haman met was Salihan, Duke Otien’s aide.”

“Salihan… He’s the second son of Count Noike.”

I also told him about the conversation between Gerald and Salihan in a hurry.
Even Duke Otien’s intentions for doing this.

“Are they going to use me like a puppet? Their dreams are wild.”

Declan raised the corners of his lips sourly.

“Right? I’m here for you.”

Declan grinned as I grinned.

“Yes, I have you, my secret weapon.”

“Secret weapon? That’s nice.”

“They won’t be able to find out until they die.”

Of course.
I am the perfect secret weapon.

“Oh, and I learned something really important.”

“Are they up to something else?”

“The culprit of the last poison case.”

“Yes.
Mason is looking, but I haven’t heard from him yet.”

At that, I raised my chin and replied curiously, “I think I found the culprit?”

“You…?”

He looked a little startled at my remarks, but then Declan narrowed his eyes.

“Is it Duke Otien?”

“They say Gerald made the poison.”

“That shaman must have many talents.”

Even though it was a compliment, his expression was cold.

“And, I know the servant who put the poison in His Majesty’s food.”

“The results are more significant than expected.”

Seeing him admiring me, a sense of pride spread throughout my body and I answered proudly.

“I told you I was the best person in terms of a lifeline.
Now you know my worth?”

“Yes, I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you.
It’s very reassuring.”

Noticing Declan’s smiling face made me smile as well.

“Now that we have this information, let’s make our own trap, shall we?”

A very tight and strong one.

“That would be fun.”

We gazed at each other and smiled like a villain.

Three days later, we sat down with Gerald again.

“I don’t even know how time passed.
How have you been?”

Gerald greeted politely.

‘You must have been a little busy.
Making poison or preparing for today’s performance?’

I glared at Gerald cunningly.

‘That’s the face of a money hungry.’

His face seemed to be brighter than a few days ago.

“Thanks to you, I slept comfortably.
The thought of meeting Chloe again made me excited.”

“I can’t tell you how thrilled it was to see the reunion of the Princess and Your Majesty.”

“I can’t wait any longer.
Come on, let’s meet Chloe.”

When Declan urged him as if he couldn’t stand it, he was satisfied and performed the same spell as the last time.

“Brother, it’s so good to see you again.”

The fake Chloe was glad to see him with her eyes curled up nicely.

“I wanted to see you, too.”

I turned my head towards him at the voice that was somehow hoarse.

Nostalgia was deep in his green eyes, and I held his hand quietly.
Then, Declan turned his head slightly and smiled faintly.

‘…I can’t believe he’s still digging through the wounds of a hurt person with Chloe.’

Seriously, I can’t wait for Gerald to get caught.

Meanwhile, Declan naturally continued the conversation with the fake Chloe.

“Your Majesty, I’m thirsty because I’ve been concentrating on magic.
Could you give me a cup of tea?

“Oh, I didn’t even notice since I was watching Chloe.”

Noah, who came to Declan’s call, prepared a tea soon.

“Please.”

“Thank you.”

Gerald leisurely raises his teacup, and Chloe speaks in the meantime, “Because it’s like this, it reminds me of the time we had tea together.
Do Brother remember, too?”

The fake Chloe glanced down at Declan’s teacup.

“Well, of course, I remember.
Tea time with Chloe was the most enjoyable.”

Seeing Declan soaking with sorrow as if reminiscing on the past, my heart sank heavily.

“I liked that time the best, too.
Brother, shall we do the same then?”

“Like back then?”

At that, Declan tilted his head.

“Brother brought me a new tea every time.”

At her words, he nodded his head slightly.

“I can’t drink tea right now, but I’ll pretend I’m drinking.
So, brother, drink it.”

Fake Chloe smiled and moved her hand to pretend to be holding a teacup.

“Um, what kind of tea is this? It has a mild scent, similar to chrysanthemum, and tastes like…”

She pretended to be sipping tea.

“The first taste is savory, and the end tastes a bit bitter.
How about it?”

When Chloe asked with a gleam in her eyes, Declan quietly looked into the teacup before turning towards me.

I nodded my head slightly.

“Well, I don’t know what tea tastes like.”

“Why? You can drink it.”

The fake Chloe put on a sullen look.

At that moment, Declan’s eyes shone sharply.

“It’s very sad that our Chloe is trying to kill this brother.”
