Chapter: 242

“I kept my promise. I didn’t touch the Marchioness, did I?”

“What the hell……”

Vellian covered his eyes with his hand and let out a long sigh.

He looked very distressed, but unfortunately, Astelle had no sympathy.

He sighed and said, “Well, from the beginning, I didn’t think this tea party would end normally.”

“So, was it the reason you brought His Majesty here?”

Did you think that if you bring the emperor, nothing will happen?

Vellian did not answer. Instead, he questioned Astelle, “Are you satisfied now that you made a big deal out of tricking that foolish Marchioness?”

“I am,” Astelle answered frankly.

“To be honest, I’m glad that dangerous woman has disappeared from Theor’s side.”

Astelle wanted to get rid of the Marchioness.

So she had Hannah show a vial in advance of the Marchioness’ spy and put some powder in the Marchioness’s teacup.

The powder on her teacup was elaine berry powder.

The fruit of the Elaine tree had no taste or smell when ground into a powder. It was a necessary ingredient for making nutritional supplements.

Dried Elaine berries have been in Astelle’s medicine box since she first left the Carlenberg mansion.

Grind the blue Elaine fruit well, add the burned pigment, and combine to form a deep purple powder.

After kneading it and spreading it thinly, tear it up a little bit by hand, and put it in a glass bottle to make it look like purple petals.

Of course, if you look closely, you will quickly notice that it is strange.

It’s hard to tell them apart from a glance.

The Marchioness was terrified, thinking Astelle would retaliate against her.

So she was easily caught up in such a simple thing.

“I am very glad that Lady Astelle is satisfied.”

“Thank you for your help, Count.”

Astelle bowed her head slightly and expressed her gratitude.

Vellian looked at her in shock and spit out curse-like words.
