"Are you alright?" Rose asked and Diva looked at her with dizziness.
"What... what did you put in those pies?" Diva asked.
"The pies...? I wasn't actually the one that made..." Rose was still explaining but couldn't finish her statement when Diva fell down and collapsed on the floor.
"Oh my goodness! Diva!" Rose yelled out in surprise as she threw away the plate and the remaining foods inside fell on the floor.
But that's exactly what anyone else in her shoe would do, why would she save something she just discovered that it was poisoned.
"Diva! are you okay?" She asked in fear thinking that Diva is dead as she rushed her on the floor trying to get her back to her feet.
But someone that cannot even open her eyes how will she be able to stand on her feet? isn't it obviously impossible?
"Diva...? please get! you are scaring me! what is the matter with you?" Rose asked as she immediately dropped her back.
"Wait a minute! she was trying to poison me?" Rose asked and approached the remaining foodstuffs and started gazing at it surprisingly.
"So... is it that she actually wanted to poison me or what? and now Diva have eaten from it just to collapse on the floor?" Rose muttered in her mind as she was breathing heavily.
Without a waste of time she ran back to Diva who was on the floor like a lifeless body.
"Somebody help me! some body help!" she screamed with a loud voice and no one showed up.
She screamed for about few more seconds and not even a single person came to help her and she was left surprised wondering if Diva was at peace at all with even a single person of them all that is working at the bar.
So, as no one showed up she decided to go and call for help by herself.
"Hold on Diva, just give me some minutes and I will be right back! I'm coming back, trust me!" She said with a hurried and scared voice before running out of the room as her body is shaking in fear.
Thinking that she has lost her friend, although she's aware that if anything happens to Diva she will be hold responsible for it.
People would think that she is the one that wanted to kill her but not when she exposes the lady that gave her the food stuffs as a gift.
However, just immediately Rose was running out of the room she met some knights waiting her with swords in their hands but she however didn't even suspected that they are here for her but she ran to them calling for helping instead.
"Please help me my friend is dying! I don't know what happened to her but you really need to see her, please I need to take her to a healer! I need your help" she requested as the knights looks at each other.
And that was when she came to realize that she's in danger, the look in their faces wasn't pure at all and so she halted and started moving backwards.
"I thought you were calling for help so why are you now being afraid of them don't you need their help anymore...? isn't it because you know the game you are paying?" A lady's voice said to her from behind and she looked back just to discover that it was her friend.
Not Diva but the lady that gave her poisoned food. "Bitch! you are the one who knows the game that you are playing! what did you put in that food that you gave me! Diva is dying in there!" Rose yelled angrily at her.
But she doesn't know that the lady can pretend this much, she thought that she know this lady but she's just discovering that she know nothing about her.
"Oh my gosh... Diva...? what have you done to her what have you done to my friend, I hope she's not yet dead! your plan is to kill her because she exposed you!" the lady yelled as she ran out of their midst and headed inside to see Diva.
Then Rose looks around, looking at the faces of this knights then she knew that she's dead already, there is nothing written in their faces but bitterness and death.
"She did it! I told you guys that is what she's planning! and her plan didn't fail her! she killed her!!" The lady accused her with so much boldness then she started moving backwards in fear and was almost crying.
"Please don't listen to her she's a liar! I didn't do it! it was her who poisoned Diva! Diva is my friend and I will never try to poison her at any cost, either she exposed me, betray me or even try to kill me I wouldn't think of such" Rose said almost in tears and then Stewart stepped forward all of a sudden.
"Miss Rose! you have been found guilty for having a hand and hiding the people that have a hand in the disappearance of the princess, seize her!" Stewart ordered and the guards grabbed her immediately as she started screaming.
"No! get away from me!" She screamed while the lady as well interrupted.
"It seems that you wasn't passing the total judgment on her! don't forget that she just poisoned someone here, that judgment especially have to be included!" The lady shouted as they drags her away then Diva stepped out of the room.
"Diva, you are such a genius, it worked out just the way you planned it" the lady said to her but Diva's face wasn't looking good.
"What's up with you?" The lady asked as Diva swallowed her saliva.
"I shouldn't have done this to her, she was my friend and will never do such a thing to me, she trusted me but I betrayed her trust" Diva said while the lady put her hands on her waist.
"Well, that should be a matter we should discuss later but as of now let's go and claim our reward, our most precious prize! come on let's go get it, it's awaiting us" the lady said excitedly.

River's Kingdom.
DK and his team has already camped at the Island besides the sea waiting for the stranger's arrival.
The day is already getting dark and they have made fires and sat around it.
"Honestly I don't understand why it is taking the stranger a whole day to arrive? if he is really coming he is supposed to have been here already!" Mabel said but Medusa questioned and doubted her statement.
"I disagree with that, you know how many days it will take you from the stranger's den to this place? we should be talking of days but we have only spent some hours here? why should you be expecting him that quick?" Medusa asked and Yuri was the one that responded to her statement instead of Mabel.
"The Stranger doesn't make use of normal transport! he uses portal" Yuri replied while Medusa widened her eyes in surprise.
"If..." Medusa wanted to say a word but Yuri interrupted her.
"Wait a minute! I can feel a great presence of danger arriving! everyone get ready!" Yuri alerted as DK stood to his feet and took out his swords and then a heavy wind started blowing around.
And as the wind became more heavier the fire they have made went off.
