Reincarnated Princess Wishes To Avoid Death - Chapter 603
The Serpent’s Malice
Even on that day, the Serpent Priestess, Valentina was enjoying tea with Citrina as usual.
“Come to think of it, do you not have any interest in martial arts? I’ve heard that the daughter of Duke Redmoon from the Tearmoon Empire is quite skilled with a sword.”
“No. Rina can’t swing something that heavy.”
“Hehe, have you ever carried anything heavier than a vial of poison?”
In response to Valentina, whose face was adorned with a smile, Citrina gave a curt reply.
“Even with training, I doubt I could match the strength of the formidable guard you have here.”
Citrina cast a brief glance at the Wolf Master standing beside Valentina.
“Oh my, I wouldn’t say that’s necessarily true. You people of the Yellowmoon House, even if you lack physical strength, have mastered the use of poison as a means of killing, haven’t you? It’s the same principle as swordsmanship.”
Valentina smiled elegantly before taking a sip of her tea.
“In terms of raw strength, of course, I’m no match for him. Our powers are different. But I could still cut him to death, because…”
With deliberate grace, Valentina picked up the fork from the table and pricked her fingertip as if to make her point.
“Humans are weaker than steel. No matter how strong they are, a blade can easily pierce through the skin. You can kill anyone by cutting off their neck, arms, or another vital spot. Even Dion Alaia, whom Princess Mia is so proud of, would fall. Of course, a certain level of ingenuity is required. When it’s clear that you are no match for your opponent in terms of strength, you should employ subtle tactics. Avoid direct clashes, such as exchanging blades, and maintain a distance to make it difficult for your opponent to exert force. But that’s something you can achieve only through practice. Frankly, it’s absurd to debate whether someone is good at swordsmanship. In fact, you could simply shoot your opponent with a bow from afar and kill them.”
She sneered, as if swordsmanship were inherently worthless.
“Indeed. Valentina-sama must be very strong. Perhaps that’s why you sent all your guards away?”
Citrina glanced towards the deserted corridor. The women from the Fire Clan had arrived a little before noon. Most of the soldiers guarding the castle had answered their call and disappeared with them.
“Well, you could say that it’s a bad situation. It’s no concern of mine; it’s Princess Mia’s issue. The Fire Clan was lured in by some delicious bait, and their hearts were stolen. She’s quite skilled.”
Valentina then turned her attention to the Wolf Master, Ka Maku.
“Even if he had ordered it using his authority as clan leader or whatever, it probably wouldn’t have worked. Well, I don’t think he would have ordered it in the first place… but in any case, this situation is what you wanted, right, Maku?”
When questioned, Maku turned his attention to Valentina, his expression unchanged.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, though…”
“The love-struck Chief elopes with the Serpent Priestess and abandons his Clan. The Clan becomes resentful and angry at the Chief’s selfishness, loses all sense of obligation to him, and no longer hesitates to seek help from the Equestrian Kingdom. The only problem left is his sister, Aima-san, who has inherited the ability to control wolves. But well, she could be easily subjugated. Depending on the circumstances, you wouldn’t mind taking Aima-san with you, or something like that… Isn’t that what you were thinking?”
The Wolf Master did not respond to Valentina’s words, instead he simply stared at her in silence.
Valentina’s smirk softened into a wry grin. To Citrina, for some reason, that expression seemed full of affection—something reserved for a useless younger sibling.
“Maku, you’re a bit clumsy, you know?”
“Is that so?”
“That’s right. No one would believe someone like you could fall so passionately in love, so most of the clan warriors followed you. You should have at least whispered words of love or shown me some sign of interest. You’re so inept…”
“I see.”
The Wolf Master nodded slightly and then said,
“I rather expected you to refuse, Valentina. Isn’t maintaining a large fighting force against the Serpents’ tactics?”
“Yes, exactly. That perception is absolutely correct. Kunrou-san, who disappeared quickly, is following the Serpents’ ways. A Serpent can show its true power only when it hides among people. But you see, I’m a Serpent Priestess, so I’m a little different from the other Serpents.”
“The Serpent Priestess was a fabricated entity meant to bolster the authority of the Fire Clan Chief. I believe you mentioned something like that.”
The Serpent Priestess nodded in agreement at Citrina’s words.
“You remembered well. That’s admirable, Rina-chan.”
When she heard her name called in such a familiar manner, Citrina couldn’t stop her face from showing irritation.
After several tea parties, it seemed that Valentina had completely figured out all of Citrina’s weak points, and she felt unpleasant about it.
Valentina did not seem to be bothered by it at all and continued with a radiant smile.
