Chapter 295 - Something Unexpected (1) (unedited) (1/2)

I open my eyes and saw that I was lying under the shade of trees. I look around and saw Regaleon by my side. Tricia and William were also there with me with me. Worry were etched on their faces.

”What happened?” I asked. I was still a little disoriented.

The last thing I remember was talking with everyone merrily. And all of a sudden, I felt dizzy and everything turn black afterwards.

”Did I faint?” I asked Regaleon. ”How long was I out?”

”It was only a few moments.” Regaleon's face looked graved, as if all color were drained form his face.

”What is wrong?” I asked curiously. ”Please tell me.”

Regaleon had tighten his lips even more and so I looked at William for answers.

”The medic within our group looked at your vitals.” Williams answered. ”It looks like you are poisoned your majesty. And it seems to be a poison he does not have any knowledge of. For now, he has given you an antidote that can slow the poisons effects, but it cannot detoxify the poison completely.”

So that is why Regaleon has such a look on his face. This is a poison that the medic we have cannot detoxify. I am sure he is worried to death by me once again. I felt a slight pang in my heart looking at my husband's grief stricken look.

'So, I am poisoned. But how?' I was thinking how I was poisoned when I remembered that majority of my wounds have been inflicted by the sire queen, Tenasia. ”Quick, let the medic take a look at Regaleon as well.” I said in a hurried tone. I tried to stand up but Regaleon pushed me back down.

”Do not move so hastily.” Regaleon scolded me. ”The poison might circulate more if you move.”

”But please let the medic check on you as well.” I said with a worried tone.

Regaleon sighed and nodded. He then called for the medic and let him take a look. After the checkup, the medic also concluded that Regaleon was indeed poisoned as well, but with only a minimum dose.

”You are also poisoned your majesty, but thankfully in a very minimal dose.” The medic stated. ”The antidote that I have brought with me can help detoxify the poison on your body, your majesty.”

”I will not take it.” Regaleon said with a grumbled look. ”Not if my wife won't have hers detoxified as well.”

”Your majesty!” The medic was shocked by Regaleon's word.

”Leon!” I scolded at him. ”You must not do this!”

All of us who hear Regaleon's words were shocked and surprised by the words he uttered.

”Please excuse me your majesty.” William said with a grave look. What he did next shocked everyone in the group.

William punched Regaleon hard on the face. The sound of the punch was strong, indicating that William did not hold back his strength. He dropped on the ground holding the face that William had hit. I saw a trickle of blood come out on my husband's lips.

”This is no time for your majesty to be selfish!” William shouted to Regaleon. ”I now how helpless you feel knowing that Alicia can die because of this poison. But please remember that she risked her life to save you, to save us. You are an important person for your country and nation, and Alicia knows this. Will you still give her a burden to worry about, knowing that she might die any time because of the poison?”

William's words resounded in the surroundings. All of us were in awe with how brave William was, to punch the monarch of the kingdom of Grandcrest. But his words held the truth. Regaleon was no ordinary man, he is the king of Grandcrest and the future emperor of this continent. He cannot place himself in peril just because of his wife who was in a life threatening situation.

”William is correct Leon.” I said with a calm voice. ”You are now a sovereign of Grandcrest and the future emperor of this continent. You cannot put yourself in danger just because of me. Your body is the most important thing for your people and your country.”

The men around us also kneeled to implore him to take the antidote.

”Please your majesty.” The men said in unison.

Regaleon stood up wiping the blood off his lips with the back of his hand. His grief stricken face from before now change into the usual face he has in front of his subordinates, the face a leader and king of Grandcrest would have.

”Thank you for waking me up William.” Regaleon said. ”But you have to take punishment in punching a king.”

Regaleon then punched William in the face with equal force as well. William went down on the ground with the force.

”I accept this punishment humbly, your majesty.” William said with a smile.

”Give me the antidote at once.” Regaleon ordered the medic.

The medic smiled brightly and hurriedly searched his medicine back for the antidote when Chris arrived.

”Your majesty, a siren came and asked to have an audience with you.” Chris arrived with a siren in tow. Her hands were bound with ropes.

The siren looked so young, she looked like a thirteen or fourteen year old child.
