Suddenly a Nanny!?
Eps. 35 Caged in an Underground Cell

Suddenly another servant approached his friend.

"What's this?" Ask her.

"It's my fault, I accidentally bumped into her!" Said Via.

"Next time be careful dong bring that trolley!" The servant said.

"Come Sesa! Let's just get out of here!" The waiter hugged his friend away from the place.

"You too! Why tell me to go there anyway, I told you there's nothing!"

"I forgot the broom was in my room, come on!"

Via heard the whispers of the two servants. He simply ignored and looked towards his truck. Nothing was destroyed just that the cakes were a lot of mess. Via re-repairing the cake.

Via saw his tea again. "Huf... Good thing the tea is still intact, I have to hurry this!" Via continues his journey back to the park where Alex is.

...****************...

"Why so long? Is there a problem there?" Alex asked Via who had just arrived.

"Sorry, my majesty, I helped Mr. Daniel until I forgot the time" Via said.

"Mr Daniel? Who's that?"

"He who works on picking fruits and vegetables behind the palace kitchen, your majesty" said Via astonished. How could his own host not know.

"Just forget about it, we're going straight to the test now" Alex said.

"Good noble" Via began to arrange equipment, food, and drinks on the table. He began to pour the tea.

Huft... I hope it tastes good, I haven't tried this tea. Inner Via.

Alex began sipping a cup of tea given by Via.

"Hm.... The tea is fragrant, but like nothing less huh, you forgot to add sugar?" Said Alex.

Geez, why forget... Got to find a reason! Inner Via.

"Eum... That's because the pastries here are already sweet noble, try to eat with this cake" said Via with a sudden idea in his brain.

Alex starts chewing on the cake, but Alex has a bad taste in his stomach. Unfinished Alex chews, suddenly blood spurts out of her mouth. Alex's eyes began to blur and....

BRUKK!

Alex fell and lay on the ground. Via surprised not playing.

"Your majesty!" Pekik.

"What's.... What the hell am I doing!? Your majesty!? Please wake up!! Anyone out there please help me!" pekik Via's. His feelings began to mix together to see Alex spewing a lot of blood from his mouth.

The guards not far from them heard and went straight to Via and were surprised that their crown prince had collapsed on the ground.

They immediately brought Alex into the room, while Via just froze there. News also quickly spread and reached the ears of the King and Queen. They both went to Alex's room.

"Come with us!" Tell the guards.

"Ke... Wh why? Where am I taking it?!" Crying Via who was trying from the clutches of the guards.

"You should be in brackets for poisoning the crown prince"

"A.. What's up!? But I'm innocent! I don't know shit! Please don't lock me up!"

"We only follow orders from the king's majesty. Hurry on!" Said the bodyguard and took Via to the dungeon.

...****************...

Now Via is in the palace dungeon. A dark and shabby place, He really felt alone there.

"Why is this so? Hix... Who could do this to me! It wasn't me who poisoned the crown prince... Hix... Hix... L'm... Just want to die..." Mumbled Via while crying.

"Don't say that again!" The heavy sound was shaking Via.

"Huh? Si... Who?" Ask Via. He could not see because of the lack of light entering the room. The man then approached, then Via saw a face that was no stranger to him.

"Du... Duke!? Pl-please... Helpme! I'm not guilty.... Hiks.." screamed Via at Zack.

Via told me everything, from being in the kitchen, to meeting Mr. Daniel, and accidentally bumping into a waiter.

"Wait on! You're telling me, mister daniel concocted the tea?"

"Certain duke! Wait for.... Do you suspect him?"

"Can he give you the concoction ?" Zack said seriously.

"But I'm sure he didn't mix anything in there, I saw it with my own eyes" Via said.

"Then I'll make sure of it myself. Survive Via!" Zack immediately left Via. And he's alone again. Now he just hopes the real culprit will meet.

...****************...

"Yes my... Alex! Dear... Hicks.." The cry of a mother who sees her child lying weakly on her bed.

"Who did this to the crown prince?" angry with the king.

"Your highness the crown prince was in the garden with Miss Via" said one of the bodyguards.

"Is he..." Ask queen.

"Not yet to be sure he's the noble one..." Said Zack who came suddenly to Alex's room.

"Zack!" King Said.

"I know she's the nanny of your kids, but still..." King Said.

"Then let me investigate this" said Zack and left the room.

"Dion, investigate the people here named Daniel!" Decide Zack.

"Good duke"

They both searched and asked the passers-by. Suddenly Zack meets Duke Kedrey and Alex's uncle.

"Duke Kedrey? When did you come here?" Ask Zack. He rarely went to the palace if there was no important business.

"Hm... Actually, it's been since then, but no one has welcomed me. Maybe it's because I'm old so the welcome for me doesn't matter, Hohoho!" Said Duke Kedrey.

"So apparently, do you know that the crown prince is lying weak right now?"

"What's? My niece!? I just found out, how can it be?"

"Said the people he was poisoned after drinking tea by my subordinates, but he said that the tea concoction was not him who made it but Mr. Daniel, so I was looking for him. Can you build-"

"Wait, you said Alex was poisoned for drinking tea? A... Is your subordinate a woman?" Duke Kedrey asked.

"Right Duke, do you know anything?"

"What's his name?"

Zack is confused by Duke Kedrey's strange behavior.

"His name is Olivia, everyone calls her Via, now she's being held in an underground cell" Zack said.

Duke Kedrey suddenly fell silent for a moment.

"Let's follow me!" Said Duke Kedrey and followed by Zack.

...****************...

"Consider all! Gather the servants in this palace without exception!" Tell Duke Kedrey to the palace guards. Zack was really confused by Duke Kedrey.

"You know Zack! What made the tea concoction was me" said Duke Kedrey, to Zack's surprise.

"But I didn't poison the crown prince, why would I poison my beloved nephew." Connect her.

"So... You're that Daniel's master?" Ask Zack. Duke Kedrey looked Zack in the eye and replied to Zack's question with a nod.