“But that’s still a bit of a naive understanding. Authority is authority, even if it’s temporary. It may be a facade, but doesn’t it look impressive from the outside? A threat that must be eradicated at all costs, an enemy that must be defeated even at the cost of one’s life. An opponent one must meet face to face and listen to what they have to say. It’s all an illusion.”
“That’s right…”
Indeed, that was true. Mia and the others did regard Valentina as the core of the Serpents, a dire adversary.
“I’ve been thinking for a long time about how to use the authority of the Serpent Priestess. Honestly, this empty title is more of a hindrance than anything. It makes me want to lie low, but throwing it away would be a waste. So, what should I do? Right now, the biggest obstacle for us Serpents is Princess Mia of the Empire. That’s why I thought I could use it to lure her here.”
“So, you’re staying here even though you’ve lost most of your guards?”
“You seem to have misunderstood. I wasn’t particularly counting on the military strength of the Fire Clan warriors. What I meant by ‘bad’ is that if we let them go too easily, it might become obvious that we have a plan in place that doesn’t require them. That’s the level of bad I meant.”
Having finished her tea, Valentina stood up, brought a fresh teapot, and poured into both her own cup and Citrina’s.
“I wanted to get rid of the warriors to make it easier for Princess Mia to come here. There was no other way. I thought of putting on an act and pretending to oppose their departure, but if I did that, Maku would end up hating me.”
Valentina said, giggling.
“Why do you keep telling Rina these things?”
Citrina looked up and glared at Valentina, not understanding why she was making it a point to tell her about their upcoming plan.
“Well, I wonder why… I’ll tell you once you’ve finished your tea. Now, have one more cup before it gets cold. I’ve made it to just the right temperature. It’s delicious, you know?”
Valentina said, flashing a brilliant smile.
She was being toyed with. With this bitter realisation, Citrina took a sip of tea…
“Huh… what?”
The cup slipped from her hand.
Her vision blurred, and the world around her warped.
She had been careless. She hadn’t even expected it. She couldn’t believe they would poison her at that stage.
“Bel…chan…”
Citrina tumbled off her chair and collapsed onto the floor.
“As I thought, I’m better with swords than with poison. If the quantity is smaller, it takes too long to work.”
“Is that okay? I thought you said you would use her alive…”
“Of course, I intend to ensure she doesn’t die, but whether she survives depends on Princess Mia and whether she can make it in time. If I administer the antidote, she’ll wake up as if it were all a lie. But if I’m too late, she’ll fall into an eternal sleep and eventually die. I’ve already given the antidote, but only God knows if it will reach her in time.”
“Strange for the Serpent Priestess to take the name of God…”
“If they don’t make it in time, they will curse God. If they do make it in time, even then… they will curse God. Those who curse God and hate the world will eventually become Serpents.”
Valentina said, the corners of her mouth twitching into a faint smile.
“Hmm, let’s see. For now, I think I should get Rina-chan changed into something else. Yes, something more shabby and tattered. Oh, I know. I have some clothes that would be suitable for a sacrifice. I’ll dress her in those and tie her to the altar of that evil, heretic chapel. Staging is quite important, after all. Let’s make sure her appearance leaves one wondering what terrible things had been done to her.”
A malicious plot was being hatched right above her head, but Citrina could do nothing to resist.
“But you know, when she was first brought in, she looked somewhat gaunt and haggard. However, since she’s been eating well these past few days, her complexion has improved. She doesn’t look all that convincing, does she?”
“Hehe, it’s true. I had thought she was a more sensitive and delicate girl. But then again, that’s to be expected of someone from the Yellowmoon Duke House. Once she was convinced by my explanation and made up her mind, she ate without hesitation and slept soundly. She’s got quite the nerve.”
In response to the extremely rude conversation taking place over her head, Citrina, the noble daughter of the Duke household, wished to protest firmly, but she could not manage even that.
“Well, even with that level of poison, her complexion will turn pale, so it should be fine. I will set up a proper performance to make them feel the need to instinctively rush over and save her.”
As Citrina’s consciousness began to fade, Valentina’s voice echoed down on her.
“Of course, it’s all just for show. I won’t hurt you any more than this. Because… you are…”
While listening to Valentina’s voice, Citrina’s consciousness slowly sank into the depths of darkness.

The kidneys are tasked with the important position of eliminating any
waste material from the blood as properly as regulating
the levels of water and salt within the body. Your kidneys also regulate blood pressure,
therefore, hypertension can injury your blood vessels and
the filtration system of the kidneys. Issues with the usage of steroids
and the kidneys usually arise by way of using oral steroids (tablet form).
