Chapter 87.

“Report!”
“Marquis!”
Marquis Ellen’s aide hurried into the tent.
“Duchess Eckart has just returned from the forest alone! Arrested on the spot and escorted to prison!”
“Alone? What about the Crown Prince? How is the Crown Prince?”
“With the testimony of the Duchess, the fainted Crown Prince was also found and was rushed to the Crown Prince’s Palace.”
“Not yet awake. Also, you lower your head ……”
“It hasn’t been verified if there was a poison that caused it. But there are many subtle wounds confirmed on the body.”
“Is that so?”
‘That’s it!’
The old man’s face brightened. In order to prevent a fierce battle, he instructed that it would be best to coat the weapons with poison again. It was a rat-killing poison found even in desert countries. The effect of the poison did not appear immediately, but gradually appeared after a day or two. Therefore, it was well suited in the event of a failed assassination.
Maybe that’s how funerals can be done!
Marquis Ellen imagined a happy future, and suddenly his eyes became sharp.
“The aftermath must have been well done, right? The traces on the cliffs were disposed of, I believe.”
“Yes, along with the traces, all the weapons from all the assassinations in the forest were recovered, and the remnants of Layla’s new country are well hidden under the palace of the Imperial Consort.”
“Well done. Can’t the waking man remember what he remembered before he fainted?”
“Yes, Marquis.”
“That’s wonderful ……”
Marquis Ellen’s eyes lit up at how much work had gone into this one.
The Crown Prince who had returned from the war had first cut off the Second Prince’s faction from the underground forces. As a result it was not possible to hire an assassination group as before. As a result, the ambitious ones had to be expelled from the main six clans of the Second Prince’s Faction.
Hunting competitions were held to turn them into capital nobles, and then they were trained in assassination. One of them was a distant member of Count Ellen’s family, Baron Toulet.
But only five or six of them can’t take on the Crown Prince. It just so happened to match the awesome relationship with Leila’s new country, and even mobilized the royal consort to invite those who had supported him into the palace.
So he sent 20 assassins to to go after the Crown Prince. …… What, what! Everyone fainted!
Marquis Ellen was very emotional when he heard the news that the attendants who were sent to the aftermath had found that all the assassins had fainted.
Fortunately, it wasn’t hard to find the witnesses and helpers who were with the Crown Prince.
-She threatened to become an idiot if she was hit with a stone bow. It must have been the woman who made the Baron do that!
Seeing her fiancé who has turned into an idiot, the angry and shouting Kailin-sama delivers her testimony, and the goings on of the male daughter are marvelous. Plus, the crown prince must have stabbed the assassin to death with a knife.
It didn’t matter if the assassination failed because there were eyewitnesses, the sky seemed to be falling for the Second Prince’s faction, but there would be a turnaround someday.
”Now there’s only the matter of dealing with the public daughter left.”
Earl Ellen played a trick and instead, had the only witness, the male daughter, take the blame.
The male daughter was known as the ‘mad dog of the duke’s family’, and with a reputation that was at its worst, convincing people was easy.
At first, the idea was to use ‘murder of a nobleman’ as a false accusation to blur the argument, but it just so happened that the Crown Prince also fell into a state of unconsciousness. It was clear that God was helping Leila’s new country.
“Isn’t this enough to hit that unlikeable Eckhardt family hard!”
Marquis Ellen smiled in satisfaction. And the most important thing was that one could immediately get rid of the suspicion so that one could receive benefits.
In that sense, it was good that the prey of the culprit of the failed assassination was the male daughter. While watching Eckhardt’s mad dog, the assassin sent by the new country was released from the palace and all evidence was extinguished.
The death of the wandering crown prince would be the icing on the cake if he died just like that, but it didn’t matter if he didn’t die right away. Just like the countless assassinations that had been attempted so far, without evidence, the crown prince’s claims would be meaningless.
“Not only will the nobles be struck down, but the royal family will have to submit and cry!”
When the Crown Prince woke up again, everything related to the assassination would be the Duchess of Eckhardt’s crime, completely over.
