Chapter: 239

Kaizen glanced at the other maid, ordered her to check it out.

Hannah’s ring was a simple ring with a small ruby ​​embedded in a thin ring.

The maid took her ring and examined it carefully. After that, the maid handed the ring to Vellian.

But no matter how he looked, the result was the same.

“Your Majesty, this is just an ordinary ring.”

“Nonsense!”

The Marchioness snatched the ring from Vellian, and she took a closer look at it herself.

But she couldn’t reveal a secret space in the ring as she hoped.

“That maid tried to poison me! She put the purple powder in my teacup.”

Hannah, who was standing idly, later defended her own actions.

“I was just trying to pick up a petal that fell off into the teacup. But suddenly the Marchioness got angry and……”

“Do not lie!”

“Have you checked the teacup?”

Astelle, who was watching quietly, asked in a calm voice.

For a moment, everyone’s eyes turned to Astelle.

“Call the doctor and see if the tea really poisonous.”

The Emperor thought that Astelle had a point and ordered another maid.

“Call the doctor!”

After a while, a middle-aged doctor was called into the tea room.

He was the doctor Astelle had met once when she was ill with a fever at the inn in the country town.

“Check the teacup for poison.”

The doctor listened to the situation and carefully examined the teacup.

In the imperial palace, there was always a gem used to test for toxic substances.

The doctor placed the thin needle of the jewel into the teacup and observed the reaction.

He checked twice more, but nothing came up.