Issues with the usage of steroids and the heart are not to be taken frivolously.
Cardiovascular side effects are a standard incidence amongst long-term and
even short-term steroid customers. The use of some steroids can lead to heart disease leading to coronary heart attack,
heart failure and a decrease within the functioning of the guts.
Research have shown that those that use steroids undergo
from impaired use of the left ventricle of their hearts.
Oxandrin is still offered right now, however beneath the recent firm name, Savient.
Generic Anavar is now produced and offered, with the orphan drug designation expiring, dismantling BTG’s
monopoly. However, because of this previous elevation in value, in addition to
high demand for Anavar and only a few laboratories on the planet producing it, Anavar still stays expensive
right now.
Out of all volunteers, 88% reported experiencing steroid associated side effects – with 40% reporting testicular atrophy as a subjective aspect
impact. This was one of the most reported unwanted effects,
second solely to zits. When you are taking steroids you’re
ranges of T are so high that the hypothalamus sends signals to the testicles telling them you should produce your individual anymore.
One of the widespread unwanted effects when steroids
are mentioned is whether or not they will shrink
your balls. With that said, it’s necessary to
solely buy the Dianabol different D-bal from a reputable source, like CrazyBulk.
D-bal is a totally authorized and protected
alternative to Dianabol that can assist you to obtain comparable
outcomes with none of the potential unwanted effects. This effect is attributed to its androgenic properties, which can stimulate sexual need.
To disguise the taste of alcohol, they combined it with grapefruit juice.
Anavar is a less toxic steroid in regard to unwanted aspect effects,
and thus it is in style amongst beginners and girls. In medicine,
Anavar is even prescribed to kids and is deemed safe.
Deca just isn’t estrogenic; nevertheless, we do see some estrogen-like
unwanted side effects happen because of average progesterone exercise.
Nonetheless, the chance of gynecomastia and bloating is notably much less on Deca.
We have additionally seen hepatic adenomas (although rare) develop from Dianabol use.
These are basically hormone-induced liver tumors,
which can be benign or cancerous in nature. However, the draw back to Dianabol being resistant to such hepatic breakdown is elevated hepatotoxicity.
Dianabol (methandrostenolone) doesn’t simply aromatize; it
additionally converts to 17 alpha-methylestradiol, which is actually a type of estrogen considerably
stronger than estradiol. This conversion, mixed with its
current aromatizing attributes, creates a moderately estrogenic compound.
In comparability, total testosterone by itself has no influence
on body composition; nonetheless, both of these readings will rise significantly when taking Dianabol.
Nonetheless, things are slightly totally different with a deca durabolin cycle.
A lot of steroids have excessive toxicity charges, which means they’ll damage the organs,
especially the liver and kidneys. One of the main the reason why deca durabolin can build large quantities of muscle is due to its impact
on nitrogen.
To study more about these unwanted effects, what Winstrol does,
its benefits, and more, keep studying. That makes them very highly effective at treating circumstances
ranging from asthma to cancer. That’s why, “the benefits versus the danger ought to all the time be thought-about fastidiously,”
says Adam Rivadeneyra, MD, a sports medicine specialist with Hoag Orthopedic Institute.
Clomid can accelerate the restoration of the HPTA, in accordance with Olson et al.
(2012), shortening the interval of low testosterone symptoms (8).
This PCT was created by Dr. Michael Scally, a hormone substitute professional.
This trio of medication has been effective in treating 19 males with low testosterone levels (from the utilization of anabolic steroids).
We have found Anadrol to be one of the most deleterious anabolic steroids for blood pressure.
Something you order on-line or get out of your gym is most probably unlicensed and unlawful.
Generally they are marketed as “authorized steroids”- sadly there
is no such factor. If you are involved that steroid cycles
might have opposed effects, or are simply
wanting to weigh up the dangers – this is the article you want to
learn. If you’re on the lookout for a safe and efficient approach to build muscle mass and power, D-bal is unquestionably
worth considering.

When gonadal function was regular earlier than an AAS cycle,
there was a 90% probability of having regular testosterone levels 3 months after cessation and a 100% chance on the finish
of follow-up (1 yr after the start of the cycle). At the group degree, imply testosterone
ranges returned to baseline 3 months after cessation. Importantly, 37% of the topics
had indicators of abnormal gonadal perform at baseline of which 95% had
a history of AAS use. This may be defined by incomplete
restoration of the HPGA as a end result of recent AAS use or
prolonged or persistent hypogonadism from previous use. A case-control research also means that AAS use leads to a persistent small reduction in testosterone ranges (177).
