King Lucien glanced up at her, curiously. "You want tea? I will send words to the Royal Kitchen to make you the one—"

"Please, I'm t-too thirsty, I c-can't wait. Let me drink this one while Maima m-makes you another one. Please, My King." Vetta has no idea what's inside that tea but she'll be damned before she let him drink it in front of her.

Shaking her head, she walked towards him and took the tea from him. It's an insolence, to snatch what the King is holding without his permission, but that is not her thought at the moment.

Taking the wooden cup, she stepped out of his reach.

King Lucien does not understand Vetta's insolence. But, it didn't get past him that it's the first time Vetta is making such an insolent move with him.

"Alright, you can take that one. I'll have Maima make me another one." He decided.

Victory fled from Talia's face, replaced by horror as the Mistress took the drink far. Terror followed the look of horror.

Master Coza will kill her...! Not only did the King not die, but the Mistress who's his useful weapon will die!

At the look of terror, Vetta smirked at her even as tears filled her eyes. Oh, she knows so well that Coza will have her head for this.

Then, she stared at the hot tea she palmed in her hands and swallowed tightly.

But, as she raised it to her lips, there was a commotion outside the palace. A loud commotion that interrupted King Lucien's writing.

"What is going on?" He groaned as he raised his head and stared towards the door.

Just then, the door opened and Dargak hurried inside the King's Chambers with a huge smile on his face.

For a guard that does not smile, it was downright shocking seeing such a big smile on his face.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! There is someone here to see you!" He shouted, bowing his head to the King.

Only one person was scheduled to him today, and that is the Princess Kamara's lover, King Lucien thought.

"Has Navia's Prisoner arrived?" He asked Dargak, still wondering about the smile on the guard's face.

"Yes, Your Majesty! He stands outside your door, waiting for your command to come in!"

"He needn't wait. He should come in—" King Lucien cut off suddenly at the sound of his door opening. A figure walked through the door.

King Lucien swiveled his head in that direction. He froze.

Declan walked into his Chambers. Declan...?

There is a small crowd of the people of Salem at his door too—how did they get into the Royal Quarters?—which the guards were trying to contain. But, at that moment, King Lucien turned deaf and blind to them.

All his focus centered on his cousin brother who died in the most horrible way six years ago, standing right in front of him. Declan...?
