427 The King's Illusion

Mika stared at the small vial in Ailwin's hands, she wanted to snatch it. The need to get one of her nanos in it to analyze the substance to know if it's safe to drink or not, was almost overriding to logic; and doing so would definitely bring more attention to herself.

Ailwin could also tell that Mika wanted to do something that would potentially make the King notice her more.

To stop her from acting, he popped the cork and was going to down the potion until Mikaela spilled her glass of water on herself, causing her to jump with a start.

Bumping into his raised arm, Ailwin used this chance to let the vial fall from his hand onto the floor.

*Clink!*

The bottle crashed to the floor, leaking all the liquid inside. Mika and Ailwin though did a mental high-five to one another with their eyes.

"...….." 

Nobody said anything until Mika said, "Oops! Did I do that?... Sorry."

"Sorry!? That is all she can say!"
