“It is poison, Your Majesty,” the physician confirmed.
He had spent the better part of twenty minutes now inspecting Doris’ unconscious body. She had eventually fallen unconscious after bouts of coughing up blood and screaming, though they sounded more choked than anything. Her entire face had gone red, and her eyes bloodshot. It was brutal and unlike anything I had ever seen.
“Who?” Vadon asked stiffly, an anger building up in his voice that I could tell even by the tone.
The physician shook his head as he looked up to the king, and then back to the various vials of substance that he had brought with him. He had placed some of Doris’ blood with another substance, and mixed it until the vial changed into a shade that he seemed happy with.
Perhaps happy was the wrong word.
