Honestly, Cherion still couldn't believe this whole disaster was actually happening. Just a couple of hours ago, Iryna was completely fine. She was walking, talking, laughing, just a normal, vibrant person existing in the same space as him.
And now? Now she was lying there, literally freezing from the inside out just to keep herself from dying. It was incredibly shocking and, honestly, just deeply sad to see her like that.
The prince looked like he was one second away from breaking down. His helplessness was so obvious that it felt like the whole room was suffocating under the weight of it.
Even with the entire room drowning in tension, Cherion managed to keep a straight face. Internally, though, he was a walking disaster of adrenaline and frustration.
I can fix this. I know I can. I literally managed to start wiping away Zarius's curse, so a poison like this should not be a big problem, right? I have to save her.
