The room was brightly illuminated, and the shelves were stacked with glass bottles containing an unusual colored liquid.

Verena eagerly prepares potion powders. It is a special poison for the Imperial Family to use on the day of the rebellion.

"Azazel, could you find a dry leaves that has the color of brown? Also make sure that they haven't fallen from a tree."

She asked with her attention fixed on the powder. Azazel, who was standing behind her, nodded at her asking as he exited the room.

In the meantime, Oliver was gathering all of Verena's other ingredients. One of the important ingredients are the deadliest petals. After he gathered them, he place them beside Verena.

(To this day, I still find it hard to imagine that Verena and Azazel have been engaged.)

Olivier pondered while double-checking each materials thay could be usable. In the process, He also assisted Verena on making the potion.
