"What!? There are serious internal injuries in Her Majesty's body?"
Vaelira and Naeriel were stunned by her words.
They immediately checked Zelda's condition—and sure enough, they discovered a critical wound deep within her body.
Their faces turned pale, and their bodies stiffened.
"I'm sorry, three elders," Leon said in a heavy tone. "It seems the mastermind's control technique caused severe damage to Zelda. I apologize for failing to save her."
Nymiel took a deep breath and slowly shook her head.
"It's not your fault, Fated One. The blame lies with us for letting our guard down and allowing the enemy to strike Her Majesty without our knowledge," she replied softly.
"We can't waste any time. Take Her Majesty to the Pool of Life Water now—any delay might worsen her condition," Naeriel urged anxiously.
The Pool of Life Water was a sacred place, known for its miraculous healing powers. Its waters could mend any wound, both external and internal.
