Chapter 106: Sugar Cube

'I have to make sure I get the sugar cube from her jar to cancel out the poison without looking suspicious,' Swan told herself. She glanced at her jar and made a 'clumsy' attempt by accidentally pushing it out of the table when she opened the jar.

The loud sound of a glass jar shattering on the ground alerted everyone inside Lady Jade's room. There was a long silence until Swan broke the silence by smiling pretentiously. 

"I'm so sorry. My hand was a little shaky just now. The cold must've gotten into me," Swan said innocently, before turning her gaze to her cat maid, "Maya, please clean it up."

"Yes, Princess," Maya hurriedly grabbed a broom and cleaned up the shattered glass shards on the ground. 

"Ah, but I still want to drink the tea with sugar, since I don't like bitter tea," Swan sighed with a thin smile. She glanced at Myra and said, "Myra, can you help me take two sugar cubes from Lady Jade's jar? I prefer my tea to be super sweet."
