“It’s okay, it’s okay. If it’s Morgan, there are many sons from the eldest to the youngest in that house. Anyone can replace the eldest son, so it doesn’t matter. In fact, his siblings might even want to thank Sukrel.”

Then, I heard about what Sukrel did… Now, the remaining story was about Gabriel.

“What about Gabriel?”

“He… suddenly complained of a severe stomachache and ran into the Foreign Minister. They collided heavily, and he crushed his buttocks… precisely at that moment, Sukrel and the Royal Guard Knight got into an argument, so we couldn’t examine it in detail.”

“Anyway, everything is settled, and Gabriel is back, right?”

“Yes.”

He collided with the Foreign Minister.

Considering his usual personality, it wouldn’t be surprising if he bumped into someone while rushing around.

But how did he know to hand over a note with information right at that moment?

“What do you think, Merem?”

“Gabriel is the most suspicious.”

“That’s right. Why would there be a reason for physical contact with the Foreign Minister? Of course, it could be a mistake.”

“Rather than that, it’s amusing that the Foreign Minister came all the way to the garden, especially where the queen’s officials are. Isn’t that evidence that someone planted him there?”

Our dear Foreign Minister seems to be feeling light in the buttocks.

Or maybe she was ignoring me to that extent.

“This autumn’s banquet will be hosted by Helene. I’ll go alone to the garden without guards at that time. Merem, you watch me from the terrace.”

“It’s dangerous.”

“You know, if there’s at least one guard with me, they won’t dare to show their tail. Besides, I really don’t think it’s dangerous.”

If someone wanted to assassinate me in the Imperial Palace, there was only one way.

Poison.

But poison wouldn’t work on me.

“At that banquet, take the officials out and search their rooms thoroughly. Let’s see what comes out.”

“Until then?”

“Try to get close to each one individually as much as possible. However, increase the guards strictly from today. That day, let them feel it’s their only chance when I’m alone.”

The Empress, who was always protected, running into the garden alone?

It was as easy and simple as that.

A fight and tears.

‘Enrique needs to be dealt with at least once, so it’s good.’

Perhaps, by casting a large net, I could catch all the fish at once.

Bellifor has yet to reveal his appearance, but he will inevitably face those humans he has influenced one by one.

I put down the empty glass and stretched.

Although Fabell hated it, I was planning to call him to handle the aftermath of the various incidents caused by the officials today.

At times like this, having a demon like Fabell, who never got tired easily, was very useful.

I might want to hire a few more demons besides Fabell.
Due to the preparations for the autumn banquet, the imperial palace was bustling with energy.

As there wasn’t ample preparation time, while Baekhwa Palace was busier than ever with the autumn banquet arrangements, I could receive the first report sent by the investigator dispatched to the eastern part.

“Quad’s situation is incredibly miserable. Most children are suffering from malnutrition, and there is a rising sense of rebellion in their stomachs. Adults look impoverished, and you can’t even see common dogs or cats on the streets. It is speculated that they might have eaten them all….”
