Chapter 326: 326 A Mere Guard

Although the Queen would rather not face her brother's wrath, especially since she had been avoiding him all day, she knew she owed him an apology, and she needed him to remain on her side.

Even though she was the queen, her brother was quite vicious when he was pissed, and as much as she hated to admit it, she was a little intimidated by him, especially now that Ivan had caused a lot of trouble that she had to deal with.

"What are you doing here?" Her brother asked her the moment she walked into the chamber.

"How is he doing?" the queen asked, but no one answered her question as William's mother stood up and excused herself from the chamber, seeing that the siblings had a bone to pick.

"Ivan will be punished for this. You have my word." She tried to keep her chin up, but whenever her eyes fell on Williams, who had fallen asleep after drinking the antidote, her confidence faltered.

"Your word? I don't need your word! This wouldn't have happened if you had not made such rash decisions. And I will never forgive you for this!" Her brother snapped at her angrily.

She was about to speak again when he cut her off.

"The moment Williams feels a little better, I'm taking my family out of this place. You can resolve your family's problems yourself. We no longer have any ties."

She looked at him in disbelief and shook her head. "We are of the same blood. You cannot just end our ties because you are angry. Williams is going to be fine. Don't be unreasonable."

"We. End. Here." He said, making sure she got the message clearly. The queen burned with anger, and without another word to him, she walked away from the chamber.

She saw no reason why he was blaming her for something that Ivan had done. Besides, shouldn't he be blaming himself for not being able to control his children? How could he have let them grow attached to her enemy to the extent that they left the palace with Harold? If they had not left the palace in the first place, none of this would have happened so he was also responsible!

Every one of them was responsible, and she wouldn't let them blame her for whatever happened to their children!

What was rash about her sending her guards to arrest the witch? Was she supposed to let the witch roam freely in their kingdom after they found out the truth?

She had done them all a favour by doing what she did. Besides, who knew if everything had gotten out of hand and everyone was acting out of character because the witch had cast a spell on them?

Instead of getting mad at each other and fighting themselves, shouldn't they focus on the cause of all the misunderstandings? Harold and his witch were the ones at fault, not her! She concluded as she headed for her chamber.

As she walked into her chamber, her maid hurried over to report the recent developments to her.

Susan had not only sent out an assistant physician but had also threatened the royal physician into attending to Luciana's wounds.

"WHAT?" She asked the maid with fury.

Susan.

That girl was beginning to get on her nerves just like Harold's witch, and she wouldn't be held responsible for taking any action against her.

Away from there, Harold stood outside the carriage and observed as the royal physician treated Alvin's wound while Alicia helped hold a lantern beside him so he could see what he was doing, as it was already dark. However, they noticed how frightened the man was, and that made him clumsily drop some of his instruments.

Why wouldn't he? Everyone knew the massacre Harold had committed. He had put them all under arrest and imposed compulsory dry fasting, and to top it off, his wife was being suspected as a witch who had truly killed Beth and put the king in that state because she wanted Prince Harold to take the throne while she would be queen. So it didn't help that the two people were beside him at the moment, watching him keenly. At this point, he only prayed not to make a single mistake; otherwise, it was over for him.

"If you dare drop one more thing carelessly, I will a platter with your head sent to your family," Harold said calmly, and that just made the frightened physician shake, but he quickly caught the needle that was about to fall off his hand.

Even Paulina, who was still inside the carriage, was shaking from fear. The fear didn't escape Alicia either, who just kept staring at Alvin and swallowing tightly.

Thankfully, the physician was able to control himself and do it correctly since his life was on the line, and fortunately, Alvin visibly relaxed in his sleep and his breathing, albeit slow, became a bit steady.

The only time Harold had ever felt more relieved than he did right now were both times Alicia woke up from her unconsciousness.

"He... will be fine. The... antidote and medicine he took helped... slow down the effect of the p-poison," the assistant physician stammered as he kept his gaze down on Alvin, whom he wouldn't have dared stare at if he wasn't unconscious.

He couldn't help wondering why Susan had lied and said it was Sir Harvey who needed the medicine when it was merely Harold's guard. He wouldn't have risked his life to come here.

"What about Sir Williams? Do you know how he is faring?" Harold asked with concern, and Paulina, who had her eyes shut the whole time, snapped them open when she heard Williams' name and looked at Alicia, wondering what Harold was talking about.

"He... is in a very bad state. The poison was beginning to spread."

"W-What poi-son?" Paulina asked in alarm as it dawned on her that Williams had been injured earlier too.
