Bila and Eva quickly came forward to hold down the Third Princess' arms.
Verinia grabbed the medical knife again and located where the worm had moved to before slicing into it.
She couldn't bear to pull it out and cause her little sister pain, but what would happen if she left the worm inside? Wouldn't it reproduce and infest her body? That could even cost Syvia her life!
The thought scared Verinia so much that she didn't even dare to dwell on it, so, she grit her teeth and forewent any delicate handling to directly pinch the thing with the pincers and pull it out.
"Ah!!" Syvia released a shrill scream and began to move around again. She struggled and struggled to push everyone away from her, but her movements were still stiff.
