Hakai no Miko

Chapter 84 Poisoning

Marco thought so.

The Royal Palace's kitchen, where many of its subordinates and guests (Hinkaku) must be entertained at a banquet, is spacious enough for many cooks to cook a large number of dishes.A kitchen dedicated to Marco, deliberately partitioned in the corner of its spacious kitchen.Marco, who was cooking there to prepare the king's pale horse meal, shrugged his neck.

Somehow, I can still feel people's gaze today.When I was carving vegetables, checking the fire in Kamado, looking at the pot, I felt my gaze and raised my face, and there was a certain elf girl, and I looked at her.But it also quickly turned his face away.

And Marco thought, "It's like old times."

When I was still a pale horse cook, I met the elf girls as well as I do now.Recently, this kind of thing has disappeared, so Marco, somehow in a nostalgic mood, started cooking while singing a nose song.

"All right! I got it!"

Marco was delighted to have finished cooking.

It's a pale horse that always delights me honestly with its delicious food.This would certainly please you again today.

Marco, who wanted to be eaten as soon as possible, tried to carry the freshly cooked food onto a large metal basin.

However, I reached out to the basin where the dishes had just been served.

"I'll take it."

It was one of the elf girls working in the kitchen who had the basin without saying so.

Marko makes his eyes twitch.

Recently, it was Marco's job to bring food to the pale horse because Marco always refused to let others take the trouble.I rushed to say that I would carry it, but the elf lady with the basin walked away.

On the contrary, one day another elf girl behind her called out as if she was rushing herself.

"Come on, Marco. Let's go see His Majesty Soma."

Marco was perplexed about what happened, but soon after thinking about the cause, he was sent to the office where the blue horse waited so that he could be chased away.

An elf lady standing in front of the office tells the inner room that meals and Marco are coming, and Eladia's voice returns, allowing her to enter.

And as he stepped into the office, Marco suddenly noticed a strange atmosphere floating in the room.

The calm office atmosphere, which usually represents the elegance of the pale horse of the owner of the room, is surrounded by a tingling sense of tension.An excessive number of elf girls lined up by the wall, releasing a sense of oppression that narrowed the large office.And among them is Eladia, the chief of staff, who is releasing a strong sense of oppression.Though his face smiled as gently as usual, his eyes shined like a demon that made even dull Marco feel cold on his spine.

"Oh, it's time for dinner.This is the end of the day. "

Among them, the pale horse stretched out on the chair and raised his voice casually in an unusual manner.

"I'll eat soon. Bring it here."

Shem, standing beside a pale horse that cleaned up the documents that were spread out on the desk, opened his mouth as usual.

"Soma, as a royal prerogative, I'll keep my mouth shut about your meal."

And Marco was surprised.

The pale horse is a Shem who calls himself half of himself.Of course, we always had dinner together, and Marco and the cooks for her were made together.If Chem likes the dishes, he can still use his royal prerogatives to take them off the pale horse's plate during the meal.

But all of a sudden, there was nothing like Shem eating first instead of a pale horse.

Shem insists on the rights of the royal prince with his hair slightly upside-down, but the blue horse doesn't notice?

"Is Shem so hungry?Why don't we eat together as usual?--Bring it quickly.

The last words were addressed to an elf lady who would not move with her cooking forever.

The elf girl who was urged to bring the food quickly stood up to Eladia with a troubled face.Then Eladia begged the pale horse.

"I'm afraid, Your Majesty."

"It's okay. Bring it quickly."

I can only break the attitude of the blue horse who wears it in his own words.I nodded to the cooking elf lady and allowed her to carry it.

At last, the pale horse narrowed his eyes to the food brought before his eyes.

"Yes, it looks delicious today.- Well then, I'll take it. "

The pale horse bowed small with his hands together before eating the food.

All she had to say was that she would get hungry, and Shem sat straight on the floor and ate the same dish as a pale horse.But before that, he took a wooden sword from his waist, and left it on the floor in front of him.

Obviously, it is an expression of a strong will to reward yourself once and for all before you breathe.

With this much, Marco could understand the situation as well.

My brother gave me the poison, and it's leaking.

Marco was about to lose consciousness.Just standing there makes your head wobble and your heart starts beating so hard that it's about to pop out of your throat.

But nobody cared about Marco just now.

