Chapter 244 - Scheme Unfolded!

When Alan entered the room, he felt something wrong. He then closed his eyes and spread his awareness all around the room and found traces of familiar type of poison which he had healed himself and his family members before starting his journey more six months ago.

Before Alan could speak, a stern looking middle aged women entered the room holding a steaming cup and was surprised to see Kristina standing there. Although she recoverd quickly from her shock, her reaction didn't escaped Alan's gaze.

"Kristina dear, did you get the Wood Betony?"

"Yes healer Tiana. Here it is." Kristina handedover an exquisite looking wooden box to Tiana.

"Alas, my child you were too late. I am afraid your mother will not be able to withstand the potency of the medicine. Her heart had became weak and her lungs might fail at any time. I tried my best your grace but, I am truely sorry I was not good enough to save lady, Dyna. I believe this would be the last thing she can have." Tiana brought her hand forward which was holding a cup seemed to contain steaming liquid inside it.

This is a herbal tea, to sooth the pain lady Dyna is suffering. There are some herbs that will help numb her pain. Here your grace, please give it to her from your own hand. She loved you the most. Let her have her last meal from your hand itself." The healer looked sad and tears started to fall from her eyes.

The Duke and Kristina were almost in trans. Kristina felt numb all over and tears started to flow freely from her eyes, "After going through all the trouble and getting the Wood Betony, her mother would still pass away without consuming it!!!"

The Duke looked like a dead man walking, felt like his sould had already left him, stretched forth his hand to get the cup of herbal tea and feed it to the love of his life for the last time. A strong hand pushed his hand away and snatched the cup.

Before everyone came to their senses, Alan held the jaw of Tiana, opend it forcefully and poured all the content inside her throat. The hold on her chin was so tight that she was forced to gulp the liquid completly.

Then Alan let her chin go and jabbed her thighs with his index fingers making her collapse on the spot.

Screaming in pain, Tiana started coughing, laying on the ground. Her eyes bulged and she was looking panicked now.

"Your grace. She is the one responsible for the deterioration of your wife's condition. She had been feeding her with a kind of poison that's rare and generally inaccessible in this Kingdom"

"Alan are you sure about it? She had been taking care of my mother since 3 years. And her health started to get worst since only a couple of month now." Kristina asked in shock.

"What is happening here, Kristina? Who is this man? How can he accuse healer Tiana without even meeting her properly or knowing her." The Duke started to get angry.

"Father, Alan here is also a magical healer. A good one at that. I had seen him heal Quinton completely of his hip injury within a few seconds before coming here."

"What!!!! How did you know about Quinton's hip injury? He was hiding it from almost everyone."

"Alan here observed his limp. And after a few seconds of healing, Quinton is completely healed now father."

"What about this Alan, she pointed her finger at the women who was on ground, coughing and looking dazed.

"Wait for just a moment Lady Kristina, Your Grace, if she wants to live, she will spill out everything herself. Because the herbal tea which you were about to make your wife drink was poisoned."

Both Duke Ravenheart and Kristina were dumbstruck by Alan's words.

After a few more seconds of coughing, the women looked around and tried to stand up but failed. Then she remembered something and started to sweat crazily.

" Healer Tiana, I hope you are finding the herbal tea as soothing as you told to Duke Ravenheart here?"

The face of the women turned pale. "I... I..... "

"What happened healer Tiana? Are you suddenly feeling hot all over your body? Then I believe the poison you had mixed in this tea had began it's work."

"Your grace, Kristina please save me. The tea was poisoned. Young man please save me. Tiana started to beg them all and was acting senseless in panic."

The Duke and her daughter were shocked to their core. Both their faces starting to turn red with anger. The Duke shuddered thinking about how close he got feeding poison to the love of his life with his own hands.
