Chapter 243: (243): Velator (13)

"Have you been waiting so long?"

Asked Vanessa and her eyes twinkled after watching the colorful table that Luna had prepared them.

But, Delara couldn't pretend as she did, and the half-bared smiles that she was serving them appeared to be more pestering.

"Please let me pour some tea for you. Helena had made these cookies, you will love it."

Luna got up from the chair and poured them some tea.

"It smells good, I mean all of that."

Vanessa laughed.

Luna couldn't remember if she had seen her being this friendly before and it sounded suspicious.

"Yes, I'm sure she had worked too much."

Delara's eyes averted on the maiden.

"I've done my best, please enjoy."

Helena responded.

The mistresses began to eat and drink when Luna added, "I will talk to the Queen. I've heard that they will send you to the physicians for emasculation."

Delara coughed, the sweetness in her mouth turned bitter.

"Well, they will!"

"I won't let this happen! Using protection is way better than doing such a thing! Besides, every woman wants to have a child and lack of it might depress you."

Luna hated to say that but what the Queen prevailed on was cruel.

"It is not just the Queen. It is the law and we won't protest it." Delara mentioned.

Luna didn't insist as it came across that she didn't want to upset Livia. All she wanted was Wilmore, she could hear this girl's heartbeat. Nevertheless, Luna couldn't help with that. Wilmore belonged to her, only hers.

"Don't you eat lady Luna?"

Recently, she loathed sweets and now tasted what Wilmore felt while accepting her hand.

"I am having tea, I was ill lately, better to be careful with what I am having."

She picked her cup and took a sip of the tea. 

Vanessa's vision went hazy, her fingers grew senseless and her body began to heat up, something was grazing her body. The cup dropped her hand.

"Lady Vanessa, are you alright?"

Delara put the cup back, to check on her but she felt something screeched, her head ached madly and her heartbeats ceased, her heart was heavy as if a stone just dropped on her chestbone.

"Ladies?" It was Luna who roamed for them, what was happening? 

Before the girl fell, Luna and Kate grabbed them.

"Captain Nemo!" Called out for him the terrified Luna.

"Milady, their lips are getting dark."

Helena stated, shaking out of terror.

Nemo rushed inside and after him, then came some other guards, they thought something had happened to their lady but no, the mistresses were on the ground.

Kate snatched a silver teaspoon from the table, putting it on their mouth, and her eyes widened.

"Poison!"

~

Standing across the king and his Queen like this was awkward. Would they believe that Luna didn't poison the girls?

Her eyes drifted on Elenore, pleading her to do something but this expectation was too much.

"Lady Luna, we are waiting for your excuse!"

It wasn't Helena, she couldn't smash an ant. She could not let her be executed right away, but she could buy a short span of time for the detectors.

"Your highness, I didn't poison them, didn't order that and I am sure my maiden is innocent too. I want you to let the detectors survey over the clues."

The King sighed, he had no doubt that Luna was telling the truth but this case needed a sacrifice and unfortunately that maiden was the main prey.

"Your highness, We don't have enough clues, I inquire for detection," Elenore begged.

"Lady Elenore, the poison was inside the sweets, they were made by a maiden who serves Lady Luna."

The queen replied.

"And I am not a fool to poison the mistresses and sign my death!"

Luna uttered, clenching her fists! This woman who had the crown on her head brought her here and was protecting her daughter, indeed! Despite knowing that she was the brain behind this plot.

"Then, why the poison was inside those sweets?"

Asked Livia, gesturing toward her, wearing a stern face.

"Perhaps someone had replaced it with an ingredient, the palace mess hall is crowded."

Luna protested, grabbing Helena's hand that was as cold as a corpse.

"I won't leave this with no survey!"

The King stated. 

"We must do because the girls' families would come to question us and would claim the retribution."

The Queen stated, shooting a glare at Luna.

"Until then, they must stay under arrest as alleged."

Livia exclaimed, Delara's father was her ally, and no wonder why she was showing this face. Luna grasped why Vanessa was behaving nicely with her. She had tricks in her sleeves to frame Luna in which one.

"I will keep them in the royal prisons! Don't forget that who she is, she will be your brother's wife and this kind of accusations are a shame for all of us."

Luna sweated, these words were puncturing her heart, despite being so careful, they could simply entangle her.

"Captain Nemo, Master Gaven will lead you to the royal prison. No one is allowed to visit these ladies until we find the true criminals."

The King decreed purposefully. Since Luna was chosen to be the prince's wife, his daughter was quiet that made him nervous but he had no idea that she would poison the mistresses.

Nemo walked to the ladies, his eyes wandered around but he couldn't see Kate! 

"Wait! I can't see the other maiden."

Livia stated, Kate knew all of the poisons, it was impossible not to recognize that. She clenched her fists, as she emphasized Oliver to keep his eyes on her. Kate was a ghost and until now neither of her assassins could reach the level of her skills.

"I interrogated her personally, other servants also admitted that Kate Foley didn't even get close to mess hall during the past week."

The King answered her daughter. His son was worried about her and it meant he was the one who knew Livia better than anyone.

As the King explained that Nemo and his men took the ladies out after master Gaven. To the royal prisons, where only the king and his trustees were aware of it, the place where they were also keeping Clara Stalin. On the way, Luna squeezed Helena's hand.

"Calm down, my Helena. They will find us innocent."

"I can't, what if they were dead?"

"They are alive! Hopefully."

Luna sighed, never thought that she would become happy that Vanessa was breathing.

"Captain Nemo, where is captain Bryan?"

Asked Luna.

"I don't know, my lady."

He was wearing a vicious face, blaming himself for neglecting many things, he should have checked the foods that lady Luna had, perhaps someone wanted to kill her.
