Chapter 210

“Elder Randy!” Jcried./

Glass slipped from his fingers.

The next second, the man’s large body was crushed down to the ground with a loud bang.

There was a moment of aghast silence.

Then somebody from the crowd let out a sudden scream of terror, “-Ahhh!!!” Jjumped over the

table and dropped down by Elder Randy’s side.

She quickly examined him.

His face was pale like a piece of paper. His breathing was labored as though his throat was clogged.

And his body trembled as though having a seizure-

“He is poisoned!” Jyelled.

Elder Pierre gasped and tossed his glass on the ground. Beer spilled over the grass. The grass began

to smoke and withered within seconds!

“Somebody helps him!” Elder Pierre screams.

Jtore the man’s collar open to help him better breathe. Her hands were slightly shaking in panic.

She couldn’t feel his pulse anymore!

A steady hand caught her wrist.

“I got this,” Westin whispered to her urgently.

He knelt and tilted Elder Randy’s head backward and lifted his chin to open airway.

Then he started compressing the man’s chest and gave him rescue breaths.

He carried on for a couple of rounds.

Elder Randy took an abrupt inhale of breath.

“It worked!” Elder Pierre gasped in thrill.

the

Jput a finger underneath the man’s nose. She could now feel a faint airflow. “We should get him to

the hospital!” Jsaid loudly.

“Guards!” Westin snapped.

A group of guards rushed over and lifted Elder Randy off the ground.

The crowd quickly parted for them to cthrough. There was a horrified look on every guest’s face.

Westin wiped the sweat on his forehead with a grim look, “I should be at the hospital

as well.”

“I am coming with you,” Jsaid.

The two of them hurried across the garden. The once lively dance floor had lapsed into a complete

mess.

This year’s Spring Ball ended on a very hasty and chaotic note.

When Jand Westin arrived at the clinic room in the castle, Elder Randy had already been taken

into the emergency room.

Doctors and nurses surrounded the bed, examining Elder Randy’s condition.

Moments later, a doctor walked up to Westin, “We just did an initial exam of Elder Randy… He was

indeed poisoned.”

Jclenched her fists.

One of the senior elders got poisoned right under the nose of their King and with everyone watching.

This was huge!

Whoever did this has a lot of guts.

“Is he going to make it?” Westin asked.

The doctor hesitated, “We are taking his blood sample to the laboratory to identify which poison it is…

But I am afraid that we can’t develop a cure for him in time-

“Then you will try!” Westin snapped, “I have got the best doctors in the Lycan’s world in this very room,

and you are tellingthat you don’t have the cure? Unacceptable!”

The doctor winced, intimidated by Westin’s aura.

“T–There are very few poisons that can do this level of damage to a Lycan. I am afraid we have to

study this poison from scratch before developing a cure. Yet Elder Randy’s liver is failing. I am afraid

that there is simply not enough time….

Westin looked enraged, “How long does he have?”

“In the best scenario, days. But liver failure can happen in minutes. So Elder Randy might…any

seconds…”

Westin threw a punch at the wall, looking furious.

His most trusted elder got poisoned right in front of him.

Yet he couldn’t save him.

“I don’t care!” He huffed at the doctor with bloodshot eyes, “You will save him. That is an order from the

King!”

The doctor trembled on his

spot

Just then, the monitor attached to Elder Randy’s body gave off a sharp noise and the nurse screamed,

His blood pressure is dropping!”

“Heart failure!”

“Hurry do something–we are losing him!”

There was a lot of commotion in the clinic room.

Just then, a group of people bust in through the door. Most of them were elders. Rushing upfront was

Agnes, holding a small bottle of liquid in her hand.

“I–I have the cure!” she shrieked.

She shoved the bottle into one of the nurses‘ hands, “Hurry! Give this to Elder Randy!”

The nurse grabbed the bottle urgently and shut the curtain, beginning the emergency treatment.

“Why do you have the cure?” Westin asked in astonishment.

Agnes wiped her teary eyes and wept, “Keavy died of food poisoning, remember? Ever since he died, I

have been carrying a bottle of cure withwhenever I go. Oh god, poor Elder Randy…”

“But you can’t promise that your cure is effective for Elder Randy’s poison, right?” asked an elder

dressed in a grey cloak.

Jremembered this elder. Elder Lamonte.

She met him once in the dining hall on her first night here.

Agnes shook her head, “No, father…

“Then we should find the criminal who poisoned Randy! And ask the criminal for the cure!” said Elder

Lamonte boomingly.

Westin nodded, “I will have the soldiers search the garden right away and see if the security camera

captured anyone suspicious-”

“You can do that. But I think the criminal is right by our side.”

Elder Lamonte let out a cold laugh, his eyes gleaming maliciously, “For example…Her.”

An astonished gasp could be heard from the crowd.

lrounded her eyes.

…Elder Lamonte was pointing at her?

Was he fucking crazy?!

“This is nonsense-” she huffed.

“Careful, Elder Lamonte!” Westin hissed darkly, “That is my Queen you are pointing at!”

Lamonte putted his chest arrogantly, “I am perfectly aware. But she is the one who carried this barrel of

beer into the venue. Everyone saw her bringing it in. She is the best suspect!”

“That is your big reason?” Jsnapped, “I was simply helping out a maid who couldn’t lift that barrel-”

“Where is this maid then? Nobody saw her,” Lamonte pressed.

Jsnapped her head to Westin, “You saw that maid, right? When you walked up behind me?

Westin hesitated..

“…You toldthat you were helping a maid. But I didn’t see her with my own eyes,”

he said.

Jcouldn’t believe this.

The maid was standing right by her side!

How could he not see her?

“Then where is Annie? Lady Annie saw the maid!” Jsnapped.

“Annie cwith me. Letgo get her,” Agnes said.

She left the clinic room and was back with Annie seconds later.

“Annie, you saw the maid with the barrel, right?” Jasked in an urgent voice.

Annie held her head down, trembling like a leave in the wind.

I don’t know what you are talking about, Lady Janet…” she said in a whisper.

Jfroze on her spot.

Annie said nothing and simply shook her head hastily.

Agnes rounded one arm around Annie’s shoulder and gently patted her back, “It is OK Annie. You said

the truth. You are a brave girl.”

Jsnarled, “What truth! This is a fucking lie-

“Lady Janet!”

Agnes raised her head and looked at Jwith watery eyes:

“Cursing and scaring this poor girl won’t make your crdisappear.

Maybe…maybe you should own up to it when there is still a chance and save Elder Randy’s life. I am

sure the King will be merciful with your punishment.”

Jstood perfectly still.

A chill was sent down her spine.

She suddenly understood what was going on.

…This was a trap.

Carefully designed for her.

She couldn’t be sure earlier…but Annie’s lie confirmed everything.

Annie lied to frher.

And how had the power to manipulate Annie?

Jglared at Agnes with cold eyes.

Seconds later, she turned to Westin, “Do you believe in me

Westin’s jaw tensed.

…You have a motive,” he said sullenly.

She wanted to punch him in the face, “What fucking motive?! I just met the man. You introduced him to

me, remember?!”

Jfound his theory so absurd that she almost laughed, “Is that what YOU think?!”

Jballed her fists, body shaking in rage.

How could she hand over the cure that didn’t exist?

But she didn’t have any proof of her innocence.

So what should she do now?

Fought back?

Or own up to the crshe didn’t commit?

Right at this extremely tense moment, a voice cfrom outside of the room

-HOLD ON! I have a witness!!!
