Chapter 172.

The sudden appearance of her own daughter, the woman also took it in stride.

Quickly avoiding the distorted atmosphere, the behavior of calmly forcing the ceremony was more elegant and decent than any great nobleman. This is completely inconsistent with the nickname “Eckhardt’s Mad Dog”.

(For the sake of the main character.) The low voice was like a magic spell, and at that moment, time stopped for everyone. During this time, the woman alone held her glass high and drank in one gulp.” Black.”

Then spat blood and fell. Pink hair that was close to red, in a thousand strands like falling flowers.

So Derrick couldn’t tell right away what had gone wrong. Not only him, but also Eben, Leonard, and Duke, who were standing next to the bar, didn’t know what was going on and stood there frozen.

The dismembered woman’s body managed to grab the dagger.” Pfft!”

But once again, the tiny body lunged, bleeding as it did.

“Doctor…!”

“Ahhhhh!”

The auditorium instantly turned noisy with the strange sound of a late step.

“Penelope ……” Derrick pursed his lips and instinctively danced forward.

At that moment.” Penelope Eckhardt!”

Someone shoved his body violently. Losing his balance and hobbling, Derrick was surprised to see the foot, the flowing blonde hair. The Crown Prince, sitting quietly in the back, suddenly ran. Like instantaneous movement, he flew over to the table, barely accepting my collapsing body and falling into his arms.

The red water transferred to the snowy white uniform he wore. It took Derrick a moment to realize with certainty that Penelope was vomiting blood. At the same time, a huge speechless man began squeezing his shoulders. It was impossible to move. Just opened his eyes and looked at the scarlet ones dangling from the Crown Prince’s arms.

“Please call a doctor, please call a doctor!” Clutching Penelope, the Crown Prince howled. The thunderous voice lifted the magic. One by one the frozen men filled with astonishment began to move.” Open your eyes, male daughter. Hmm? Don’t perceive, Watanabe Apricot. Please, please ……”

The sticky blood didn’t mind getting on his hands, and the Crown Prince whispered as he caressed Penelope. There was a wonderful attachment between the two people who were dotted with lush rumors.

Later, the sober Duke, pale, approached them.” …Me, Your Highness.”

“Damn, when the hell is the doctor coming! Do you see the baby dying?!” But afraid to strike up a conversation, the Crown Prince blinked. Be wary, as if the Duke had snatched the woman from his arms.

“I, I can save the Duke’s daughter!” At that moment, someone cried out eagerly. The Marquis of Belldandy.

The man who pushed his way through the swarming crowd to make his entrance had no disengagement. With a jaded face, he quickly ran towards the crown prince who was holding the unconscious male daughter subdued.

“Your Royal Highness, please allow me to look at the male daughter for a while.”

“What can you do.”

“There is the antidote that I usually carry with me in case of a critical situation.”

“Marquis Belldandy! There’s someone in the Duke’s residence trying to poison him right now!” The Duke reacted sharply. For this was a sensitive issue that could lead to political problems. Only suspicions could arise, it was too early to be sure.

“That’s not …… a question I dare answer.”

Winter glanced at the crowd surrounding the Crown Prince and Penelope and added.

“I just want to give you first aid, right away.”

“I believe you what.”

The Crown Prince looked at him and spoke heavily.

“Even if the male daughter took poison, she doesn’t know what it is, and there’s no telling what your stuff will do.”

“It’s the antidote to the poison.” Answered Wynter.

“I don’t know exactly what kind of poison the male daughter ate, a full antidote would be difficult, but any kind of love would act as a neutralizer.”

The Crown Prince narrowed his eyes and stared at the kind of Marquis. It was as if he was weighing whether or not he could be trusted. The duke shook his head with a heavy expression.

“Your Highness is right. It’s not a certainty that Penelope ate poison, it’s just a matter of waiting for the doctor …….”

“Whether it’s poison, or whatever, it’s harmful to the body, it’s better to feed it something right away.”

By then, dull-faced and frozen red, Leonard made bloodshot eyes and beckoned to his father.

“But ……”

“Don’t you trust the Marquis de Belldandy, Papa? This is first aid. This way, she’ll be dead before the doctor comes.”

Confirming the direction the end of his finger was facing, the Duke twisted his face and closed his mouth. Until just now, the body of Penelope, who had been spitting blood and cramping, had unconsciously calmed down. Callisto begged her to keep her eyes open, both of them closed beautifully and motionless. A face as cold as a corpse, a cold breath. Acknowledging his Crown Prince’s orders.

“Hello.”

“Your Highness!”

“But in case something goes wrong.” Containing the shouts of the retaining Duke, the Crown Prince also chanted as if chewing it up.” …… You must be prepared, Marquis.”

Permission fell in a heap, and Winter’s calm face put his hand into his arms. Taciturn in front of others, but ridiculously shaky fingertips after disappearing from sight. Maybe I brought the antidote, but he swore he didn’t know this would work that way.

“…Back then, no matter what I heard, I should have refused.” A wave of remorse swept through his head.

“The lady said that if she refused the commission, she would have to pay the debt.”

But the moment he heard the maid’s words, he couldn’t bear to say the words of refusal. He was a sinner to her. Rila’s sin of wildly suspecting and testing someone who had nothing to do with it.

‘But don’t lie with nonsense like concern.’

Meanwhile, my feelings were lukewarm and I deceived her with words. Ever since he heard about not contacting him after finding it first, he constantly agonized between the urge to reach out and ask for forgiveness, and giving up and putting up with it. Finally, she had sent the maid to him, and from the maid had conveyed the commission again. The idea of hearing it at the time was more like relief and worry than ridicule or disappointment. I know it was an irreverent thought far removed from the beliefs that had been held all this time. But the idea of creating a poison with no antidote was never intended to be drunk on its own. What’s more, it was given to me to take the poison and pour …… it down. But why . . .

She must have known the golden cup was poisoned. The beads of the necklace changed color. Even he who sat trembling at a distance could recognize the bright color, there was no way she hadn’t seen it. But why drink it with such a forlorn expression.

The chaos mingling inside was disgusting. But now was not the time to think of unanswered questions or ponder from the moment. He gritted his teeth and yanked the bottle he’d reached for outward. The bottle containing the purple liquid, uncorked the glass bottle and lowered it straight down.

Although the order was given under his breath, the look of the crown prince who was holding the male daughter was bitter. He desperately suppressed it and said.” Your Highness, the lady’s face ……”

The crown prince glared at him in a cowering manner and barely managed to get the public daughter’s face out of his arms. The blood revealed the wet face.

In that gruesome situation, Min Ji’s hand opened her lips and angled the bottle. One drop, two drops, three drops. The liquid similar to poison that was given to her fell down with a clatter.

The faint sound of breathing like it was about to stop. Naoyuki gradually regained her original appearance came. The face as pale as a corpse also began to blood.

“Duke! I’ve brought a doctor!”

Just in time, the doctor summoned by the deacon and the user with the stretcher arrived. Penelope, who had been finished by Winter’s first aid, was quickly transferred to the mansion.

“Ha…… held his breath watching her mouth as everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Except for one person. Derrick. He took a step in his hasty return and until the end, just watched it all in silence. Through and through!

He woke up with a flash of fire in his cheek.

“What the hell are you doing!”

Opening his eyes, he saw his dad with his face askew.
