He took out one of the dishes and a drink that contained poison. His eyes looked furious, so he let me eat two different kinds of dishes. The dish that he took out is my favorite and they knew that I would choose it. I didn't expect that they would poison me in front of the King. It made me lose my appetite. That's why I only ate a few and drank more of the smoothie. Then, he stood and took my hand.
"Are you sure that you are well?" I asked him. He didn't say anything, but he carried me out to a bed and tossed me there. I watched him remove his robe as he pulled my ankle close to him.
