Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 979

The poison worms hadn't been taken away. They remained in the incense burner, drawn to the bloodied scent of the medicine. They would stay there and feed off the aroma until they died. However, the poisonous worms that had been expelled wouldn't live much longer either.

"They're in the incense burner," Sebastian replied. "You can take it to Her Highness."

Though small, the poisonous worms were disturbing. Javier hesitated before reaching out, his hand hovering in the air.

He finally asked, "Can these worms… enter the human body again?"

Seeing his reluctance, Winona stepped forward. She lifted the incense burner, carefully removed the lid, and presented it to Lisandra.

At the sight of the worms, Lisandra's stomach turned. She fought the urge to vomit as a wave of nausea surged through her. The sight alone was enough to make her feel faint. Her body flushed with heat and her blood surged with anger. She closed her eyes, forcing herself to regain composure. The effort took much longer than she would like to admit.

Sebastian made no move to offer further assistance. He simply said, "Within an hour, the poisonous worms will die. Once they've been expelled, they won't be able to re-enter the body."

"Thank you," Lisandra said quietly.

Carissa gave a subtle nod, then left with the others.

Leroy's temper flared as he demanded, "So, who's responsible for the poisoning?"

His gaze swept over everyone in the room, each person under his scrutiny. "Will you confess, or should I begin my investigation?"

Lisandra placed a hand on her chest, her breath shallow. With a resigned sigh, she motioned for him to leave. "Uncle Leroy, please go outside with everyone for now. Penny, Yuna, and Yasmine—stay."

"Lisandra, don't be foolish," Leroy protested. "We'll find out who did this. Whoever dared to harm your life must be out of their mind!"

"Please just go for now. I need to speak with them privately," Lisandra said, raising her hand. "Aria, see them out."

Aria stepped forward, guiding the group out of the room. Leroy's gaze lingered on Aria's face, then shifted to Penny. His suspicion of her was palpable. She was, after all, the closest to Lisandra. Her proximity made her the most likely suspect.

"Ask what you need. If you don't get answers, I'll handle the questioning myself," Leroy said before exiting the room with the others.
