Chapter: 871

“What did the Young Duke say to bring this time from the South? Do you know what it is?”

“Well, I don’t know the details, but as far as I know… … .”

The investigator spoke uncertainly,

“It’s a flower.”

Vellian was startled to hear a word he could not have imagined.

“Flower?”

“Yes, it was definitely a flower, according to our investigation.”

The investigator looked at him with a puzzled look, as if wondering why he was so surprised.

“Uh, what kind of flower?”

The investigator didn’t seem to find the young duke’s actions suspicious in the slightest.

“It was not poisonous or anything special. They said it was a flower in a pot.”

“Wasn’t it a flower used as a medicinal herb or something like that?”

At Vellian’s urgent question, the investigator shook his head.

“No, as far as I know, but… … . I don’t sure. I heard it wasn’t a poisonous flower, so I didn’t look into it in detail.”

The investigator isn’t even a pharmacist, so he wouldn’t have been able to find out if it was a herb.

“Did anything else look suspicious?”

“No, it was probably just a noble family’s hobby.”

The investigator still didn’t seem very interested in the duke’s actions.

Vellian looked at him blankly.

‘How can this person be so insensitive as an investigator?’

Vellian, who had sent a pathetic gaze to him, then realized.

The fact that Astelle had extensive knowledge of medicinal herbs was known only to a few who followed the journey, including Vellian.

Without knowing that, it was understandable that the investigator was not interested in hearing that the empress’ brother had bought flowers from a faraway area. Because it was not even poisonous.

However, it was hard for Vellian to take it for granted.

“About the pharmacist that the empress keeps close to, did you find out anything about her? Is she particularly suspicious?”
