Chapter 89

“….”

When Evelyn urged Glenn, Glenn stared at the tray with a rigid expression.

An ominous sensation struck his mind.

The twenty missing sacks.

The pie that had strangely boasted a golden color.

“Did you dare feed me poison?”

Glenn, having finished his assessment, looked at Evelyn with a murderous expression.

“That’s right. To be precise, it’s poison made by His Majesty.”

Evelyn readily admitted it while lifting the silver tray.

Then yellow granules revealed themselves, displaying an eerie color.

“Kek!”

As soon as he grasped the situation, Glenn thrust his right hand into his mouth.

To vomit up the pie, he gripped his throat with his left hand and repeatedly attempted to retch.

However, unlike the saliva dripping down, strangely no food came out.

“I added a special drug to His Majesty’s food in preparation for this case. Don’t worry, it only temporarily paralyzes the esophagus and stomach.”

“How dare you! Head Servant! Kill this wench immediately-“

Glenn tried to call his subordinates in fury, but he couldn’t finish his words.

Crash!

Because a tremendous roar suddenly erupted.

The chandelier that had been displaying brilliant light from the ceiling crashed to the floor.

At the same time, yellow granules poured down from the air like hail.

“Caw!”

Thanks to the empty stage hall, there were no casualties, but the nobles fainted one by one from shock.

Glenn, who had been retching, stopped his actions at the sudden noise and turned his head to witness the entire spectacle.

As Glenn’s eyes filled with confusion, Evelyn called to the Emperor and asked in a whisper.

“Your Majesty, aren’t you curious about why this happened?”

* * *

Two hours before the Emperor consumed the poison.

“Urk!”

“Mmph!”

Secret movements were detected in the backyard of Count Heteus’ Villa.

Count Heteus’ accomplices, who had been waiting for Evelyn’s orders, broke through House of Count Heteus’s perimeter and infiltrated as soon as they heard the signal.

The accomplices who easily subdued the gatekeepers unfolded the blueprint Evelyn had drawn and exchanged words.

“Our current location is the Basement 2 Aging Cellar. Before going to Palace Hall, we need to work on the sacks we brought and then naturally enter the banquet hall.”

“Then, let’s have some disguise as maids, some as musicians, and the rest as attendants doing odd jobs. What about Pupu?”

The slime, who had been looking at the blueprint with a serious expression among the accomplices, clicked its tongue with a displeased expression at the sudden attention.

“Are you all idiots? Obviously Pupu should be Bel’s close maid!”

“Which one will you be? There are two of them.”

According to the information the accomplices had obtained, Evelyn’s close maids were Mary and Rose. Two of them.

“When I went to see Bel last time, I saw the maids and the one who looked like a poodle was really awful. So Pupu will be the timid maid.”

When Pupu chose Mary, the accomplices nodded and immediately began taking action as soon as they decided their roles.

“Caw!”

“Sorry. Please sleep for a moment.”

When Mary, who had been working in the kitchen, came out to the corridor, one of the accomplices quickly knocked her unconscious.

After laying Mary down in a safe place, she carefully plucked a strand of hair and wrapped it around a magic stone before feeding it to Pupu.

Then Pupu transformed into Mary instantly with a ‘pop!’ sound.

While Pupu made various expressions in the mirror to imitate Mary, those disguised as laborers secretly brought one of the sacks from outside the wall under the pretext of doing odd jobs.

“Thanks to the knights’ attention being focused on the banquet hall, security here is loose.”

“Then that’s welcome for us.”

Moving to the grinding room, they untied the sacks to grind the yellow granules.

“Ah, couldn’t we just set fire to the banquet hall and kill them?”

One of the accomplices, who had been finely grinding the granules with her nose and mouth covered with white cloth, burst out in irritation.

She was working hard to carry out her master’s orders, but thought the work’s efficiency was poor.

“Stop it. If we set a fire, it’s obvious the Emperor would escape first with the knights leading the way. Even if we directly thrust a sword at him, is there any guarantee the Emperor would die?”

At her colleague’s grumbling, another accomplice mixed flour with the yellow granules that had turned to powder and told her to calm down.

“What our master wants is for the Emperor to realize what he’s done. Of course, he won’t repent for his sins, but at least he’ll recognize how dangerous what he’s done is.”

Considering his past deeds, the Emperor shouldn’t die easily.

Under the reason that he must live as a noble being, he had taken the lives of innocent people and trampled on others carelessly.

Therefore, Evelyn must have given such orders with the intention of slowly bleeding the Emperor to death.

