Chapter 16
Alex's body was stunned, he did not expect that there would be a situation now. Conditions where you don't believe in yourself. "You're lying.." want to deny everything but the scar on his left calf is real evidence, now it's just a matter of checking Esmera's calf if there really is a similar wound.
"Prince Otis, can you check my calf for evidence. If put together with the wound on Prince Alex's calf, the two wounds would be fused."
Prince Otis did not want to be careless to see Esmera's body but this was for proof, he lifted the blanket covering the back of Esmera from below. Pulling the blanket up, sure enough there is a scar that does not disappear.
"No!!!" Alex shook his head in disbelief when he saw the wound.
"Do you know Alex? After helping you out, my dress got wet and I kept on wearing it. After coming home I even had a high fever for 3 days even my mother said I almost lost my life. But because my thoughts were fixed on you for worrying and wanting to see you soon, I strengthened myself to heal. But when you meet again, you never even look at me and just keep smiling at Princess Abigail. I-i-"
"Enough, don't continue. I see," said Prince Otis in a soft voice, he also did not want to hear any more of Esmera's feelings for Alex.
"You want me to investigate the cello case? Are you suspicious of someone who wants to frame you?" ask Prince Otis.
"I'm suspicious of Princess Abigail, but I don't know her motives." Safire.
"Hm, what do you think Lex?" Prince Otis turned to face his nephew, but he was surprised to see Alex's face hit.
"Is he in shock?" murmured Prince Otis.
"Supply the investigation for me, Prince. I don't want to justify my actions because of my rude attitude towards all the servants in Prince Alex's residence, even though it's because I'm lonely there and end up always venting on all the servants. But, I can't accept being framed by someone even that person willingly endanger the life of a child. You gotta get the culprit, promise?"
Prince Otis looked at Safire meaningfully, the man smiled. A smile that could even melt the hearts of the Lady out there who was scrambling to be with him.
"I promise, now rest. I'll talk to my father about this. I must be looking forward to the news that Prince Yaron is also waiting for your arrival in his room. I will inform the Emperor of your current state that is not possible. Waitaminute! I just remembered, why is it that with a wound on your body like this you can still move like a healthy person?"
"Prince Alex says I've taken a toxax pill that freezes my blood, what-"
"ALEX....!!!" Prince Otis has exhausted his patience, even his nephew is not a human being anymore. "Basic monster!"
The effect of the drug toxax is very dangerous, it will weaken the nerves and harm organs in the body. Although the efficacy of the drug is extraordinary, but its side effects are very dangerous. If not used for urgent conditions, the pill should not be used carelessly. Each Prince has 3 pills, it is used for emergencies if the enemy succeeds in injuring the Prince even to the point of threatening life. It was in a state of complete desperation!
Behind the Palace Prince Alex was staring at the pool where he used to almost drown, rather someone gave him medicine and drowned him in the pool. There was someone who wanted to kill him, that was why he was so grateful to the person who had helped him. All this time he thought it was Princess Abigail, but now..is it true what Princess Esmera said? Esmera was the one who saved him? The thought continued to rage until it made his chest tight.
