Chapter 5
Monkshood.
A beautiful ornamental plant with purple flowers. However, in reality, it is a poisonous plant with deadly toxins in its roots. As a result, it has been used in the production of numerous poisons.
In ancient Athens, Greece, possession without permission was punishable by death. In Joseon, it was widely used as a medicinal herb. Its toxicity has even been utilized in modern times.
A representative example…
‘The ‘Monkshood Murder Case’ that occurred in Japan in 1986 comes to mind.’
Anyway, the toxicity of Monkshood has been thoroughly proven throughout history in both the East and the West. There is a good reason why Gardin is now throwing a mad look in Raciel’s direction.
“…Your Majesty?”
“Yes?”
“May I check if you have a fever?”
