Chapter 191

Proofreader: ChupaChupa

After pouring out some water from other maids, I asked.

“Take some water, do you want something to eat?”

“…no…no”

She answered in a strained voice. 

And I found she was sweating and breathing fast.

“But…”

“Give me the drugs, the black tawny gems…”

“Gems?”

She tried to explain to me anxiously.

“Yes, I need it, I wanna smoke that! Please! Lady Britney!”

Only at this time, her pupils could twinkle strangely.

(I remember these symptoms…)

“Do you smoke in a tube like this?”

I described the shape of the tube with my body movements and asked.

“Yeah, that’s it! Give me that!”

Marlow couldn’t understand and tilted his head to listen to me.

“Lord Marlow, she is one of those who have taken the drugs. This is what happens when the North Country’s drugs fail.

“Is that it…?”

Having looked at these serious symptoms, Marlow’s light purple pupils slightly turned.

“Maybe, they are already in the Capital.”

I nodded and turned to question the maid. We had to know where she got them.

“Where did you buy them? Those black tawny gems.”

“No matter how you get it,  give me now!”

“I can’t bring them to you, If you don’t tell me where you buy them.”

She believed me and started to confesse everything.

“A man in black gave them to me at the corner of the shop at the end when I was buying things in the marketplace.”

“You bought them from that man for many times?”

“Em, we’ve done some exchanges at the cost of getting me to do things for him…But he disappeared one day. I already did what he wanted me to do! Why!”

I was comforting her.

“What he wanted you to do, please tell us.” Marlow said calmly.

What the maid said surprised us.

Took the man’s partners into the Capital and served for them, then…

“Mix the king’s meal with health pills…”

</aside>

“…!?”

The familiar details stiffened my body and left my mind blank.

(Because…that was done by the Britney in the shoujo manga…)

In the shoujo manga, it was Britney that was cheated and invaded the castle kitchen to add the health pills into King’s meal.

(What to do? Is it because I have avoided punishment so that the maid replaced me?)

I felt terrible because I had got innocent people involved.

“I didn’t think it would become like this! He said the pills were only for health!”

“Actually, it’s poison.”

The maid clasped her head with both hands after Marlow saying that.

“Ahhhhh, what should I do? Gems, give me the gems. I want to forget all these things…!”

The maid must have been out of whack to tell us the truth.

Generally speaking, she must have been silent because of the harsh punishment.

Even if she finally forgot what she had done, her sin would not go away.

But now, she didn’t seem to realize it.

Vika used opium to make people into tools she manipulated.

Actually, it was not surprising that the maid would be killed for sealing her mouth.

Therefore, we were holding them captive so that they couldn’t exchange information to kill her.
