In recent days, several media outlets in Emmaly have extensively covered the return of an important heir from the Asavadevathin family. They've delved into various topics, from personal preferences to past experiences abroad. Some have even dug up historical details about the heir's parents, with a few going as far as live-streaming Prince Tarin's wedding ceremony from over twenty years ago, sparking criticism.

When Kanin made his debut in front of the media, the reception was largely positive. Many admired the authenticity of the Asavadevathin heir. However, doubts lingered for some about his origins. Some speculated about a conspiracy theory suggesting that the Asavadevathin leaders might have orchestrated a fake heir to maintain their chance to compete for the position of Sovereign-King.

Inside the master bedroom of the Phitakthewa estate, the faint sound of the TV played softly in the background. A tall figure, clad in deep navy blue silk pajamas, paused from their task of sorting through documents, drawn in by the interview featuring the Young-Lord of Asavadevathin.

As the coach's testimonial faded from the screen, attention shifted to a fair-haired boy who had also spoken to the media, albeit with a hesitant demeanor. Charan scrutinized the boy closely, a memory from a past night resurfacing in his mind.

This young man was Paul, Kanin's close friend, who had once supported his courtship efforts alongside many others. With each incoming news report, Charan's nervous system felt another wave of familiar faces flood his senses, ones he hadn't seen in almost a week, displayed on the rectangular screen, solutions, mining, and electroplating. Potassium cyanide is another form of cyanide, similar in properties to sodium cyanide but often used in gold mining and jewelry production due to its ability to dissolve gold.

As Charan delved deeper into his research, he realized the gravity of the situation. Potassium cyanide was a lethal poison, capable of causing death within minutes if ingested. The thought of an assassin carrying such a deadly substance within their teeth sent shivers down his spine.

With a sense of urgency, Charan instructed the lab to analyze the assassin's teeth thoroughly and report any findings immediately. He knew that uncovering the identity of the assassin and preventing any further harm was paramount.As he hung up the phone, Charan couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that lingered within him. The stakes were higher than ever, and time was of the essence in unraveling the mystery surrounding the assassin's deadly weapon.

The mention of potassium cyanide and its lethal effects sent a chill down Charan's spine. Even a small amount of this substance could prove fatal to humans, causing seizures, breathing difficulties, and ultimately, death by depriving the brain of oxygen. It was a method commonly associated with professional assassins, indicating a high level of commitment to their mission. The thought of someone willing to risk their life by concealing such a deadly poison in their teeth raised Charan's suspicions further. It suggested a deep-seated grudge against Asavadevatin, motivating them to go to extreme lengths to obstruct the arrival of an heir apparent.

As Charan processed the reports, his tension mounted, casting an oppressive atmosphere in the room. With each passing moment, the urgency to uncover the truth intensified. Charan knew that as a leader, he needed to rely on his intellect to navigate this perilous situation.

Determined to leave no stone unturned, Charan urgently requested information on the use of potassium cyanide across the country, including its sources of production. The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on his mind as he awaited the necessary information to move forward.

Meanwhile, above the young man secretly took a breath, and for a moment, the teacher turned his gaze away from the window and looked back inside the reception room for another glimpse, which emphasized a color palette of brown and cream. The room was adorned with large billboards, equivalent to a two-story building. In the center of the room, a small wooden piano stands as a decoration, contrasting with the short white fur carpet. The atmosphere invites relaxation. If not for the fact that two people were sitting and staring at each other, an inexplicable tension would have emerged. It feels like being an animal in a zoo. The young man absorbed the atmosphere around him and stealthily took a breath, feeling trapped. The important part is that the two individuals sitting on the opposite side, one woman from Thawetmetha and one man from Puchongpisut
