Princess Alexis was on the ground, unconscious. Two servants were dead on the floor, decapitated by her guard, while one was sobbing in the corner with her hands on her head.
There was shouting in the corridors, but Dominic couldn't tell what it was as he cast [Mage Armour] to block the first strike of the Royal Guards.
"It's me. There were Dragonberries in my food. What were her symptoms?" He demanded.
"High fever, then unconsciousness. The room is soundproofed, and we didn't notice until the guards inside failed to check in." The guard reported, with his blade still on Dominic's neck.
"Where are the other guards?"
"They all ate lunch."
That explained it. Only the ones on guard duty at the door didn't eat at the same time, for security's sake. So, half the team was out of action. But not for much longer.
"I need your canteen." Dominic insisted, just now realizing that the coffee could well have been the drugged part of the meal.
It wouldn't do to feed that to anyone else.