“Damn, you’re right.”

The woman who had raised the question agreed with her colleague’s words and put the finely ground powder in a pouch, while placing the remaining half of the yellow granules in a box meant for musical instruments.

“I-is this it?”

As the work was completed, Pupu, who had transformed into Mary, asked them with a dejected expression.

“Right. No, yes. That’s correct.”

“Yes! I, I’ll take this with me!”

Pupu, who had somehow adapted to Mary’s way of speaking, cried out timidly and grabbed the powder and pouch before rushing out of the grinding room.

“Ugh, that’s strange. Pupu, who used to threaten with fierce words, is so timid now.”

“Totally agree. It was much better when he acted rudely.”

Watching Pupu’s retreating figure, they shivered and left the basement to carry out their remaining mission.

“I’ll go in first.”

“See you later.”

The loyal servants in charge of the band naturally entered Palace Hall carrying string instruments.

Those assigned as attendants also entered inside carrying luggage one by one, following the workers doing odd jobs at the entrance.

“Let’s go too.”

“Alright.”

The remaining loyal servants, confirming their colleagues had safely entered the hall, headed toward the rear entrance dressed as maids.

“Wait. What’s your business?”

“We came on the Chef’s orders. He said there are unwashed dishes piled up in the hall, so we should clean up inside the banquet hall.”

“Hmm. The Chef said that? But you’re not familiar faces.”

As the gatekeeper stroked his beard suspiciously, one of the loyal servants disguised as a kitchen maid stepped forward and answered calmly.

“We originally worked in the laundry room, but were urgently assigned because the kitchen was short-staffed. If it’s difficult, could you do it instead…”

“Go ahead quickly.”

As the gatekeeper cleared the way, they hurriedly bowed their heads and entered inside.

“Everyone move quickly!”

“The steaks need to go out within 10 minutes!”

Unlike the front entrance bustling with nobles, the rear entrance space was crowded with Count Heteus’s Estate servants.

The Head Chef was barking orders to wash dishes clean and commanding them to arrange food neatly.

They naturally followed the servants, tactfully helping with work before entering the banquet hall.

“Beef steak made from sirloin with mashed potato puree, asparagus, and tomatoes. The sauce is made by reducing red wine.”

“This is red wine made by mixing Cabernet with Merlot.”

The loyal servants who went out to serve carrying plates leisurely walked around the hall.

Moving in designated positions with specified identities, they eventually spotted Evelyn and subtly moved toward her direction.

“Would you like a glass of red wine?”

A loyal servant holding wine approached Evelyn and spoke to her, while the others maintained appropriate distance and kept one ear open.

“That sounds good. I should enjoy it slowly since I have time.”

Evelyn took the glass and answered nonchalantly while slipping a note into the loyal servant’s hand.

The loyal servant who received the note maintained a calm expression while urgently checking its contents away from people’s eyes.

【When sweet fragrance swirls and strings cry out in anguish. In that gap, plant yellow seeds in the designated places. Meanwhile, long darkness will seek the sun. When the sun sets, detonate the planted seeds.】

“It begins when Pupu appears.”

The loyal servant who deciphered the code conveyed the contents to his colleagues and waited for the moment.

Fortunately, it wasn’t long before Pupu appeared carrying a silver tray.

As a sweet smell brushed past their noses, the string instruments that had been playing soft melodies suddenly creaked and plucked out notes one by one.

The loyal servants secretly dealt with the Emperor’s retainers and then secured pouches containing yellow particles to the upper parts of the tall columns.

Originally, they should have installed the yellow particles on the chandelier crystals, but they had to change plans because Casian had noticed their scheme a few days ago.

Having finally installed tracks connected by strings so only the particles would scatter, they turned their gaze toward where the Emperor was.

“This is alligator pie.”

Evelyn, who had received the pie from Pupu, appeared before the Emperor and placed the dessert down.

Glenn, who had been looking at Evelyn with suspicious eyes, recommended she taste it first, then ate the pie after a few words.

Not knowing that Evelyn, who had suffered from poisoning threats for a long time, had developed resistance to poison, he naturally felt reassured.

After 5 minutes passed, the Emperor clutched his throat and rolled on the floor, just as Evelyn had expected.

At that moment.

‘Begin.’

Evelyn gave the signal.

‘Drop the chandelier onto the empty stage hall!’

‘Activate the trap and pour out all the yellow particles!’

The loyal servants exchanged hand signals and executed the operation.

Then, with a ‘CRASH!’ sound, chaos descended upon the banquet hall.

“Caaaw!”
