Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts Chapter 1323: Acting

"!!!" Regina was startled because Nathan’s voice suddenly rang directly in her mind. She wanted to say sothing, but the mont she shifted her gaze, she was t with Nathan’s solemn expression.

It looked like the situation was quite bad. She blinked her eyes twice.

Her answer was no. When she was on the front line, she never experienced an assassination attempt.

It was the effort of both the emperor and her father, the forr emperor. Without their protection, she might end up dying because of an attempt from other princes or princesses who wanted the throne.

Now that she encountered this situation, she couldn’t treat it lightly.

’It looks like they are coming for . In that case, let’s play along for a bit. Blinking will give you the answer, but continue moving your mouth. I’ll apologize later for getting you involved in this.’

Regina frowned and blinked her eyes twice, telling him it wasn’t his problem. In fact, she could think of one possible person who did it. And it was the emperor’s arrangent.

So, it was truly not his fault, except for the fact that Nathan had been manipulating the second prince to get his revenge.

"The food itself is not bad, don’t you think?" Regina smiled as if nothing had happened.

"Indeed." Nathan nodded in agreent while adding with his illusion, ’I’m planning to lure them out. But I don’t think luring them out here is a wise idea. It might hurt the soldiers. How about luring them outside the base?’

Instead of blinking, she responded to his idea by suggesting it with her own mouth. She first stretched her hands before saying, "Hmm... Did I eat too much? My body feels a bit sluggish. Do you still have ti after this? How about having a light sparring match with ?

"Even though I have heard about your achievent from the commander, I haven’t seen it with my own eyes."

"That’s..." Nathan didn’t expect Regina to play it like this. He thought for a mont before nodding his head. "Since it’s Your Highness’ request, I can only accept."

"That’s good." Regina smiled. "Let’s see. Since I don’t want any interruptions, how about exiting through the north gate? We should go a bit further so as not to startle the soldiers."

"I understand." Nathan agreed with a calm expression.

In the end, they made so light chat, just like what had happened earlier. At the sa ti, Nathan used the illusion to give her the information about the poison and the fact that she had been cured.

Because they were not using their power to rush outside, it took them fifteen minutes just to exit the gate and even longer to get enough distance from the fortress. This distance should be enough to lure them away from the fortress.

"Since this is not a full fight, we will only use one familiar and use their crystal weapon form."

"Understood." Nathan nodded casually.

"Are you ready?"

"I am—!" Nathan suddenly froze and dropped to his knees.

"Mr. Nathan?!" Regina was surprised. "What happened to you?"

"I..." Nathan bit his lips as his body dropped to the ground. "I don’t know... I can’t move my body..."

"You..." Regina rushed to him to check his condition. "What’s wrong with you?"

Regina looked worried as she checked his condition. The one who replied to her question was not him, but soone else.

A deep voice echoed from the side. "He is poisoned."

"!!!" Regina raised her head. "Who?"

An aged man walked toward them with a smug smile.

"You... You are... Marquis Ellenwood?!" Regina widened her eyes in shock. "What are you doing here? Don’t tell ... You were the one who poisoned him?"

"He shouldn’t have bullied my nephew."

"What?" Regina gritted her teeth. "The second prince was the one at fault. I had heard about this incident as well."

"Of course, you did. After all, you had been investigating him for the past few months."

"What? You had investigated?" Nathan gasped. He didn’t expect to find this piece of information from the enemy.

"I..." Regina panicked. If Nathan distrusted her, he might end up leaving them.

"Hahahaha. Did she not tell you?" Marquis Ellenwood laughed out loud. "Then again, who cares about it? A dead person doesn’t need to know much."

"You..." Regina gritted her teeth. "Do you think you will get away with this?"

"What? Do you want to report my actions to the emperor? Will the emperor do anything to because of a dead genius? Or will he end up favoring the second prince again?"

Regina ford a sword in her hand, pointing it at the marquis. "If you are planning to harm him, I’m going to stop you."

Marquis Ellenwood released his overwhelming ena. "You may be stronger than I am. If it’s a head-on confrontation, I will definitely lose to you. But..."

"!!!" Regina suddenly widened her eyes. She struggled to look down. "This... No way. You..."

"It looks like you didn’t even realize you had been poisoned. The emperor and the forr emperor had protected you so much that you had never experienced sothing like this before."

"You..." Regina gritted her teeth while falling to her knees. "I won’t let you get away."

Ellenwood snorted. "He could only bla himself for harming the third prince. Even if my nephew was at fault, it wasn’t his turn to teach him."

"You bastard. Is this the stance of the empire?" Nathan glared at him.

"What if it is? There’s nothing you can do anymore. All the cloud-repelling devices have been transferred."

"No. This is not the empire’s stance. Don’t believe him." Regina roared as she released all her ena. She used the ena to control her body and threw her sword at Ellenwood.

Ellenwood grabbed her sword with his bare hand. "I expected this. That poison can only relax your muscles, not your ena. But that is enough to make you weaker than ."

"Mr. Nathan. Use all your ena and run away. I will stop him for you!" Regina shouted.

"Do you think he can run away? Kill him!" Ellenwood commanded out loud.

Suddenly, three shadows appeared, surrounding him. Each of them was actually a crystal armor stage summoner.

"You..." Regina used her ena to fly to Nathan, but she ended up getting stopped by Ellenwood. "Move away!"

"No can do. He will die today, and you can do nothing about it." Ellenwood grinned. "Kill him!"

Regina summoned her familiars while Ellenwood did the sa, but their intention was different. Ellenwood wanted to stop her, but Regina wanted to distract him.

At the last mont, a smile ford.
