章 1660: Diagnosis

Alex stepped back from his sister, taking his space to think of what was happening. 

Is everything alright? Hannah asked, worried.

"Tell her it is nothing. I'm thinking," Alex said and stopped thinking about his sister as his sister for now, but as a patient.

If he wanted to cure her, he would have to first understand what the problem was exactly.

"Do you know what poison your father used on her?" Alex asked. A part of him wondered why a poison was even used on her, but he put away the thought. That wasn't important for his deduction of her situation.

"No," the Crown Prince said. "He just… used it and… and that was how she was after that."

"What sort of poison was it?" Alex asked. "Did he feed it to her, or made her smell it or…"

"He splashed a small vial of liquid," the 2nd prince answered. "I didn't see how much. I didn't have the time to focus on her at the time. I was busy defending myself."
