That swammed Melody. Donis stepped back but of their way in haste. What happened to her? Daris caught a glimpse af Melody with wide, classy eyes and foam coming out of her mouth as they lited her from the ground and carried her off to the nedical ward. Doris placed her hand against her chest and tell her heart beat race beneath her hand. Was she allergic to the flower as well? Was she…

“What happened to her?” Prince William asked, his brows furrowed. He looked around the room as if the answer might come forward. Each and every one of the guests looked just confused and homified as Prince William did.

Each of the royals glanced at each other with their brows furrowed in their own confusion. Guards crowded around then with their blades drawn as if waiting for the prisoner to try and take one of their lives as well. Someone in this room put that in Luna Queen’s soup and caused Melody’s collapse.

Oh no, Doris thought and gripped her checks. Melody wasn’t truly dead, was she? Doris hated every ounce of her, but she would never wish death upon anyone. Even someone that almost killed her the other might

Jack stood from his chair, it was only then that Doris realized he had been the only one still seated during this ordeal. “I saw exactly who did it!” Jack’s gaze slid right to Doris, just as everyone else’s did. He lifted his finger and pointed right at her, she

“I think she intended the soup to be far Lumia Queen.” Jack continued, his eyes naftowed at Daris. “I saw her switch them, thank the goddess that my mother hadn’t had a chance to take a bite yet!”

“Nal” Doris winced when their grip tightened. “I didn’t poison anyone! Especially not my own lady

“Doris would never do such a thing.” Prince Martin spoke up calmly, he held out his hands is if trying to ease the panic in the room. “I may not know her Very well, but,”

“Exactly! You don’t know this maid very well at all.” Jack interrupted. “I heard rumors that this maid had stolen from Lady Melody and beaten as punishment. Perhaps she wanted revenge—”

“No!” Prince Daniel spoke up next. Doris was a little startled that either prince had cared enough to defend her in front of everyone. She didn’t think anyone in this room Would ever have risked Speaking up for her. It would have warmed her heart if she wasn’t so terrified of what was to come. Would they kill her for this? “Prince Martin is right, Doris would never do something like this to anyone! Even someone that was cruel to her, I know she has a wonderful heart. Please, let her go.” Prince Daniel pleaded.

“And how would you know what this maid is capable of?” Tack scoffed. “I saw her do it myself! 1

Prince William stayed silent he watched then argue before him. His lady w possibly dead, and he said nothing while Jack accused Doris of doing the unthinkable. He wore in emotionl mask, Doris wondered how he could possibly manage it after what they’d all just witnessed.

“My majesty, if you say you saw me poison the bowl. why didn’t you say anything?” Doris asked Jack with tears rolling down her cheeks. “Why didn’t you stop it if you saw me? Especially if you thought it might have been meant for your mother?”

It just didn’t make sense for him to accuse her of this, he could have easily stopped her with one shout and Melody would’ve been fine. Doris searched his face and only siw i small sense of surprise that she would even ask him something like that.

“How dare you speak to me like that!”, Jack parted his lips, his cheeks slightly red. He quickly calmed himself and cleared his throat. “It was too late, I didn’t think you were doing what you did at the time. When I heard Melody choke, I knew what you’d done and it it was too late.”

Prince Martin stepped forward, his gaze lingered sadly on Doris. “I believe Doris when she said she didn’t do what you claim. This has all been a terrible misunderstanding—

The guards loosened their grip just a little, but not much. Jack looked at the two princes and marrowed. his eyes. Are you saying I’m a liar?

“Of course not, I’mo simply suggesting you’re mistaken in your claims.” Prince Martin said and clasped his hands behind his back. We were all here, no one else saw Donis do anything with the bowls. I think anyone sensible would have spoken up if they saw her put poison in one of the bowls.”

“My son would never lie about such a thing!” Luna Queen said loudly. She glanced at the area Melody had been a moment before as if she were wondering if it could have been her. “This majd has been nothing but trouble since my birthday started, and how she has murdered her own lady!”

“Why did you switch the soup?” Jack neared Doris, Prince Martin and Prince Daniel stepped a little closer in case he decided to put his hands on her. 1

“I only switched it because I thought it had an ingredient that Luna Queen was allergic to! I didn’t know the soup was poisoned. I would have never given it to Lady Melody if I’d known.”

Her defense fell on unwanted ears, Jack turned away halfway through her explanation as if he never wanted it. “Take her to the prison, I’ll get the truth out of her one way or another.”

“No! I swear I would never harm anyone!” Doris cried, her eyes locked with Prince William but unlike his brother, he didn’t say a word in her defense. They began to move her out towards the

The cell was dark and dingy. The back stone wall looked wet and the bed in the comer had only one Ehin sheet on it to use as the blanket Doris searched for the source and found there wilis a tiny window that was much too high for her to even out of, but it had to window and allowed rain to dampen the small room. They shoved Doris inside the cell and threw a prisoner gawn at her feet.

A creak echoed through the hallway outside her room. A light knock tapped along the bars of her cell before a boy sild the door open and slipped in silently. Doris quickly stood when she saw it was Da—Prince Daniel.

“I’m not upset, Prince Daniel. I was just confused I suppose.” Doris admitted.

Daniel looked down at her hand as if he wanted him
