"His Highness Francis found out it was a poison and put the notices on the walls to warn the people to be careful because things were so urgent!" The Duke of Miguel, standing next to the Duke of Dudley, said angrily.

Killian retorted loudly, "The people could have been upset and it could have led to a riot. He has been studying the disciplines of kingship since he was a child, but doesn\'t he know even such a basic thing?"

The Duke of Dudley was about to open his mouth to refute what he said, but Killian did not give him any time. "I can\'t raise my face because I\'m ashamed that a man who doesn\'t know this basic thing is a prince. I don\'t know who poisoned the people in the capital yet, but I think this is a conspiracy from those who tried to leave the blame on the Kiellini family. That\'s why they kidnapped the princess again, to make the people think that the Duke of Kiellini harbored the princess as soon as he was found guilty."

"Who the hell did that?" one of the gathered nobles shouted.

Killian deliberately took a look at His Majesty\'s office and turned to Duke Dudley. "Well, who is it? He who dared to do this! The one who tried to kidnap the princess twice!"

"Do you want to say that it\'s me?"

"Do you want to say no?"

"Absolutely not. What kind of slander is on me? No matter who Your Highness is, I can\'t stand you being so obstinate in questioning and pushing me forward."

"What would you do if I told you I had a witness of that time?"

He had to continue to arouse the doubts of the nobles. He had to delay the time of the investigation team\'s departure by as much as possible. He also had to divert attention from those who asked about Julietta\'s whereabouts, leaving room for witnesses.

The knights ordered by Killian had set off a short time ago to meet Lady Raviel, one of Christine\'s maids. They were to escort her here secretly, after telling her to behave in a way that would not be suspicious. Only then would the Duke of Dudley pay attention to finding out who the witness was, without questioning his granddaughter\'s two friends, thinking that the witness was near Killian.

The Duke of Dudley answered Killian\'s question with a smile, as if it could not be. "I have no idea what you\'re talking about. This does not remove the sin of the Kiellini family. It\'s no use trying to frame His Highness Francis, who is innocent."

Killian warned the Duke of Dudley about his relaxed composure, "I\'ll see how far your confidence goes, the Duke. This time, it must be true that you did not do any harm to the princess."

Killian finished and then went into the Emperor\'s office. This was not the time to reveal the sins of Francis and Lady Anais by revealing the daughter of the family of Baron Raviel.

It was enough to arouse people\'s doubts, if there were doubts in the minds of those who thought that she ran away from the crime the Duke of Kiellini had committed.

If the words were spread that way, Marquis Marius would not be able to go down to Tilia. He would be worried that Francis could be found to be involved in the kidnapping of Princess Kiellini, so he would try to solve it. To that end, he mentioned the kidnapping of Princess Kiellini without revealing his witness.

When Killian left many people with questions and entered the Emperor\'s office, Julietta looked up and sneaked around. Aside from the Duke of Kiellini, the four major Dukes, the eight major Marquises, and the nobles in the central positions were divided into factions and talking in whispers.

Moments later, the First Queen entered the hall with her younger sister, Marquise Anais. Marquise Anais was following the First Queen, leaving those who gave their courtesy behind, and suddenly turned around and returned. "Your Excellency Marquis Oswald, how have you been?"

She greeted Oswald, who was standing next to her husband, without turning her eyes to her husband.

"Yes, ma\'am. How have you been?"

"I\'m fine, thank you. By the way, His Highness Killian must have a bad headache because of my husband\'s niece. How did he get involved with such a family and get into this kind of trouble?"

Robert became angry at Ivana\'s behavior of clicking her tongue and shaking her head.

"Ivana!"

Ivanna carried on with no regard for the cry from her husband. "I heard you don\'t know where the princess is. She was also quite fast. How did she know about this before she hid herself? Ah! I heard that a humble theater owner named Maribel Grayson is coming in and out of the Kiellini mansion, and I think we should investigate her."

"Maribel Grayson?"

When Oswald asked back as if he didn\'t know why, Ivana made a mockery of it. "Maybe you don\'t know her that well. She\'s very good at hiding people. If she\'s hiding the princess, no one really can find her. So I\'m going to advise they call her and investigate right away."

Ivana made a spiteful smile and then mumbled, passing Oswald and her husband. "Of course, I\'m not included in \'no one.\'"

Her words were not heard by Oswald and Robert, but by the ears of Julietta who stood motionless at the end of the party. Julietta looked at the back of Mrs. Anais passing by.

\'If Maribel had hidden someone, no one would have found her, but she said she was an exception. What does that mean? Does she think Maribel hid Princess Kiellini? By the way, why does she think Maribel hid her? Why did she come to that conclusion? And why does she say she can find out what no one else can find? She spoke it with great confidence...\'

With some uneasiness, Julietta kept looking at the back of Mrs. Anais, who was approaching the Duke of Dudley.

After quite a long time, the Emperor\'s office door opened. When the Emperor came out after a cry from the Grand Chamberlain, everyone bent their knees and raised their courtesies.

"I\'m sure you\'ve all seen the notices on the wall on the streets in the capital today."

The Emperor looked back at the assembled nobles, and finally at the Duke of Dudley. "Prince Francis has known and proved to be true that the \'Blue Blood Disease\' epidemic, is actually a poison of the Kiellini family."

The Duke of Dudley stepped forward from among the roaring people. "Your Majesty, we can never forgive the Kiellini family for causing such a disturbance. Innocent people have died. We should never let them go, even though the Duke of Kiellini killed himself. It\'s especially strange that Princess Kiellini has disappeared. Duke Kiellini must have found out that he had been caught, harbored the princess, and committed suicide."

At his words, his aides around him agreed with him, and supported the punishment to the Kiellini family.

"Your Majesty, there is no reason that the Duke of Kiellini did such a thing. This is too weird. I think we should not jump to a conclusion and investigate thoroughly," the Duke of Martin opposed Duke Dudley\'s words.

"That\'s right, Your Majesty. Princess Kiellini was engaged to Prince Killian, and the Duke of Kiellini couldn\'t feel the lack of anything. So there was no need for him to do such a thing. I think someone designed this to slander the Duke." The Duke of Haint came forward and put forth his opinion.

"What do you say with slander? It\'s obvious that the Duke of Kiellini is trying to establish his son-in-law\'s position. The people\'s distrust of Prince Killian, who has deceived them so far, was great. In order to remove such distrust, he must have spread the poison as if it were an infectious disease, and then released the antidote. He must have used his brain to gain prestige!" the Duke of Miguel put forth with confidence.

"Duke Miguel, you speak as if you\'ve seen him do it. If it turns out to be untrue, you\'re prepared to give up your position as a Duke, right?"

At Killian\'s cold scolding, the Duke of Miguel glanced sideways. The head of Duke Dudley was with a firm face nodded once without looking at him. At the show of support, the Duke of Miguel spoke up again.
