Bab 149: -||chapter one hundred forty nine - a tiny complication||-

"The King, having learned that he had been nourished with poison for an age, quivered at the thought of ingesting anything. He refused to break bread, fearing each morsel was laced with venom. He swore to not leave this realm until he had uncovered the identity of the nefarious soul behind his wretched destiny.

As the King quivered at the mere thought of dining, the Crown Prince relished a delectable feast among kin and comrades, preparing for his regal expedition. Unaware of the First Princess's schemes, he entrusted the care of his expectant spouse to his chosen kin, unknowingly casting a small hitch in the grand design."
