Chapter 11: Failed poisoning attempt
Abrielle was left breathless, ' what the hell just happened?' her thoughts screamed. She struggled to sit up but her body was heavy. In between her legs, down to her thigh, were already sticky.
She was completely aroused, and for a split second, she would have given in to the devil. She didn't know if she should be mad or not because he left.
This was frustrating. After she managed to sit up and catch her breath, she tried to get up from the bed, but her legs were wobbly. She fell on the ground, and as if the goddess was on her side, she saw her earrings. She reached out for it under the bed while still lying on the floor.
It was a bit far off, and she had to crawl under the bed before she could successfully reach it. While crawling out, she mistakenly bumped her shoulders with the bed, and it hurt so bad she screamed. "Ahhh, bloody hell." But quickly covered her mouth with her hands.
She should not be using cuss words like that in this world. There was a knock on the door; one of the guards on watch must have heard her scream. "Are you alright, your Highness?" She heard the voice ask with urgency.
"I am fine, no need to bother." She urgently said, but dear God, her shoulders were aching. She could not let anyone find out about the poison or she would be charged with treason for attempting to kill a member of the royal family.
Her shoulders were red, and it was obvious it would have a bad swell tomorrow. She had to think of a story to tell the maids tomorrow.
Ignoring the pain in her shoulder she opened the vial containing the antidote. Her life was more important at the moment. The liquid dropped from the earrings into her mouth.
"Why is it one drop?" She asked out loud with her brows furrowed. That was when she realized the earrings had broken. She was exasperated, maybe a drop would be enough to cure her.
