Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 133: Poison
"Curtain! that fucking whore! always have a place to gain popularity.if this continues to be left, the father will trust him and choose the prostitute as a replacement for his throne later.Oi Maximilian! what do you think we should do!?"
Maximilian could only shake his head.It was expected that he did not want to work at all with the foolish prince who was now sitting while putting on a disgusting expression and biting his nails. it is unbelievable that this child is the candidate for the crown heir of the king with the most powerful position.
but indeed, the position of prince Lewis was not at all in a good position now.The trust of the nobles, especially the bureaucratic nobility, middle-class merchants, and even the king even increased in Aurellia.
the opposite happened to Prince Lewis.The magnitude of the conflict of interest in the body of the Lewis prince faction made the nobles who worked in the palace keep their distance from him. ensuring that they do not engage with such troublesome and unnecessary conflicts.
indeed, if Aurellia wanted to become the next ruler, the path she had to take was still very long and steep.the bureaucratic aristocrats and middle merchants indeed believed her but not as a reliable candidate for the ruler, except as a reliable working partner.
but if it continues to be allowed to happen, princess Aurellia will get more and more support. one of them is that traders stuck in the middle class are now starting to climb the cliff to raise their social status. and one of the causes is the ease provided by princess Aurellia in opening a business in her territory now.tax is not too high and fresh funds loans are quite a lot. that alone was enough for them to bow before the princess.
Maximilian was worried about the potential for the formation of the fourth faction.no, if you want to just say he was not really worried. Maximilian did not care at all about the emergence of a fourth faction that supported the princess.if you want to be honest, it is better for princess Aurellia who inherited the throne from king Leonidas.
but if he didn't take action and Duke Conrad smelled it, his mother would be in a dangerous condition and as his only child, he couldn't let that happen.
"Oi Maximilian! why are you even daydreaming! say something basic useless advisor!"
"forgive me, your majesty, I'm thinking of something I can do to solve this problem."
prince Lewis clicked his tongue with a huff.he leaned back in his chair and started muttering something unclear.Maybe be thinking? but Maximilian denied it.How could it be, a prince who did not even understand about the duties of a king to think in this way?
"how about we kill him before his influence gets stronger, we falsified the evidence of his death and announced that he had committed suicide because of the stress he was under while taking care of his new territory?"
Maximilian shakes his head firmly.he will not use such a way.not for inhuman reasons or anything.but the same way has been used and at the same time also failed. no one knows for sure why it failed but Maximilian thought that Issac was always involved in this.

Now it's Summer. don't ask, if during the day, the temperature can reach 35 degrees Celsius. hot enough at least enough to make your skin gossy.
I've decided to take a leave of absence now. Anna also. cause one thing. Lia fell ill from over-forsing her work.I, Anna, and my two older sisters are now in the Academy's health room and are accompanying Lia here.
"Well, I didn't expect that I would fall like this. I'm sorry, everyone, for making you worry."
"just relax Lia. get well quickly okay. just focus on resting and recuperating, so you can cell again." Sasha's sister cheerfully advised Lia to take a break.Of course we all nodded in agreement to that.
"True, I still have some business. goodbye first yes. I'll visit you at another time princess, excuse me."
before getting the approval of the others, I had already run away.outside, someone was already waiting for me. he was one of the teachers in the academy.no need to ask, he was one of my subordinates.
"Master, we've found the results.As you think, the princess fell ill not because of most of the work, but there was poison she consumed. traces of the poison were left in the glasses and dishes he used at the time of eating in the cafeteria."
I nodded. it turns out that my guess did not miss. there are some circles who are trying to get rid of Lia. I do not know who but at least I can get people from the perpetrator who put poison in his food.
"Find and drag that guy in front of me. Make sure that he's captured alive. I won't mess around if one of my family is needed like this."
"As you wish, my lord!" after saying that, the teacher disappeared from my sight.
