Chapter 182: the stimulants

Cassius pov

"So they are enemies now!! Tell me, your highness, why are you bearing with them when they are enemies? Just because they are your wife's family?" her words were laced with poison, there was no doubt that she was suspicious about my intentions now, and wanted to know the truth.

Should i tell her or not, she had also told me the truth, without any comment or prejudice, though her plan was still dramatic, but it may humiliate them publicly and turn them further desperate.

"Marianne, it is a long story but the main point is i am in good relationship with marquees Wiltshire family, because of" i stopped midway when i heard the footsteps and saw Killian was just a few steps away as he was coming to us, with a big smile on his face.

She also looked back and sighed, her face was filled with disappointment which she covered with a smile when Killian approached us.

"I apologise, for keeping you standing here all the time, mother" he said as he looked at her and she hugged him, his hands engulfed her waist and she ruffled a hand in his sticky hairs that were full of sweat, i was sure his body was no different, yet look at the smile on her face as if that was the best moment of her life.

They both whenever were together seem to forget about my existence completely!!

"I was also standing there all the time with your mother." i said as he did not even greet me except a nod.

"You are trained for it father as you mostly stand all the day in the training ground or in the town when you went for inspection"

I heard her laugh gently as he finally got separated to her, why did they behave intimately all the time!

"You should try riding the horse at this time mother, the weather is very pleasant today, it was the first rain of the season"

"I would love to, but my hands are injured so I can not do it for now."

"Mother, would you share the horse with me, as you can not ride by yourself for the meantime"

"You are in a learning stage and so as she, you can not ride together, but if you still want to ride I can share the horse with you," I offered and her eyes met mine, and her ears turned red. she must be thinking about the time we had spent in the forest.

I coughed to get her attention back and she blinked then shook her head,

"I think I am too tired to ride a horse, we will ride it some other day." 

Was she not ready to ride it a few moments ago, when Killian offered him!

"Then let's go and take rest, today was a long day"

She looked at me reluctantly but nodded at the end, as she held his hand and they both walked away.

"Call the physician Francis"

"Yes, your highness"

I walked into my chamber and sat there contemplating. Shall I take her out for a picnic or something away from the palace with only trusted people around, so that we could talk and share facts, but then how would I explain to Killian why he could not go!

"Your highness" the man came and bowed his head.

"It has been 3 days, I want to know about her reports, what she consumed when she got unconscious that day" I asked and the man took parchment out of his bag, as if he was already expecting this question.

"Your highness, the alcohol or medicine she had taken had strong stimulants. stimulants can cause over-stimulation, causing, high emotions, anger or sadness, anxiety, panic, seizures, headaches, stomach cramps, aggression and paranoia.

Then to balance it she had taken a medicine with a large amount of depressants depressant, is a drug that lowers neurotransmission levels, which is to depress or reduce arousal or stimulation, in various areas of the brain.

Depressants are also occasionally referred to as "downers" as they lower the level of arousal when taken.. But it may affect the thinking capacity of the brain as it slows down a lot, and then the drinks and wine, it is a deadly combination for the brain if taken regularly, patients' brains could malfunction forever.

And if she is already addicted then she had to take the remedial classes and stay away from all kinds of alcohol too" he continued explaining and my brows furrowed, Marianne did not seem to be addicted to these kinds of.... Then my eyes widened as I realised how these drugs went into her system.

"Leave" I shouted and the physician who was still speaking looked at me with confusion. But when his eyes met mine, he gulped, took his bag, and left the room that instant.

"Francis"

"Call her highness, this instant" I shouted and the man ran away in case my anger burst upon him.

There was a reason why daisy was there, yet the dumb woman did not understand, all she do was to be angry and grumbling all the time.

I pinched the space between my eyebrows as the headache seemed to return.

"Your highness"

"Her highness is already slept, the maids said she was very tired and went to sleep the moment she returned from the evening walk, and she had denied to wake her up for dinner too"

"You may leave"

"Yes your highness"

I walked as i opened a crate containing various tea and food, i had taken them a few time too, unknowingly that i have been calling my death in the name of food served by loving in laws until i got sick once and realized they had starting using this method after the death of her daughter to control me.

The food they sent I had made sure it got discarded that instant in the name of security of the palace, then how did it reach her, unless she had personally received it, there was no chance that it had been with her
