"Miss Phoebe, you talked to about painkillers before, if you rember?"
Phoebe replied cautiously, glancing at the Prince, who was looking down at Julietta with an expressionless face. "Yes. I told you that Sophie's painkiller was better for than the usual painkiller made from dureng roots."
Dr. Paulo kept asking nervously at Phoebe's words. "Did the princess take any painkillers this ti?"
"Yes. I gave so to her because she said she had a headache. But she has only taken that painkiller a few tis because it was little left. On the day before her fall, she took the painkiller made from the dureng roots, which was in the mansion," Vera answered quickly.
When Julietta first looked for a painkiller, Vera naturally tried to use the painkiller made of the dureng roots that was in the house. But Manny had scratched a small drawer with Phoebe's belongings. Vera smiled and praised the puppy for cleverly knowing where the painkillers were.
Eventually, she asked permission from Phoebe, who was organizing her clothes in the dressing room, and gave Julietta the painkiller made of the tum stem that Sophie had made. But the dicine was quickly exhausted. Because of the epidemic these days, they couldn't go out to get more because of the ban on going out.
"I see. My thought is right. Your Highness, can you send soone to the dressing shop to get that painkiller?"
Killian looked at Vera, and she agreed quickly and went out. "I think you found sothing. Tell ."
At Killian's urging, the doctor spoke quickly in his excitent, "It weighed on my mind to hear that Miss Phoebe was fine after she drank the poison and then suddenly turned white after she was kidnapped. But I thought this was an opportunity because I had a couple of drops of poison left in the bottle that Marquis Anais gave ."
Dr. Paulo took out a bottle of the size of his finger from the inside pocket of his jacket. "I caught a mouse and I poisoned it bit by bit. I thought it was the commonly used poison of the Pia worm or the poison made of roots of the loha flower. So, I checked a few days later, expecting death from withering or the bursting of small veins, but the hair of the dead mouse turned white."
Dr. Paulo clenched his fists in an excited voice, perhaps recalling the ti. "I wanted to find the antidote. The amount was absolutely lacking. At that mont, I rembered Miss Phoebe's words: she had taken painkillers constantly because of her broken leg. The painkiller wasn't a common one. It was a painkiller hard for the general public to find because it was made from the stems left over while making the actors' makeup."
"Oh, my God! It's unbelievable," Phoebe blurted out in admiration.
Dr. Paulo went on to say, "Today I ca here to ask Ms. Phoebe if I could get any painkillers. It wasn't easy to get, so I made a humble visit to ask for a favor, and I heard that the princess was down."
"So, it isn't dangerous because Julietta's hair color hasn't changed yet?"
Dr. Paulo shook his head at Killian's urgent remarks. "I'm not sure about that. I've heard that the hair of only so people who died from the epidemic in Bertino has turned white. That's why I'm not sure why she collapsed. But since the hair of Ms. Phoebe didn't turn white right after taking the poison, I'd like to assu that it's the sa poison and start treating her."
Dr. Paulo looked back at Phoebe. "What was the condition of the princess before she fell?"
"She said she had a headache. It's been about five days. If she had been seriously ill or had any other symptoms, we would have called the doctor right away, but she said she was just a little bit sick. So, she said she'd feel better soon if I gave her so painkillers, and then she'd get sick again the next evening."
Killian had a sharp question in Phoebe's answer. "Did she say she had a headache every evening?"
"Yes. So, I thought she had a hard ti at the etiquette class. There were a lot of things to learn, so I thought she had a headache." Phoebe showed tears as if she was blaming herself for failing to look more carefully.
"I rember that the Duchess of Kiellini was sick for a long ti."
"Miss Phoebe swallowed the poison and collapsed right away. They can control the concentration or amount of the poison and the length of ti before they collapse. Those who have fallen into the epidemic have different tis from outbreak to death."
"I told Mrs. Raban to watch the Kiellini family closely, but there seems to be a hole."
This was where the Duke of Kiellini had reigned as a master for a long ti. Even if Miss Raban had picked out people, there might have been a spy who had so secret communication with the Duke.
"It ans that there's a rat hidden inside the Kiellini mansion." Killian's voice was bleak. His expression was as fierce as if it was revealed, he'd not let it go.
"Your Highness, Marquis Oswald and Count Adam have arrived."
At Ian's report, Killian kissed Julietta's bloodless forehead and went out to the parlor.
"Your Highness, are you all right?"
Even though they knew the princess had an infectious disease, they ca running straight in with one word from the Prince. They were the loyal n who would give their lives for him. Killian felt sothing hot rising from the depths of his heart.
He rembered one night in Bertino when he was full of anger, but also set his mind to beco the Emperor for those he cared about when he went to see Julietta in prison. The ti had co to put an end to those who were constantly greedy for his things and who were willing to do anything evil without hesitation.
More evidence was needed to prove Francis was behind this, but it didn't matter. Anyway, as they were the ones who he had to get rid of and now that his status had been restored, there was no need to postpone it any longer.
"It has been suggested that the 'Blue Blood Disease' that has now spread in the capital does not seem to be an epidemic."
At the words of Killian, Oswald and Adam's eyes widened. "It isn't an epidemic? Then why the Hell did people fall in groups?"
"I'll explain when everyone gets here. Go and get Miss Raban. But don't bring attendants with her, just bring her alone."
At Killian's order, Phoebe left the parlor. Soon after, Mada Raban arrived, and after her, Maribel and Marquis Anais arrived within a mont's interval.
"Welco."
"Your Highness, I heard that Julietta was down. Perhaps..."
Forgetting the courtesy to the Prince, he looked after his daughter's safety first, and Killian gestured him to sit.
"Hasn't the person who went to get the painkiller arrived yet?"
"Here it is. I have brought it, Your Highness."
When Maribel held out the purse, Killian raised his eyebrows as if asking.
"I was in the dress shop just now. It was probably because of the epidemic, but it was empty. In case I could learn so news of Princess Kiellini, I visited there. Then a knight of His Highness from the Kiellini mansion arrived, and said that he was ordered to get so painkillers. I thought there might be a reason, so I went to the theater and got all the spares."
It was strange that Prince Killian's knight had urgently visited them for painkillers. Sothing must have happened.
Then a person sent to Maribel's house near the dress shop ca to find her. Maribel's thoughts moved quickly at the urgent visit request of the servant dressed in a purple and silver royal uniform, indicating that he belonged to Prince Killian. It was not usual for Prince Killian's man to co to her directly.
Moreover, it had been less than a week since she stepped down from the theater and bought a mansion on the outskirts of the Eloz Street like an ordinary aristocratic woman. Even though she was not a person of high status who could boldly enter the Kiellini mansion, he had called her, ignoring other people's eyes.
Maribel imdiately went to the theater, took all the painkillers, and headed for the Kiellini mansion.
