Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 134: The Perp is Caught
the investigation has been done by the agents.if you guessed it, I might have narrowed down the culprit who put the poison in Lia's food.If to just find out who did it, it's not too difficult. at most the chefs are in charge of the food that the students are consuming. What is quite difficult is to find out who is behind this case.
let's retreat back to two days before Lia fell ill. There were some visible symptoms in Lia's body. sometime after finishing her lunch, Lia returned to work. it was from there that her body began to tremble.Maybe Anna was not aware of such a move, but I could read it.
a while later, Lia began to unfocus.he repeatedly dropped the questioner while writing.I approached him but he said fine.that's where I started to suspect.Lia's condition was fine at first. he hasn't been sick since yesterday and even had time to train with my two brothers during his break.
but everything started to get worse. Lia started coughing and I decided unilaterally to take her to the infirmary.I've been thinking a no-no. and unfortunately, my concern is just right.one of the Priests said that she was poisoned. he only told me that so as not to make the others panic.
fortunately, the Priest had taken first aid measures so the poison effect could be slowed down. I also tried to provide a cure to Lia so that the poison effect was completely gone. Now, Lia only needed to face the detoxification process of the poison from her body.
in other words, the poison he accidentally ingested along with his lunch was a dangerous poison. Lia is strong, therefore his body's antibodies can slow the speed of the spread of harmful substances that have already entered his body.maybe if he does not have a strong body, he said, Lia could have been killed within 12 hours after she swallowed the poison.
Poison as strong as this was clearly not owned by ordinary people.especially if he was only a cook or an objection officer.things as dangerous as it must have a high price and circulated in very small quantities. only the moneyed can buy that. And as expected, it fell to the nobles, but which noble bought it and intended to injure Lia, I don't know yet.
in the end we are getting hectic. The task that was originally held by Lia is now delegated to me and Anna. It does not matter anyway. Until the disease is completely cured, I will forbid it to work.
"Issac, do you think, the princess really fell ill just because of most work? it's quite impossible." I'm the one who's writing something stop my hand movement. Sooner or later I'm sure Anna will realize this. lying in front of her is completely useless.
"No. the princess has good antibodies. her lifestyle is also healthy. falling ill due to work is just an excuse used to cover up the fact that the princess is sick from being in poison."
"Calm down a little Anna! geez..don't panic too much.You yourself have seen the condition of the princess, right? he's fine.if the princess is focused on resting, two more days he's completely healed. but before that happens...."
before that happens, I have to catch the culprit. It's just a hunch, but this time, the one who did the attempted murder wasn't from the Duke Conrad Faction. I guess, it was, Maximilian wasn't stupid enough to not be aware of my presence in protecting Lia. So, he would definitely find another way to separate me from her.
the temple is also impossible. During this time the attack they launched was only directed at me. The rumors that yesterday they spread were also not intended to attack Lia. Instead, it was an attempt to drop my good name.
then, there were only two possibilities left.This first was the work of prince William who was supported by the Knights or the second, this was the work of the third prince who was supported by the great merchants. it would be strange if Prince William did that but it would be understandable if the third prince poisoned Lia.
the third prince, Prince Hermann? he was supported by the great merchants to sit on the royal seat.in exchange, he promised that the merchants who supported him would be granted the right to monopolize most of the trading affairs in the kingdom of Heinz.
it was natural that the actions of Lia who was walking the path of her power were considered interference by them. given that what Lia was doing made the merchants and businessmen who initially tried to miskink them and get rid of get a place back in Adonia.as well, he said, Lia decided not to cooperate with them because she knew their cunning.
but that's just a hypothesis, I haven't found the right evidence to justify my analysis. Anna went back to her duties while I went out for a while to refresh myself. Well, that was just an excuse.my real goal was to meet one of my agents.
"Sir, we have found the perpetrator who poisoned the princess's food. Do you want to extract information from her now?"
oh, it's been caught? I somehow grinned. In this way everything became easier. Guided by agent VIESTA, I walked to where the culprit was detained.
