Chapter 222: The Prince has been poisoned

Archi was getting ready for the day’s work. He had been assigned to guard the inner courts of the palace, and he thought that to be pleasant. He said a goodbye to his roommates and set out to the palace.

Last night, after the meeting with Aria, he had gone to grab some wolfsbane, ground it into a powder infused it with silver dust, filled it into a jar, and took it along with him to the palace.

The weaker Oberon was, the easier it would be for him to kill him.

He had soon arrived at the king’s court, "Well, let the fun begin," he chuckled.

He guessed his mother would be in the kitchen, so he headed straight to the kitchen. Unfortunately for him, he bumped into Zane.

"Where are you going?" Zane snorted.

Archi sighed deeply, he didn’t want his mood ruined today of all days, "To the kitchen," he replied simply.

"Oh good, go supervise those cooks for a while, till I return. I am going to grab something," he ordered, then walked out on him.

"Damn you," he muttered under his breath, heading to the kitchen.

He arrived in the kitchen, and at once, his eyes began to look for hi mother, but she was nowhere to be seen.

"Is she not supposed to be here?" He scratched his head.

He noticed one of the cooks preparing tea, and walked over to her.

"Hello madam."

She cast him a glance, "Hello, how can I help you?"

"I was wondering, who is the tea for?" He cleared his throat.

"Oh, the King, and his nephew likes to have their early morning tea, so I am preparing theirs."

She poured the already prepared tea into a tea cup. One was bigger than the other.

"I assume the bigger tea cup is for the King?" He smirked.

She nodded, "Correct," she smiled.

He nodded, "Alright then," he placed his hands behind his back, walking back to the door.

The maids who passed through the door in or out, would bow slightly, greeting him, he would also return their greeting, he was such a gentleman.

The cook who was preparing tea, stepped out. Archi saw this as an opportunity, walked over to where she was preparing tea, hurriedly emptying his deadly mixture into Oberon’s cup of tea. He was looking around so no one would notice him.

"Hello?" He saw the cook behind him, causing him to flinch.

"Hello," he put the jar of the mixture back in his pockets before she could notice, "Well, why are you here again?"

"Supervising obviously. It would not be nice if anything strange was out into the King’s tea right?"

She twisted her lips, her eyes were squinting at him suspiciously, "Hmm, I know that, but none of the guards who come here to supervise come directly to where we prepare thier meals."

"Sorry, I am new here, I just wanted to make sure," he shrugged his shoulders.

She raised her brows in realization, "Oh, okay. That is fine, but Incase of next time."

He nodded, walking back to the door. When he got there, he released a breath he didn’t know he was holding.

"She is smarter than I thought she would be," he mumbled.

"You can leave now," he heard Zane’s annoying voice behind him.

He turned to see Zane holding the door post, a small pipe in his mouth.

Archi scrunched up his nose in disgust, "Ugh," he walked out.

Hopefully, she’d take it to Oberon soon, then the effect would begin immediately.

Just then, Klaus came into the kitchen, his face was all sweaty, sloppy. It was obvious he had been running for quite a while. He greeted Zane, walking over to where his tea was supposed to be.

"I can not find water," he mumbled, looking around for water, "Oh my," his eyes fell on Oberon’s tea cup. His had been slightly pushed to the side, and from where he stood on the other side of the counter, he could not notice it at first.

"I guess I will make do with this first," he hurriedly uncovered the Oberon’s tea cup, gulping it down before he could even notice his tea cup.

"Phew, it tastes different today," he shook his head.

He gently placed it back in the counter, turned on his heels, but then the burning sensation began.

His mouth, and throat was on fire, he held his throat, and began to choke. His eyes were retreating into their sockets, it was also getting difficult to breathe. He felt nauseous, his whole body had been seized by the plant’s toxin, so he fell to the ground, paralyzed.

Zane who noticed this, ran over to him immediately, "Prince Klaus!" He held him.

Klaus was on the floor, his body was not moving, while he was bleeding at the mouth.

Zane sniffed in, he could smell the remnants of the wolfsbane.

"Wolfsbane," he muttered, "Wolfsbane, he has been poisoned with wolfsbane!" He screamed.

His yells attracted some of the maids who came running back, "What happened?"

"The prince has been poisoned with wolfsbane!" He yelled.

All of them covered their mouths in shock, "What? Who would do this?"

More, and more maids kept running towards them, all of them curious at what was going on. Word was immediately going around that someone had poisoned the prince.

Unfortunately, it got to Archi’s ears. He creased his brows, "Prince has been poisoned?" He held his chin.

Then it hit him, the prince had drunk the tea meant for Oberon!

"Ah damn it!" He cursed, running back to the kitchen as soon as he heard it.

Zane was already carrying Klaus in his arms, heading to Dora’s room. Archi got closer, trying to see what effects it had on him.

The boy’s skin was already so pale, it seemed all of his blood had been drained.

"Oh no," he balled his fists, "This was not supposed to happen," he cursed under his breath.

"What happened? How was he poisoned?!" He yelled at Archi.

"How am I supposed to know?!"

"Oh for goodness sake, I asked you to supervise! What exactly were you doing?! Are you this useless?"

Archi balled his fists, he had had enough.
