Chapter 38: BURIED NEXT TO ME
They didn’t have any idea what the Brettel flowers were, more so that the plant was actually a poisonous plant.
"Poisonous plant? Are you sure?" Lance’s face turned serious and Pyro glared at Dawn, asking for explanation in this matter, while Darius was alerted seeing how the situation escalated. He moved closer to Zenith and Dawn, just in case things went south.
"Yes!" Aurel nodded, her green eyes blasted with confidence. "Tell me if that’s not a poisonous plant. Do you dare to lie?"
Zenith glanced at Dawn, but he didn’t budge from his position, shielding his woman, but Dawn’s next statement surprised all of them.
"I have never said that the Brettel flower is not poisonous. Yes, it’s a poisonous plant," Dawn admitted lightly.
"See?!" Aurel pointed her accusatory finger at Dawn. Her eyes widened in disbelief. "She tried to poison the King! This is an act of treason! She tried to kill the King!"
The accusation was very heavy. Admitting that the Brettel flower was a poisonous plant was one thing, but being accused of attempting to kill the king was a serious matter.
"You heard what she said! You need to capture her and throw her in the dungeon!" Aurel was livid.
Dawn didn’t understand where her hostility came from when they had never been entangled in any altercation before this.
"Lady Dawn, please provide your explanation," Pyro said. He didn’t immediately do what Aurel told him to do. After all, he was the royal beta, he didn’t take any orders other than the ones from the king.
"You should catch her immediately! Why do you need an explanation from her?!" Aurel was being vicious and loud.
