The God of War
Trialed
This afternoon the Zhou commander escorted the Toshie prince who was looking to take a walk to see the Red Dragon lake which was still near the palace. Prince Toshie was bored and wanted to get some fresh air.
The breeze blew and felt so soothing. Because it is spring. The season where the flowers will bloom so beautifully decorate almost in some places.
Suddenly a palace maid was also seen coming to deliver some dishes to prince Toshie and commander Zhou who were currently sitting together in the lakeside pavilion.
"Please, Prince Toshie and Commander Zhou" said the maid of the court, who had laid down all the imperial dishes that had been served so neatly and artfully.
Prince Toshie who was still sitting cross-legged only nodded with his flat face. While the palace maid began to leave them back.
Prince Toshie started grabbing a sakura mochie and getting ready to eat it, as it happened that the pink cake was still very warm. Prince Toshie returned it and grabbed his warm tea.
But suddenly Zhou immediately held him back and instead made a pot of warm tea spilled just like that. And of course this made Prince Toshie confused and clueless.
"What's up, Commander Zhou? Why are you doing all this?" ask prince Toshie.
I am no stranger to this smell. This scent is like .. ahh no longer wrong ...
Inner Zhou stared intently at all the dishes before him with great caution as if something was amiss.
"Commander Zhou! What's up?" prince Toshie repeated his question because Zhou remained silent and did not answer.
"Prince Toshie. Don't touch this food!" zhou said suddenly and tensely said Zhou successfully made the Toshie commander stunned.
Zhou immediately threw one of the mochie sakura across, and suddenly a bird started to come and peck at the pink cake.
Shortly after, suddenly the bird's body became so tense and then released foam on its beak. After that the bird just fell on the ground. The bird has come to its end!
Seeing all that of course made Prince Toshie feel very shocked not playing. If Zhou had not stopped him, it would have been certain, if his fate would have been the same as that parakeet.
"All these foods have been mixed with hemlock's poison, Prince. And it's very dangerous. Because the poison is so deadly! With only 8 sheets, hemlock can deliver us to death." said Zhou still by putting up a serious face mimic.
"Hemlocks? Isn't hemlock only owned by the Fumio empire? And who exactly did all this? Why are you so understanding and knowing hemlock, Commander Zhou?" prince Toshie asked with a frown staring at Zhou.
Zhou was silent for a while and began to answer what the prince of Toshie had already questioned.
"I've heard it before, Prince. And as I escorted Matzu's daughter to the wedding invitation of the emperor Zeus at the time, I saw the hemlock firsthand. And so I still remember it well, Prince."
Said Zhou decided not to tell the truth to Prince Toshie, if in fact Zhou had also been a victim of the deadly poison. And at that time, he still could not realize it and was less alert if the roasted deer had been mixed Zeus with hemlock poison.
"Possibility is like that, Prince. But I don't know who did all this" Zhou replied.
"alright. Then we better get back to the palace!! Because it means that Nobuhide's palace is not safe. Because there was an intruder who managed to enter Nobuhide's palace and attempted to poison me!! I'm afraid that he's also trying to poison the others! prince Toshie was so angry but also tried to contain his anger.
"Okay, Prince!"
Prince Toshie and Zhou immediately returned to the palace and ordered some of the soldiers to gather all the servants and all the palace cooks. They were gathered in one of the rooms inside Nobuhide's palace.
"Do you know why I gathered you in this place?!" prince Toshie began to ask with his booming voice filling this place. He's still sitting there.
No one dared to answer him, they all looked down and were extremely frightened. Because if it's like this, it means there's a big, serious problem going on. And that means that Prince Toshie is being so angry right now.
Prince Toshie spread his gaze staring alternately at the servants and chefs of the palace with a glare of guts.
"Who cooked this afternoon?!!" prince Toshie asked still in a thunderous voice.
Still no one answered, all silent and still down. And of course this makes the prince even more upset instead of playing.
"I'm asking you guys!! Are you all deaf?!! I will ask you again!! Who's cooking this afternoon?!!" hold prince Toshie again.
Finally, 3 female cooks and 2 male cooks aged 30 to 35 years old each began to raise their hands up in a trembling fear.
"Have any of you put anything into the palace food??!" prince Toshie asked again with an intimidating look at the 5 palace chefs on duty today.
"Tid-nothing, Prince. We just cook with the ingredients that are already provided in the storage cabinet. Dd-dann those ingredients - it had also been inspected by the special soldier as usual, Prince." replied one of the male chefs venturing out.
"Hmm? Are you sure that you always monitor your cooking as long as you cook??!" prince Toshie asked squinted his pair of eyes at the man's palace chef.
"Sa-I'm sure, Prince. Although we don't always monitor it, but we the palace cooks always take turns to keep our cooking." replied the male chef again who seemed like he was the head of the palace commi in full charge.
"Then don't you see someone mixing something in that dish?!!"
"Ti-no, Prince .." replied the female chef.
"If no one dares to admit it!! So right now you also leave Nobuhide palace and never come back again you set foot in Nobuhide palace and territory!! You are exiled and are not allowed to remain in Nobuhide territory!!" the toilet of Prince Toshie was already so filled with anger and so wrath.
"I see someone has entered the palace kitchen, Prince!" said a waitress suddenly.
