On the dirt road leading to Delis Town, a white carriage was racing forward.
From the carriage window, Vanessa Snowy Hart, the second young miss of the Snowy Hart family, stuck her head out, allowing her jet-black hair to be tousled by the wind, her emerald eyes fixated on the distant scenery.
— (If all goes well, I should reach Delis Town by noon.)
She thought to herself, before withdrawing her head back into the carriage, adjusting her bonnet that had been blown askew by the wind.
Vanessa had initially thought that dispatching three doe spirits together to pull the carriage would allow her to reach Delis Town before that detestable young archer. However, it now seemed unlikely.
Vanessa regretted her initial courteous treatment of the young man. If she ever saw him again, she would surely make him understand her power.
— (I will etch into your thick skull the etiquette that commoners should show towards nobles... you impudent brat...)
Vanessa sighed in resignation. She knew it was useless to be angry, but she couldn't help but think of that annoying boy.
As the carriage traveled, the scenery outside the window suddenly darkened.
Vanessa thought it was going to rain, but when she looked out, it wasn't a cloud that she saw, but a "Azure Flying Lizard" gliding above the carriage.
— (Tsk, why did I have to run into him of all people...!)
.
Minutes later, Vanessa's carriage halted at the side of the road, as did the Azure Flying Lizard, which descended onto the roadside grassland.
The Azure Flying Lizard was essentially an oversized lizard, its size comparable to a full-grown horse, but when its tail was included, it was twice as long as a horse. Its wingspan, when fully spread, could reach eight meters, making it appear much larger when flying than when its wings were folded upon landing.
The Azure Flying Lizard was a signature mount of the Azure Lizard family. Its presence here indicated that a young master from the Azure Lizard family was about to arrive.
"Oh, my dear Vanessa, what a fateful encounter this is!"
A tall young man jumped down from the back of the Azure Flying Lizard. With his long, green hair and sparkling brown eyes, he complemented his soft, feminine charms.
"Good morning, Lord Wallace. Are you also on your way to Delis Town?"
Vanessa stepped out of the carriage. She didn't want to ask such an obvious question, but it would be awkward not to make small talk.
"Yes, I thought I was too late when I set out two days after you, but it seems fate favors me~" Wallace replied with a smile. Vanessa forced a smile in response. The man before her was the one she was to marry—Wallace Azure Lizard—if she couldn't return to the Snowy Hart family with her power.
Objectively speaking, Wallace wasn't a bad match. He was the eldest son of the Azure Lizard family, intelligent, and equally skilled in combat as Vanessa.
Furthermore, like Vanessa, Wallace was a "classist," disregarding commoners and only acknowledging nobles.
However, Vanessa couldn't bring herself to like Wallace's feminine appearance.
If he were to dress in women's clothes, he might even look prettier than Vanessa.
"Vanessa, why don't we fly to Delis Town together? The view from the air is something you can't enjoy from a carriage," Wallace extended his hand to Vanessa.
Vanessa declined politely, explaining that she had three doe spirits to look after and couldn't ride the Azure Flying Lizard.
"Thank you for your invitation, Lord Wallace, but I can't leave these children behind," Vanessa said.
"Is that so... what a pity..." Wallace sighed, bid Vanessa goodbye and mounted the Azure Flying Lizard and left.
Vanessa watched the shrinking silhouette of the Azure Flying Lizard in the sky, her fists clenched in silent resolution.
In her upcoming raid on the "Labyrinth: Aqua Nest," Vanessa had two main rivals.
One was the renowned "Silver Armored Heavy Cavalry Knight", Garvit, the captain of the First Cavalry of the Emerald City Cavalry Unit in the Azure Lizard family's territory, a formidable figure with both strength and experience;
The other was Wallace Azure Lizard, who she had just met. Despite his courteous demeanor earlier, in battle, he could be mercilessly savage, enough to scare even psychos.
Calling them rivals didn't necessarily mean they would be directly fighting each other, rather, they had conflicting interests.
Although the labyrinth raid was a team-based activity, there was only a single "ultimate treasure" to be obtained at the end. Naturally, the strongest member of the team would claim this treasure.
There was no such thing as a labyrinth raid team that could maintain peace and harmony all the way to the end in this world of Prison Star.
Vanessa Snowy Hart, at all costs, wanted to seize this opportunity to prove herself.
If she, now 21, were to fail, she would have no choice but to yield to her fate and marry Wallace Azure Lizard.
.
Switching the perspective back to Delis Town, within an inn, Tyler had just finished examining Heloise's health.
"Felix, how's the situation?"
"Well, the effects of the intermediate purification potion are significantly better, I think we can continue using it."
There was a note of joy in Tyler's voice, for the effects of the intermediate purification potion were indeed remarkable. It had successfully extended Heloise's life by another two days when she only had a couple of days left, almost equivalent to saving her life!
(In the worst-case scenario, the full infection will occur on July 10th. Within these remaining three days, I must find a solution...!)
"Really? That's wonderful."
Heloise was not anxious, as she thought she had a whole year to slowly find a cure.
However, she sensed Felix's elation and consequently felt cheerful.
What moved her the most was that Felix genuinely cared about her, otherwise, why would he be happier than her, the person directly affected?
.
In order to mass-produce the intermediate purification potion, Tyler took Heloise out early in the morning to purchase materials.
Halfway there, they encountered Babur, the burly man they had seen in the quest guild the day before, who was causing trouble on the street with his gang.
Interestingly, the victims were the local bullies of Delis Town, so the bystanders had no intention to help. They were merely enjoying the spectacle of a dog-eat-dog scene.
However, Babur and his gang were blocking the road, which was affecting Tyler and Heloise.
"Excuse me, handsome gentlemen up front, we need to get through." Tyler called out from a distance. Normally, being called handsome would have a positive effect, but Babur's minions didn't appreciate it.
"What's all the noise, brat? Can't you see we're disciplining someone? Scram!"
After speaking, one of the minions spat a thick gob of phlegm. If Tyler hadn't dodged in time, he would have been hit.
Upon seeing this, Heloise was immediately infuriated. Spitting, even just saliva, is considered a severe provocation within the tigermen tribe, let alone phlegm!
However, Tyler stopped her from retaliating.
"Heloise, we're in a hurry. Let me handle this."
While saying this, Tyler inexplicably reached out to touch Heloise's bottom.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
