Which means, it hasn’t been detected yet. It’s probably that isn’t it? That common trick. It’s something thats not really a trick at all. The fact the wine wasn’t poisoned was exposed right away. How negligent. However, should we confirm it anyway?
「May I be taken to that room? I might be able to find out the ambassador’s innocence」
Although everyone looked at each other, the king gave his permission, and General Leon led me to that room.
The room was a large hall, it had a white brick fireplace; navy blue curtains on the wall that faced the garden; there was something that looked like a picture, high on the wall; on the ceiling was a luxurious, gorgeous chandelier. On the long table was a white table cloth, more over silver candlesticks. The tableware on the food was just as they had left it.
The general brought out the wine that I asked for.
「Is this wine something unusual?」
「I don’t really know but it seems so. From what the ambassador says it’s from a certain village in Misumido, it’s considerably valuable it seems.」
「I see」
Well, shall we confirm it?
「Search: Poison」
The retrieval magic was activated. Looking from the wine, to inside the room, to on top of the table. Yep, it’s there after all. Well, someone would find out eventually but no servant could use retrieval magic like me.
Now, what should we do? We could go accuse them directly, but they might just say that they foresaw everything. If I were to fail it wouldn’t end in being doubted, right?
「I have a general understanding. General, can you call everyone here. Oh, call Earl Balsa as well. I also have a small favor to ask……」
「Favor?」
The general inclined his head in puzzlement while listening to my request. If there is no absolute proof, then we’ll just get them to confess on their own.
Now then, let’s put on a show.
