After a dizzy spell, the witcher and Triss returned to Vizima City, appearing in the sorceress's home.
This wasn't Guilliman's first time using a portal; he had used one before when accompanying Triss to investigate the plague.
The magic only caused him a slight headache.
He wouldn't be like a certain white-haired witcher, who was afraid of using portals and almost threw up every time he used one.
Guilliman truly yearned for this miraculous magic, even considering it one of the most practical spells in the magical world, a must-have skill for any time traveler (transmigrator).
Magic that allows one to travel all over the world in the blink of an eye already involves the principles of space and time, and is clearly much more advanced than destructive magic like fireballs and lightning.
Fortunately, it wouldn't be long before he could share in Alvin's Elder Blood lineage.
This bloodline was much stronger than portals, even capable of tearing through space and teleporting to other worlds, which was incredibly exhilarating.
After about fifteen minutes, the two rushed to the Royal Palace and, after receiving permission from King Foltest, whose face was ashen and filled with anger and intense killing intent, finally saw Princess Adda lying on her bed.
At this moment, the princess's face was pale, her vibrant red lips were bloodless, and thick bandages were wrapped around her bare chest; she lay on the bed with a deep frown, appearing exceptionally fragile, seemingly still in a coma.
Beside her, Margareta seemed to have completed the initial treatment.
Upon seeing Guilliman, the headmistress's face unconsciously revealed a hint of a smile.
Since their first encounter, the two had met seven or eight more times, establishing a quite familiar relationship; if it continued to develop, a romantic relationship would not be surprising.
However, before she could greet the witcher, Triss urgently asked:
"Margareta, what exactly happened?"
"Who assassinated Her Royal Highness, how are the Princess's injuries? What on earth happened?"
Facing Triss's three consecutive questions, Margareta calmly replied:
"I don't know what happened; I wasn't there at the time."
"However, according to Keira, several assassins infiltrated the palace, disguised as servants and maids, and took the opportunity to approach the princess and assassinate her."
"Fortunately, the princess has excellent physical fitness, and after the striga curse was mostly lifted, her body became more agile, allowing her to hold on until the guards came to rescue her."
"However, the princess's chest was still stabbed by a dagger containing potent poison."
"Luckily, the princess still has a portion of striga bloodline, which provides some resistance to poison, and her physique is strong enough to endure until I came to save her."
"Although her life has been saved, the princess is severely wounded, and her mind and soul are greatly depleted; she is now in a coma, and no one knows when she will wake up."
At this point, Margareta first made a gesture of helplessness, indicating she had done her best.
Then, she winked at Guilliman, saying suggestively:
"However, if anyone has a way to heal the princess's weakened soul, then Princess Adda should wake up very soon."
At such a hint, the witcher could only roll his eyes inwardly.
While he didn't mind sacrificing a bit of his life essence to save Princess Adda, with whom he had a good relationship.
But if he were to suggest to the enraged Foltest at this moment that he wanted to 'hit it' with his comatose daughter.
The furious king might first find a few strong men to 'hit it' with him.
Hearing that the princess's life was saved, Triss breathed a sigh of relief, but the news that the princess didn't know when she would wake up made her mood heavy again.
This was a turbulent time for the Northern Kingdoms, and as Temeria's apparent sole heir.
Princess Adda's safety was tied to many things; it was no exaggeration to say that it was a pivotal matter that could affect the world's pattern (structure).
And as Triss, who had been in the Temerian court for nearly a decade, she had affection for Princess Adda and King Foltest and did not wish for them to suffer misfortune.
The red-haired sorceress was silent for a few seconds, then asked Margareta:
"What happened to those assassins? Have the culprits been caught?"
"Did you find out who the mastermind was?"
Margareta shook her head upon hearing this, sighing, and said:
"The three assassins were all ordinary people; after failing the assassination, they immediately took poison and committed suicide, leaving no opportunity for interrogation."
