Chapter: 237

‘I have no choice but to go back to the tea room.’

Still, it’s better to go to the tea room than to be in the same room with that disgusting woman.

The Marchioness walked through the garden and returned to the tea room.

It was just when she was about to enter the tea room. She saw someone already inside.

She was a young maid.

The brown-haired maid was touching the Marchioness’ teacup.

She was Astelle’s maid who had spilled tea a while ago.

There were two more maids in the tea room, but one did not pay attention to the side of the table because she was arranging the three-tiered tray near the wall. And the other was rearranging the vases by the window.

Neither of them could see what Astelle’s maid was doing.

The Marchioness carefully approached.

The brown-haired maid was putting something in the teacup with her back turned away from the other maids.

The Marchioness hid her body behind the door and watched.

The maid slightly turned the ring she was wearing on her middle finger.

Then, powder came out of it.

It was a light purple powder.

The Marchioness shouted,

“What are you doing now?”

***

Astelle was in the exhibition room.

The maid who came in with an urgent expression informed the commotion in the tea room.

“The Marchioness has asked Your Majesty to come back to the tea room.”

The maid was talking to Kaizen.

Kaizen asked with a tone that he didn’t care what the Marchioness did, “What’s going on?”

But the words that came out of the maid’s mouth were shocking.

“Lady Astelle’s maid was caught trying to put poison in Marchioness’ teacup.”
