Chapter 468

Slurp! Is this... Poison?

Mia was about to start eating the main course, which was a hot plate of Sunkland beef tenderloin, when she noticed something.

Wait... I thought I was supposed to gather facts.

She had done nothing of the sort. Ludwig worked hard to give her this chance, and it wouldn’t be smart to waste it. It was time to get down to business. So, she took a ribeye piece and put it in her mouth. Her mouth and nose enjoyed the rich sauce, whose taste and smell were enhanced by the natural moisture of the meat. She enjoyed it, and then she did it again with another piece. When she had eaten about half of the food, she finally stopped looking at it and started looking around.

Esmeralda seems to be doing her part of getting information pretty well. She has a lot of feelings for Prince Echard. I guess I need to look at it from a different point of view.

Someone here must know something important about Sion’s possible murder, and she was going to find out who it was. She finished the other half of her steak and then used a piece of bread to scoop up the rest of the sauce. For cooks, sauces were the pinnacle of their skills, putting all of their knowledge into a single, liquid form. Mia’s way of showing respect was to drink up every last drop.

Anyway, once the food-related issues were settled, she went right after Sion.

“I have to say, Prince Sion, that I’m a little sad that you didn’t tell me anything about this thing between your brother and Esmeralda. I was hoping for a little more candor.”

Sion gave a wry smile. “I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings, but I didn’t know that either. I only just found out about it.”

“My! You didn’t either?”

It seemed like very important information! Mia’s eyes got bigger when she saw a chance... Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

Hold on a second...

Then got smaller again.

“I’m terribly sorry, but I’ll need to be excused for a few moments.”

She quickly made her way out of the dining room with a beautiful curtsy. She quickly got where she was going after getting directions from a maid who was waiting in the hallway.

After she was done and got out of the toilet, a young man walked up to her.

“Princess Mia,”

It was no other than Keithwood, Sion’s attendant.

“My, Keithwood? What’s the matter?”

When she asked what was wrong, he gave her a very serious look. “I thought there was something you should know... But first, have you been able to get in touch with Ludwig?”

Huh? What did he say about Ludwig?

She was about to answer with a confused frown on her face when it hit her. Keithwood thought that she had left instructions for Ludwig what to do. That was good. But her answer was a little tricky. If she tells a clear lie, he might get suspicious. She lied about the real reason, which was that she had eaten herself sick. She didn’t want him to find out the embarrassing truth.

“Oho ho. You know me. I’d never do that,” she said in a way that could be taken to mean almost anything.”

This made him nod.

“Ah. Good enough. We’ll end it there.”

“What did you want to tell me most of all?”

“Yes, about that...” He said it in a secretive whisper, “There’s something you should know about Prince Sion and Prince Echard.”