Nevertheless, current or present unreported AAS use, reverse causality and other factors inherent to a case-control research design make it troublesome to
ascertain a real cause-and-effect relationship.
If you’re going to run a Halotestin cycle, try my full Halotestin (Fluoxymesterone) cycle information. Androgenic side
effects like hair loss and acne are still attainable with
Masteron however are considered delicate in contrast with other steroids.
Masteron is also usable by ladies when cautious attention is paid to dosage to avoid virilization.
The downside of Masteron also pertains to ldl cholesterol and how this
steroid decreases HDL and increases LDL, meaning your levels of cholesterol must be monitored and maintained as properly
as attainable by way of food regimen and cardio train. If you’re going to run a Masteron cycle, take a look at my full Masteron (Drostanolone) cycle guide.
Winstrol will suppress your testosterone a lot, so you’ll want exogenous testosterone in your cycle.
It’s an extremely efficient slicing compound that can deliver
that extremely fascinating hard, dry appearance and is especially useful when you’re already lean and

Moreover, anabolic steroid use is prevalent amongst athletes in any respect ranges,
together with in sports corresponding to bodybuilding, weightlifting, baseball, soccer, biking,
wrestling, and lots of others, as a way of enhancing their efficiency.
Extra concerns particular to female abusers embrace growth of facial hair, male-pattern baldness or
regression of frontal hairline, breast atrophy, coarsening of the pores and
skin, alteration of the menstrual cycle or amenorrhea, enlargement of the clitoris, and deepened
voice. The alterations to the female reproductive system are caused by the bogus enhance in testosterone levels, which are normally present
in females in small quantities.
While testosterone, and infrequently other compounds, carry medical functions, most compounds largely exist for performance enhancement causes.
Primobolan is among the few steroids that’s highly usable by females in either oral or injectable kind.
Whereas men are unlikely to see noticeable mass gains with this
steroid, women shall be more delicate to the anabolic effects and can see some weight will increase.
There are not any estrogenic side effects with Methenolone, making it a good cutting steroid with out
water retention. Nonetheless, sturdy androgenic side effects are potential,
and women are advised to retain a low dose and quick duration of use of this steroid.
Although androgens play a task in estrogen synthesis, their impartial actions also contribute to physiological results (Ceccarelli et al., 2022, Labrie
et al., 2001, Smith and Batur, 2001). In goal tissues, the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme transforms circulating
testosterone into 5-?-DHT, which is predominantly aromatized by the aromatase enzyme into
estradiol (Smith and Batur, 2001). To learn more about testosterone remedy and how it can help you feel like your self again, we suggest partnering with a highly certified doctor in your space
who focuses on hormone well being. This practitioner will thoroughly discuss your signs and perform a selection of checks to assess your hormone ranges before prescribing a
testosterone treatment that works for you. This involves taking a number of doses of steroids over a selected period of time, stopping for a
period, and beginning again. Steroid use is dangerous for several causes, including the high threat of an infection, their illegal status in most locations, and potential for mental habit.
For steroids that should be injected, there is an increased
threat of contamination and an infection.
In basic, DHT derivatives are dry strength builders with reliable and predictable levels
of anabolic activity. Anabolic/androgenic ratios have been evaluated in preclinical animal fashions before transitioning to human use in a scientific setting.
This claim isn’t supported in any of the clinical
data I even have personally seen, so I could be hesitant to imagine that Boldenone can facilitate sufficient Estrogen receptor activation in sensible utility as the base of a cycle.
This article will serve as an overarching introduction to how each
category can be leveraged in the anabolic steroid family tree,
in addition to the general strategy I would take towards compound choice.
Sixty-two % provided postcycle recovery data; nonetheless,
only 12.5% of the sites provided data or suggestions
for non-AAS alternatives. One of the eight sites (12.5%), anabolics.com,
provided non-AAS dietary supplements and didn’t offer any form of testosterone,
synthetic AAS, or ED drugs. Nevertheless, every of their dietary supplements was named synonymously with the well-known synthetic AAS
agent for which their supplement mimicked. A consultant instance is D-ANABOL 25 composed of rhodiola root powder,
fenugreek seed extract, cyanotis vaga extract, inosine, and clary sage leaf extract, permitting
categorization as a pure complement by the USFDA. But the displayed product description of anticipated
outcomes utilizing D-ANABOL 25 is nearly equivalent to the outcomes described with the use of Dianabol, a widely used artificial AAS, according
to a number of forums on the steroid.com web site.
