Umaj couldn't help but stare down at the contents written inside the book. He has been researching poison all his life and has encountered many items. He collected them and stored them in his medical hall before examining each of them. Besides, his family has secret books about poison that contain various species of poisonous plants which made his family generation famous and respected. But what he has seen today was something so unexpected that he could ever imagine in his life.

Though he has seen many poisonous plants and has experience with them, this world is vast and there's so many mysteries that still need to be disclosed. What he and his family generation has was a small part of it. And there are many unknown facts surrounding the world. Just like the current situation and the thing in his hand. Though the black covered book does not look like something official or well known, the contents inside it were more valuable than those medical books in the store.

The pages of the book somehow worn out but the writing inside was still fresh like it was just written not a long ago. His eyes raked through the contents inside. The first page was a description of poisons and it's type. Then the second page goes through the names of the plant and samples of it. Then the third page went for the poison made from the plants and listed as per it's rank.

Shifom

Araklya

BellShia

His eyes stuck on the third word. He always thought BellShia is something incurable because of the lack of herbs. But what amazed him was BellShia was listed as third rank in the book and the two other names above it is something he has not heard so far. He wondered how a girl who is half age could give such information when his whole generation was into it. He focused on the third poison and turned the pages to get the full details.

BellShia

Umaj kept looking at the page as he couldn't move his eyes from it. How, how come the most impossible poison was detailed on the page like it's just some normal kind. If it was the other day, he would have felt like he got a lifetime's worth of treasure but now the only thing he could feel was shock. Forcefully he looked at Aiyara.

"Where did you get this?"

Aiyara narrowed her eyes "wow, you still have free time to ask me this nonsense? Of course the master gave me this to study. I couldn't understand some points so I copied it down word by word to study later. That book in your hand is my first copy"

Umaj blinked.

"Master poison, what is it?" Manik frowned at him.

Umaj turned his attention towards him then flashed a grin "your majesty we have got the cure of BellShia"

"What?" Everyone was shocked.

He nodded "yes, it's just...." He turned to look at Nandini "her majesty knows how to help herself in such a critical moment" there's nothing but admiration in his tone.

And respect.

"Is this really….?" Vaibhav couldn't help but stare at the thing spread on the tray. He shook his head again. Not only him but the royal members are already present in the room witnessing the treatment of the poison except Maya and Suhal who has another responsibility to take care of.

Umaj nodded as he looked at pages again. Beside him Atropa was making paste of the herbs listed in the cure list.

"Do you really need to use it?" Vaibhav asked again.

"This method" Umaj paused before sighing "is something I have never tried so I can't give any explanation about it. I am just following the steps and the owner of this method is her" he pointed towards the woman lying on bed with her eyes closed.

"I am not doubting her," Vaibhav shook his head. He couldn't because he had seen her using a kind of method to treat his legs. That was something he had never seen before. Such different yet very effective techniques are something only his sister in law came possess. The more he thinks about it, the more reasonable it is.

"Paste is ready" Atropa placed the bowl on a small table before Umaj. A thick weird scent filled the air.

"We need to add the last ingredients," Aiyara said as looked at the tray. There was a small box on the tray and inside the box were the last ingredients of the cure .

"The venom won't affect my sister in law right?" Vaibhav asked.

"How will I know?" Aiyara frowned. "This is the first time I am making something so strange. I just studied but there was no actual practice for it. But my master had written it then it's true"

"But-" Vaibhav started to say but cut off my Umaj.

"Don't worry. Her majesty's body is already already venomous so it will be like a cure poison with poison situation"

"We have to start it," Aiyara said, not wanting to continue any more conversations. She is always impatient and doesn't want to waste her time on nonsense things.

Master Monk looked at her daughter then sighed inwardly. He don't know how this arrogant girl becomes a obedient slave before Nandini. Him, as a father, couldn't control her like Nandini did. Even when Aiyara is angry and argues a lot, only one look of Nandini is enough to quiet her down without putting any effort. Sometimes he really thinks he needs to learn some tricks to control his own daughter from Nandini. After Nandini got up he really needed to talk about this matter with her.

The treatment process is 3 days long. For each day they will make the medicine freshly and apply it to cure the poison. Vaibhav watched the poor little green snakes being tortured like hell. They would struggle at first and if it becomes hard Aiyara would smash their heads without any warnings. That girl does not have any sense of emotions. It was quite hard for everyone to wait for three days. First they don't know if the treatment will work or not. Second was Nandini is pregnant the way her poison was spreading it could harm the child growing inside of her. And third no one can guarantee the safety of the mother and child and could only wait for the results.

On the 4th day, there was another chaos in the Rose Palace. Early in the morning when Atropa went to clean Nandini she screamed in horror. Everyone gathered in the room only to witness that the pale white skin of Nandini suddenly turned green. Chityakanta almost fainted due to shock while Manik stood there with a blank face without any words. No one knows what happened suddenly that on the 4th day it turned into like this.

"Is there any mistake in the proces?" Aiyara's body trembled as she asked.

"How could that be?" Umaj shook his head "we have been following the method as per written in the book. Besides there's no side effects written in it" he couldn't understand why the skin colour changed suddenly. He checked Nandini's wrist and felt weird.

"What happened?" Manik asked finally.

"It's strange, the pulse is behaving weirdly," Umaj replied.

"What do you mean?" Manik asked again.

"I couldn't feel the pulse at first then it appeared and now it's gone again" Umaj replied but still concentrating on the feel of the pulse.

"How could this happen? Such a strange pulse" he shook his head and placed her hand back on bed.

"Master poison is the treatment working?" Chityakanta asked. Her tone was rough from all crying and sobbing.

Umaj turned to look at her "your  highness I don't know. This kind of method is not something I have experienced before. But because of the lack of time, we could only try our best"

Chityakanta fell back on the couch and sobbed. The atmosphere turned heavy with silence. Suddenly Ageratina pointed towards Nandini and yelled.

"Look" everyone focused their attention on bed and saw the Greek skin started to turn into normal. Once the green colour faded completely it was replaced by beautiful pinkish white skin. The new colour was fair and looked totally normal. The breathing become stable and then they heard a slight groan which made  everyone in the room jump in shock.

"Why is it too noisy here?"
