Chapter: 56

The clasps with small hooks hanging on either side were so thin that they could only be opened with bare hands.

And the maid cannot wear the gloves.

“I just wondering……”

Astelle pulled out the handkerchief and cleaned the clasp.

“I applied the juice of Lagenin here.”

The moment Astelle realized that someone was opening the box, she picked up the Lagenin she had found in the corner of the greenhouse, squeezed out the juice, and applied it to the clasp.

“Lagenin is just a rare weed in the forest, but when its juice touches the skin, it causes a red rash. Particularly sensitive areas like fingers have a rash quickly. It’s not lethal, but it doesn’t go away easily. It will also itch on the skin.”

Astelle ordered the maids, who stood side by side with hardened faces.

“Show your hands.”

At Astelle’s command, there was a heavy silence in the room for a moment.

There was tension in Lyndon’s face as well.

The maids slowly extended their hands forward.

The first maid’s hand was fine.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the hand of the third maid.

The middle part of her little white palm had no wound.

However, there was a bright red rash sprouted on her forefinger and as if sprinkled with red powder.

The tip of her upper index finger and the inside of her thumb were completely red.

She must have used her thumb and index finger to open the clasp.

The maid who looked into her hand, looked at Astelle with a desperate expression.

“La, Lady, I……”

“Tell me who ordered you.”

The maid was surprised and stiffened at Astelle’s coldly subdued voice.

The maid’s eyes trembled anxiously, but she didn’t open her mouth easily.

Well, to get her to do something like that, she would have been threatened.

Astelle looked straight at the maid and said calmly, “If you don’t tell me who ordered you, I can assume that you were trying to steal, or in severe cases, poison me.”
