Stuck In The Middle Ages
17| Poisons

A girl with auspicious looks disturbed from her sleep. Slowly he opened his eyes and found Rose standing while looking at the girl with worry.

     "Queen, you're awake."

Rose, who was trying to help Natasha, was returned with a ring.

      "When did you come and where's Austin?" he asked curiously while trying to reduce the pain in his head.

      "I came after Ms. Azalea told me about the events that happened to the empire as well as the Alpha marquess and the prince being treated by the healer."

       "Is Austin okay?" ask again by trying to get up.

Rose looked shaken.

      "The prince was unconscious from a week ago and the physician said the prince's body did not respond to anything, but the prince is still alive."

Hearing him Natasha frowned in wonder.

      "Tabib gave a lot of smells to the most stinging on the prince's nose, but the prince did not get up."

Natasha ran out, some servants were surprised by her appearance. He then moved towards Austin's room which turned out to be a lot of people. The crying empress seemed unrelenting, while the emperor had threatened the physician for no change at all to his eldest son.

On the other hand, Alex has recovered. He was the first to notice Natasha's presence and was about to approach her, but was arrested by Lilian. Although she knows Alex is interested in Natasha, Lilian does not hate the girl.

She knew that Natasha was not the typekal girl who would flirt with someone else, so that was why there was no look of anxious or upset faces.

     "Hail the emperor, hail the empress!"

Natasha did not forget to say hello, then began to see the condition of Austin.

      "I'll try to check the prince's condition first."

Hearing that, the royal physician instantly prevented it.

      "Free, I've done all sorts of things, but the prince doesn't get up!"

Natasha smile.

      "Because the way your handler is wrong, healer."

Hearing that made everyone surprised, the healer began to get annoyed at the behavior of the girl in front of him.

      "Queen, are you insulting me who is an imperial physician? You know what about this kind of treatment and treatment, it's because you're just sitting quietly in the kingdom!"

Ouh, that's too presumptuous, isn't it?

The emperor immediately slapped the royal physician for daring to insult the imperial hero. If there were no Natasha, then they would obviously be dead by now.

Natasha ignored the doctor's words and chose to focus on Austin.

     "Stop talking nonsense, healer. You can't even cure my oldest son and still want to be arrogant? How dare you insult queen Beverly and the imperial hero. Are you tired of living?" asked the emperor with a sharp look at the physician.

The physician could only be silent, indeed he was already presumptuous. Just an imperial healer doesn't mean he understands medical matters better than anyone else.

Everyone's attention is on Natasha. The girl brought her ear closer to the chest of the Austin field. Obstructed by clothes, she unhesitatingly opened them making everyone shocked, but did not dare to protest.

Now he put his ear back to Austin's chest.

     "His heart beats slowly. Looks like there's a stone that hit his body causing his chest to tight or is there another factor?"

Natasha herself is thinking of a way to make Austin's heart beat fast again.

He then brought his index finger under Austin's nose and felt the man having trouble breathing.

     "Please stay away first, this place is too crowded because there are many people in it. Rose, open the window of the prince's room and let some fresh air in!"

They all obeyed Natasha, she was like a messenger of God.

Natasha began to place her hands over the chest where Austin's heart was beating. He did first aid by pressing on the chest of the field several times and tried to hear it.

He also delivers oxygen through mouth to mouth. They don't have time to be surprised now.

At that instant Natasha started rounding her eyes. He took off his lips and opened Austin's mouth.

How shocked Natasha was when she saw Austin's tongue slowly start to blacken. He turned around and looked at the emperor with a serious look.

     "Please prepare some of the tools I said and don't ask much first. Austin's life now depends on how dexterous you are in finding those tools!"

After Natasha mentioned it, the emperor and several bodyguards and servants began searching, while Austin had been moved into a room with a wide table inside.

After what she asked for was in place, Natasha started. He had washed his hands before and began to close his eyes for a while.

     "Lecturer, I'm sorry to have surgery on people. Though you haven't given us the practice of operating real humans. Pray for me, may the operation be smooth even if I don't wear gloves, because it's medieval!" he said, which then began to calm down.

Natasha had to urgently remove the poison attached to Austin's heart before it spread throughout his body.

Outside the room, the empress seemed to be unceasingly praying even if she was willing to exchange her life with the child. The Emperor seemed to embrace the wife and hoped that whatever Natasha did inside, would produce satisfactory results.

It had been almost six hours for them to wait until Natasha finally opened the door. Looking at his blood-soaked hands, they grew even more worried.

     "For a while let the prince rest. I've taken out all the toxins from his body and sewed up the scars. So please don't touch his chest in the slightest because the stitches are new."

Natasha glanced at the healer for a moment, then looked at Arthur and Alex.

     "Please bring your brother into his room, but be careful. If he wakes up, then the prince should feel a pain in his chest."

      "Of course it will hurt, surgery is done without giving the patient anesthetic. Ah, I hope Austin gets better soon." Natasha sat up while moving from there to clean her hands.

