Sylvia raked her brain trying to think of a solution to her current predicament.
She could recognize the signs of poisoning but what more can she possibly do about this?
The devil had warned her repeatedly about stepping outside of this castle but now she had absolutely no other choice.
She needed to go out and get some help. Her time was running out.
As Sylvia scrambled to get up, and hurriedly lifted the edges of her dress, preparing to run, she noticed a small piece of crumpled paper on the floor.
She hadn't noticed it earlier, probably because she had inadvertently sat on it.
But now that she had seen it, she picked it up with her slender hands in order to take a quick look.
"Rosemary"
"Ginseng"
"Ruby leaves"
"Beetroot stalk"
"Aren't these all herbs?" Sylvia pondered out loud.
Now that she was standing, she also saw a bunch of green leaves sprawled on the kitchen counter messily.
Mud and dirt were everywhere and it was hard to miss.
