Bettor Mr. Nobles
Chapter 79

Abellard got up from her chair in a relaxed and authoritative motion.

"He's not accusing, Your Grace. (Your Grace: a call to a Duke). But reveal the truth. Your daughter did. We still have other witnesses if you don't believe. Right now we are also searching your daughter's room. I'm sure, will find some packs of deadly herbs."

Lady Angelia who was sitting next to him looked scared to death. The girl was fixated with a pale face and bulging eyes. He really did not expect, Abellard turned out to investigate!

Abellard's gaze turned to Mary. "Mary, try to get the people who checked the room" he said.

Maria nodded. "Well, Monsieur Comte," he answered. Then hurried out of the dining room.

Shortly after, Maria returns with Amily and Sora.

Amily appeared to be carrying a dark brown pouch made of linen.

Lady Angelia's eyes almost jumped out looking at what the servant girl was carrying. His face is getting pale. With great difficulty, he gulped his saliva.

It has already ....

Found it!

"This, Monsieur Comte. We found her in Lady Angelia's room. Inside this pouch were several packs of herbal powder." Amily handed the pouch to the Count.

Lady Angelia suddenly got up from her chair.

"I-it .. it's an herb for beauty," she panicked. "I wear it to take care of my beauty!"

"Yes, right! We do have herbs to maintain the health and beauty of our skin" the Duchess said in defense of her daughter.

"really? Then, it means Lady Angelia won't mind tasting a little to convince me" Abellard challenged.

His stern gaze then turned back to Amily. "Amily, mix each powder of the herb with water in a different glass. Lady Angelia will drink it. Don't be too much, lest he reason to be full with one glass of potion."

Amily nodded and rushed into the kitchen with Sora to fetch some glasses and water.

Abellard suspected that there was indeed a potion for beauty as Lady Angelia and her mother had said. The woman would definitely drink the beauty potion first, and leave behind herbs that contained poison.

Lady Angelia sat back in her chair with her body drooping. His body felt weak helpless. His heart was desperate. Now there is no more room to escape.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere of the room seemed quiet. Everyone was silent and looking forward to what would happen next.

Soon, Amily and Sora have returned with a tray of glasses and water. Then hurriedly mix it with the herbal decoction powder from each pack.

When they finished, they handed the tray of seven cups of potion water to the Count.

"Monsieur Comte, here's the potion."

Abellard took her tray and placed it in front of Lady Angelia.

"Please drink it" he said.

Lady Angelia was glued in silence. Everyone's eyes were on him.

"Just drink my daughter. Let them know you're innocent" support the Duchess. He did not know, his support even further aggravated the situation experienced by his daughter.

With trembling hands, Lady Angelia grabbed one of the glasses containing the potion. Just as Abellard had guessed, the girl drank a few glasses which was a beauty potion. Until then three glasses have been drunk, leaving four glasses that are still intact.

"I can't drink all the ingredients at once. Because there are herbs that are not good if drunk with other herbs," he said reasoned.

"Mary, get the doctor now. He must have finished examining the powder of the potion" Abellard said without diverting her monitor from Lady Angelia.

A few minutes later, Maria returned with the doctor.

The neat and professional-looking man showed a small glass of water that looked cloudy.

"This ... is one of the herbs I have examined" he explained.

The Duke of Medwin, who felt that the serious situation was aggravating his daughter as a suspect, stood up with an angry face.

"It's an insult! I can't accept my daughter being cornered like this! You are concerned about the herbs that we have been using for generations to maintain health. It's so far-fetched!"

"Hundreds?" Abellard smiled sinisterly while nodding. "I see now, it means your entire family is making a dangerous potion like this. This was not too surprising, as Lord Alfred also used such a potion to launch his depraved intentions."

"What?! You've gone too far, Comte! Now you also want to slander my son. It's worth my son leaving, it turns out that he can't stand living in a place of petty people like you!"

"He's not going, Your Grace. I expelled. Because he used a drowsiness-inducing potion to ensnare a girl."

"That's not true!" The Duke of Medwin's voice boomed in the room. "I don't accept insults like this. I will reclaim the land I have given."

Mme Aamber who had not commented earlier, stood facing the Duke with a firm look. "No problem, Your Grace. I will return the land now!"

"No. .. ja-don't like that, Countess ...." Lady Angelia made a soft voice in her seat. His head bowed with cheeks that had been filled with tears. "Please forgive me. Please don't break this match. We ... will not reclaim the land."

Abellard suddenly laughed at Lady Angelia's words. "We don't need your land, Lady. And as for the crime you committed, it can't be redeemed by an apology." Abellard clenched her jaws and looked at Lady Angelia sharply, "one more thing, that matchmaking you're referring to will never come into being at any time!"

Lady Angelia raised her face. The face that had been covered in tears looked both shocked and panicked. The girl looked so shocked and desperate.

He suddenly moved to grab Abellard's arm, which was not far from him. His head looked up at the tall man with a clear face.

"No! You can't just throw me away, Abellard. Ilove you. You're the only thing I want in this world. I ... I'll make amends, whatever the punishment. But please, don't you break this matchup ...."

Abellard pulled his arm. But the Lady clutched tightly, as if she would never let go. He then hugged the man's arm with his whole soul and body.

The British princess looked so sad.

"It's enough Angelia!" The Duke of Medwin approached his daughter and pulled the girl's hand from Abellard's arm with a furious bang. "Don't humble yourself for a man like him. We're going home now!"

The duke of the white land immediately dragged his daughter. And the Duchess of the wife immediately followed her husband and daughter withholding a chest-stifling cry.

Until arriving in the room, Lady Angelia jerked the hand of the father who gripped his arm while shouting.

"It's all Daddy's fault!" The girl roared with eyes that looked at her father full of hatred.

"Why am I wrong?! You're the one who suddenly went crazy and poisoned the people in this castle and embarrassed me to death!"

Lady Angelia shook her head while grinning. That pretty face looks so scary.

"Suddenly crazy? I've been crazy for a long time, Daddy! I've been giving poison potions to lecherous men that Daddy asked me to approach!" he answered with a growling voice.

The Duke of Medwin was immediately shocked.

"What?!
