Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 327

Chapter 327: A Tale To Be Told

"Cover me." Those were the words Islinda told Rosalind after she handed the small bottle containing the drug to her.

Rosalind subtly nodded and walked ahead of her yet lingered, pretending to be supervising the food when she was tactically hiding Islinda from view with her bigger body.

The kitchen staff had decreased in numbers since they were practically done cooking the most difficult foods and it was mostly side dishes now.

"Wow, all of this for Prince Aldric!" Islinda exclaimed, walking and trailing her hand along the table, her eyes full of awe when in reality she was nervous as hell.

She stopped, her heart pounding against her ribcage as she scanned the Fae who were doing their own thing. A few others had scattered off to gossip again while others were busy making the food.

Islinda lifted the lid used to cover the Akara, her eyes connecting with Rosalind who stood taller at that moment, shielding her from others.

"I can’t believe that I made this," Islinda was still speaking when she produced the small bottle and poured the colorless liquid on the Akara balls knowing this was a dish Aldric would not resist. He had liked it in the human realm and she had specifically made it for him. There was no getting out of it.

Once she had poured the substance, Islinda hid the bottle in her palm and closed the lid, speaking louder than usual for show, "I can’t wait for the prince to have this. He would be ecstatic." To others, they would assume she was ecstatic after preparing a meal for her lover and would not suspect a thing.

She tamped down the nervousness and did not give anything away. There was no way anyone saw her, she assured herself. She had even used the lid to block her action for added protection. Everything was going to go well, Islinda rubbed her clammy hands down her pants after hiding the bottle of course.

Her eyes met with Rosalind and she affirmed she had drugged the food. As long as no one stole one of the Akara balls before it was served to the prince and dropped unconscious, there should be no problem.

Islinda did not leave immediately else her movements seemed suspicious to any Fae with keen eyes. Aside from Rosalind, no one was on her side and would sell her out.

"I should go prepare for dinner," Islinda announced after the time was right, "I had a good time with you all today and I pray this won’t be the last," She thanked them.

"We enjoyed your company too, young miss." They gushed over her with praises.

"I should escort you back to your room and see that you’re prepared timely for dinner. You’ve wasted enough of it already." Rosalind told her to the hearing of everyone.

"Sure, that would be nice." Islinda accepted her help and the both of them walked out of the kitchen with the Faeries waving after them.

"Don’t you think it would have been a nice idea to stay back and see if anyone caught me?" Islinda spoke in a hushed tone since they walked into the hallway.

Islinda cast a nervous look at Rosalind and before she took a step forward, placed the bottle in Rosalind’s palm and the Fae closed her hand around it without drawing attention to the careful exchange. freёweɓnovel_com
