Chapter 91.
“Your Grace the Duke, this is a court of law.”
He was about to yell out when the Law Minister warned him. The Duke gasped roughly for air and managed to keep his mouth shut.
The mood called for understanding. The youngest daughter, who had been at the throat of the Crown Prince, had suddenly confessed her feelings of “adoration”. Anyone would feel confused.
“I am in love with the Crown Prince.”
My words caused a big storm. The cold meeting place became noisy all of a sudden.
There, I ran into another blue eye that had frozen from the shock. Derrick stared at me with both fists clenched.
The top of his ebony head flickered dangerously. The sight of the aura emanating from him sent chills down my back. It was actually dangerous if it dropped further from 22%. I unknowingly looked at the top of his head when I did.
“Quiet! Everyone behave yourself!”
When, when, the Minister of Justice knocked down the council baton, it didn’t quiet the boisterous field.
“Duchess Eckhardt, please continue.”
“… But not long ago, I met with His Highness.”
I nodded and said as needed. As if I wasn’t like that, speaking ill of others.
“Those who attended the Eve Festival must have known that His Highness and I argued at the banquet.”
“In that case, it looks like I saw it on the night before the hunt.”
A few people who had forgotten seemed to remember and nodded slightly.
“At that time, what I said said that it was…” The important thing was the huge scandal of the crown prince and the public daughter.
I returned to the point in a panic.
“Assassinated the assassin of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”
“Yes.”
“While being chased by the assassins, His Highness was wounded by their attack and was forced by momentum to jump off a cliff.”
In stark contrast to Viscount Gavoy’s statement, the nobles were thrown into confusion and shock. I looked back at the imposing Viscount and asked.
“I clearly didn’t use the stone palace except for the fact that I didn’t use it, but the people who were knocked unconscious by my stone bow didn’t know what was going on.”
“Oh, lying! Well, I’m, of course, a male daughter.”
Viscount Gavoy was puzzlingly puzzled no matter who looked at him. The Marquis of Ellen replied sharply with a stern face
“But isn’t it a little strange according to the words of a male daughter? ”
“What?”
“His Highness is in a state of unexplained lethargy. The palace doctor looked at it and said that the girl’s injuries were minor and that there might be something else going on.”
“Yes. What if it isn’t?” The person who claimed that the Crown Prince and I were lovers heard a cold voice ask back.
“If it’s true that His Highness was attacked by an assassin as the male daughter said, and His Highness was injured, and if he fell from the cliff as a result, then he had to move before the search party could find him.”
“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Princess did not walk near the entrance to the woods the next day. As a result His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fell ill.”
Marquis Ellen was vague in a meaningful tone.
That seems to be a poisoning that you deliberately induced.
There’s something to be guessed about the unfinished afterthought. The Marquis d’Ehren seemed convinced that there was no evidence of foul play.
In fact, there was something to that statement.
If the ancient magical map could not be found and the Crown Prince fell, then the Crown Prince had been unable to escape the cave.
Breathless silence landed in the arena.
“Look, Marquis Ellen!”
The Duke suddenly souped! Slapping the armrest of his chair lightly, he fumed.
“I was just waiting to see what would happen, but you’ve gone a bit too far. You dared to falsely accuse my daughter, and even tried to frame His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”
“I don’t think it’s my daughter’s dictatorial behavior.”
“Geez, why are you so arrogant.”
“You’re too kind, Your Excellency. My suspicions are reasonable.”
Marquis Ellen roared at the infuriating duke. Then he demonstrated at me again
“Duchess Eckhardt, you say. Why has His Highness fainted.”
“Probably from a severe beating.” I replied expressionlessly.
Marquis Ellen is very different from the daytime, I didn’t know he would answer so bluntly.
How could he be sure? It sounds like the poison was used by the male female
“Yeah. If you check the evidence I took from the assassins, you’ll know.”
“What?”
He, who had been maintaining a subdued attitude, suddenly stood up in that instant.
“Is there evidence?”
The male female’s statement was said to be a “fact”, but unlike that, the atmosphere in the arena warmed up. The assassin attacked.
“That’s false! It’s all fake…”
In this case, only The Fake Nanny plays herself and tries to find a way to enlist people.
“Judge. These are the knives used by the assassins in their attempt to murder His Highness the Crown Prince.”
As they opened their mouths to speak, they relaxed and pulled out the single knife inside with their hands. Suddenly there was a light in front of their eyes.
System~Main Quest:Let’s Become Prey for Kim
“Third time. An assassination mission? (Reward:+7% favorability +7% fame for all male protagonists)
[Accept/Refuse]
Seeing the system’s window, I felt a bright light.
7% favorability of all male protagonists.
This is the highest level of reward among the requests made so far.
Automatically accepted as
I accepted it before a second had passed, not only did I receive a generous reward, but it was also very difficult compared to the previous “damn quest”, so there was no reason not to accept it.
At the same time, the words on the square window were reproduced again.

4Count Cailin
I was inwardly surprised at the sudden objective ceremony. Because I knew #1 was the correct answer. Because the tattoo of the follower’s Ellen Hus writer is the same as the one inscribed on the short chart.
But this damn game won’t be that simple to play.
“Princess Eckhardt. Keep talking.”
The judge woke me up. He looked a little tired from trying to seal the mouths of the nobles who were clamoring earlier. It didn’t seem to surprise me that I suddenly stopped in the middle of my speech.
I quickly recalled the look of the short sword in my arms. …A fool who was stupid enough to use a dagger bearing the image of Ellen ∙ Hooker and tucked a piece of decorative gift made of silk thread he wove into an assassination tool.
The middle meaning is light blue. It wasn’t hard to reason out the correct answer.
Number 3!
I picked one quickly. The one who insisted on assassinating the Crown Prince until the end was none other than Karin-sama’s fiancé.
As soon as I saw the new words, I opened my mouth.
“Submit the short knife of the assassin who stabbed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as evidence.”
Justifiably, I took out the single knife that I took out from my arms due to the system window and then stopped.
“Oh, it’s the assassin’s blade. How can you tell?”
“Oh, what?” The tattoo was tilted forward so that the Minister of Justice and the high-ranking nobles sitting in the upper seats could see it clearly.
The Marquis of Ellen opened his mouth.
He said, “If you track down the owner of these blades.”
Picking up the horses, he gently shook the hilt of the single blade. The blue satin trim hanging from the end swayed slightly with my gesture.
“That’s a proud decoration Ms. Kailin made not long ago…geez.”
Mrs. Dorthea, who recognized the silk ribbon, spoke without thinking, inadvertently covering her mouth with both hands in a panic. But it had been perfectly audible.
“Yes, it’s her!”
The Marquis d’Ehren and Mademoiselle Carine sang “Trapped” almost simultaneously, as if they were playing a game.
“This is what the Duchess snatched …… after knocking the surrounding baron and his colleagues unconscious How can you say it’s the assassin’s?”
“I saw the Duchess hunt the bear herself.”
