Harls Mlinched a little bit Prince William hered to help her up. A flash of something that looked life He

neid his feature but it was gone before the could focus on L He gently removed her chains and hauled

her to her wet, his eyes searched her face when she wined but he said nothing. Prince Jacht Binod and

stumbled out as the daar as he was Erying to beat them to the court, but Prince William Lared him as he

took – handkerchief from his jucket and dabbed at the blood on her face. The soft

esture surprised her more than he allowed to show. He was a close to her, their faces only inches apart

and for once he didn’t look angry ar annoud with her. Her shaly hand took the cloth from him and wiped

some of the blood herself he watched her for a moment with a frow before he turned and made his way

to the door. It is obvious he wanted her te follow him, she allowed herself to catch her breath before she

limped after him. Prince Jack must have hit her left leg harder than she thought, it was agonizing to even

put a little pressure on it. Prince William didn’t rush her, he showed his steps when he realized she

couldn’t walk very fast. For a moment, it looked like he wanted to offer his um but looked angry at himself

for even considering being nice. He probably felt bad she was almost beaten to her death before a fair

judging. It was a miracle that the trial was moved to nightfall, otherwise she wasn’t sure if she would

have survived till morning. She’d never forget the

William hadn’t interfered. For OTH in her life, she was grateful to him Once they pushed through the

doon, a silence fell over the inside. All eyes fell on Doris and she wished she could have hidden behind

Prince William’s large frame but she kept firm and walked

There was a small podium with large tables on each side. One for the defense and the other for

prosecution she assumed. Doris had never been in this room of the palace, she always thought she was

lucky to be so far away from any of the courts business. Not today, it seemed. How did she get here?

Just a few months ago, the library was all she’d known. Now it seemed she was the only one most of the

royals glared at. There were more seats in the crowd for those to sit and watch what was to become of

her. It was filled with so many royals, it made her blood chill from the sight. The king was stated in a

throne by the table with his family spread on each side of him, he watched her with a little pity in his gaze

as she limped to the other table. Prince Jack was already Seated next to his mother, his suit had a bit of

her blood on it as well as some of his own from his nose. He glared at both of them from the second they

entered, she quickly looked away. A small sense of satisfaction grew inside her knowing he suffered a

little bit for what he did to her. Luna Queen sat tall and tense with Lady Grace Fearby. Prince Daniel was

seated away from them and he stood when he saw Doris. A flush of anger reddened his cheeks as he

glared at Prince William as if he thought he was the one that caused it. Doris wished she could silently

explain who it was hout

“Well, you look like you’ve had quite the night.”

Luis Queca leaned back in her chair and raised her com

et on with it then and charge her.” Prince William stepped up to the podium and straightened his jacket.

He didn’t spare on glance al Prince Jack as if he wasn’t even there. “Daris won’t be charged for

anything.” He said, ignoring the mummuring that exploded from his first Comnent. Doris thought it must

have been fare for anyone except his family to question Prince William *That’s absurd! She tried to kill

me!” Luna Queen shrieked above the voices. Doris swayed a little on her feet. “She didn’t. I found the

maid who put the Aconitum in the soup.” Prince Willam continued calmly, he raised his hand and the girl

came forward. Doris didn’t recognize the maid, but she looked as if she’d been crying all night. The way

she stared at Prince William made it obvious who she was to himni, though. “I-I did put the flower in the

soup, but I had no idea it was poison!” She cried. “I would have never done it if I’d known it was

poisoned. I just I didn’t want Prince William around Melody any longer. Everyone knows she doesn’t

deserve him. I thought I tried to frame Melody as the one who put the flower in Luna Queen’s bowl

because I knew she was allergic.”

King Charles slammed his own hand down on the Table when he’d had enough of their qiel. Doris

Flirched from the sound but remained silent. – That’s enough. We don’t need to sie here and listen to you

going back and forth to waste my time.” Prince William cleared his throt, Lunii Queen tumed red and

seated herself again. No one dared speak to out of turn- Prince Williarn only spoke again when King

Charles stüred for him to continue. “The flower that was placed in the soup was poisonous, but that

wasn’t the only poison found in the soup. A trace of minchirieel was mixed in as well. It’s one of the rarest

plants in this kingdamn that’s only grown in the north, usually it could only be found on the black market

for sale, Once digested, it can be deadly.” Hushed whispers broke when he mentioned the north.

Although the territory is ruled by house Amold, it was one of the most dangerous areas ini the whole

kingdom. Rogue packs that didn’t submit to the royal family roamed the area, even a prince wasn’t safe

in the north. In fact, they would only be more targeted. Whoever traveled to the blackmarket must have

been very determined to poison Luna Queen, Doris briefly wondered who hated her so

“Allow me to go to the north.” Prince William sad everyone silenced at his ward, “I have to find the truth

and bring justice to everyone involved in this case. I don’t think I’ll be able to do that if I stay

He was risking his life for this case-why? Doris realized he must have truly loved Melody to do something

like this for her. Prince Jack was wrong. he did care for her if he was willing to travel to the herth where

everyone knew he might not corne back from. While Prince William was a strong woli, it wouldn’t matter

if he found himself backed in a comer against hundreds of rogue, angry wolves that only wanted his

blood on their hands. “What are you going to do about the maid?” The king asked. Doris felt a Bttle dizzy,

she gripped onto the table to steady herself but no one seemed to notice. What would they do to her?

Throw her back into the cell until he retumed with some sort of evidence to free her? “Yes, what will you

do about her? It hasn’t been proven she wasn’t the one to poison the soup.” Luna Queen said with a

sheer in her tone. 2 “It’s not hert” Prince Daniel stood, his hands balled in fists at his sides. Doris would

have smiled at his attempt if she had the energy. Prince Jack scolfed, “How would you know if it was?”

“Doris would never poison anyone.” Daniel insisted. “She’s one of the kindest maids I’ve had the

pleasure of meeting in this palace.” “I didn’t realize you were so smitten with the pretty maid, Daniel.”

Prince Jack smirked as he leaned forward. He glanced at Prince William with a smuz

sort of expression. Prince William lifted his gaze to Daniel, a bit of imitation flickered in his eyes. “Why

would you ever act as if you know her more than anyone else in the

Their arguing faded away from Doris all at once. She tried to hold onto the light but the darkness swallowed her whole as she fell back into someone‘s grasp and saw no more.
