I left the Kingdom of Seiran and returned to the royal palace in the Kingdom of Tenar for the first time in two weeks.
The next day, without a break, Gresis-sama went to work at the knight’s building as usual.
From today, he’s going to the forest for a newcomer’s monster subjugation training.
Certainly, I heard the story that a newcomer was decided to join.
As soon as Gresis-sama went to work, the flowers and seeds Ganza had promised from the Kingdom of Seiran arrived.
Immediately, I went to deliver seeds and flowers to Fermes, the gardener in the garden.
“Fermes, the seeds have arrived from the Kingdom of Seiran. Let’s plant it together.”
“Yes, yes. With pleasure.”
When we were talking, the butler Dolph came to the garden.
“Your Highness, His Majesty King Leroy wants you to come to his office.”
“Oh, I’m sorry Fermes, can I start the seeds in the afternoon?”
“No, not at all, it’s okay.”
I promised to plant seeds with Fermes in the afternoon, and in the morning I went to His Majesty King Leroy’s office and reported on Healer.
Around 1 p.m., it was when I prepared to go to the garden again and left the private room.
“Your Highness, the Knights of the Imperial Guard are here to see you.”
The butler, Dolph, came to call me in a hurry.
Imperial knights are knights who directly serve my father-in-law and brother-in-law.
When I went to the entrance with Sanse, the guard, three well-built beastman knights were standing with no expression.
“I am a knight of the imperial guard directly under His Majesty the King, the commander of the group, Stern, and a lion beast. He is Donan, a tiger beastman, and he is Isaac, a Jaguar beastman.”
In other words, you received my father-in-law’s order.
“I’m Lilith, the wife of Prince Gresis. What can I do for you?”
“You are suspected of giving poisonous flowers to His Majesty the King and Their Royal Highnesses Timir and Frair and trying to kill them. Please accompany me to the knight’s building once.”
What poisonous flower?
“Um, I don’t remember it at all.”
“Didn’t you send flowers to His Majesty and His Royal Highnesses today?”
“Yes, I gave them the flowers I received from the Kingdom of Seiran.”
This morning, flowers arrived from the gardener, Ganza.
When I was preparing to distribute it to everyone, an envoy of His Majesty King Leroy came to call me to the office.
Crane and my brothers-in-law were also called to the office of His Majesty King Leroy. I heard that, so I took all the flowers to the office to separate the flowers.
“In the flowers you gave, there was a highly toxic flower called a poisonous flower.”
Stern, the head of the Knights of the Imperial Guard, says.
I was called to the office because His Majesty King Leroy, who received a report from my brothers-in-law about the awakened person (the one who inherited the goddess’s healing power), asked me to demonstrate my prayer, asked Crane to investigate the effect of the flowers, and continue to protect the secret. It was told that we should share information.
In order to have His Majesty King Leroy and Crane see it, I prayed for the flowers I brought with me.
The flowers glowed, so I’m sure it has some effect.
However, it is certain that it does not have the effect of taking lives.
But I can’t talk about it.
“No way, that can’t be true.”
“The royal palace doctor in our country says, so there is no doubt about it. I’ll listen to you, so I’d like you to accompany me to the knight’s building.”
Stern says, with an atmosphere that does not allow you to say yes or no, with a strong tone.
I know that he doesn’t want to believe me to the end.
“I understand.”
“I will also accompany you with the Princess.”
Sanse, the escort, offered.
“I’ll allow it if it’s up to the knight’s building. Then, let’s go.”
Dolph and the chamberlains looked worried, so I smiled to reassure them.
“If I explain it, I’m sure they’ll understand. There’s nothing to be guilty of. Can you believe me and wait for me?”
“Of course.”
Starting with Dolph, everyone nodded firmly.
In front of me is Stern, the head of the Knights of the Imperial Guard, and Donan and Isaac on both sides. Sanse is in the back.
Is the royal palace doctor that Stern talks about Crane?
But if Crane knew something, I feel like he would be the first to tell me. . .
However, if it is a priority, it will be His Majesty King Leroy before me. It’s not strange to report it first.
Is it possible that only a part of the prayer flower becomes a poisonous flower? I don’t know.
The knight of the imperial guard of His Majesty King Leroy moves. It can be said that it is the will of His Majesty King Leroy.
I can’t believe that my father-in-law, who cared about me so much, doubted me. I don’t want to believe it.
I came to the knight’s wing with my head confused.
“Mr. Sanse, go back to the department and wait.”
“. . . Understood.”
Stern ordered him, and Sanse reluctantly leaves me.
The interior of the knight’s building has a corridor divided in three directions.
I always walk down the corridor on the right and go to the specialized building of the Royal Monster Subjugation Unit where Gresis-sama is.
But today is the opposite of what I always do. We walk in the corridor on the left.
Certainly, today, Gresis-sama went to the forest for a newcomer’s monster subjugation training. He said.
If we could meet at a glance. . . I thought so, but he may not have returned to the knight’s building yet.
I was taken to a dark and small room.
In the center, there is a small table and only two chairs so that you can sit face to face.
There was also a small desk and a chair in the corner of the room.
“Please sit here.”
At the urging of Stern, I sat on a chair at the center table.
Stern sat across from me, Isaac stood in front of the door, and Donan sat down facing the desk in the corner of the room and turning his back to us.
Stern stares at me.
I also didn’t look away, I looked straight into Stern’s eyes.
“I’ll ask you directly. Did you try to kill His Majesty the King and Their Royal Highnesses?”
“Absolutely not. All the flowers I gave them are used as tea.”
All the flowers blooming in my garden were limited to tea and varieties that can be enjoyed as food. So I can say it all.
“Even if it is ineffective for humans, it may only be poisonous to beastmen. Didn’t you know that?”
Certainly, I learned the fact that the flower of the country with a beauty effect that I gave to His Majesty King Leroy before is called “love flower” here.
“I knew about the difference in effect, so I asked Prince Timir to confirm it in my homeland, and there is no problem with everything. He confirmed it.”
Timir-oniisama was knowledgeable and knew a lot about the flowers in my garden.
While staying in my country, I put flowers in tea and had them taste it, and it was well received.
“Did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already say that?”
“Yes, His Royal Highness Frair as well. You can check it.”
Stern appeared a little thoughtful.
“But it’s just that kind. Didn’t someone from the Kingdom of Seiran deliberately mix up the flowers that you didn’t use?”
“It’s impossible. I planted the flowers that arrived with my gardener, so I know everything.”
Dang! And Stern hit the desk.
“Don’t be silly. There’s no way a princess would work in the garden.”
That’s usually the case.
“I do it. I promised to plant seeds with the gardener Fermes this afternoon. I’ve broken my promise, but if you don’t believe it, you can check with Fermes.”
When I looked straight into his eyes, Stern stood up vigorously.
“I will confirm what the Princess has to say. Until then, you’re a suspect. I won’t return you to the mansion. Guide her to another room.”
Stern instructed Isaac, who was standing in front of the door, and left the room.
Well that came out of nowhere.
