"Chloe White," Chloe White replied.

"Ah, such a nice name... My name is Kennith,” Kennith said, “I got you something.”

"You did...?" Chloe White asked.

"Yes, I did. Here it is," Kennith said.

He held out the plump apple and gave it to her.

"It's so beautiful..." Chloe White commented.

"The one who sold it to me told me that it was a very satisfying apple," Kennith commented.

Chloe White hungrily took a large bite out of the apple. Kennith smiled.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

"Hmm... Delicious..." Chloe White said.

She finished off the apple leaving just the core. What surprised Kennith was when she collapsed and did not move. The apple core rolled out of her hand.

"Chloe! Chloe!" he called out.

She did not wake up, nor did she stir. It was as though she could not hear him.

"CHLOE!" Kennith wailed, "WAKE UP!"

Grogda Dranaj came out of her house to see what was going on.

"Hey! What are you doing here?! Did you kill our servant?!" Grogda asked.

"I... I don't know what happened! She collapsed!" Kennith said.

"Nevaeh! Get mother!" Grogda called to her sister who was peering out the door.

Nevaeh Dranaj disappeared and returned with Hytstens Dranaj.

"You killed Chloe White?!" Hytstens asked.

"She ate that apple, ma'am..." Kennith said, pointing to the apple core.

"Say, aren't you the prince? How would your father feel if he knew you were out and about feeding poison apples to other people's property?!" Hytstens asked.

"I didn't mean to! Honestly!" Kennith said.

"Well... Hmm... I don't want a dead body on my property! I don't want people to think I'm responsible!" Hytstens said.

"Give the body to me, then; I'll put her in a coffin. Maybe someone can figure out what happened..." Kennith said.

Hytstens Dranaj unchained the body from the post and handed it to the prince. The apple core rolled further away. Kennith carried Chloe White with him as he returned to his castle with his horse.
