CHAPTER 76
ZENEVIEVA
I sent the chief maid away first, I detested her but she kept coming back and acted so nice like she was the sweetest thing ever and I kept yelling at her to get the fuck off from the kitchen while I fixed something for the Queen.
I prepared the meal with enough vegetables and got it all ready and wheeled it to the Queen myself. The excitement on her face when she saw me was euphoric as she urged me to join her but I politely declined.
"Thanks a lot."
"It's nothing, I'll do more. I'm sorry about your health."
She laughed.
"You worry a lot, I'm perfectly fine. Nothing is wrong with me."
"Tyson said you had some health issues."
"Forget him, anyway how is he treating you? Does he still hit you? Is he going overboard with.." She asked in worry and I smiled.
"Not at all, he's strangely nice. I'll be right back, please enjoy your meal."
"Of course I will, breakfast in my room is much better than the royal table. Thanks Zenevieva "
I smiled.
She looks excited at the little gesture of cooking, why didn't I think of doing that all the time?
I went back to my room and carried the little syrup that contains the king's medicine.
He's been taking the herbs for the past few days. It's time for him to take the syrup which would send him a speedy recovery but to my dismay it's not there!
Not again!
Who the hell came to my personal room to touch my stuff when I had just spent three nights in Tyson's room.
I searched everywhere but it was futile and tears slipped my eyes.
Getting that stuff right now was near impossible, I extracted that medicine from a rare fruit in Green Pack.
I was really excited when I saw it as it was the only fruit capable of healing malfunctioning organs.
Going back to the Green pack and coming back would take almost the whole day.
I need to see the King, it was due for his medication but I don't have the medicine.
I'll definitely get another one.
I reached his chambers and saw him sitting down.
I bowed and greeted him at first sight and he nodded.
"Welcome…I almost wanted to take a walk." He told me and I was surprised.
"Really, do you feel that strong to do that?"
I asked as excitement ran through my voice and he nodded.
"That's good, you should totally do that often My King. Let's get you your herbs and a brain massage."
"I thought you said that was the final stage of the herbs and we'll move to another medicine today?"
"Yes, but unfortunately I couldn't take the medicine. I'll get it once I'm done with you now."
He nodded and lied down while I went to get the herbs in the fancy flower pot.
I wouldn't dare bring it out from his room for it was almost sacred for me. I prepared it in his room so it had to be in his room.
I poured a little in his cup and I stretched it to him and he took it eagerly.
I just couldn't be grateful enough to the moons for granting this wish of his discovery in my life.
"Your breathing seems to return to normal now than the usual heavy breath." I noticed and he nodded.
"Yes, I noticed that too. Do you think it's because of the herbs?"
"No, I think it's because of the fact that you don't worry too much as before and you have-"
"Argh!" He winced and my eyes shot up in surprise.
"Sorry, lie down a little bit."
"No, it's not that…. it's"
Another sharp yelp escaped from his lips and I became alert at once and took the herb and tasted it.
No…no no….this is not my herb!!
This was something else.
I rushed outside at once to get some leaves to stop that strange pain he's feeling, as my whole body shook in fear and confusion.
I came back to meet him only to see him lay limp on the bed.
I shook him vehemently but it was as if he was dead.
No!
I grinded the leaves so fast and forced the juice it in his mouth waiting and praying for responses as tears rolled down my eyes.
What the heck is going on?
The King's door barged open and I jumped in fear.
Tyson came over to me and slapped me fiercely.
"What have you done to my mother?" He yelled and my eyes shot up like saucers and stared at him .
"What happened to the Queen?" I trembled in fear.
"What happened to my dad?" He gasped and pushed me aside and walked closer to his father and I bit my lips.
I'm being set up.
Fuck!!
It's so evident that they can't even try to hide it that they set me up.
"What the heck did you do to him?" What's this?" He roared and flinched.
"Tyson…I don't…know but he will be fine, don't worry "
He sent a fierce slap across my face that my lips cut.
"Did you poison him too?"
I gasped.
"What? No way!
"You poisoned my mum!" He slammed and I shook in disbelief.
"I didn't!" I cried out in horror.
Why would I do such a thing?
"Take her out of here and call the physician and other healers fast! If anything happens to my parents, you're all dead!" He orders and walks out in fear while I shake my head in disbelief, trying to wrap my head up with all that's going on.
I was being dragged to god's nowhere when I saw the Queen being wheeled out of her room, unconscious.
Goodness!!
I wriggled away from the men holding me and rushed to see her but I was hit so hard that I fell in pain.
"What the hell is going on? How dare you touch her!" Tyler came forward and flushed them off me.
"Orders from the-"
"Orders from bullshit cause I'll break your jaw if you dare touch her again!" He yelled and picked me forward.
"What the heck is going on? The King collapsed and the Queen was poisoned. Don't tell me it's because of you Zenevieva?"
He was so worried that I bursted out crying in pain and he cursed.
Gosh! Why was I so naive and carefree, the warning signals were there but I became blind to it and walked carelessly.
"I didn't do that to them Tyler!"
"I know but that's not what those useless elders will say when they come.
Tyson is doing this to throw you out, that son of a…" He bit his lips and ruffled his hair.
"The moon goddess is coming in today's full moon, the idiot knew that and was trying to act so hypocritical. Gosh! This is so fucked up." He told me and hit tears slipped down my eyes.
"But who the heck poisoned the King and Queen?"
"That's what I don't know, I'll slit Marcella's throat if she doesn't say something and I'll hang Collette. These two are the only ones to know something about this."
He said and I sniffed.
"Bitchhh!!" We both turned at once and saw her coming with fury.
She slapped the guards standing beside us so hard that she winced from the impact as Tyler already blocked me from her.
"How dare you do this to my parents? Was this how you killed yours?"
She slapped Tyler and he held her hands.
"Just stop the pretense Collette!" Tyler stopped her from coming further.
"Even you? Why are you so blinded by her? Haven't you seen what she's done?"
She cried and tears spilled on her face.
She was in pain and she looked sincere that she knew anything about what happened.
"So you think Zenevieva will just wake up one morning to poison the king and Queen? Can you listen to yourself?"
"This bitch will do anything for her selfish means!" She screamed and Tyler scoffed
"For what gain? Being the King or the grand Queen when your brother is trying so hard to flush her out from here? No, tell me Collette, does this make any sense to you?"
"Shut up!" He warned her but she screamed instead
"No shut the fuck up and stop taking side and admit that she did something wrong! Why the hell was she in my father's room in the first place without anyone's knowledge? I wanted her to leave initially but with the audacity to create such a mess with my parents, I'll Kill her and make sure her body is burnt to ashes! To hell with you both." She yelled and pushed the guards off.
Tyler turned to me and frowned.
"What were you doing in the King's chambers?"
I swallowed and hot balls of tears rolled down my eyes.
"I …I just. "
"Talk Vieva, if there's anything you need to say to defend yourself so you won't get banished better start spilling to me. I've noticed your Incessant visits but I brushed it off because I trust you, so spill!"
His voice was stern and my heart clenched.
Would he even believe me?
What if he saw me as a liar and turned my back on me and supported Tyson and his sister?
No please, I
would literally die!
He's like my backbone of support for now.
I looked at him with my teary eyes and sniffed.
I should just tell him, there's nothing to hide anymore.
"I'm a healer, Tyler."
