Poison
515 Words
Lucy walked out of the room with her army knight, those knights have been captured and detained. She was frowning unconsciously, hopefully those witches do not get to know that she knows about them and that she has a personal army. She has asked the army of the nation to stay put; she knows there soon will be war.
Knights opened the door of prison for her as she entered, knights looked at their Queen. They do not know what is happening but they felt very weak. Even though they have been kept in a prison but this prison was lavishly decorated, and felt like a royal room. Lucy could not bring herself to treat them cruelly as they are being controlled and it is not their fault.
“You guys have been fed ricin, in small quantity”
Knights eyes widened; Ricin is a poison that could kill not only vampires but every species. Small quantity of ricin could make everyone really weak, so weak that they can not use their powers; but the question is why their Queen would deliberately poison them?
Lucy laid down a file in front of them and gestured them to read it. One of the knights picked up the file with shivering hands and started to read. His face went pale as he went on reading, seeing such drastic change in their friend's facial expression, they all started to read together sitting close and same thing happened to all of them. They looked up at their Queen shivering, they do not know when and why they plotted against their King.
Lucy sighed as she shook her head, she leaned back on the chair as four knights behind her looked at the traitor knights with pointed look, for them these knights are traitor and weak. How can a highly trained vampire be this easy to control?
“Relax it is not your fault, I will destroy every single witch alive and then whoever has been enchanted will be released. Until then you guys will be fed Ricin in small quantity, so that you do not contact witches unconsciously.”
All of them nodded mutely, they would not even complain if they are fed poison in large amount. They just want to die right now; just how could they harm someone they swore to protect. Lucy looked them with pity, she could see self-hatred in their eyes but she cannot help them with that; only Russel can. Till Russel tell them and explain to them that he is okay and he does not blame them; nothing can happen.
“My Queen, Lady Agnes has asked for your audience.”
Lucy looked in surprise, she never thought Agnes will come to talk to her personally. She nodded as she got up and walked out without looking back. Knights finally shed some tears; they are feeling helpless, pathetic; they did so much training just for some witch to control them so easily. Are they even allowed to call themselves knights?
One of the knights stood up and walked towards one of the bed; siting down with his head in his hands. None of them could form any word.
