most elders were expected to attend prayer offerings or engage in scholarly review. Yet all thirteen robed figures arrived within the hour, none bold enough to decline the Crown Prince’s personal seal.At the center of the grand chamber, a long half-moon dais faced a raised seat where the Crown Prince now sat, flanked by two incense-bearing ministers. Behind him stood Alex Cole, dressed once again in black and silver robes, his face calm though his presence sent a ripple through the room.The court was not used to outsiders.Certainly not ones who stood without kneeling.Yet none called it out.They had heard of him.They had heard of the poisoned assassin.The Crown Prince stood.His voice was steady, rich with the
Chapter 176 - Half brother
The first light of morning filtered through the lattice windows of the Crown Prince’s private strategy hall, casting long golden bars across the polished floor. Outside, the palace was waking. Gardeners swept fallen petals. The temple bells rang softly in the distance. Couriers moved with quick steps, carrying missives sealed in jade tubes.But inside, the tension was suffocating.Alex Cole stood near a long scroll table, arms folded across his chest. He had cleaned and dressed his wounds, though the bandage around his left bicep was still fresh. His expression was unreadable.Across from him stood Thea Walton, her cloak removed and tossed across the nearest chair. Her uniform was partially undone, revealing the tight linen beneath, but she looked less like a war general today and more like a woman on the edge of something personal.The Crown Prince sat at the head of the room, leaning slightly on his right arm. His sword, wiped clean of the assassin's blood from the night before, la
Chapter 175 - Alex goes down
Moonlight spilled across the cobblestone pathways of the imperial courtyard like liquid silver. The garden here, nestled between the east wing of the inner court and the outer temple pavilions, was designed for silence. No servants wandered here after dusk. The lanterns had been dimmed to faint embers, and only the distant rustling of wind-touched bamboo broke the stillness.Alex Cole stood alone beneath the blossoming night cherry tree at the garden’s edge.His breath was shallow. Fatigue gnawed at his bones.He had not rested since the completion of the cure. The strain of channeling high-tier flame Qi during refinement had pushed his meridians close to overload. Though he had masked it well, his energy was fractured. Spiritual channels that usually ran like rivers now trickled slowly, choked by internal strain.Still, something had drawn him outside.A whisper at the back of his mind. A prickle at the base of his neck.He had sensed it earlier at his window—a shift in the palace’s
