One’s Blood (9)
After receiving reports from the shadows, Cecil gave several instructions. And finally, he came back to the bedroom, woke Rowena up, and explained the situation.
So, Rowena knew that someone had set fire to the Count of Adelia’s mansion and tried to kill Theo and Louis.
She just didn’t know that the someone was Matthias yet.
Cecil examined Rowena who was pale and had a therapist report Louis’ condition.
“We treated the lungs damaged by the smoke of the fire, but he had been drugged from the discovery. I did first aid, but I think it would be better to show it to the priest.”
“He had been drugged?”
That meant that there was a conspirator in the count’s house.
Rowena didn’t understand the situation. Since she took the position of the prince’s fiancee, the nobles could seek her life.
But why would they want Theo and Louis’ life? Louis was a child who didn’t know anything yet!
“…Is the high priest still available?”
“It’s…”
One of the shadows glanced at Rowena. Cecil had a hunch that something had happened to the other person, Theo, who he couldn’t bring here.
“You can say it. What happened?”
“The second lord of Adelia was seriously injured after being stabbed by the first lord. He seemed more urgent, so I sent someone to go there.”
It was a story that could be heard in encounters with other shadows while the healer was treating Louis in a carriage. They asked the shadow to pass it on to the crown prince and disappeared again to keep an eye on the Count of Adelia.
Rowena was speechless when faced with the harrowing situation. Louis was poisoned by medicine and lost consciousness, and Theo was stabbed and seriously injured. Even the cause was Matthias?
“…What is Count Adelia doing?”
The shadow answered Cecil’s question.
“He is next to Theo Adelia. Matthias Adelia fled the scene.”
Rowena thought Matthias accidentally stabbed Theo. But the process of Matthias getting there would not have been smooth.
She thought Theo must have pressured Matthias.
No.
Something to do with Louis’ attempted murder.
Matthias instigated Theo and Louis’ murder.
Rowena was astonished at the quick conclusion.
She hated Matthias terribly, but she didn’t think he was a man who would kill his brothers.
“Did you attach a man to Matthias?”
Cecil’s shadow looked at the crown prince instead of answering Rowena’s question. The “shadow” that only direct lineages of the imperial family could inherit followed only the order of the emperor and the crown prince.
When Cecil nodded, the shadow opened his mouth coolly.
“We’re tracking him right now. Lord Adelia couldn’t have done this alone, he has someone behind him”
The fire in the Count of Adelia was due to oil plus magic. Thanks to this, Theo noticed it early and made a fuss, but he couldn’t put out the fire.
Rowena sighed deeply. She had a hunch that at least one of her brothers would not be safe.

“Hoo, hu…”
Matthias ran frantically and looked back. He still couldn’t forget Theo’s scary eyes that were staring at him.
He’s probably dead, right?
To live with such serious injuries, a priest would have to come. It was unlikely that Paul would spend such a large sum of money on Theo.
He set the house on fire so that Paul wouldn’t suspect him of killing two younger brothers, but this happened. If he had known this, he would have put sleeping pills in Theo’s food. If it were, he could have handled it without any mistakes.
But again, Theo was always on edge and careful, so he couldn’t do it. If he thought it was suspicious, Theo won’t even eat the food!
Now Paul is angry, but he is the only man left in the Count of Adelia. It was clear that his father would eventually admit the reality and try to forgive him.
The problem is that several people had seen him stab Theo with a knife.
My father will cover it up for me!
Theo wielded a knife at him first, and he felt his life was in danger. Theo threw away the knife at Paul’s command, but it was definitely self-defense.
Can self-defense really be recognized?
It would be easy for Rowena to coax the crown prince into taking his side, but… The fire was large enough to be known by other noble families around it.
Louis died and he made a fuss, and it didn’t seem to be solved easily.
I have to hurry up with my work…
If he had Rowena in his hand, everything would have worked out smoothly. He’ll use Rowena to hold the crown prince, and he’ll get his hands on the power to shake up this country.
“Ugh…”
The pain in his face revived as he moved desperately in fear. It wasn’t that he wasn’t sick while he was running away, but he had been ignoring it for a while because the situation was urgent.
My eyes…
