However, the slight difference was that Calix mentioned various types of flowers in the greenhouse garden, while the old man said it was filled only with Asdel.
“At that time, because the current Empress treated me well, she didn’t scold me for entering the greenhouse garden without permission. Instead, she patiently explained the names and characteristics of each flower planted in the greenhouse.”
“So, Empress mentioned that Asdel’s natural enemy is a flower called Urensia?”
“Yes. I don’t remember the other flowers well, but I vividly remember Asdel because it was fascinating to see a flower blooming in the desert.”
“Do you happen to remember anything else? There’s almost no one who knows Asdel, and we haven’t been able to find any information beyond what’s in the books.”
“Just a moment.”
Calix paused for a moment to recollect his memories.
“I’m sorry. Besides what I mentioned, there’s nothing else that comes to mind. If something else comes up, I’ll let you know.”
“Yes. Thank you.”
“Herena, as I thought…”
Having heard the suspicion about the Empress earlier, Adelia looked at me.
“Lord Crayton’s story now is similar to what we heard from the old man in Gronis.”
“Gronis? Are you referring to the Eastern Marquis’s territory there?”
“Yeah. When searching for Asdel, someone mentioned that one might find it in Gronis. So, I went to Gronis with Kaern.”
I recounted to both of them the events of meeting the old man in Gronis and visiting the estate of the Eastern Marquis in chronological order.
“But probably, when the Empress was younger, she cultivated various flowers in the greenhouse garden. However, at some point, it seems she started focusing on Asdel for a special purpose.”
“If that’s the case, it’s likely the Empress…”
“It’s too early to conclude, but that’s the most probable scenario.”
Kaern, who had been silent all along, agreed with Adelia’s words.
“Brother, what do you plan to do from now on?”
“Set a trap.”
“A trap?”
“I’ll set an inescapable trap. So, she has no choice but to confess.”
“Is that possible? The opponent is the Empress.”
Kaern, sharp and intense, glared at Adelia, who seemed skeptical.
“We must decisively pay the price for interfering with the Laverion family.”
Upon hearing this, Adelia’s gaze became as intense as Kaern’s.
“Brother is right. We need to firmly crush it so that it can never dream again.”
The two siblings exchanged intense looks, reaffirming their understanding.
“Calix. I think I’ll have to stay in the capital until the matter is resolved.”
With that, Adelia declared that she would stay in the capital until the issue was resolved.
“If that’s my wife’s decision, I have nothing more to say. But if you’re here, I’ll be here with you. We’re always together, you know.”
“Calix…”
The stern atmosphere that Adelia had emitted just moments ago softened in an instant. Watching this, I was once again reminded of the immense power of love.
Afterward, we began to gather our thoughts and make plans for what to do next. Our first step was to approach Blake, who had called me back to the temple, promising to give me Asdel again.