Elf girls, including Eladia, stare at the pale horses eating their meals, saying they shouldn't miss a slight anomaly.And if there was any abnormality, I was ready to respond immediately.

In the office, where such tingling and burning tension dominated, only the sound of the pale horses and the dishes standing on the chem were making a loud noise.

"Thank you for dinner."

After a time when Marco seemed eternal, the pale horse, who had finished his cooking, bowed in small hands as usual.Then Marco said to the pale horse with a smile, "It was delicious."

"Why did you eat it?"

It was a hard, thirsty voice that Marco couldn't imagine.And the pale horse strangely scooped his neck and asked the other way around.

"Why?"

"After all, I've been given this poison by my brother...."

To Marco, who answered all the questions, the pale horse smiled bitterly.

"After all, just leaving a little cooking behind makes Marco so angry.Marco can't ruin the cooking herself. "

The blue horse promised.

As soon as I heard that, Marco's knee fell cheeky.When Marco put his hands on the floor, he couldn't help but cry.With tears, Marco keeps repeating "I'm sorry."

As Eladia approached Marco, she put her hand lightly on Marco's shoulder, which swayed whenever she snapped.And with a gentle voice, "Will you tell me everything?"he said.

Marco shook his neck many times and told him everything.

I recently reunited with my brother in King's Landing.Since then, I have met many times.Today, my brother gave me the poison.I was told to put it on the pale horse's meal.And hiding the poison under the bedding in his room.

Having finished listening to Marco's story, Eladia first ordered the elf lady to pick up what seemed to be the poison passed to Casio from under Marco's bedroom bunk.Soon the elf lady brought a tightly packed package.Eladia carefully handled the packaging and removed the small bag from the inside.

Then, slightly powder the small pieces of meat that had been prepared in advance and give them to the dog that had been brought in.Then, almost immediately after I swallowed the pieces of meat, I thought that the dog had burst out violently, and suddenly the thread suddenly cut off and stopped moving.

"There is no such thing as lateness.It is fast acting and extremely powerful poison. "

Eladia confirmed that she had died with her hands on the neck of a dog that had stopped moving.

Marco once again shivered at the horror of seeing what he had brought.

After ordering the disposal of the poison and the corpse of the dog, Eladia bowed to the pale horse.

"Your Majesty, I have already surrounded the tavern where Marco's brother Cassio is staying.With your permission, I will immediately take Cassio into custody. "

Even I have completely forgotten, but Marco is originally a detective sent from the country of Hormea.Still, Eladia had no doubt that Marco himself was innocent of Erdoğan and the Blue Horse.

However, its background, its simple spirit, which does not doubt others, and its position as a chef of the pale horse are just the right targets from those who seek to approach the country of Erdoğan and the pale horse unintentionally from good.

That's why Eladia used to let Marco go, while putting a full network of guards around her.

It was also thanks to this that I learned immediately that Marco had been given the poison by his brother.

The pale horse nodded one by one, permitting the captivity, and continued.

"Marco is my valued cook.I don't want to be important. "

Eladia smiles bitterly.

"Your Majesty, this is already important."

The mere attempt to poison the King is the ultimate punishment.And that fatigue is nothing but a great sin that extends to all relatives.

However, Eladia's bitter smile was positive.

"I just wanted to say that, but if you wanted to kill the king, you didn't get the ultimate sentence."

This is the country of Erdoğ, which promotes equality among all peoples.The blue horse who named the king himself said that he was no different from a civilian, and there was no sin to punish him heavily for destroying him as inviolable as the sin of disrespect that naturally existed in another country.

"Well then, it's just an attempted murder.Those who become Cassios will only be misled.If you honestly plead guilty and give a washed-up statement, I know there's room for discretion. "

Aoi smiled at Eladia, saying, "Please."

The air in the office, which was stuck in the generous treatment of this pale horse, also loosened, and everything was solved.

But it was quick to think so.

Less than half an hour later, an elf girl rushed into the office, changing her blood phase.

"Thank you very much, ma'am!"

"I'll make a scene in Your Majesty's presence.What the hell happened? "

Asked by Eladia with her slender eyebrows slightly frowned, the girl glanced at Marco with a worrying face when she slightly muffled her words "It's..."

The woman who cut off her gaze from Marco so as to shake off her hesitation tells Eladia clearly.

"Someone poisoned Casio!"
