The Little Witch’s Daily Struggle – Chapter 1553

Chapter 1553 – Delivering Medicine

“Wait a moment, what happened?” Karina stopped a maid, asking gently, her face devoid of the panic and worry from earlier.

“Ah? You don’t know? Miss was attacked. I heard she was poisoned,” the maid replied quickly upon seeing Karina’s decent attire, mistaking her for a high-ranking maid.

“What?!” Karina exclaimed in shock. She didn’t need to fake this reaction; she was genuinely stunned that the Princess had been attacked in such a short time since they’d left.

“Where was she attacked? Was it underground?!” Karina asked urgently. She worried the Princess might have gone to the underground alone to see the werewolf after hearing their earlier conversation out of curiosity.

The Princess wasn’t usually so impulsive. Moreover, both they and the Intelligence Manager had warned her. However, it was possible the Princess had a moment of impulse and wanted to see the werewolf who might be her sister.

“I, I don’t know. I’m just a little maid; how would I know such a big thing? But some soldiers are saying that the Princess was cursed after touching something a servant delivered,” the maid said nervously.

“What?” This time, I was the one surprised. I had previously pretended that the list was delivered by a servant, and now the attacker had actually used the exact same method, having a servant deliver something to the Princess. Were her guards that lax? They truly didn’t check.

“Sorry, I lost my composure a bit. Where is Miss now? Can you tell me?” Karina regained her composure and asked the maid.

“In the royal infirmary, but you probably can’t get in. It’s under strict martial law. I have orders, I must go now!” the maid said and hurried away.

Many other servants were scurrying around, looking frantic, just like her. Clearly, the Princess’s sudden attack had thrown the entire Palace into chaos.

“Let’s go. We’re heading to the infirmary,” Karina said. Having arrived earlier, she was much more familiar with the Palace than I was. The moment the maid mentioned “infirmary,” Karina knew exactly where it was.

We rushed to the infirmary. Along the way, the guards’ patrols had significantly increased, causing us to waste quite some time before reaching the vicinity of the infirmary.

However, stealth was no longer useful. Two knights in gorgeous armor stood at the infirmary’s entrance. Their solemn expressions and the faint pressure they exuded seemed to freeze the surrounding air, making it difficult to breathe. The guards around them dared not move carelessly.

These two knights were no weaker than the ordinary Royal Knights the Crown Prince had brought to Cando City. Their strength was at most slightly inferior to the Royal Knight commander who had attacked the Lich that day. They were definitely not someone we could slip past easily.

The surrounding soldiers were also all elites, likely from the Hesse Duchy’s Royal Guard. Although they were carrying ceremonial court swords, they would still be troublesome if they swarmed us.

How to get in was one problem; what to do after getting in was another. Through my God’s Eye, I could already see the scene inside the infirmary. The Princess lay on the hospital bed with a dark, bluish complexion, surrounded by a large group of courtiers, watching the court doctor treat her.

“I’ve seen the Princess. She is indeed cursed and is currently undergoing treatment. There are many courtiers inside the infirmary. Even if we get in, it will be difficult to approach the Princess without being discovered. Once exposed, we will be attacked by everyone,” I told Karina.

“No problem, I have my ways. The more chaotic the situation, the greater the loopholes in security,” Karina said confidently.

Just as I was about to remind her not to be too impulsive, she suddenly turned and walked backward. I was wondering what she was planning when Karina stopped a maid carrying a tray filled with various medicines at the stairwell.

There were quite a few servants and soldiers watching the stairwell, but from their perspective, all they could see was an elegant older maid in a high-ranking maid’s uniform walking from the direction of the infirmary and stopping the maid who was carrying the medicine.

“The superiors have ordered that all medicine delivered to Miss must be inspected for any issues. Come here and let me examine these drugs,” Karina said with a straight face, her voice serious.

So that’s how it is. In emergencies, superiors often issue temporary orders, and the subordinates cannot verify them. For example, none of them dared to barge into the infirmary now to ask if the order was genuine.

The soldiers wouldn’t find it strange that the medicine needed inspection either. After all, the rumor that the Princess was cursed by something a servant delivered had already spread throughout the Palace. Strengthening the checks now seemed normal.

The maid, not suspecting anything, followed Karina into a nearby room. She placed the tray on the table and turned around, asking, “How do you want to inspect them?”

Then, she saw Karina’s deep eyes. A faint silver light flashed in the center of her eyes, and her consciousness became dazed.

“Just hand the medicine over to me to take in. You can go back,” Karina said. The maid nodded and left the room.

Hypnosis, cast with the Demonic Eye. Karina possessed a Demonic Eye, though I didn’t know if it was innate or transplanted, nor if it had any other effects.

“Alright, all three of you. If you want to go in, possess me. But absolutely no aura can be emitted, or we will all die,” Karina said, picking up the tray.

“Okay.” I continued to be her ethereal spirit. Via merged into Karina’s shadow, and Lorna went directly into her body.

“Oof! You, you little ghost, your soul’s quantity is a bit much, and your Spirit Vision is even higher than my Demonic Eye. That’s a bit dangerous,” Karina grunted, taken by surprise when Lorna possessed her.

Once she got used to it, Karina picked up the medicine tray and walked toward the entrance. I asked with concern, “Can you really get in?”

“Of course. I have official status, and those esteemed knights usually don’t pay much attention to a little maid,” Karina replied.

When she reached the infirmary entrance, one of the knights extended his hand, “What are you doing here?”

“Delivering medicine. The physician just asked us to fetch it,” Karina’s voice carried a hint of reverence, slight breathlessness, and a touch of fear—her act was seamless.

The knight opened the tray and inspected the medicines. They were fine. He then looked at her chest. The maid’s uniform bore the emblem of the Hessen family, and it seemed perfectly normal.

“Hurry in and don’t disturb Miss and the lords,” the knight said, pushing open the door. Karina nodded, and we were successfully brought inside.
