Kyren's POV

"Alright, everyone gather around. I want to make this as quick as possible." He boomed with a deep voice, standing at the top of his dais in his throne room.
Standing below were all his palace staff members, from the maids to the guards stationed around the invisible shield surrounding the palace.
His arms were placed in front of his body, his crimson gaze scanning sharply through the faces of the hundreds of people gathered in his throne room.
"Each of you here serves a vital function to this palace." He began, turning away from them and facing his throne.
He stared at the black seat for a few seconds before continuing. "It's like the protective blood cells in a body. Each works together to make the whole body function. Or at least, that's what I thought..."
He turned to face them again, his voice becoming colder than ice. "Until something happened earlier. One of you, a maid, stepped forward and confessed to trying to poison me."