A perfect plan, Marquis Ellen had a soothing look on his face and laughed once again.
“By the way, has Toulet still not regained his sanity?”
“Yes, still ……”
“How useless!”
The aide’s slurred speech infuriated Count Ellen.
“Feeding him all the expensive dissolved blood, and he’s delirious before he can do anything about it!”
Baron Toulet was a royal child who grew up late in life and was nominally a foreigner to the royal consort. It was so uncharacteristic.
Eventually found him, a little slow-witted, but managed to turn him into a healthy sidekick come what may. Invested expensive money in feeding him magically congealed dissolved blood to make him smart, and betrothed him to Kailin, making him a noble of the capital.
“I thought it was so hard to act like a human being ……”
Marquis Ellen smacked his lips with dissatisfaction and suddenly stood up from his seat.
“Go see Baron Toulet first.”
Baron Tullet’s brain remained a melting pot of confusion.
“Magic side effects.”
The palace doctor who came to review the situation shook his head and said.
“Magic side effects …… What’s that all about?”
“The short-term body was overexposed to magic and temporarily lost brain function. We can only wait for him to slowly recover ……”
Regrettably stating that there was nothing he could do, the palace doctor left the tent.
“Hey, hey, hey …… in the woods, see, the goddess of hunting …… hey hey hey ……”
“Please come to your senses!”
The woman screamed nervously as she looked at her drooling fiancé. Fidgeting beside her, Marquis Ellen coaxed such a daughter.
“Gloria, baby. Calm down.”
“What’s this all about, Daddy! It’s embarrassing to hold your head up!”
“Gloria ……”
“So why watch that crazy bitch compete in a hunting contest!”
Gloria scratched her blue hair haphazardly, unable to hold back her anger. Count Kailin couldn’t bear it and said to such a daughter, “I’ll never mention that incident again.”
As long as her mouth was glued shut, she couldn’t say anything.
“Hey, hey, hey, goddess! Goddess ……”
Meanwhile, Marquis Ellen’s nephew was drooling and saying crazy things.
A man entered Baron Toulet’s tent.
“Marquis, are you here?”
“Sit down.”
Ellen looked at the two men who stood up to greet him, smiled, and said.
“Miss is also here, just in time.”
“It’s noisy outside, what is it.”
“Duchess Eckhardt has returned.”
Hearing the Marquis’ words, Miss Kelin suddenly stood up and cried out.
“Where is she now?”
“She was urgently arrested and is now being escorted to prison. God help us!”
Miss Kaelin sprang to her feet at the Marquis’ words.
“The most important thing now is the testimony of the young lady; can you do it well?”
“Yes, of course! I’m not the only one at the tea party!”
Miss Kailin, trembling with anger, nodded her head. Hostility erupted like a flame at the thought of what had happened at the tea party.
“I’m sure Miss.”
“You don’t mind if Eckhardt will show defiance, do you, Marquis? Besides, what will happen when His Royal Highness recovers his spirit?”
Count Kailin’s expression was very worried. Because Eckhardt was not an easy opponent to deal with.
“Don’t worry, there’s no evidence, and the only witness and the Crown Prince are wandering in desperation.”
But Marquis Ellen revealed a heartfelt smile and patted Count Kelin’s shoulder.
“Besides, His Majesty the Emperor is not in the capital. We can still send over killings and go out to those unlikeable Ekhatians.”
This crisis was instead an opportunity. As a solution to the “failed assassination”, all the lies had been made up.
I was going to say that the crown prince who saw the bear’s blood went crazy and attacked the nobles such as Tullet.
Anyway, there was only one crown prince there, and only one nobleman here. Happening in a deep forest with no witnesses, it wasn’t difficult to stick to it one way or the other.
But the sudden appearance of Duchess Eckhardt and the fainted crown prince instead made the situation more favorable.
“Even if the Crown Prince opens his eyes, it will be as difficult to fly as before. Everything will be over before he wakes up.”
Earl Ellen looked into the void, a sinister light shooting out from his eyes.
