Whwhat?"

All the men's faces, including the Duke, were shocked. "The maid has died?"
The butler notified with a dark face.
"Yes, she has died by bitting her tongue in her mouth." "Huh, what's it? Renald."

The Duke looked back at his second son, who was in charge of the interrogation.

"Well, it can't be! She made the statement so faithfully that I didn't even have to use torture, and why"

Renald muttered like an excuse with a face that the Duke didn't understand at all.

The maid who insisted that she only did what Penelope had told her, trembled at the very moment she was brought in.

There was no falsehood in her face.

However, self-examination was the custom of assassins who lost their mission. The atmosphere quickly became serious.

There was a bizarre silence in the drawing room. "First of all, investigate the actions of the dead maid."

After quite a long time, the Crown Prince ordered in a heavy voice.

"Where did she get the poison, what did she normally do in the dukedorm, what she was doing before the coming-of-age ceremony, and how many contacts she had with the princess."

"………."

"It's too bad that she is dead, because I really wanted to find out if it was the Princess's order, if this is case then it is the way I used to use it on the battlefield."

While shrugging his shoulders like a joke, Callisto was not smiling at all.

Still, looking at him, who seemed to have focused on someone trying to kill the princess, someone carefully added.

"She isYvonne's maid."

"Then, you'd better to include that bitch in this investigation." "Your Highness!"

"You said she wasn't confirmed to be your own daughter yet?" "That, that"

The Duke could not speak. It was true, but there was a law in everything.

The Duke's face was stained with humiliation at the sight of the Crown Prince, who casually controlled the sensitive issues inside the family.

Either way, the Crown Prince concluded at his own will.

"Good for you. At this point, you should check every detail of the commoner, Duke." "Doesn't the Marquis state that Penelope was poisoned and drank it herself?"

Then someone asked back hard.

Callisto turned his head. It was the Young Duke who was impatient to accuse the Princess. "Oh, yes."

The Crown Prince nodded lightly, then turned his gaze from Derrick and looked at the other. "By the way, Marquis of Verdandi, why do you think that the princess doesn't have a self-play?"

The Crown Prince, who managed to remember what he was trying to say before the butler came in, asked.

"That…"

Vinter couldn't answer immediately and shook his lips. It certainly wasn't her self-play if it included a dead maid.

This is because she asked the poison from the office's head through her decent maid. Moreover, before she lifted the glass, she looked at the necklace.

Obviously, she knew that the color of the necklace had changed to the primary color. Maybe she drank something different from the poison he gave her.
