"Trisha… my sweet and dear wife… Young Ruby here returned with our health tests… It seems like you have a strong virus within you that if not cured soon could lead to death…" Abraham cried.
Trisha held her heart and began to cry… How come this happened? Did she upset Siren or Herdirte? Or was this planned by Lorelei and Yulia? Her son's birthdays were only a week away and Christmas was tomorrow… If she did not get cured, she wouldn't be there for her kids. So she pulled back her tears and looked at Ruby. "Ruby… please… I need to be… no… I want to be cured. I don't care what you have to do, just please help me," cried Trisha.
"As you wish, my lady… I shall return tomorrow to give you the medicine if that's alright with you, your Majesty?" Ruby questioned.
"Yes… if it means my wife will be alright… I shall leave you to get the medicine…" sadly replied Abraham.
With that said, Ruby left the room and the kingdom to find his brother, Zeph Galpin. Zeph was extremely good with creating medicine… this time however… Zeph would betray his brother. When nightfall came, the boys were in bed… excited for Christmas but this year might be their last night together. Ruby was already in Geltos by night, looking frantically for his brother. Zeph caught Ruby off guard and handed him directions to make medicine. Ruby was confused because he never told Zeph what was wrong or why he needed the sheet. Zeph sat there and laughed, "But brother… it's written on your face. You always come here at night for help. Assuming it was medicine, I gave you that. Unless it's something else, do tell me."
Ruby shock his head and quickly bowed before leaving. "Thank you… I do need this for the queen. She's quite ill."
Once Ruby left and was far away, Zeph smiled with a strange and creepy grin but never the less, he was proud. "That's one down… now all we have to do is get the kid and we'll be able to complete our plan," Zeph said softly. As Ruby returned to Triped, he noticed someone strange on board with him. He couldn't see the face because the man wore a robe but he remembered the voice. "Too bad you're with Triped, Ruby Galpin…" said the man.
How did he know Ruby's name? Who was he? Ruby continued to ponder at this man till he spoke again. This time it shocked Ruby. "On your way to heal your queen, I see… let's just hope you don't mess up. We wouldn't want a dead queen now would we?" the man said.
This made Ruby jump but when he turned around to see the man… he was gone. Who was that man? Ruby then vowed to find this man by only remembering his voice. "One day, we'll meet again… and when we do… I swear I will kill you," mumbled Ruby.
Ruby rushed back to his headquarters to create the medicine he would give to Trisha. Following the instructions carefully, making sure nothing was missing, he quickly put it to the side and went to sleep… for what he doesn't know will be a dramatic day.
(The Next Day)
The boys did not wake up early because it was Christmas day nor did Trisha want to wake them but she had to say something to Devon because of what he is. She woke him up gently without waking up Leon so that she could talk to Devon in private. Once Devon got to where his mother wanting to meet him, she quickly grabbed him and held him tight. Devon noticed that she started crying and he asked, "Mom? A-are you ok? You're crying on Christmas…"
"Oh Devon… You know you are different… you were born a personality yet others will treat you poorly or differently… so please… If I die, don't let anyone push you around and know that mommy loves you dearly. I would never abandon you but I need you to know that if I die, promise me you'll stay brothers with Leon and you'll help your father if he loses it. I don't want to lose you, sweetie… I love you and will always love you no matter what," Trisha cried.
Devon just stood there in shock. He knew what his mom meant but once he heard "if I die", he froze… He didn't want to lose his mom, no child does… but if Lorelei and Yulia say that her time is up, he has to accept it. So he promised to his mother and hugged her back before Ruby called her to take her medicine. Trisha ran off to go see Ruby and left a very frightened and lonely boy to ponder at what she said. Once Ruby gave Trisha the medicine, he explained to Abraham that Zeph gave the list to him. After two hours, everyone (The maids, the nurses, the guards, Leon, Devon, Ruby, Syed, and Abraham) heard a blood-curdling scream and then a collapse like if a body fell on the floor. Everyone panicked at the sound and ran to the source. No movement what-so-ever to what they saw as Abraham fell to his knees, Ruby looked away in shame, and all of the guards, maids, nurses, and the boys were in tears. Trisha Veanita Ralls was dead on the floor, she was bleeding from the mouth and there was no pulse in her body… she was dead.
From there, things took a turn for the worst. The king started to go ballistic and refused to call himself Abraham Ralls… instead he wished to be called Roly Cohen and everyone let him. Roly tried to fill the hole that he had since Trisha passed… he doesn't blame Ruby for the death of his wife but the both of them continue to wonder why Zeph was so eager to give Ruby the list. Ruby continues to believe that he might have poisoned the queen… then again… he did read the instructions over and over and it does appear like a recipe for makeshift-poison. So why would Zeph give this to Ruby… Did Zeph hate the queen? Did Richard Natoen of Geltos command Zeph to kill the queen? So many questions bother Ruby and leave him to ponder each day of whom or what did this… As for Leon and Devon, things got worse between the family and them… Roly believes because Devon was never supposed to be born (because he is an imperfect personality), that maybe perhaps Devon's birth was a jinx on the family and that's why Siren claimed Trisha's soul early. So to make Siren forgive his family; Roly had Devon separated from Leon, two days after Trisha's death.
