The tavern was bustling with people from all over the town, music, cheers, smell of an abundance of food, and all around good feelings filled the busy glowing building.
"You nervous?" Silvanus asked, nudging Theon.
"Hmph... Nah, nah... of course not." Theon shrugged it off, the two were leaning against one of the walls, staring at Lady Devereaux and Princess Athius, who were lost in conversation in one of the taverns many booths.
"Look around, everyone finally seems happy. I've never seen our people like this in quite some time."
Theon smirked, "Yeah, I guess you're right..."
The door suddenly burst open, interrupting the two best friends conversation, and a man in heavy armor entered the room with a large clunk on every step.
"Hello, sir." Commander Darius Maddox said, giving Theon a bow.
"Glad you could make it, General."
Several drinks later into the night, the group of officers and the soon-to-be king found themselves sitting around a large oval table.
"So, you used to be close to my father, Count Hath?"
Commander Maddox snapped his fingers, ordering a servant to bring more drinks.
"Yes, yes... We we're close friends."
A servant approached the table with a tray of drinks. Theon took one from the tray. "Thank you."
The servant shook, "H-him.." He handed one of the lords a drink, "Her..." he whispered to himself as he passed the bottles around the table.
They all cheered and took a swig.
"Did he ever, talk to you? In the last months away in the castle?"
"No... He hadn't..." Count Hath wiped sweat from his forehead, "Say, is it hot in here?"
"No... You alright?" Lord Friedlun replied.
"Yes, I'm fine... I must have drank too much..."
The table got lost in conversation before Lucien suddenly fell from his seat.
"Void! Are you alright?!" Theon and the others sprung from their seats.
Guards rushed to Luciens aid as the common-folk panicked and fled from the tavern.
"Get him upstairs! He needs medical assistance now!"
The guards ushered Lady Devereaux and Princess Athius out of the tavern to safety, leaving some guards to defend the king, while making sure that none of the evidence was touched.
"What the void is going on?" Antonia asked, trying to get a glimpse of the scene over the shoulder of the guard that was escorting her out. "Sorry m'lady, orders are to escort you out of here." Mathias commanded.
The lords rushed Lucien upstairs into one of the Inn rooms where the ill Count could rest.
"This couldn't be alcohol... It wouldn't have this effect..." Lord Friedlun mumbled what was on his mind.
"Am I gonna die?" Lucien panicked.
"No, no, you're alright, Silvanus is coming with his supplies."
"He drank the same as the rest of us.. It must be that cup..."
"Here, Lucien, use this bucket if you need to throw up."
"Poison..."
