Chapter: 872

Vellian had asked him to investigate that woman as well.

“Not much. That woman, the pharmacist, went from place to place selling medicine. From what we found out, there was no mention of selling suspicious drugs, and there was no particular problem.”

“… … really?”

“Yes, and besides, I’ve been living in the Empress Palace for the past few days, so I couldn’t keep an eye on everything.”

Vellian continued his worries as he touched the tip of his chin.

When the emperor collapsed, the empress kept him in her palace. Meanwhile, the young duke suddenly ordered a strange flower from the South.

The flower has not arrived yet. Before the flower arrived, the emperor recovered from his illness and returned to his palace.

‘Well… … .’

It’s definitely suspicious.

Maybe… … .

The empress tried to kill the emperor under the guise of illness.

The pharmacist may have developed a drug that would make him die as if he had a disease.

The flower ordered by the young duke was an important ingredient in the medicine. However, there was difficulty in obtaining it.

So the emperor had recovered before the flower arrived.

‘Is that too much of a guess?’

He couldn’t be sure because there was no evidence.

With a sigh, Vellian gave the last order to the investigator,

“Watch the pharmacist more. And the herbs brought by the young duke… … . No, I mean, find out more about the flower.

Astelle and Theor are now in the greenhouse located at one entrance to the palace garden.

It was made of transparent glass from the ceiling to the walls, so on a clear day, the sun shines through.

Delicate patterns are engraved on the surface of the glass wall.

They couldn’t come here because it was hot in summer, but since it’s getting colder, it’s perfect to spend time here.

“Blynn, catch it!”

Theor threw a ball toward the fountain. Next to the flower bed in the clear sunlight, Blynn jumped and ran after the ball.
