Chapter 974 Although Penny was a low-ranking female official, she had Lisandra's favor and full trust. Just now, it had been her fierce opposition that had swayed others, turning supporters into opponents.

Still, there were a few, like the Diplomatic Affairs Department officials, who supported inviting Starhaven's renowned physician, Sebastian. His reputation had reached Westhaven; when Westhaven's previous king had been gravely ill, scourt officials had even suggested summoning Sebastian for treatment.

However, the late king refused to entrust his life to someone from Starhaven, which was why the idea was abandoned.

The argument raged on. Carissa and Winona, seeing the chaos, quickly moved Sebastian toward the eastern courtyard.

"Stop them!" Penny shrieked, her voice cutting through the tension.

"Letexplain. Listen to me..." Violet stepped forward, grabbing Penny's arm. "We're only doing this for Grand Princess Lisandra. There are maids by her side. If we do anything suspicious, your people will see." "Yes, that's right," Travis added, stepping between them and Leroy. "Don't worry, our physician will just check her vital signs. Where's your royal physician? Hurry up and follow them. It would be better if he was also present.

Javier Glover, a Westhaven royal physician, had already rushed into Lisandra's room. Though there were two medical attendants with Lisandra, the Starhaven group had moved to enter the room. Fearing trouble, Javier immediately followed.

"Let go of me! Let go!" Penny shouted at Violet, her eyes wide with panic. "What do you want to do? Are you trying to hurt me?" "No, of course not," Violet assured her softly, clearly not interested in confrontation. "If you need to go in, we'll go together." "Yes, let's all go in together. We're all here for Grand Princess Lisandra's health," Travis called out loudly.

The Capital Guard and the Westhaven guards began to push and shove. Carissa had given orders not to engage physically, so the Capital Guard, though shoved, could only use their shoulders to counter the pressure.

The scene descended into chaos. Because Travis was dragging Leroy and Violet was tightly holding onto Penny's hand, they were being forcefully moved toward the eastern courtyard.

Carissa and Sebastian had already reached the eastern courtyard. Meanwhile, the maid, Aria, had returned to Lisandra's quarters to tend to her, having stepped out briefly to listen +25 BONUS Chapter 974 in on the ongoing debate to see what decision had been made.

When Aria saw Carissa enter with Sebastian, her eyes lit up. She hurried to meet them and asked, “Have you brought Mr. Dalton with you?" In the bedroom, aside from the medical attendants, there was a female official and a few maids. The female official, seated by Lisandra's bedside, was wiping the grand princess' face. As soon as she saw them enter, she lifted the sheer curtains and stood up with a wary expression.

When Aria spoke, the female official's expression brightened.

"Sebastian Dalton? Did they agree?" She quickly approached them and bowed respectfully. "Mr. Dalton, please check Her Highness' heart rate." Sebastian took the medicine box from Winona and walked over. Aria moved a stool closer so he could sit by the bed.

The sheer curtain was pulled down, and they could see Lisandra lying with her eyes tightly closed through it. It was impossible to tell her complexion.

Aria gently placed Lisandra's hand out for Sebastian, allowing him to check her heart rate. He removed a red cloth from his chest and draped it over Lisandra's wrist before beginning to feel her heart rate.

Everyone held their breath in silence, waiting for his assessment.

After a moment, Sebastian released his hand and looked up at the female official. "Could you lift the curtain a little more so I can see her face and eyes?"

The female official was Yuna, who understood the urgency of the o.m situation and the importance of Lisandra's health. She quickly pulled back the curtain and fastened it on the golden hooks on either side. 1 Lisandra's face wasn't pale, as expected. Instead, it had a strange, unusual flush to it; a deep redness that didn't look quite right.

At that moment, the noise of an argument outside grew louder. The crowd pushing and shoving had reached the door.

"Since everyone's here," Violet called out, "we might as well all go in and have a look.

Penny yanked her hand away from Violet's grip glaring furiously at the latter. Without wasting another moment, she rushed inside.

The others followed closely behind.

Leroy remained outside shouting angrily that they were blatantly disregarding Westhaven's authority.
