“E-even so, you can’t say for certain that I’m the one who did it, can you?”

“I heard there was a dispute between you two over the position of Poison Beauty Officer. If that’s not true, then clarify it now.”

That’s your fault though.

Riser harbored resentment toward Sangwan Baek, who had forcibly appointed her as the Poison Beauty Officer.

“That’s true, but I apologized right there and we resolved it well.”

“After the banquet ended, there’s also testimony that you didn’t return directly to your lodging but wandered around looking for Namgung Yeonhwa’s whereabouts. Isn’t this also true?”

“That’s also… true, but…”

Riser felt wronged.

She had merely recounted what happened, yet suspicious doubts were gradually tightening around her neck.

“I was only worried about Namgung Yeonhwa since she suddenly disappeared!”

“Most decisively, Namgung Yeonhwa, who was hovering between life and death, was muttering ‘D-Dang Ri-seo… I won’t let you get away with this.'”

“She was alive?”

“…”

Sangwan Baek crossed his arms and stared silently at Riser.

No matter what, was that really something to say about someone who had been poisoned?

‘This is bad. There’s absolutely no way out.’

Riser had no choice but to sheepishly crawl down from the roof.

Connection to the weapon, clear motive, lack of alibi, suspicious behavior, and even the victim’s dying message.

Every single clue was pointing to Riser as the culprit.

“But it really wasn’t me.”

“That’s something we’ll find out through investigation. For now, as the most likely suspect, detention is unavoidable. Take her to Noeok!”

“Yes, Palace Lord!”
