Chapter 42: Demir
On the full moon night, the entire city of beasts was in turmoil. Beastmen were terrified after discovering poison in females' food. Beast kings of respective tribes were gathered in the meeting room of the wolf king's castle. The peacock king slammed his hand on the table "How could something like this transpire? The eagle tribe were the ones handling the food provided for females, we should hear thier explanation"
The eagle king narrowed his eyes "Do you mean to say that we were the ones who caused this?"
Peacock king snickered "I'm just asking for an explanation, why are you getting all worked up if you didn't commit any mistake?"
"You!" eagle king said clenching his teeth
The lion king glanced at both and tsked "Our females are in life or death situation and you both are fighting? We should first find the antidote for the poison"
The wolf king nodded his head "Leo is right, we should focus on what is important, finding the culprit can be done later" then turned to the doctor "Did you find something about the poison or antidote?"
The doctor bowed his head and informed "The food that females consumed was mixed with pokeweed, it is a poisonous weed grown in the faraway cliffs which cause nausea, vomiting, and stomach ache. Fortunately, the amount mixed was small or thier were chances of deaths. But it is very harmful to pregnant females, they have half a day at most to survive, we should find the antidote as soon as possible"
Wolf king frowned "How did it even get mixed in the food?"
The doctor glanced at the fox king and received a nod from him "Your majesty, it can travel through the air sometimes or get mixed with other herbs, I don't think someone mixed it purposely"
Still, in doubt, the wolf king squinted his eyes "Are you sure about this?"
The doctor nodded his head and clenched his fist behind his back. The lion king looked at the doctor "Do you know how to make the antidote?"
