King Tobias Aventine was in his daughter's room, sitting right next to her bed. The royal doctor was also in the room, checking the Princess's condition. When the doctor checked Princess Iria's pulse, he pulled a long face.
"Is her condition that bad, doctor?" The King asked, narrowing his eyes at his only daughter with concern.
His wife the late Queen died when the twins' Princess Iria and Prince Orius were just two years old. Since then, his only daughter became the apple of his eye. However, the Princess always had weak health just like her mother and now, with poison running in her body, she had become weaker each day.
"Though Her Highness take the antidote, the poison already affect her organs. I'm afraid that we will have to prepare for the worst, Your Majesty." The doctor informed the King with regret.
