Rose used her power and tossed the blade aside quickly.
How had she so Quickly know that she was about to be discovered.
Had she heard their conversation?
Something sinister was going on in her palace and she wanted to know what.
"Your majesty." Bernice said.
"What were you trying to do?" Rose said as she gently drew nearer to her
Bernice was in her forties and Rose had known her for over twenty years to now realize that this very woman whom she had trusted with her life, was responsible for poisoning her for over twenty years.
"Nothing your majesty." Bernice smiled uncomfortably.
"I found out that I have been poisoned for over twenty years." Rose said as she now stood facing Bernice directly.
"Poison?" Bernice said confused. "That’s not possible your majesty."
"Are you calling me a liar?" Rose asked her, her eyes dangerous with wary and questions.
She could see right through Bernice’s lying tongue and she angrily wondered how she had never seen it before.
Bernice was sweating despite the harsh wind of cold snow.
"Of course not my lady." Bernice said quickly.
"Sit down!" Rose said with such force that Bernice quickly sat down at the stool behind her.
Rose now towered over the shaking of servant.
"Now tell me, why have I been poisoned for over twenty years. Why have you been poisoning me." Rose asked.
Bernice started to stutter and if he the back of her hair.
"Answer me before I burn you with flames." Rose hissed at her.
"Y... you... your majesty." Bernice stuttered. "There is no way I could try to poison you. I’m your meal and wine taster."
"So why have I been poisoned all this while, and you are still alive and well. You have never been sick. Tell me Bernice." Rose said.
"I think that just shows to you that you are not being poisoned. If you say that you have been poisoned this entire time thence I should be dead." Bernice stated.
Rose was filled with such disgust that she wanted to spit on her.
The little harlot was playing in her face and Rose felt stupid.
She wanted to slash and kill.
For all the terrible things that had happened to her.
From all she had seen, she now knew that the woman was right.
She had been poisoned this entire time and her little daughter was dead.
Gone forever from this world and never to come back to her.
She looked down angrily at Bernice who shook like a leaf.
"So you are telling me that you did not aware that I have been poisoned this entire time. Right?" Rose asked the girl.
Bernice nodded. "Yes your majesty. I had no idea."
Rose smiled and then used her magic to make sure Bernice remained Adamant.
She felt her body go weak.
She had not used her magic or even turned to her wolf in a long time.
There had been no threat to her life and there had been no need.
