"There is bad news from the Southwest Province. Lily Ivory the servant of Her Royal Highness the Princess ..." The servant stopped his sentence in the middle.
"He why? Lily's fine, right?" Floretta exclaimed and ran towards the door.
"Lily is critical. The poison in his body had already spread to his heart and liver. He is currently on his way to the capital" said the waiter.
"God! Less than they. This must be the work of the members of the palace council, right?" Floretta's heart heard the news. Although only a servant, Lily was already considered as her own best friend.
"Dear, relax. Don't panic yet. Think also of your health that is recovering," said Alden rubbed the back of the wife to be more calm.
"Honey, he can still be saved, right?" floretta said expectantly.
"I will order the best doctors of the kingdom to take care of him. May he be well" said Alden, calming his wife. "But you don't go out until it's safe" the man warned.
"I understand," the woman answered obediently.
"And you too. If until someone else knows the princess is here, then your body will end up as wolf food in the deadwood forest" Alden threatened the servant.
"Ba-well, Yang M-noble," replied the waiter nervously.
"Flo, you should be careful. Don't just run and meet someone. Did you forget that a few hours ago you almost got killed?" Alden grumbled at his wife.
"Yes. Ii'm sorry. My blood went up, when I heard Lily's name," Floretta said regretfully.
"Flo, even though Lily was just a servant, but her life was as precious as the nobles. I won't ignore it" Alden said.
"Thank God then. It is only fitting that His Majesty the King and Queen choose you to lead this country" Floretta replied, feeling proud of her husband.
"So you don't think I deserve to be king?"
A voice emerged from the side of the window, along with a puff of black smoke that turned into the figure of a fanged man. His clothes were all black, with glowing red eyes. This is the figure of Raven when meeting Floretta for the first time.
"Sister? How come it's here?" alden was surprised.
"Don't throw that waitress out in the deadwood forest. I came here because I smelled Floretta's blood. Especially with this extremely weak protective magic?" raven Cibir.
"Huh? Weak one? I made this magic with all my might" Alden protested in no way to be insulted like that.
"Yes, but the truth is that. A single level mage would definitely be able to break through it," Raven replied. "Flo, did you just drink poison? The smell of your blood is not good" said Raven with a sharp look.
Floretta turned her eyeballs the other way. This was the first time he had ever met the prince again, after he had stopped being Prince Raven's personal servant.
"No, kok. I don't drink poison, just inject a little" Floretta said.
"Well, that's why I came here. I don't blame your wife."
Raven walked to the side of the window and looked outwards. The atmosphere in the palace courtyard looked calm as usual. Nothing is suspicious.
"But we must be vigilant, the members of the palace council have already started to enter the palace and replace the servants secretly. If we let our guard down, they can topple us at any time" said Raven a few moments later.
...🦇🦇🦇...
"Fuck up!"
Erlina nodded slowly. The glass in his hand broke into pieces.
"What's wrong?" Novac was surprised to hear his usual meek brother cursing. He turned to the side, and put down the pen he was holding.
"Someone broke through the magic circle I created. There's no way Alden Black could have gotten through. He is a vampire with weak magic" Erlina said furiously. "Who did it? There's no way Prince Raven, is there? Or is there a betrayal between us?"
"Traitorous? Why do you think that's it?" ask Novac.
"Because only we know where the weak man is hidden. I also felt, someone had closed the wound on his hand silently," Erlina said again.
"You're guessing too much, Erlina. Your guess about the family background is also wrong, right? You'd better look straight there" Novac told his sister.
"Ck," Erlina clucked in annoyance, as the older sister brought up the matter again. "I have complete proof, Brother," Erlina replied in a high tone.
"Haaah, why does the smell and taste of his blood look like a lower class man? Even the Green family, if given high-quality food, will not change the taste of blood" Novac said.
"Well! That's what I mean. Back when we had a meeting with him, we could all smell the pure scent of blood from him, right?" reply Erlina loudly.
"Ah, right too. Was he taking certain medicines, so his blood taste changed again? Or ..."
"Atropa belladona flower poison!"
Novac Amethyst and Erlina Amethyst compactly exclaimed. They exchanged glances and spoke in eye language. One mystery has been solved.
"Do you still have the woman's blood sample?" ask Novac.
"It looks like it's still in the glass bottle. Ah, I need to get her to the lab quickly" Erlina said. "All right, I checked the state of the dungeon" he murmured again.
