The Demon Queen Reduced to a Janitor?!

Medeia bit her lower lip, avoiding his gaze. "But I couldn't think of another answer. I mean, what else was I supposed to say? 'Conquer the world with my unlimited power?'"

She was an expert at lying to people, but lying about something imaginary just wasn't her thing.

Trying to find an excuse, she added, "Besides, we don't even know if the other serum is safe. So, my answer wouldn't have affected the final outcome anyway."

Lucian fell silent for a moment before nodding. "You're right. I'm sorry, you didn't do anything wrong."

He took a deep breath, then added, "But I think taking the serum is the only proof we need to show the guards to convince them we've completed Doctor Shuri's test."

Without hesitation, Lucian grabbed a pen from the desk and transformed it into a syringe needle.

"Give me your hand." He gestured for Medeia to extend her arm, and she complied without question.

Then, without warning, he stabbed the needle into her arm.
