I realized what was happening as soon as I'd finished drinking the wine in my goblet.
[k]
＠Cnoc na Riabh
The wine they were passing out had been poisoned.
[k]
＠Cnoc na Riabh
At least, the wine given to me, the northern faeries, and Altria's group.
[k]
＠Cnoc na Riabh
I'll be fine. I would've kicked the bucket a long time ago if my body couldn't handle a little poison.
[k]
＠Cnoc na Riabh
But I doubt Altria and [%1] can say the same.
[k]
＠Cnoc na Riabh
I took a casual look at the back row, and saw that none of them had touched their goblets.
[k]
＠Cnoc na Riabh
I don't know why that is[line 2]probably just a[sr]coincidence[line 2]but at least I knew they were safe.
[k]
＠Cnoc na Riabh
I can't imagine Altria would've caught on, so it must've been [%1]'s idea not to drink any.
[k]
＠Cnoc na Riabh
The northern faeries here are all my long-serving subjects, so their connection to me is strong.
[k]
＠Cnoc na Riabh
They should be able to handle the poison as well as I can. So I'll pretend nothing is wrong and let the coronation proceed.
[k]
＠Cnoc na Riabh
There's no way I'm letting anyone spoil things now.
[k]
＠Cnoc na Riabh
There's no telling when the Great Calamity could begin. Britain needs a new king as soon as possible.
[k]
＠Cnoc na Riabh
There's no question who tried to poison us, but I guess things just aren't going to go their way.[sr]Sucks to be the[line 2]

You can't trust a single word she says.
[k]
＠King Clan Faerie
Cnoc na Riabh is evil. The northern faeries have no place in Britain.
[k]
＠Cnoc na Riabh
But the second I saw which faeries were raising objections, I knew I was in trouble.
[k]
＠Cnoc na Riabh
The fact that members of my own clan were denouncing me meant that the enemy had prepared much better than I thought.
[k]
＠Cnoc na Riabh
I felt fine at first, but then I started to grow numb. I could feel my fingers losing their strength, and my throat and organs burning as if on fire.
[k]
＠Cnoc na Riabh
These aren't the only self-proclaimed King clan faeries denouncing me. Similar denunciations must be taking place all across Britain.
[k]
＠Cnoc na Riabh
My subjects' loyalty to me is both my greatest weapon, and my biggest weakness.
[k]
＠Cnoc na Riabh
If I lose their loyalty, I lose the power I shared with them, too.
[k]
＠Cnoc na Riabh
In an instant, I lost over half my power. I could tell as soon as it happened.
[k]
＠Cnoc na Riabh
The poison, which I'd been able to shrug off earlier, starts to kick in, causing my oldest subjects to collapse.
[k]
＠Cnoc na Riabh
Normally, the guards' spears would only tickle me. Now they pierce my stomach and punch out through my back.
[k]
＠Cnoc na Riabh
...Aw man. I guess I was more immature than I realized.
[k]
＠Cnoc na Riabh
I must have been so excited about finally getting to wear this dress that I didn't notice until it was too late.
