Chapter: 808

“Who did you hear that from?”

No one has yet been informed that the emperor fell down from poisoning.

A scornful, contented smile appeared on the Duke’s lips.

“How did you get in here? I have ordered the palace to be locked down.” Astelle asked again, unable to wait for his answer.

“I came in before you gave the order.”

As soon as Astelle learned the emperor had fainted from poisoning, she immediately ordered the palace to be locked down.

Less than an hour had passed since she ordered the gate to be locked and restricted access.

It was impossible to come here from the mansion after hearing the news within that short time.

This means that the Duke knew before Astelle, that the emperor was poisoned.

Astelle turned around.

“Where are you going?”

“I will order them to arrest you.”

Her father’s laughter was heard from behind.

“What do you think will happen to you and the Crown Prince if I die as an emperor assassin?”

“Are you admitting that you are the culprit?”

“I am.”

The Duke of Reston was smiling very brazenly.

Astelle desperately wanted to hit her father.

“Did you poison Theor’s food?”

At Astelle’s question, the Duke of Reston raised one eyebrow.

“Is that possible? What if our precious prince is in danger? Only the emperor’s drink was poisoned. To be precise, I put it on ice.”

That’s how it happened.

“Do you have the antidote?” Astelle asked again, holding back the rising anger.

“Is there such a thing?”

It wouldn’t be a lie.
