Chapter 22 â The Surging Blood Pill
Nebulaâs room caught me off guard the second I stepped inside. It was far softer than I expectedâeverything about it held an almost delicate touch.
Sheer curtains, drawn just enough to let in the late light, it cast a lavender hue over the walls. A small bookshelf lined one side, filled with neat rows of books and a few scattered trinkets. By her bed, there was a worn chair, its cushions sunken from use, draped with a light, cream-colored throw. There was also a bunny plushie on the bedâ¦
Given her cold attitude, This wasnât a space Iâd have pictured for Nebula Carlstein.
She was sitting on the edge of her bed, watching me with her arms crossed and one brow raised as if daring me to comment on her room.
I did just that. âFirst time seeing your room,â I commented, glancing around with the faintest smirk, taking it all in as I crossed the space and found a seat across from her. âColor me surprised. You like bunnies?â
She didnât respond. She just looked at me, waiting, eyes narrowing as if she was trying to read some hidden motive on my face. â...So? What are you here for?â
âRight,â I replied, clearing my throat and getting to the point. âA pill.â
âA pill,â she repeated, staring at me blankly. âWhat is that supposed to mean?
âWell,â I leaned forward. âItâs called the Surging Blood Pill. Essentially, itâs a temporary boost to a personâs physiqueâit makes oneâs mana surge into the muscles. It can make you stronger, faster, tougher. It was popular back in my⦠well, back in Murim.â I still found it a little strange that I had told her about that world.
Nebula just watched me, arms still crossed, brow still raised. âAnd?â
âWhat do you mean âandâ?â I said, sounding offended, âIâm going to make it, and I need your help.â
She stared at me for a moment and then let out a dry laugh. âYou want my help?â Her tone was deadpan, and her eyes were sharp with irony. âIskandaar, I am not an alchemist.â
âI know. Iâll be doing most of the work, I need help. We can pull it off together.â
Nebulaâs brow stayed arched, but I caught the faintest hint of curiosity in her gaze. âAnd why should I even agree to this? You know, I donât know anything about alchemy, potions, or whatever pill youâre cooking up. It seems to be that Iâm just going to be wasting time.â
âYouâre getting to spend more time with your betrothed. Isnât that enough?â I asked with a shrug, and she blinked, her face going a little red. She opened her mouth to counter, but I spoke over her.
âJokes aside, you donât need to know everything about alchemy,â I said, leaning back a little, keeping my gaze level with hers. âIâll handle the specifics. I have the recipe, I just need to master it, but I need a Blood Mage I can trust by my side to do that fast. Besides, what weâre about to do here, Nebula⦠is going to be significant.
