As the royal doctor, Doctor Xion, explained Astoria's current condition, Yashiro listened with a troubled expression.
"It appears she was bitten, as you can tell from the bite mark on her neck," the doctor began.
"The venom from whatever bit her causes one to be unconscious. Thankfully she will be alright because whatever bit her only secreted enough venom to put her to sleep, not to kill her."
Yashiro stared at Astoria's sleeping body. Even asleep, the princess still looked lovely and elegant. He was absolutely captivated by her beauty this time. He knew that he was in too deep now. When he got the call from Ai regarding what had happened to the princess, he ran out of the meeting in a hurry, leaving his colleagues speechless and confused.
