"I beg your pardon?" Queen Rose exclamation in shock.
"Yes." The woman informed her. "Your tea is a very dangerous herb made with magic. Someone with magic has meant for you to die."
Rose was so taken aback by the news that she believed she was going to faint.
Someone in her kingdom had been poisoning her?
For how long she wondered.
"How long?" Rose demanded unable to control her emotions.
She was furious.
"How long have you been feeling ill?" The woman asked her.
Rose thought about it for a while .
When she was a child she had never been sickly.
It had been after she had ascended the throne.
After she had her daughters .
"After I had my girls." Rose said tears of rage burning at the far corners of her eyes. "After I gave birth I had been feeling ill. I didn’t tell anyone because I believed that it wasn’t quite serious until my daughter went missing. It got worse."
"With the way you have consumed it." The woman said. "You should have been dead. But your powers as Queen Luna saved you and your daughters in your womb too. That’s why you didn’t die. But if you hadn’t found out and continued taking it, you would have eventually died."
Rose’s mind was reeling.
Spinning from the effect of the words.
So her illness had been from poisoning.
Someone in her own Kingdom had been poisoning her.
"Who did this?" Rose demanded in rage.
The woman shook her head. "I am afraid, I don’t know. You would have to trace who regularly makes your tea."
Since her parents shipwreck, strict rules have even placed to prevent something bad from happening to Rose.
There had been more security and her meals had been monitored.
She had had only one meal taster all her life.
It was one of her most trusted seven at a and she had been with her from the moment, the laws had been enforced on her.
"Your meal taster." The woman said. "If she was ever tasting your meal, then she should be dead a long time ago." freewebnoveℓ.com
"She is alive." Rose said. "She doesn’t look ill. She has only aged like everyone else."
"You need to understand me." The woman said. "You are alive because you carried three powers of the royal wolf blood. Yours as you were still Queen and then you that of your daughters. That is the only reason why you are still alive to this day. If you had continued taking them for a year plus you would have been dead."
Rose felt betrayed ultimately betrayed.
Bernice had planned to kill her, all this while.
But why?
She had never done anything outright to hurt her, so why would she do this.
"And if this servant of yours is just a mere maid." The woman said. "Then I don’t think she did this alone. The magic to make such a poison, is very difficult. Someone must have been practicing for years and very experienced."
