Part 20

THE KINGDOM OF CUPPER (THE KING'S ROOM)

INTRO: Calian walk Quart to the king's quarter while he explained his symptoms after he visited the lake of Eigio. He also informed him about the king's little improvement and all the medication he has used to cure the king.


CALIAN: I will advise you to be very careful while attending to the king, the queen is very sensitive and that is why I told them to give you privacy, to be able to concentrate properly

QUART: (smile softly) I can't thank you enough, I will forever remember your kindness

CALIAN: (he nodded) alright you can attend to the king now


QUART: he is deeply asleep?


CALIAN: he has been sleeping for three months


QUART: (surprised) ah!


CALIAN: well is that a problem?


QUART: (tremble) no, I shall attend to him now

(He placed his hand's on the king to check his temperature, he opened his pupil and check his body to see if he has boils and finally open his mouth to check his tongue)


CALIAN: so what did you find?


QUART: (He cleared his throat) hm hm, he has been poisoned


CALIAN: did I hear you properly, Poisoned!


QUART: dont get me wrong, he wasnt poisoned by anyone but himself. (He opened the king's mouth again to show Calian the yellow substance in his tongue) can you see the yellow spots?


CALIAN: yes


QUART: this is the particle from the rayen flower, the color of the flower initially is pink but when eaten with persimmon fruit, it is poisonous. I heard the king like flowers and sometimes he love to taste them; he must have tasted the rayen flower with persimmon during his journey to the lake of Eigio

CALIAN: (amazed) ah! Yes! Right, the king loves persimmon, he must have taken some with him to the lake of Eigio

QUART: (feeling assured) I will give him an antidote to clear his tongue, I'm sure he will be fine after some hours


CALIAN: I shall relay the good news to the Queen, you've done well
(He smiled at Quarts)


QUART: (he nodded) thank you
