I think that the poison is spread at night. That's why they said to the guard that is dangerous and to not go there at that time.
What I don't know is: the guard passed out (I don't know if he's dead) because the poison was in the air or because it entered the blood when she made that cut in his hand?
But from this logic then the duchess should've also passed out, and i still don't get it lol
She was previously trying poison to achieve immunity.. so maybe it will work slowly with her. And we still don't know wat they gave to the slaves before they entered there
I think the poison is airborne. When the guard woke up, he should've immediately ate a bread which contains the antidote. He didn't so he died.
So, did they lie? Was the potion they drank water based lmao?
I'm confused. What did the duchess discover with the sleeping incense? Can someone explain pls?
