Regardless of his true feelings, Pahell had to take a strong stance against Urich this time. Being in the middle of the palace, it was also a matter of Pahell's dignity. He was no longer the impetuous prince and had to always show a dignified image to the nobles.0

"Well, let's save the scolding for now. Here's the guy who killed Phillion. I don't know how he did it with the deer antler powder though."0

Urich dragged Count Kanna to Pahell’s feet.0

"...Count Kanna."0

Pahell looked down at Count Kanna with a complex expression.0

"I-I didn't do it, Your Highness. I swear I am innocent. I often consumed that deer antler powder myself. There's no poison in it. Truly."0

Count Kanna pleaded, prostrating on his blood-stained body. He was afraid that he might lose his title and even life.0

"So, you still have the energy to lie? If it wasn’t the powder, then why would Phillion just die like that? Might as well confess now. This is your last chance to die without pain."0

Count Kanna couldn't fathom Urich's true intention.0

Urich grabbed Count Kanna's hand and lifted it.0

"Haha, you’re still lying! Maybe plucking...0
