A middle-aged woman was lying on a bed with a muscular man who was sleeping with an intoxicated look whoever sees this will think they are a happy couple but they are not. This woman was the Queen Andriya Malfoy of the sacredmore empire. It's been a few hours since the attack on the royal palace but Andriya has a happy expression written all over her face suddenly a man clad in black appears near the bed looking beaten up.
"Gilmorton, what happened? Why are you all beaten up?" Andriya asks thinking that nothing can ever go wrong with her plan but when she looks at his grim face she felt uneasy.
"Your highness Andriya, they managed to escape killing two of our assassins," he said with a grim face.
"What did you say, how can three children and a little girl escape from the guild leader of the dark assassin guild." She asked in a mocking tone feeling angry.
"I only gave you one job which is to kill that little girl and that so-called beautiful prince, how can you call yourself a dark guild if u can't even kill those two," Andriya ask feeling angry about this whole situation.
"Your highness, I couldn't kill Queen Daphnia because the crown prince asked me to not kill her and bring her alive," Gilmorton said
"BASTARD!..... Who are you working for me or that little rascal" Andriya shouted feeling angry.
Gilmorton's whole face went pale after hearing this he thought if he mentions the crown prince he will at least give a proper excuse but it had the opposite effect Andriya felt angrier after hearing this.
"Your highness, that baby prince will die for sure I managed to injure him with a dagger coated in Belladonna flower's poison he won't survive that poison even if he is an adult," he said.
"I know the effectiveness of that poison he will surely die even a B rank monster can't survive that poison," she said while looking at the muscular man who's sleeping beside her with an intoxicated look.
"Send a search party to confirm the prince's death and prepare 3 bodies identical to them and burn them so people won't be able to identify them," she said.
"Yes, Your highness " Gilmorton said while leaving the room with a sharp look in his eyes.
The moment he left the room Andriya looked at the muscular red-haired man with a sad look and thought inwardly,
"For God's sake, how far I have fallen to kill a newborn baby, Violet" she shouted the maid's name asking her to enter the room.
"Violet, tell the crown prince to come to meet me tomorrow morning and don't let anyone enter the room," Andriya said.
"Yes Your highness" Violet said and gave a bow and she left the room.
Andriya took a small pouch and poured a yellow colour powder into the emperor's mouth and then went to sleep.
Daphnia's POV
We've been riding nonstop for 4 hours now it is almost dawn. My heart is beating none stop for some reason. I decided to take a little break and check Velian's condition.
"Lyra, how is he?" I asked feeling conflicted about this whole situation. freeweb novel. com
"Mom, I don't know how is this possible but even after a dagger pierced his chest he didn't even cry a single bit and he is sleeping now," Lyra said.
"Let me see my baby, Lyra we will take a little break here and we will go to Zion Village near the Great calamity forest it is the perfect place to hide for the 3 of us and check about her." I said while pointing at Delviny. fr eeweb novel
I looked at Little Velian's face. He was sleeping comfortably despite all this. I still remember the feeling I got yesterday seeing his blood. I felt like my mana and blood were boiling. I won't let this happen again to him. How can those trashes kill this beautiful baby? Did I ever say he will become the crown prince? Why do they want to destroy my only happiness, I wanted to check his injury to see whether the healing bandages did their job. I cut the knot of the bandage and observed his chest then I noticed something strange there is a violet colour spot in the bandage he used.
"This colour! This smell oh my goddess" I threw the bandage so that it won't harm anyone who touches it. I have seen this poison during my adventuring days it's called Belladonna a deadly poison. Those who use this poison must be the Dark assassin guild or Assassins Under the Royal family.
"How did he survive from Deadly poison Belladonna? Even a B rank adventurer will die within 5 min if this poison gets contacted with skin" I thought inwardly he sure is a strange child. I took him into my embrace and wrapped a new bandage.
I looked at Delviny she must be feeling guilty for what happened to his brother, I feel my heart tightening when I look at her face. She is like a lifeless corpse. I heard Lyra saying she didn't even drink a bit of water. I got up and went to talk with her while embracing Little Velian.
"Delvi Baby, it's not your fault what happened to your brother. It is those selfish people who wanted to harm our family" I said while taking both Delvi and Lyra into my embrace.
"Mom, I'm sorry, please forgive me," Delvi said while sobbing.
"It's okay baby it's okay," I said while caressing her head.
"Mother, how do you know about the Zion village," Lyra asked
"Oh! When I was an adventure I once went to that village as one of our companions was from that village." I said while being nostalgic.
She must be the Village Chief now. I hope she still remembers me.
