Sophia remained silent. Had she known of any other remedies, she wouldn’t have resorted to Katelyn’s help.

Despite her doubts about Katelyn’s approach, she had no alternative but to proceed with the treatment.

Seeing Sophia’s hesitation, Katelyn continued to simmer the herbs until the mixture boiled once more. The sharp, overpowering scent of medicine filled the air.

Katelyn then instructed a servant to transfer the steaming herbal water into a bucket. “Please take this to her bathroom.” The servant acknowledged with a nod. “Certainly!”

Katelyn then signaled to Sophia, raising an eyebrow. “We should begin the treatment now.”

Though skeptical, Sophia responded with a simple nod. “Alright.”

In the bathroom, Sophia held her nose, disrobed, and cautiously stepped into the tub filled with the dark herbal water.

Observing Sophia’s hesitant approach, Katelyn spoke firmly. “The bath works best when the water is still very hot.”

Without further hesitation, Sophia submerged her entire body in the water, clutching her nose tightly. The sensation of the herbal concoction was intense, almost as though it was actively working into her pores.

Sophia’s expression shifted to one of discomfort. She began to feel slightly alarmed. It seemed doubtful that mere herbs could provoke such a reaction, especially after being boiled. Her discomfort was noticeable.

Katelyn watched her closely and advised quietly, “Try to stay still. Pay attention to the sensations as the herbs work, even though it might be painful.”

Sophia’s nervousness began to subside. Realizing that the odd feelings were due to the medicinal properties, she felt more in control. Katelyn then positioned herself in front of Sophia and started to massage her, pressing firmly along her muscles.

Initially, Sophia was uneasy about Katelyn being so close. But as Katelyn continued, Sophia noticed the discomfort in her body starting to diminish.

Yet, a sharp pain began to travel through her veins. Sophia grimaced as the pain intensified. The discomfort escalated, becoming nearly intolerable.

Renowned for her tolerance, Sophia eventually couldn’t bear it and exclaimed, “It hurts!”

Katelyn maintained her pace without faltering, intensifying her efforts. Sophia’s agony grew. She looked up at Katelyn, pleading, “It’s too painful. What’s causing this?”

Katelyn met her gaze and explained gravely, “The pain is a necessary part of the healing process. It’s going to get worse before it improves.” The poison had been implanted in Sophia’s system for a long time. It had intertwined deeply with her bodily functions, and extracting it was proving excruciating.

Katelyn added solemnly, “If you’re finding this hard, the full detox will be even more challenging.” This was merely the start.
