Chapter 161
Recognized as one of the Five Meritorious Houses and receiving numerous rewards, she was currently enjoying a busy life in the capital. There were rumors that she was looking for someone to become her son-in-law, or that she had political ambitions. Emmett didn’t believe all these words, but it was true that she, who had become one of the most famous people, was busy. It was Emmett who had ordered her to enter the palace, and it seemed she had time to visit in person.
When he went to the reception room, Maya Arendt, looking somewhat haggard, was waiting for Emmett.
"...You look very busy."
"Ah, I’ve been participating in the historical records related to the traitor..."
Recently, the academic and theological circles were quite heated, due to the work of recording the previous Emperor August, who had become a traitor, and Liv Gracia, who received the love of the Supreme God. As a scholar, Maya Arendt seemed to be playing an important role in that work.
"The reason I called you is to request that you investigate a certain poison."
"Poison?"
At those words, Marquis Arendt’s eyes flashed.
"Hmm, once poisons are out in the world, improved versions keep appearing, making investigation complicated... Seeing that you called me directly, it must have affected quite a high-ranking person..."
However, Maya Arendt couldn’t continue speaking after making eye contact with Emmett. She realized who had been affected by this poison.
"Don’t tell me..."
"This matter must be kept secret. You’re aware that your life could be in danger if it’s not, right?"
