Vol. 5 Finding The Missing Tyrant Chapter 13

It was the moment I was embarrassed by Adrian’s refusal to let me go.

“I expected to hear something interesting, but look what I found instead.”

Someone emerged from the bottom of the stairs.

“What a dreadful sight.”

Shannon emerged from the shadows behind the pillar.

“Don’t you have any pride?”

Shannon, arms crossed, looked at Adrian with a pathetic expression on her face.

It was my first time seeing the two standing next to each other.

Maybe because they were twins, they were like a prince and a princess.

They both grow to be quite tall.

Shannon has dark blond hair that is close to brown, and Adrian, close to me, has bright blond hair that is close to silver.

“How come you’re so clingy when she’s said she hates you? I’m sick and tired of how you act.”

Adrian didn’t seem to get along with Shannon.

Adrian said, looking down at Shannon with indifferent eyes.

“Shut up.”

“You shut up.”

Shannon, who just talks rudely to everyone except Camilla, was no exception to Adrian.

“Just because your mouth is open does not mean you can say whatever you want. Just go wash your feet and sleep.”

Shannon said sternly as she looked at me, still being held by Adrian.

“Why do you stand there like an idiot? You used to spit in his face back then.”

Spit on his face……?

‘Selina did that!?’

But I heard they were close enough to kiss each other when they were younger! Didn’t Adrian say that before?

With puzzled eyes, I looked at his side profile.

Adrian seemed perplexed as to whether he had lied to me.

Oh my goodness. Selina, did you really spit in his face?

‘She must have really hate his personality to do that!’

Shannon, who saw my confusion and pulled my arm hard.

“Ah……!”

I escaped Adrian’s arms by a hair’s breadth, rotting like a doll in a rough touch.

My poor arm.

You only have an injury because you are being held in the hands of inept twins.

Shannon, who clicked her tongue with a ‘tsk tsk,’ immediately took his gaze away from Adrian, as if her intention had always been me.

“Look after Lord Crawford.”

Shannon was looking after Cedric on Camilla’s orders.

“U-u-uncle?”

“Yeah. Go right ahead.”

I nodded and quickly grabbed my skirt, brushing past Shannon in case Adrian followed me again.

Shannon and Adrian’s low words could be heard from behind me.

“You’re a crazy jerk.”

“Get out of my way!”

It was obvious that the two were siblings who shared blood.

Cedric looked pitifully pale. He wasn’t feeling well, but it wasn’t because of the poison.

“I’d be in the coffin by now if it hadn’t been for the antidote you gave me, Selina.”

After hearing the entire story from Franz, he had no doubt that Camilla had attempted to poison herself through the use of her servant.

“I might never be able to open my eyes again without knowing why I died.”

The sense of betrayal he felt towards Camilla seemed quite great.

“You were correct in everything you said. Selina.”

Cedric moved his stiff lips as he stared at the blank white wall.

“I was naive. ”

I’m sorry, but you’ve been naive all along.

“I didn’t think a poor woman would dare to commit such a heinous crime.”

‘Well, she could do a lot worse.’

I can’t believe he’s so taken aback by just one poisoning attempt.

He’d pass out if he realized the antidote I gave him was poison.

“Did you eat anything for breakfast?”

“I drank only water. I assumed my headache and nausea were the result of too much drinking.”

“But the symptoms would not have been the same as a simple hangover……”

“Right, it wasn’t the typical hangover.”

It had to have been a pretty awful hangover.

I told Penny to change all of the alcohol in his bedroom to high alcohol content.

“As soon as I drank the water, my head began to spin, and I felt as if I had been thrown into an oak barrel and rolled.”

Cedric shuddered, as if it was repulsive to think about it again.

I nodded solemnly.

“Then the problem must have been the water in your bedroom.”

The water in Cedric’s bedroom was left by one of the maids.

In this County Castle, not only the maids but all the employees are worked under Camilla’s control.\s”The high priest said the same thing.”

Cedric, of course, had no doubts about Franz and me.

We had no reason to hurt him, and Cedric never seemed to suspect the priest was lying.

“I’m going to file a trial at the temple the next day.”