     "Queen, I apologize for the demeanor and affectionate words that have demeaned you. My medical knowledge is still very poor. Can you make me a student? I still have a lot to learn!"

Hearing that Natasha started thinking and it wasn't bad either.

     "okay."

The doctor smiled happily at Natasha. After the events of that day, Austin was conscious and healthy again.

Today there was a meeting in the hall held by the emperor related to the Bastian attack. In addition to discussing the damage they suffered, the emperor also intended to give Natasha the award for saving the lives of many people including the emperor and his family.

There was Natasha and Lucas. After the emperor and his family came, all attention was directed towards them.

      "Given the events of a few weeks ago, I as the emperor will spend a large amount of money to compensate the villagers. For matters of the empire, it will be taken care of by the imperial side."

Now the emperor looked at Natasha who was calmly enjoying the cake.

      "I am also personally very grateful to our heroes who have saved many lives including me. Given how he fought to stop Bastian with and save the life of our future emperor that not even an imperial physician could."

Natasha was still busy eating the cake until her mouth was completely full. Austin who saw that was very anxious and wanted to bite both of Natasha's cheeks.

Alex has had a rotten plan with an inflated smile. He thought that this time must have succeeded to have Natasha.

      "Our hero is a queen from the kingdom of Beverly. Queen Natasha!"

Now that all the views were on him, Natasha spontaneously looked ahead. Many nobles who feel amazed and not a little anxious to see his cheeks grow funny.

Lucas immediately gave his brother a drink so he could swallow the cookies easily.

After being swallowed, Natasha only gave a grin and immediately walked up to the emperor. He stood up looking at Austin, then blinked his eyes next to him.

Austin whose smile restrained the embarrassment made the nobles astonished. The man never even smiled. Some of the girls who saw it became excited themselves.

     "He's very handsome when he smiles."

      "You're right. Lucky queen Beverly can captivate her heart."

      "Yes, yeah. I heard that Hellen was divorced because of their marriage at the insistence of the emperor. It's appropriate, the hell he was divorced so far who accepted the lack of a prince is just the queen Beverly!"

The noble girls start gossiping, Natasha can hear it, but tries to ignore it.

The Emperor stood up from his seat, looking at Natasha with a smile.

      "As a form of appreciation, I will give-"

      "Sorry, interrupt the emperor!"

All views now point to Alex including Lilian. The man stood up and walked towards the emperor, then began to whisper.

A look of confusion from the emperor, but he finally nodded.

Alex returned to his place, making Natasha lazy to just look at the man.

Natasha knew who had already urged the emperor to order Austin to marry immediately and of course the culprit was Alex. Natasha knew it from Azalea.

      "I intend to expand the territory of your kingdom in the west, considering the vacant land there has long been no one to buy it. Also you will be appointed as the concubine of prince Alex!"

Hearing that, everyone was surprised. Lucas himself spouted his drink towards the table and immediately ran towards the older brother.

Lilian seemed to have clenched her hands, like she was ready to beat her husband. Anxiety to Natasha would not be any good, so she had to vent it on her husband, the ringleader.

Austin who was about to interrupt was stopped by the empress.

    "Mom?"

    "Silence Austin. Natasha won't accept your father's request."

Natasha smiled and bowed, intending to pay her respects.

     "Thank you for the appreciation. I accepted regarding the western region, but refused to become a concubine!"

Lilian expected it. Who would be a concubine of the imperial prince if they had occupied the position of queen, because they knew concubines were still concubines.

     "I really appreciate Prince Alex's request, but I'm sorry I was a little insulted by the emperor's request!"

The Emperor nodded and asked why? While Alex was clenching his hands in annoyance.

      "How can you ask me, a queen of the kingdom of Beverly to be a concubine? You know very well what the position of the concubine is like and if I am in that position, it means that I have fallen too far from being a queen to a concubine even if it is the imperial prince's concubine!"

Natasha then looked at Austin and smiled, making confidence in the man to stay calm.

      "I have no intention of getting married any time soon considering Lucas is still in his infancy. Even if I am forced to marry, then that person must be your oldest child. I'm not aiming for his position as the emperor's candidate, but because I've liked him too much to the point that it feels like I want to finish off anyone who approaches us both."

The Empress seemed satisfied with Natasha's words, while Victoria gave her two thumbs to Natasha.

     "Just let the emperor forbid us from getting in touch then I will act very far away from what the emperor imagined. Sorry for saying those words, but I am very serious about the emperor. After all, in the history of the Beverly family, no one has ever had a concubine or been a concubine and that will continue until my next descendant."

The emperor himself was struck by Natasha's words. Indeed, he had previously wanted to raise a concubine, making the empress finally inhabit him for a month and also sleep separately.

       "Alright, forgive me for my request."

Natasha smiled with satisfaction at the look on Alex's face that was dissatisfied with all this. He wants Natasha, no matter what.

     "Playing around with me, Alex? I happen to love a challenge. I know you must be planning another plot to keep me away from Austin. I can't wait to wait!" inner Natasha.

Seriate...