Supraphysiologic doses and extended unsupervised use of AASs have main impacts on customers, affecting all organs and causing cardiovascular, neuroendocrine, neuropsychiatric, renal, gastrointestinal,
musculoskeletal, dermatologic, immune, and hematologic problems.
Testosterone has a major influence on homeostasis of electrolytes, macromolecules, and micromolecules, including alterations
in systemic iron steadiness and erythropoiesis. It has been established that AAS-induced erythropoiesis is mediated by erythropoietin[7].
Most latest research also imply suppression of hepcidin (a
unfavorable regulator of the iron transporter ferroportin) as a mechanism
of androgen-induced enhanced iron absorbtion and incorporation into red blood cells[8].
Some of the most common antagonistic results related to AASs are dyslipidemia, hypertension, hypogonadism and infertility, aggression and mood disorders, addiction, and liver
and kidney injury[9-11].
Long-term dietary supplementation with an antioxidant combination including NAC
normalizes aging-induced oxidative stress, cortical ?-secretase and NEP activity, and A?42 levels,
and in addition has been shown to enhance spatial reminiscence (Sinha et al., 2010, 2016).
NAC attenuates extra oxidative stress-induced PP2A
inhibition (Chen et al., 2008; Raghuraman et al., 2009)
and inhibits Zn2+ activation of GSK3? and tau hyperphosphorylation (Kwon et
al., 2015). NAC additionally converts TTR into its native state (Henze et al.,
2013), which may improve its A?-complexing/elimination capacity.
Thus, different antioxidants may be much more efficient than NAC,
similar to activators of the grasp antioxidant transcription issue Nrf2, which as noted above
is downregulated by irregular sex-steroid ranges, extra oxidative stress, excessive GSK3? activity, and through
growing older (see part 6.3). Nrf2 activators broadly attenuate many
different sources of oxidative stress including superoxide anion and
H2O2 by rising activities of hundreds of antioxidant and detoxifying proteins (Hybertson et al., 2011; Gorrini et al., 2013; Ma, 2013;
Cuadrado et al., 2018).
There was skepticism by the scientific group
that AASs improved athletic performance in sports during which energy conferred a bonus.
It was not until 1987 that the American College of Sports Activities Medication revised its
conclusion that AASs had been ineffective for muscle strength (16).
There is a dosage-dependent effect of AASs on muscle
mass and energy (17, 18).

use of AAS (anabolic-androgenic steroids) may cause a 100 percent increase in LDL ldl cholesterol and a 90% discount
in HDL cholesterol (6). Not only can we see users’ muscle fibers enhance in size, but they also repair faster than before as a result of enhanced restoration levels.
This article does not in any way condone the usage of such medication but it does acknowledge that they’re obtainable.
Of course this doesn’t cease the drugs from being available
on the black market. See your doctor for information and referral, or contact an alcohol and other

It additionally improves your body’s ability to retain nitrogen;
which is crucial for the process of protein synthesis.
Dextromethorphan is misused when it is taken in a method

They also can lower coronary heart rate, respiration, and
blood strain, which, in massive doses, can lead
to dying. Anabolic steroids are misused when they are taken in a way or dose
that’s different than prescribed or taken without a
prescription. Some people who use amphetamines develop a stimulant use dysfunction.
But there is not any evidence that any of those strategies really
cut back unwanted effects and harms from taking anabolic steroids.
The usual listing of unwanted facet effects applies; zits, hair loss, high blood pressure, man boobs and
decreased sexual abilities. In addition your muscle tissue can tear from overuse and you may notice elevated levels of aggression.
Proteins which might be involved in building muscle are upregulated, meaning the steroids ‘up’ the

Some genetically sensitive bodybuilders at our clinic have
experienced zits vulgaris and male pattern baldness on Anadrol.
Such unwanted effects are potential due to it being a DHT-derived compound.
This is the consequence of lowered endogenous testosterone manufacturing.
This effect may be fairly severe; therefore, a
robust PCT protocol is needed to shortly restore normal test

mega doses of Anadrol so as to make further positive aspects,
which may be the case if somebody chooses to
blast and cruise Anadrol. Unlike Anadrol, which causes
results inside the first few days of a cycle, Deca, with its long esters, is slow-acting.
Thus, Deca cycles are sometimes longer than these of Anadrol (usually 8–10 weeks),
as it takes longer to kick in.
For instance, its half-life may be as excessive as
13.three hours within the aged. Thus, if we state the half-life as 10.4 hours, a post-cycle remedy protocol should start fifty seven hours after the ultimate dose.
Over half a century later, numerous women have
used Anavar anecdotally and in research.
