Fight! I am not afraid!

" Has everything been prepared?" The Duke asked for the hundredth time as he turned to look at his aide who lowered his head and cursed him in the head before raising his head and taking a look at the Duke with a wide smile. " Yes milord, everything has been set.. the Queen would not be able to escape today no matter what." 

After brainstorming for a long time Duke Cilantro and Duke Balzac came up with the idea of intoxicating the Queen with the blood of a mermaid. They were rare creatures and the empire placed a strict prohibition on the illegal trade of the blood of the mermaid, however even though the empire has put a stop to the illegal buying and selling of the blood of mermaids, the black market has always been on the move no matter what.
