Chapter 205: poison side effects
The paper burnt into crisps in Cedric’s hands as soon as he read the last word. Evelyn was his trusted eyes and ears by Abrielle’s side. This explained why she was so busy not to reply to his letters.
He knew there was something weird about Abrielle’s relationship with Alfonso but yet he finds it hard to believe. Abrielle was aware of Alfonso’s nature, so why would she want to be entangled with his half-brother? Of all the scumbags, it just had to be Alfonso.
A dry laugh left his lips; he guessed he had to return earlier than planned to see things for himself. He was starting to think getting rid of his opposition to the throne should not wait longer.
He wanted to write back to Evelyn but he decided against it. Instead, he wrote to the king he needed answers to why his wife was attacked under the king’s roof, but no one informed him. Just the thought she was his wife did leave a burning feeling in his chest.
He got up from the desk carrying the letter in his hand as he made his way down to the dining room. Close to the stairs, he ran into the butler, who seemed to be heading up.
"I was about to invite you for dinner." The butler informed him. Cedric nodded then handed over the letter. "It should be sent to the king and also invite the warehouse managers over for an emergency meeting. There has been a change in plans." Cedric informed.

Back at Vitalis completely unaware of the storm that might be approaching her. Abrielle was making steady progress in her health and has grown used to Alfonso’s visit.
The rumours had gotten to her ears, but she was powerless to stop Alfonso from visiting, and he didn’t seem bothered. Although he didn’t come frequently like bothering her to have tea and whatever. It wasn’t like that. He mostly came in person to deliver herbs and check her condition.
