Becoming The Villain's Family

Chapter 156

At first everything went smoothly.

As a medical powerhouse, Garcia spurred the development of the treatment and the research progressed quickly without any hindrance. Those who underwent clinical trials were finally cured.

“Okay, now we really can all take it!”

Everyone was not suspicious.

On the day the medicine was distributed in the capital of the Kingdom of Leter, the King even held a banquet for Veronica and Garcia.

“It was all thanks to the believers that we were able to develop a cure. Although there was a stigma, that must have been an ordeal for today as well.”

After a short congratulatory speech, Veronica showed a strange smile.

This proves it. As soon as she restores her honor, she will gain immense fame.

And she will stand tall as the new symbol of Garcia.

However…….

“KYAAAK!”

At that moment, something happened.

The people who thought they had fully recovered with the treatment had extreme symptoms. The people who received the treatment had seizures and collapsed, vomiting blood.

“Hey, hey! Get a hold of yourself!”

“Gasp, not breathing…”

“Dead…?”

Screams erupted from all over the hall where the banquet was held.

Some of them looked at the people who had passed out in surprise, and urgently turned to Veronica and asked.

“Sa, saint, what should we do?”

“That, that.”

Veronica, not expecting anything like this, stuttered. She turned to the Cardinal with desperate eyes.

But he ignored Veronica as if it was only natural.

“The Queen! The Queen has collapsed! Call the doctor!”

The side effects were seen all over the capital. The situation grew out of control.

Fortunately, the first treatment was distributed only in the capital.

“It’s not a cure. It’s just temporarily pushing your life force to the limit, making it look like you’re completely healed.”

Belatedly, doctors expressed their opinions on the treatment. Public opinion was turned upside down in an instant.

“Then, maybe the Grand Princess was right?”

“Didn’t the Saint run an orphanage herself to use as a test subject?”

“I can’t believe it. That such a person is a saint. We must remove her from her position immediately!”

“No, that’s not enough. She should be executed for deceiving the faithful!”

Garcia immediately knocked off Veronica, who was falling out of control.

“All these incidents were committed by the authority of Saint Veronica.”

It was to prepare for such a situation that they put her in front in the first place. In case things go wrong, to put everything on that person.

But despite her abandonment, Veronica did not panic and insisted to the end.

“No, it’s just an accusation! A cure can be developed, and it’s only a failed first attempt.”

She politely apologized for the incident in a timid tone, and then explained to stop the hasty judgment.
