"Someone! Anyone out there! Bring the royal physician!" Ashen's voice rang through the chamber, with panic.
Within moments, Stella and Ero rushed in, their faces pale with alarm as they saw Lumina in a weak state.
"My lady… what is wrong?" Stella asked, moving quickly to Lumina's side.
"Po… poison," Ashen managed to choke out, his hand trembling as he reached toward her. But Lumina, despite her weakness, pushed her hands forward.
"It won't reach me. I just… need to flush it," she whispered, her voice faint.
Stella's eyes widened, but she nodded immediately. "My Lord, please… I can take care of her."
Ashen's brows furrowed. "What? She is poisoned, and you would have me leave her in your care?"
"Ero! Go and fetch the royal physician!" Ashen barked. Ero spun on his heel to obey, but shook his head in worry.
"She doesn't need a physician," Stella murmured, weakly lifting her hand and immediately she rushed outside leaving Ashen confused.
