Sharky was also stirred, his entire body stiffening. However, he quickly realized that something wasn't right. Natasha's body was burning up too much, and her body was giving off an unnatural redness.
She was also much more proactive than usual. Having been in similar situations so many times, he reacted quickly and asked, "You've been poisoned?"
Natasha voiced her confirmation, a hint of embarrassment appearing on her face as she said, "The Golden Crow Crown Prince put a despicable drug in the candle."
Sharky reached out to check her pulse. He glowered and cursed, "That damn birdman, I went too easy on him!"
Natasha quickly covered his hand with hers and said, "Don't do anything stupid. He is the fiend races' crown prince, after all, and this is the Fiend King Court. Apart from the human emperor, no one is a match for the Fiend Emperor. I don't want to become a femme fatale who puts you in danger."
