ake an appointment for the next one?”

“Of course.
I decided to come back in three days.”

“At that time, make sure you hold onto the Emperor’s heart.
So that he won’t come to his senses by this.”

“I don’t know if it’s possible.
What you promised…”

Licking his lips, Gerald stared at the man who pulled a purse from his pocket and placed it on the table.

“Oh my, thank you.”

He quickly grabbed the bag.

“If you can play with the Emperor like a puppet, I’ll give you ten times that.”

“Yes, yes?”

At that, Gerald’s mouth widened.

“So, do it right until the end.”

“Oh my, thank you! You are my benefactor.”

‘Benefactor? He is the grim reaper who will guide you to the underworld…’

It was like he was blinded by money without knowing what kind of situation he was in right now.

I looked at him pathetically and followed the man who got up from his seat.
Glasses, stern expressions, cheeky attitude…

‘Bingo!’

The cheap, no, unlucky appearance just reminded me of the man’s true identity.

Salihan, an aide to the Duke of Otien… Other than Count Nolan, there was a loyal and mad dog that could not be followed.
In the original story, he was the one who did all the dirty work of Duke Otien.

‘He was a complete moralist.’

However, he had no feelings for killing people.

‘The fact that Salihan is here means that Duke Otien is behind it.’

Are you sure you’re confident enough to dispel your trust?

As expected, since Count Nolan has gone away, Salihan has no choice but to step out.

Unsurprisingly, he changed his carriage a few times and went round and round to the Duke of Otienne.

‘Is this the Duke’s residence? It cost a lot of money.”

I couldn’t help but marvel at the endless gardens and splendid mansions.
Salihan stopped the sound of footsteps and went to the Duke.

“Your Excellency, this is Salihan.”

When I entered the room that looked like the office, I saw Duke Otien sitting at a large desk.

“Did the shaman come out alive?”

‘It’s not about success, it’s whether he was alive.’

He had no one else of value but himself.

“He came back fine.”

“Really?”

At that moment, the duke raised his head as if it was interesting.

“The Emperor spared him.
It seems that the prediction was correct.”

“He cried when he saw the Princess.”

“Ha, what kind of Emperor is such a weak bastard?” Duke Ortien said, clicking his tongue in displeasure.

“I think we will be able to move as we wish soon.”

“What was the shaman’s name?”

“It is Gerald.”

“Is this the one you picked? He’s a good guy.”

At his compliment, Salihan made a proud expression.
The invisible tail behind him seemed to sway wildly.

‘He’s really loyal.’

How can you like it so much when that is nothing to be called a compliment?

“By the way, did you entrust the last work to him?”

I moved closer to them with anxiety.

“He’s a pretty useful guy, so why did it fail?”

Despite Duke Otien’s mention of failure, Salihan didn’t seem too nervous.

“That’s a question for me, too.
Your Excellency didn’t recognize it, so the Emperor wouldn’t have noticed either.”

I barely managed to calm my pounding chest, remembering that I had not had a headache recently.

“Is there no effect for a Sword Master?”

“It’s probably not.
Isn’t the efficacy strengthened by deliberately preparing according to the Emperor?”

‘…Duke Otien is the culprit!’

In the meantime, Mason has expanded the scope to the continent to investigate poison, but to no avail.
As a result, catching the culprit was unknown.

“He’s a monster, so I don’t know.
His lifeline is very tough.”

“Yes, though if he ate even a little, something must have gone wrong.”

Salihan seemed resentful that he didn’t succeed.

‘Thinking about it for a hundred days.
Can you guess why?’

It was refreshing to know that they couldn’t find the answer.

“Well, seeing the emperor who would have been sword dancing stood still, he doesn’t seem to have figured out the culprit, so it’s good.”

“Your Excellency, why don’t you try again this time?”

“The thing that has already failed?”

Duke Otien frowned.

“Gerald said he was going to meet the Emperor in three days.
Since the Emperor is possessed by the fake princess, wouldn’t the probability of success be high?”

“Hmm, it’s good to make a puppet, but I’m sure it’s better to kill it altogether.”

Duke Otien raised the corners of his mouth sullenly.

‘Are you going to use poison again?’

It seemed that it was a good idea that I followed today.
After all, the more we prepare in advance, the better.

“Is that servant still there?”

“Yeah, I tried to get rid of it right away, but the Emperor was quiet, so I let it go.”

“Okay, the servant will take care of this as soon as this is over.”

“All right.”

“I’m looking forward to it this time.”

When Duke Otien made a satisfied face, Salihan also smiled.
