Sent's Failure

While Larry was waiting for a reply from Mr. Collin, the Vandersar family doctor walked in dramatically.

''I came as soon as I heard.'' The doctor put down his briefcase beside the bed and without waiting for anyone to tell him what was going on, he started to check McGuire.

Everyone around watched the doctor keenly. Even Larry who had just asked who Mr. Collin was, forgot about the guest for the time being and watched the doctor as he tried to figure out what was wrong with McGuire.

''He has been poisoned.'' The doctor said with a calm tone after inserting a tool inside McGuire's mouth and observing the saliva that he could gather.

''I thought as much.'' The guest said, looking at Harry with an expression that screamed, ''I told you so.''

''Only the Prism Poison is capable of having this sort of effect on anyone.'' The guest added.

''Yes. It's the Prism Poison.'' The doctor confirmed it, and then he looked at Mr. Collin, noticing that he had never seen that face in the Vnadersar Palace before.

''Who are you?'' The doctor asked, making Larry also bring his attention back to the guest.

''My name is Collin. Collin Vandersar.'' The guest broke the news to everyone.

''Vandersar?'' The doctor looked at the three Princes, wondering whether they knew the man.

''Yes. Vandersar. I am a distant relative, and one of those who has been waiting patiently for the union to happen.'' While the guest revealed who he was, Roger and Macy AKA Sent watched from outside the room.

''I thought every single Vandersar had been killed apart from the princes?'' Sent whispered to Roger, but Roger did not reply to her because he was desperate for them not to be caught.

''Someone has given him the Prism Poison. You know what the union entails. A lot would come to light and the evil Prince Of Persia would be challenged as soon as this union comes to pass. I take it that someone is trying to get rid of McGuire hoping that his absence would make the wedding stall. But, thank the stars I am here. The wedding must hold.'' Mr. Collin spoke with so much audacity, the Princes did not have a problem with believing everything he had said.

''Okay. It is settled that the union would hold. But what are we going to do about McGuire? When will he wake up?'' Barry asked.

''Two weeks.'' The doctor was the one that spoke up at that point.

''I have treated cases like this, and I guarantee that he will wake up exactly two weeks from now, and he will not know what had happened to him. He will think he just woke up from a minor nap.'' The doctor explained.

Mr. Collin nodded.

''Exactly. But we should keep him somewhere safe, away from everyone so that nobody comes to finally finish him while we think he is just asleep.'' Mr. Collin said, and then he looked around.

''By the way, where is the Usylon girl?''

Mr. Collin wanted to see Margaret.

''Oh, Margaret. My wife-to-be is in her bedroom. It's better she remains there. I don't want to stress her out with what is going on. Her fragile mind will be shaken.'' Larry mischievously said.

''How can you not tell her that McGuire is in a dire state? Come on, go and call her to come and see what's going on.'' Prince Harry told his youngest triplet, Larry.

Larry did as he had been told, and soon Margaret came to the room with sleepy eyes.

When she saw how everyone gathered around McGuire, Margaret panicked.

''What's going on?'' She hurried towards the bed to take a look at the person that was lying down there.

''McGuire.'' Margaret called out to the mysterious man that had saved her from being in the police station back at her foster home.

''He's asleep.'' The doctor quietly said to Margaret, gently holding her away from McGuire.

''Asleep? Why has he not woken up with all the body heat and noise around him then?'' Margaret was not going to believe that McGuire was asleep, but she soon saw that his chest was heaving up and down, that meant that he was still breathing.

''He was poisoned. Ever heard of the Prism Poison?'' Barry asked.

''Prism Poison?'' Margaret had not the slightest idea that there was anything like the prism poison.

''The prism poison would make anyone who takes it to sleep for two straight weeks without waking up.'' Mr. Collin explained.

''Who are you?'' Margaret suddenly realized that apart from the Vandersar family doctor whom of course, she was seeing for the first time, there was someone else in the room that she had no idea about.

''A friend to you, and family to the princes. My name is Collin Vandersar.'' Mr. Collin stretched his hand forward to ask for a handshake from Margaret.

Margaret reluctantly accepted the handshake, but she kept her eyes on the man, hoping to have a much more intense detail about who he was.

''He's a distant uncle.'' Prince Harry quickly spoke up when he saw that Margaret was having a hard time accepting Mr. Collin's speech.

''Oh...'' Margaret mouthed and showed respect for the guest.

''I think it is only fortunate that I showed up at this time. McGuire here has been poisoned and obviously, he won't be present at the union tomorrow. I will step in on his behalf and carry out any rights that he was supposed to carry out in the first place. That's why I came here anywa,'' Mr. Collin announced.

At that time, Macy AKA Sent secretly stormed away from the room. Obviously, her plan had failed, and that was the first time something like that would happen to her because every single plan she ever carried out for Prince Bane always worked.

''The nerve! Who the hell is this Usylon girl? Where did she come from? Where has she been before this time?'' A bitter Sent scowled and asked herself.
