BXBX NOVEL Chapter 230 230:- Benefits That Comes With Poison
"Doctor, I have other important works to do. How about you call me when you have managed to find a cure for me? I will return and gladly take the cure."
"Don\'t talk too much."
Sigh!
"Sometimes this world is so unfair. Alright. At least let me roam around the Royal Castle. I promise I won\'t leave the Castle." It has been more than 12 hours since Aditya has been lying on the bed inside the laboratory. This whole time Julia and her maid Paid, have been trying to come up with a cure for this poison.
Now that the White Dragon King has died, sooner or later, the news will spread. Aditya wanted to act before that happened. Additionally, he had other tasks such as discussing their plans for developing their new territory in the Southern region, which was previously the Skyline Kingdom.
Julia put down the glass bottle which contained some strange dark green liquid in it and looked at Aditya with an exhausted look. "Aditya, can you please stop acting like a spoiled baby?"
"I am not acting. I really have some important works to finish."
"You always work without taking proper rest. Use this opportunity to take some rest. If anything emergency happens, then Watson will let you know. For now, stay here." The truth is Julia wanted to keep watch on Aditya\'s body. By now the blue skins had spread all over his chest. Even with the pill that she feed Aditya, the poison had managed to spread all over his chest. Fortunately, once the poison reaches his heart, the spreading speed of the poison will rapidly increase. Aditya was looking paler than before. Julia was really concerned about Aditya.
"Alright." Aditya can feel his body getting really weak. he wasn\'t sure if at this moment he can fight a Peak 5th-order cultivator even with his Dragon Transformation.
Aditya already can\'t feel his right arm and was somewhat having a little difficult moving it. This entire time his chest was burning from the inside as a result of the poison. As he didn\'t want to worry Julia, he did not show any reaction of discomfort or pain.
At this moment the goddess of alchemy was really frustrated. No matter how hard Julia tried, she couldn\'t come up with any cure for the poison. With each passing hour, she was gradually beginning to lose her calmness and began to panic. Especially seeing the blue veins had managed to reach all over his chest. In a short while, the poison should reach his heart and when that happens, Julia would have very less time.
Even after 12 hours of constantly trying, Julia couldn\'t do anything. The goddess herself was beginning to lose confidence in her alchemy skills for the very first time in her entire life. This was the first time in Julia\'s entire life she was dealing with a poison that was specially made for dragons. What\'s more, this poison was powerful enough to affect even a Divine Dragon.
Given that Aditya had Divine grade Dragon bloodline, he should be immune to all kinds of poison. However, this poison wasn\'t anything normal. It was a type of poison that was specially made for Dragons. By now Julia has tried to make a cure by making various combinations of herbs with poison-curing abilities but for far nothing has worked. Also, it was impossible for her to just remove the poison when the poison had merged with Aditya\'s body; more specifically speaking with his veins.
Julia was sure that after a certain period of time, Aditya won\'t be able to move anymore. He will be paralyzed.

Scene change to Ethereal Empire___
The Capital of the Ethereal Empire, the Whitfrost city was decorated. The Capital was more crowded than usual. The people looked happier. The streets were much busier than usual. The businesses in the Capital had more customers than usual times. These all happened because the entire Ethereal Empire was celebrating the marriage of the Crown prince which would be held 3 days later.
Announcing the marriage of Noah, The Emperor declared 5 days of public holidays throughout the entire Empire. In these 5 days, the taxes on food and drinks will be lowered by 50%.
Right now Ronny and the whole Osburn royal family were busy preparing for Noah\'s wedding.
However, the Princess of the Ethereal Empire didn\'t look too happy. It has been 3 days since Aditya left. And so far, Alicia hasn\'t heard any reply from Aditya. At first, Alicia thought that Aditya was simply busy so she did not disturb him. But on the second day, after she got the news of the going battle between both Dragon Empires in the Southern region and the big and shocking news of a higher-order being descending on the Southern region, Alicia had to contact Aditya.
However, so far the goddess of wealth hasn\'t received any news from Aditya. The last news that she got was that a massive portal was opened by the overgrown Snake. After that everything returned to normal as if nothing happened. Knowing Aditya, Alicia was sure that he would know something about this but she couldn\'t contact him this entire time.
