24
The harvest festival has been held one day before the celebration of the harvest in the Palace, everyone seems happy to welcome the big day is no exception Teri who was happy to welcome the day of happiness.
"Miss, the Prince has come."
"really? All right I'll go down now."
Downstairs, Dylan who had been holding Teri was immediately made silent when he saw Teri's beautiful appearance with a gift dress from him.
"You're so pretty."
"Thank you for the compliment, Prince."
Dylan immediately gave Teri his hand to help himself get into the carriage, after Teri entered and Dylan entered.
"Road now."
Like wanting to fly, Teri felt so embarrassed to sit next to Dylan what else the smell of perfume Dylan used was so felt entering his sense of smell.
Grab!
Teri's eyes immediately opened wide, as Dylan suddenly clasped his hands tightly, what was the look of his eyes that were so sharp while kissing Teri's hand deeply.
"Pa... Prince?" tekik Teri because she felt ashamed.
"After we greet the guests, do you want to visit my room?" whispered Dylan who instantly made both Teri's eyes wide open.
"There's something I want from you!"
I'm gonna faint.
...~*~...
Inside the hall, many people had gathered to enliven the big event, even the two parents Teri also attended the event including with Iris and her friends.
"His Highness the Prince and his fiancee Miss Ronan entered the hall!"
Brak!
The hall door opened, Dylan and Teri entered simultaneously into the hall, all pairs of eyes immediately glancing towards them including with Iris and her friends.
"Miss Kalika, I thought you were coming with the Prince, did the Prince come with his fiancee?"
Iris's hands immediately clenched firmly looking at the cheerful face of Teri who was casting a sweet smile to the guests present there, even his friends could only quietly look at Dylan who was so close to Teri.
"It's only natural that Miss Ronan is the Prince's fiancee, whereas I'm only a close friend of the Prince's," Iris smiled back.
"But Miss Kalika, until now I am still curious about your relationship with the Prince."
"Yes? What makes you curious, miss?"
"Eh... It was, however it seemed like the two of them loved each other."
"What?"
All pairs of eyes refocused towards Teri and also Dylan, the warm faces of the two of them so radiated clearly as the guests started to arrive to greet Teri and also Dylan.
I can't let you, just look at Miss Ronan today is the last day for you to get close to Dylan.
With a feeling of annoyance, Iris instantly turned her body leaving everyone there who was still staring in admiration at Dylan and also Teri.
...~*~...
Not feeling the time continues to pass, Teri decided to separate from Dylan because it was tired if he had to walk around to welcome the guests.
"Agh... Dingy... My legs feel like they want to come off" said Teri, who immediately closed her eyes.

"Jeez Miss Ronan, you're here!"
Teri's eyes that had been closed immediately opened wide, when she felt the sound of Iris calling her name.
"Miss Kalika? What are you doing here?" ask Teri curiously.
"Can't I be here?" Iris asked, Teri just kept quiet.
"When you came out of the Hall, I saw you coming to this place, so I followed you."
"Is there anything you want to say? Miss Kalika?" asked Teri sarcastically.
"Nothing, I just want a drink with you, are you willing to accompany me to a drink?" asked Iris who immediately gave a glass of soda to Teri.
"Thank you."
Iris immediately sat next to Teri who was staring at the water she gave, Iris's face seemed cynical looking at Teri who also had not drank the water she gave.
"Please drink miss," said Iris who immediately drank the drink.
"Yes" replied Teri who drank the water Iris gave her.
"Aghhh!"
The deg!
"Miss Kalika!"
Teri was immediately shocked when she saw Iris who suddenly vomited blood when she had drunk her drink.
"Miss are you okay? I'll call-"
"What's this?"
Teri immediately turned her body when she heard Dylan's voice standing behind her.
"Prince?"
Dylan's eyes immediately opened wide as he looked at Iris who kept coughing while spitting out fresh blood.
"Pa...Princes..." Iris tried to summon Dylan with little of her strength left.
"Iris what happened to you? hangin' on..."
"I'll call someone to help, wait a minute" replied Teri who immediately moved from her place.
Teri had already run out to ask for help from a more mature person, before long a commotion ensued the palace healers instantly treated Iris' body once they got to the place.
Many guests gathered to find out what was going on, after Iris was treated by the healers Dylan immediately asked Iris what had happened to her.
"Why can you drink poison? Who gave you poison?" ask Dylan.
Iris' eyes immediately looked at my face Teri who looked confused, why Iris looked at herself like that.
"Prince... The drink was a gift from Miss Ronan!"
The deg!
"What!"
Everyone who heard the confession from Iris looked shocked, even Dylan.
Teri was as surprised as she was with her wide-open eyes immediately rewinded her body choosing to move away from Iris and also Dylan, her head continuing to shake firmly reject the recognition from Iris.
"No! He's lying! I never once poisoned Miss Kalika! Miss Kalika! why are you lying! Is not the drink itself the drink!" pekik Teri tried to find a defense.
"Steer!"
Teri was instantly speechless as she looked at Dylan who was already standing before her with such a cold gaze, a gaze that was very different from the one she gave yesterday.
"Prince! A...What's... You don't believe me?" ask Teri with teary eyes.
"Guard! Take Miss Ronan to the dungeon now!" dylan's orders to the imperial soldiers who were there.
"Alright Prince," replied the imperial warrior who immediately carried Teri's body away.
"Tu... Waitaminute! Princes... Princes... Listen to me first, Prince!"
Teri stared in disbelief at Dylan who easily threw herself away like a piece of trash, Teri's eyes immediately opened wide when she heard many people who said she was a bad woman, plus he saw the sly face of Iris who was smiling faintly towards him.
"I'm. I'm innocent."
It was that sentence that Teri kept saying all the way, as the imperial soldier was taking himself to the dungeon.
Buk up!
Roughly speaking, Teri was immediately thrown into a dirty dungeon as well as a very humid environment.
"I'm not guilty..."

A running voice filled the underground prison hallway was very clearly heard, Regis and Luna go straight to Teri when they find out that their daughter has poisoned one of the noble ladies present at the event.
Arriving in front of Teri prison, the two of them immediately fell silent with eyes that stared in disbelief at their son's miserable condition.
"Darling..."
Luna sat in front of the iron bars with a gaze so injured, even Regis could only be silent to see the condition of his son who was so sad.
"Mother..."
Teri did not know how, no matter how loud she screamed everyone would have no one to believe except her parents and, the servants at Ronan's residence.
"I'm innocent ma'am." sobs Teri held Luna's hand firmly.
