「Now, drink it in one gulp」
The Earl maintained a smile on his face, but he was sweating bullets, and wouldn’t bring the glass to his lips.
「What’s wrong, Earl. Aren’t you going to drink it?」
「Ha, no, um……!」
At the King’s words, the Earl looked around restlessly, the hand that held the glass began to tremble. Oops we can’t have the glass fall.
「……Are you able to drink? Well it may be presumptuous of me but allow me to help you」
「Ha!? Mugu! Ukue!?」
I forcibly placed the glass up to the Earl’s mouth and poured the wine into it. While choking on the wine, regardless of how much he struggled he drank it, which was a fact that was terrifying.
「U! Ua! Uaa! Sa- save me please! The poison! The poison is flowing! I’ll die! I’ll diiiiiiiiiie!」
Holding his through the toad writhed and twisted on the floor. With a tortured expression flapped his arms around shaking and rolled around on the floor struggling.
What is it? If a person just believes strongly enough, this kind of thing will happen?
「Guuuu! Ku, it hurts! The poison! The poison!!! Sa- save me……!」
「Ah– cut it out already. The glass I just used, that, was a brand new glass.」
「I’m dying…… what!?」
The Earl’s expression turned blank and he stopped thrashing around. Then got up and rubbed his neck.
「……Nothing happened」
「Well yeah of course not. It was only cheap wine. I apologize for forcing you to drink it. However」
I quietly brought attention to the heart of the matter.
「Why did you think that there was any poison in it?」
The Earl’s face froze. That’s right. This man was the exactly the kind of person who betrayed himself. Frightened of poison that wasn’t there, then writhing from poison that he hadn’t drunk. Someone that didn’t know anything wouldn’t have acted like that. With just that he fell so easily.
「……What do you mean by that?」
The Duke asked me.
「The poison wasn’t in the wine that Olga presented, but rather it was smeared on the King’s glass.」
「On the glass…? Then it’s no wonder that the wine didn’t respond when we tested it for poison.」
「Because I practice a magic that can detect poison, I understood that immediately. The direct perpetrator was either the cook or the waiter in charge, or somewhere around there. After that there was only to find the wire-puller and the true culprit of the event, figuring out how to corner them but…… what a disappointment.」
Well, no matter how you looked at it, the perpetrator was this guy. Unable to make an excuse for himself, is what I thought, but for it to be solved this quickly is what I felt.
It was a common trick (although it’s not really one at all). Even if it wasn’t me someone would have figured it out immediately.
Well, I had always wanted to play the part of the detective, at least once.
The toad ran at full speed toward the door. What a sore loser. In the end, this man didn’t have the ability to look ahead or behind. The so called “I am great!” fool that turns out to be a small fry villain. However, this idiot tried to kill the King, that crime is severe.
「Slip」
「No!」
Sute-n! The Earl fell with a crash and hit the back of his head on the floor.
Right to where was Olga standing, who was still holding a grudge, and exploded a well-placed kick in the stomach, with that he fell unconscious. Oou, that looked like it hurt.
