CHAPTER 77
TYLER’S POV
"You're a what?"
I gasped looking at her teary eyes in disbelief.
"I'm a healer."
"For real?" She nodded.
"Why didn't you tell anyone, Like Jeez! You possess such a unique quality as a Queen, the Packs will worship your feet literally." I exclaimed wondering why she would keep such a secret.
"I don't want that Tyler."
"Why? It doesn't make sense that you let Tyson treat you like trash when you have a divine power within you but that still doesn't explain why you were in the king's chambers."
"You know the King was sick, he had collapsed once and I went over to check what's wrong and that's when I knew I could help him. I've been giving him medications to monitor his high blood pressure and pain and so far there's been improvement until I gave him the usual today and he collapsed." She told me and wiped her tears and my heart clenched.
"Shit! They poisoned your medicine?"
"I don't even know Tyler, it was already late when I discovered that it wasn't even my own medicine but something else."
"Damn! Does anyone else know about this? You being a healer and treating the King?"
"No one, I wanted it to be kept a secret despite the King's Incessant insistence on letting the whole Pack aware of it."
"And that's when you strike that deal with him to give that grand order right?"
She nodded and huffed out in frustration.
She's not only beautiful but smart, who would have thought that she's the only one able to cure the King's ailments that have been like a thorn in the flesh for other physicians and healers.
To say I was shocked when the King had come all the way to give a grand order was an understatement, I was shocked beyond measure as the king can only carry out a grand order with his plaque when a moon goddess impose an order she knows that won't sit well with the others but must be carry out by force, In Fact the golden plaque is one of the sacred thing to use on any menial matters.
Now she's in doom, and my guts tells me that Tyson is behind this.
That jerk!
I thought I was gradually getting him back but it's so obvious that he needs Zenevieva out of his life for good.
"I'll try and fix something Zenevieva, it would be okay." I said reassuringly when I saw how scared she was, fidgeting terribly.
"It's not going to be okay, The King and Queen's health is not something to joke with. They win this time around cause I've got nothing to defend myself with."
"Nothing would happen to you Vieva, you're stronger than this."
"I hope so." She sniffed as we both whipped our heads to the direction of the gate entrance and my heart slammed heavily.
Tyson is a monster!
The Pack's Clans and elders were already here, alongside with health officials who examined people's health conditions and I wondered if he had already brain washed them to spew rubbish.
The Moon goddess would show up tomorrow or a day before next to give a general pronouncement about the royal Family and the Pack.
She usually visits just twice in a year and this would be the second time of her visit.
"I need to go!" She sobbed bitterly but I held her hands.
"To where?"
"I don't know, these people are already here and Tyson gave his men orders to bring me to god's nowhere."
"So you're just going to follow them and present yourself willingly so they could spew rubbish? How many times will I tell you to know your place as the Queen and stop acting so irrational?"
"Tyler, not now please. I don't know what's going to happen to the King and Queen, spare me lectures of authority and poise."
"Look, if you're scared about them; then stop it. Tyson will never let anything happen to his parents let alone his mother."
She remained blank and wiped her tears while a guard came over in fury and all bloodied and stood before me.
"Her presence is required now and I'm not leaving without her or you both will come to the general royal hall immediately."
I hissed and asked him to leave but he vehemently refused stressing the fact that Tyson would have him hanged if he didn't appear with her.
I grabbed Zenevieva and we both went over to the den of those officials who were ready to leash out reckless judgement to favour the King.
Zenevieva gasped when she entered and I saw her line of gaze and bit my lips.
Why are they all here as if it's a murder case, she didn't kill anyone…..yet.
Collette was sitting next to her brother and I scoffed while Tyson was sitting like the King he was and in a stoic mood.
"It's no use wasting our time here let's just get straight to the point as the asking called everyone on a jiffy. Let's request the health status of the King and Queen before we proceed?"
One of the elders said and two officials stood up to render their own speech.
"The king's health status is actually examined with the results of being poisoned by Herbs. He's in a less condition and would be up anytime considering the fact that he took an anti poisoning leaf "
"The Queen's health status was based on the results of food poisoning, the Wolf's bane syrup."
I gasped and shook my head, no way! That's too extreme.
I avert my gaze to Tyson and he doesn't even look surprised a bit.
"I've never had a wolf's bane on me in my entire life." Zenevieva screamed. "How the hell is she poisoned with that?"
"Shut up Zenevieva, don't talk when the elders are talking." Collette fired and she lost it.
"If you breathe a word at me again Collette, I'll accept any punishment or death and make sure I kill you. So shut the fuck up!"
She screamed and I had to block my ear drums and she definitely kept quiet.
"How come such poison still exists in Mudville, it was banned so how am I supposed to have it or you making this all up.."
"No! The chief maid saw you put it in the queen's meal, the last thing you included in her meal before you served her."
She ruffled her hair in utmost pain and shook her head.
"What the hell is this? Can't I add salt to the Queen's meal anymore?"
"That wasn't salt Zenevieva, she clearly stated that it was the Wolf's bane." Tyson interjected.
"And how did you know that? How did she know what was in the content after I asked her to leave the kitchen? I know you can be so dumb in many ways but try and make your accusations legit before you shamelessly blame it on me."
"There's it, the insult. Can we just get this done? I need to prepare for the moon goddess visit. I tolerated it that last time because of my dad and now my dad is there on the bed unconscious, who the hell are you to even visit him? Why will you give him herbs aside from his physician?
Have you seen it when I tell you that she's got a lot of skeletons? I'm done with this…totally."
I ruffled my hair and I couldn't say a word, it was as if the whole congregation had already made up their minds to pass on the judgement or approval of making the king do as he likes with her.
Poisoning demands banishment, when death occurs; it demands death by hanging.
Zenevieva didn't do any of these, it's okay if he doesn't want her around but this is extremely embarrassing by making her the centre of attention in his own evil plot.
"Her punishment will definitely be banishment!"
The senior elder on council said and Tyson raised a smirk.
"But we need approval from the Alpha commander. I mean he's the only one that approves issues like this unless you would break the protocols and just get her banished."
His smirk dropped and I heaved a sigh of relief.
I didn't think of that either, it's either he's here or he breaks the protocols and receives a punishment.
Besides, he's still a young King and needed to follow the necessary guidelines before doing anything rash.
"I'll break the useless protocols!" He slammed in anger but Kyle walked in and strolled majestically to the high seat.
"Then you have to replace my position as the Alpha commander."
He smirked and sat down and Tyson was twitching , ready to explode.
"I need a new Commander Council, I can't break with these insults anymore."
"Ask your father! He's the only one to choose and remove. Good luck in trying to do that, by the way…what has she done this time around?"
He smirked, staring straight at Zenevieva as she had her head down as if she was ready for anything that's coming for he
r.
She's weak and I know it's because of the health status of the two couples.
But with Kyle being here, I'm sure everything would be resolved.
