Aalis could not have thrown away the tea even though she knew she was poisoned. Grand Concubine would probably punish her for making the woman feel unhappy.
So he chose to drink the poisonous tea because he knew he still had time to save himself.
"I hear you're good at playing instruments, Aalis. I want you to play it for me." Grand Concubine Dhyanda smiled faintly at Aalis.
"Okay, Your Highness the Great Concubine." Aalis got up from her seat and went towards a stringed instrument in the corner of the open pavilion.
Aalis began to move her fingers over the strings which then made a nice sound to hear. Again Aalis found poison. Every time he plucked the strings, his hands would be scratched and bleed. He kept playing it quietly.
The fingers of Grand Concubine Dhyanda were clenched tightly. He increasingly dislikes Aalis who seems to be deliberately showing her arrogance in front of him.
One song had turned around, Aalis immediately stood up, the strings of the instrument had already turned red. "I hope my music game was enough to entertain His Majesty Grand Consort Dhyanda." Aalis exclaimed still with an unshakable calm.
Aalis returned to her seat, dar@h from her fingers dripping on the floor of the place.
Sadie who had been standing behind Aalis' seat felt very anxious. As he thought, Grand Consort Dhyanda must have had some hidden intent with that tea banquet invitation.
"It is fortunate that Queen Eliosia will have a beautiful and talented daughter-in-law." Grand Concubine Dhyanda gave praise to Aalis with a cheek of insinuating speech.
The banquet went with an uninteresting talk for Aalis. The pain started to strangle Aalis' neck. He crept into his head and made him sweat cold.
The time is getting less now. The poison had spread through his bloodstream.
"Your Highness Grand Concubine, I feel unwell, may I leave this place now?" ask Aalis who is starting to feel weak.
"Ah, your face is very pale, Aalis. You can leave this place. I hope you're cured."
Grand Concubine Dhyanda spoke in a sincere-sounding tone, whereas the woman knew that currently the poison had worked in Aalis' body. He felt satisfied, he smiled the devil inside.
The reply to the person who had humiliated his son was death*an.
Sadie who realizes something is wrong with her employer, she immediately helps her employer to stand up. Stepping slowly, Aalis left the place.
From the opposite direction, Crown Prince Jackson stepped swiftly. He had just heard from the officer who was in the room where Aalis learned that there was a servant from the Grand Concubine's residence who met Aalis.
Crown Prince Jackson's feelings became uneasy. He was afraid that Aalis might be consumed by the deception of the Great Concubine. He was also afraid that Grand Concubine would do something to Aalis.
Crown Prince Jackson's footsteps accelerated when he saw the pale Aalis stepping in aided by the visibly anxious Sadie. What happened to his future wife?
"What's wrong with you, Aalis?" Crown Prince Jackson held Aalis' face. Seeing Aalis who was weak, he immediately checked Aalis' pulse.
"You're poisoned!" Crown Prince Jackson voiced out in dismay and anger.
"Don't make a fuss. Take me to Lotus' restaurant, someone there can help me." Aalis spoke slowly. His esophagus was currently burning.
Crown Prince Jackson doesn't want to waste his time. He took out a small bottle and poured it on his palm. A round-shaped pill came out of that bottle.
Crown Prince Jackson put it in Aalis' mouth. It was the antidote for all the powerful poisons the world had ever made.
Crown Prince Jackson's gaze fell on Aalis's injured fingers. He grabbed it, his eyes were now flushed in anger. "Whoever has done this to you, they shall pay." Crown Prince Jackson will not release his perpetrators.
"You won't be able to punish him, Crown Prince. I'm tired now, I want to go back to my pavilion." Aalis felt her head very dizzy, then the next second she fell unconscious.
Crown Prince Jackson took Aalis' body from Sadie, then he carried her.
Seeing Aalis suffer like this made Crown Prince Jackson furious. Grand Concubine Dhyanda had really already provoked herself.
Crown Prince Jackson would not bother to investigate who was the mastermind of the incident that befell Aalis, The people who were at the tea banquet would think he had time to poison Aalis in the Grand Concubine pavilion, Grand Consort, so there's only one person who can do it. Only Grand Concubine Dhyanda.
Arriving at his residence, he immediately ordered Axela who had just returned home after doing the task he gave.
Kemat*an overshadowed Aalis was gone, but the wound on Aalis' hand needed to be dealt so as not to infect other parts of Aalis' finger.
Seeing from how his wound was, Crown Prince Jackson was convinced the poison was aimed at ruining Aalis' hand function.
