Capítulo 168: The Maid

(From Demetrius's Perspective)

I was in a meeting with all the kings of the five kingdoms. After a while, a letter from my wife arrived. A maid of Ataraxia brought it. 

"Her Highness, the Queen of Querencia, said that it is very important and to give it to Your Highness as soon as possible," the maid had said. 

I am sorry if you are doing something important, but I thought that I should let you know this. Actually, this morning, a maid poisoned my tea. What I mean is, it happened just a few minutes ago. I didn't take even a sip of it though. So, don't freak out.

I could not even finish reading the last sentence when I was already bolting towards the palace she was in. Someone tried to poison her when I was not there? 

'How dare they?!'