"I think you\'re just worrying too much, Alicia. I am sure Aditya is just busy." Sylvie, Alicia\'s best friend tried to calm the goddess.
"You honestly expect me to believe that Aditya is so busy that he can\'t even spare enough time to read a letter of mine? I refuse to believe that. Knowing that Scoundrel\'s personality, he would never ignore my letter."
Various kinds of emotions were reflected on the goddess\'s face. Before meeting Aditya, Alicia would never show this kind of emotion. In fact, for some years, Sylvie even started to believe that nothing in this world can make her best friend lose her calmness. However, that all changed when she introduced Aditya to her. Time after time, Sylvie to got see various sides of Alicia that she never saw before. The Dragon King was able to bring out various emotions and sides from Alicia without her even realizing it.
"Earlier I sent my personal maid to the Istarin Empire. She should return with a message from Aditya." Just as the goddess of wealth finished saying those words and picked up the teacup to take a sip, someone opened the door and barged in causing Sylvie and Alicia to frown.
"Can you please knock before entering?" Sylvie did not like it when people entered her room without knocking first. She would get mad. In the white lotus guild, it is very widely known that the guild leader does not like it when people enter her room without knocking. Not even the goddess of wealth was allowed to enter her room without knocking first.
"I apologize my lady. But the current situation is too urgent."
Sigh!
Sylvie sighed while rubbing her temples while Alicia looked at the personal maid. "What happened?"
"The Istarin Emperor has been poisoned which is slowly killing him. Lady Julia has been trying to come up with a cure." The teacup from Alicia\'s hand fell to the ground and shattered into a pieces.
Bang!
Alicia stared at her maid in deep shock. The goddess was so shocked that she was unable to speak or react for an entire minute.
Sylvie also had a similar reaction. "How did this happen?" Sylvie had fought beside Aditya and knew how terrifying this man\'s strength was. Aditya was able to fight a Peak 5th-order cultivator while being a beginner 3rd-order cultivator. The dark elf couldn\'t believe that such a powerful person was poisoned.
"It\'s true. Only a very few people in the royal Castle know of this. The news is still a secret to almost everyone. Lady Julia did not tell me how this happened but she wanted you to go there as soon as possible."
Lady Osburn hurriedly nodded her head. Without wasting even a single second, she hurriedly left the room leaving Sylvie and the maid.
Sylvie also wanted to accompany her best friend when the maid stopped her. "Lady Julia only asked lady Alicia to come." Sylvie nodded and then sat down on her chair feeling depressed.
"Did you meet Aditya?" The maid nodded.
"His condition is getting worse. His face already has turned deadly pale. Dark blue lines have started to spread over his body."
Meanwhile, Alicia used the teleportation array of the White Lotus guild and teleported to the Royal Castle. After teleporting, she directly went to Julia\'s laboratory. No one dared to stop Alicia as they knew that Alicia. Alicia often hung out with Alicia.
Click!
Opening the door of the laboratory, the goddess of wealth found Aditya lying on the bed with his upper body naked. Next to him, Julia and another cold beautiful woman were working on something.
Alicia ignored Julia and Paige and ran up to Aditya. "Are you alright?" The goddess felt choked while trying to talk. She was having a hard time trying to hold her tears.
"Do I look alright to you? But my wife here is the best alchemist on this planet. I am not worried about anything. I am sure she will make a cure and I will be healed in no time." Little did Aditya know that his joking words were leaving some serious impression on Julia and Alicia who was listening to his words.
Julia who was starting to doubt her abilities regained her confidence after hearing those words. While the first part of his words mainly Alicia sad. She felt Aditya was indirectly rejecting her which made the goddess sad.
"Alicia, I will need your help." Julia had asked Alicia to come so that she can ask for a favor.
"Anything, as long as it\'s within my powers." Alicia was ready to help Aditya with anything in power. If necessary she was even willing to give up all of her wealth. In her eyes, wealth can made be again but if Aditya dies, then he can never be revived.
"I need you to call the goddess of Nature here." Aditya couldn\'t help but raise an eyebrow upon hearing Julia\'s words. Bringing Riya here would mean that three of his wives would be here. \'I guess, getting poisoned does have some benefits.\' Aditya felt it would be the perfect opportunity for the three ladies to meet each other.
