"Mother, getting angry doesn't solve the problem. Calm down."

Francis was briefed on the Emperor's announcement after leaving the engagement ceremony, and had destroyed his office with anger. After throwing office supplies and furniture and shouting frantically for a while, he finally began to take anger out on the attendants by hitting them.

Marquis Marius opened his mouth to stop the angry lord. If his servants died at a critical time, they would be in trouble. "Your Highness, have you forgotten our plan?"

The office, which was noisy with the cries of Francis and the sickening voices of his servants, became silent at the words of Marius's calm words.

"Plan?"

When Francis stopped acting, Marius beckoned the attendants in the prince's office to step aside. As the tide ebbed, the attendants quickly disappeared and there were only two left in the office. Marius looked back at the Prince.

"Yes, Your Highness. What's the point of a man's lineage if he's going to die anyway? Let him have a sweet dream before he dies."

Francis was kicking his servant, and stopped at the words of Marius. He hesitated for a moment, looking down at his crouching and trembling servant, and lowered his foot reluctantly.

"Yes, we have the poison of the Kiellini family. The Marquis, you're right. What's so important about the bloodline of the dead anyway? When is the poison completed?"

Francis went to the sofa, combing his disheveled head and throwing off his torn jacket.

"It'll be finished in a couple of days."

The butler from the Kiellini family was sent to the Diaby territory where Francis had enjoyed his pleasures, confined to the a.s.signed workroom and eager to manufacture the poison. When Marius was told that he was about to finish, he sent a man to infiltrate the place he had prepared.

"The poison will start at a famous restaurant in Bertino. There is no better place to spread more quickly than a large restaurant frequented by people.

"Why from Bertino? Wouldn't it take a long time for it to spread to the capital?" Francis frowned as if he were displeased with that.

"The unfortunate plague in Bertino will quickly spread to Dublin in Austern through the restored Magic Square, because they couldn't follow the guidelines that they should be aware of. At the outbreak of the Infectious disease, they should try to isolate the sick and keep them from spreading. People will begin to resent Prince Killian and the Second Queen from Bertino. They managed to repair the long-broken Magic Square, but the epidemic was spread, and they will think that it's because Prince Killian is unlucky. The rumor of the cursed Prince will soon spread if only a few people stir it up."

Francis smiled at the words of Marquis Marius. "The Marquis, it's perfect. But how are you going to release the poison in Bertino's restaurant? It's not going to be easy, because it's Killian's territory."

"The family who owns the shop that supplies food to Bertino restaurants is the Baden.

"Baden?"

"Yes, the Baden Territory which faces the territory of the Kiellini family is a granary where the climate and natural characteristics are just as good as Tilia Territory. Bertino has more mines than farmland, so it brings in a lot of grain from Austern. They usually use Baden Territory, which is close to Bertino Territory."

"The restaurant you're aiming for must be using the shop in Baden."

"That's right, Your Highness. They receive food supplies once a week, and it's just four days from now. We'll mix the poison into the grain powder. Of course, if everyone in the restaurant dies, it could be suspicious, so we're going to mix it in about two out of ten bags.

"That's great. How did you persuade Count Baden? You've done a good job of keeping the secret not leaking out, haven't you?"

"Count Baden wants to be a central n.o.bleman. I offered to give Lady Baden the seat of the Queen when Your Highness ascended to the throne. Furthermore, the Count has a grudge against Prince Killian personally."

It was no secret that Count Baden was disgraced while trying to attach his daughter to Prince Killian. It was not difficult to persuade Count Baden, who was grinding his teeth.

Of course, he did not say much about the poison. He only said that he needed his help and that he should leave the shop to him for a while.

So while Marius was soothing Francis, there was a call from the First Queen and the Duke of Dudley after they came out of the party. Francis, who had been called to the First Queen's palace continued to speak to his trembling mother, "I'll make sure you're seated in the place of the Empress, so please don't be so anxious. The main line of descent is not important if he dies."

At Francis's words, the First Queen's eyes opened wide. "You idiot. I haven't even waited for it to be done when we kill him. We're going to be in doubt right now. Did you forget that the Emperor's anger was directed at us when the Empress died? If the Duke of Kiellini had not gathered the aristocracy's opinion that it was unjust suspicion, we do not know what would have happened."

The First Queen still didn't understand what had happened in the Congress then. It was unclear why the Duke of Kiellini, who was so close to the Emperor, sided with them. She looked at her father, Duke Dudley, who was seated there with a stiff expression. 'What happened between Duke Kiellini and my father?' Anyway, that was not what mattered now.
