Adelina run through the woods dressed in one of her nightgown and came to the lake nearby The Dreams of Fire's nest when Christian showed up behind her in his nightshirt and he hugged her from behind before taking off her nightgown, pushing her towards the water before taking off his nightshirt. "Christian!," Adelina warned, laughing. Christian then took her into his arms and carried her down into the warm water. Adelina laughed and kissed him deeply after he had let her into the water. They didn't noticed Cerridwen who was watching them from afar and now the casting of the curse was approaching. The only thing that was now missing was Henry to die before the curse was unleashed.
Henry sat alone in the dining hall, eating dinner when Melinda entered the hall. "Father?," she asked. Henry looked up and smiled towards his daughter and smiled softly. "Melinda, come and join me," he said. Melinda smiled and made her way over to the seat beside her father and sat down and began to eat her dinner. "How tragic this is, father," she began, "Christian betraying his own father, his King for the love of sorceress," Henry turned to his daughter. "It will change," he explained, "He'll come back once he's come to his senses," Melinda nodded, "But that can take long," Henry smiled at his daughter. "This is nothing you should concern yourself with," he explained and a guard entered the hall and Henry turned towards him. Once he was busy talking to the guard, Melinda took her chance and poured a potion into her father's wine. Poison to be exact. Henry sat down once the guard had left and Melinda raised her glass. "I would like to propose a toast for The House Of Westrose's future reign," she announced. Henry smiled and the toasted their glasses. "To The House of Westrose," Henry said and they drank some wine and Melinda glanced at her father.
Melinda walked through the woods to her meeting spot with Cerridwen who soon showed up to meet her. "I have all ingredients to the curse," she explained, "Is it done?," Melinda smiled wickedly. "Henry is soon going to be out of the way," she explained. Cerridwen smiled wickedly, "Good! Now we just have to wait for Christian to get the news of his father's death. Not even a half demon, half elf can escape the poison of the Wilmara,"
Emmett sighed deeply as he placed a wet cold cloth on Henry's feverish forehead. "How can this have happened so suddenly?," Gwydion questioned confused, "His food is tested before every meal," Emmett sighed and looked up at the young warlock. "I fear that Melinda is not your good secret apprentice as we thought, Gwydion," the old physician explained, "Melinda is the only one who could have poisoned the King," Gwydion sighed and looked up at him. "She plans to take the throne and kill Christian," he explained. "Or worse," Emmett sighed, "Much worse,"
