Upon noticing Latil, the consorts and servants greeted her simultaneously.

Latil lightly waved her hand to omit the greeting, then, as the assembly quieted down, she put on a stern face and spoke in a crisp voice.

“Some of you may already know this, but someone poisoned the soup Ranamun was supposed to eat.”

She had scolded the consorts and palace people before when Guesta was hit by a flying stone.

Therefore, the consorts and palace people had guessed that Latil might talk about the soup incident when they were called here.

However, when Latil openly discussed it, everyone’s expression darkened.

Throwing a stone was dangerous enough, but spiking food with an unknown drug was truly horrendous, and they couldn’t predict what Latil, who would even execute her own halfsiblings when angry, would do.

“Tasir.”

When Latil suddenly called out to Tasir, he tilted his head in confusion.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Come and open that lid.”

When Tasir walked over to the table and lifted the lid, everyone watching gasped. Inside was a bowl of soup.

Since the harem had already been swept by rumors about the soup, everyone thought that this was definitely the soup Ranamun had left uneaten.

This was what Latil intended.

Holding the lid in one hand, Tasir looked at Latil with a face saying, ‘What is this?’ He didn’t understand why he was asked to open the lid.

Instead of explaining, Latil signaled to a servant waiting outside the room. The servant, receiving the signal, brought in silver spoons and spread them out on the table.

There were five spoons. Seeing them, Tasir looked at Latil with a ‘You don’t mean?’ expression.

“Take turns eating two spoonfuls each.”

At Latil’s words, the crowd murmured louder.

“Your Majesty, in there is……!”

One of the onlooking palace people mustered up the courage to speak, but upon seeing Latil’s expressionless face, they instantly shut up.

“In there is?”

“That……”

“Do you know what’s in there? I don’t.”

The atmosphere suggested that anyone contradicting now could be accused of poisoning the soup, so the palace person eventually shrank back and retreated. Latil again ordered Tasir.

“Just eat two spoonfuls.”

And then, as a warning, Latil looked around at everyone gathered in the room and muttered,

“It’s okay. Ranamun also ate two spoonfuls and didn’t die.”

Despite the comforting words, people’s expressions paled with fear. Because they didn’t know Ranamun’s current condition, they couldn’t easily guess what ‘didn’t die’ meant.

Yet, everyone thought, ‘We don’t know who poisoned Ranamun, so the emperor might be trying to punish everyone in anger.’

“……”

But Tasir, seeming to contemplate something for a moment, faintly smiled and promptly ate two spoonfuls.

As he put down the spoon, Latil immediately turned her gaze towards Carlein.

“Next, Carlein.”

Carlein too, without hesitation, approached the bowl, ate two spoonfuls of soup, and stepped back.

“Klein.”

Klein had a look of unjust resentment on his face, as if asking ‘why, when I could have been a victim if the rumor is true?’ but he did eat as told. He kept looking at Latil as if protesting while he ate.

After Klein stepped back, the next in line was the regent, who ate the soup. And when the regent stepped back, it was Guesta’s turn.

Guesta, too, approached without much reaction like the other consorts, and picked up the spoon.

While Guesta was scooping the soup, Latil cast a sharp glance at Guesta’s attendants and other servants.

[This is the time separator]

And she felt Latil’s cold gaze more intensely than anyone else.

Whether it was because the emperor was truly looking at her or because of a guilty conscience, she stood next to Guesta, finding it hard to breathe properly, fearing that others might hear her heart pounding.

Could it be true? Could the soup over there be the one she had mixed the medicine into?

However, if she heard the rumors, she was the culprit.

The soup dish that was supposed to go to Klein, but due to the servants changing the menu in between, it went to Ranamun.

Gritting her fists tightly, she blamed herself for how things had turned out.

If Klein had taken the medicine as originally planned, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.

The changed dish going to Ranamun, and the discovery of the drug in the soup. Could things get more complicated?

‘Damn it. What should I do……’

Forcing herself to be aware of her fingernails that kept trying to reach her mouth, she watched Guesta slowly bring a spoonful of soup to his mouth.

No, it was normal speed, but to her eyes, it seemed terribly slow.

Everything except her own perspective seemed to move so slowly that she could see dust floating in the air and even the wind.

‘Ah, it can’t be. What should I do. His Lordship can’t eat that.’

And the moment Guesta put the soup in his mouth and closed his jaw, she couldn’t bear it anymore and opened her mouth.

[This is the time separator]

A few days ago.

Baekhwa, the leader of the Holy Knights’ White Flower Art Squadron, received a report that a person suspected of being a black wizard had been caught in a small village with poor transportation.

However, when he received the report, Emperor Latrasil was not in her seat, so he could not report it to her and had to leave the palace.

Since he could report it to the Emperor later if necessary, he went to verify the captured black wizard first.

Black wizards were not uncommon in the old days, but now most of them have disappeared or are hiding, making them difficult to find.

Most people never see them once in their lifetime, and even if there is a commotion that a black wizard has appeared, most of the time it is just someone playing a cruel prank or being falsely accused and framed as a black wizard.

Therefore, even though Baekhwa personally came down to the small village, he did not expect the reported black wizard to be real.

“What’s going on?”

However, from the entrance of the village, Baekhwa realized that this matter might not be as easy as he thought, because of the unusually heavy silence he felt there.

The two Holy Knights that Baekhwa brought along also furrowed their brows and looked around.

“It’s too quiet.”

“For a small village…… this is a bit much.”

Even in a quiet village, there are usually sounds of daily life.

Even if it’s not the sound made by people, there should be sounds of birds flying between trees, insects in the grass, etc. But there was no sound at all in this place.

Moreover, there was no one walking around. Even though it’s the countryside, people wouldn’t stay locked in their houses even at noon.

“I’m not sure if we should go in.”

As one of the knights murmured quietly, Baekhwa also nodded cautiously.

“That’s right. It’s a bit daunting.”

“We’ll have to find the knights who reportedly captured the black wizard first. If something dangerous had happened, they would have left a mark.”

“Let’s look around the village first.”
