Chapter 17 The Antidote And The Deception

• Princess Ameerah sat at the ornate wooden table in her chamber, the flickering candlelight casting dancing shadows on the walls. Before her lay a collection of rare herbs, powders, and vials — the components for the deadly potion she was to prepare for her father, the Alpha Pharoah. Yet, her heart was heavy with conflict. Every step she took was carefully measured, knowing that her actions could decide Fiel’s fate.
• Her trusted Nanny hovered nearby, her eyes keen and steady. “My Princess, the poison’s potency depends on the precise balance of these ingredients. We must be meticulous,” she said, her voice low with urgency.
• Ameerah nodded. “Yes, Nanny. But remember, while we prepare this potion, we also need to create its antidote. The salt water from the ocean will be the key. It will reverse the poison’s effect if administered in time.”
