Chapter 246: Tpcp 246
The hallucinogenic drugs were still in Lucerne’s system. He had a brief vision. The dark clouds cast a looming shadow all over the tall tree, making it look completely black, just like a black thorn tree.
‘My head hurts.’
Increasingly, Lucerne noticed the strange situation in the garden.
Under the tallest tree. A tea table was set up there, and the Duke’s servants stood and ran around, scattering like dots. And then he heard someone yelling and screaming.
Elisha was lying next to the table under the tree, bleeding from the corner of her mouth.
“Take the Madam!”
“Hurry and call a doctor!”
Lucerne saw the broken teacup and her collapsed and limp form. Something ruptured inside his head.
The image of his dead mother was superimposed on Elisha. The images before his vision shook his eyes.
Ah, I see.
Lucerne’s heart was lost. Yesterday, he was wondering whether to accept Elisha, trust her, and love her.
After all, possessive ownership was the right thing to do.
Everyone he loved either betrayed him or died. It was the same this time, too.
***
Elisha lost consciousness for a moment. Her stomach felt like it was going to rip open, and she was nauseous. Her head felt like it was going to break.
‘As expected, rose poison is the worst.’
Elisha was half-conscious. Nearly senseless. The loud cacophony around her gradually became a more and more distant din. In that short time, she had many thoughts.
Elisha drank poison today on purpose. This was because she knew very well who sent the poison. Naturally, it was Carola.
‘As expected, Carola isn’t original.’
If a person who believed that everything in the world should go her way collapsed overnight, with what purpose would she live for? The answer was all too easy. Resentment and hatred.
Elisha encouraged Carola. She deliberately went out of her way to visit and provoke her.
‘And when leaving Pansy free to roam within the mansion. It’s obvious what will happen.’
The Head entrusted the disposal of Pansy to Elisha. She was grateful. And she tolerated the little rat named Pansy. The rat returned to its former owner, delivered food, and was calmly brainwashed.
It wasn’t long before Pansy touched the rose tea that Elisha had every day.
‘The bracelet Lapis made for me is really effective.’
The silver bracelet that she always wore. It had a unique feature. If a poison were nearby, it would subtly vibrate.
Every noble and royal family would be clamoring for such an object if they knew it existed even if it costed them hundreds of millions. However, Lucerne issued an order of silence regarding this secret invention.
As a result, no one knew about the effectiveness of this bracelet. Arien had known, but she was already dead.
‘Today’s tea… … is different.’
When she drank rose tea at the Duke’s house, she picked dried rose petals and floated rose leaves freshly picked in the morning on top of them.
The rose petals were not eaten by insects and were very clean and were carefully washed. Elisha’s silver bracelet vibrated near the rose petals on the silver plate.
So Elisha noticed the poison right away. She wanted to laugh briefly.
‘Thank you for the gift, Carola.’
She gently lifted the silver plate with rose petals on it.
‘I might drink enough tea to make your plan come true.’
Elisha looked around. Where she always drinks tea. There was no one near that small, luxurious drawing room. She took off her bracelet and placed it on the table.
‘Don’t you like flashy things? Then let’s reveal your bad actions in front of the best audience. That way, your next beating will be harsher.’
The time was just right. In an hour, it was time for Gaju’s walk. Elisha said she would set up a tea table in the garden.
‘I will scold you as you wish, Carola.’
So, during Elisha’s conversation with the Head, there was venom between them the whole time. The rose petals on the silver plate were soaked in toxins.
