My Fiance Told Me He Had Found His True Love and Broke off Our Engagement. It’s Too Late To Ask Me To Get Back Together Now!

r than Cedric, even though she was not an adult yet.

She should be in a position to protect Cedric, but she is being protected in this way.

“I have to be stronger.'

For the first time in her life, she made up her mind to do so.

“Fortunately, it seems that His Majesty's consumption of black death barley was not too much, so I think he will recover if he recuperates for a while.”

“The amount of black death barley ingested would determine whether he would live or die.
The king had blisters on his hands and feet and felt pain in his body, but fortunately it did not seem to be life-threatening.”

“Thank goodness…
Has anyone else had symptoms?”

“No one else seems to have had any symptoms.
That's strange, even for…”

“You think so, too?”

“Yes.
I don't know what they put the Black Death Oats in, but if they are making it in the palace kitchens, it would be strange if there weren't other people with symptoms.
I wonder if the poisoners are showing any symptoms.”

“He said he didn't take a lot, so he only had a few blisters on his feet.
I'm glad we caught it early.”

“What were the Black Death Oats in?”

“I think it was probably the canulé that was presented to His Majesty at the…
Kingdom Festival.”

During the Kingdom Festival, which celebrates the day the ancient kingdom united the continent, the people toast with wine and eat a pastry called a canulé.

A canulé is a baked pastry with a black browning on the outside.

In ancient kingdoms, people drank wine instead of water.

To remove the lees from the wine, egg whites from chicken eggs were used, but this left a large amount of unused egg yolks.
The idea was to use the egg yolks to make a baked pastry called canulé, which is made from egg yolks and barley.

The kingdom that claimed to be the successor to the ancient kingdom celebrated the founding day of the ancient kingdom as the “Kingdom Festival,” with wine and canulé, the symbols of the ancient kingdom.

“What His Majesty is supposed to eat is a canulé made with carefully selected ingredients, but how on earth did the black death barley get mixed in…?”

Everything the royal family eats is produced on their own farms and ranches.
No other ingredients are allowed.

“There are newly discovered ruins of ancient kingdoms, and in one of the murals, there is a picture of a man eating a black canulé, not only on the outside, but also inside.”

“The surface of the canulé appears black with burnt beeswax, but the inside is moist and honey-colored.”

“I have never seen a canulé that is also black inside.*

“No way…”

“Yes, I have.
In the ancient kingdom, black canulé was eaten at the founding ceremony.
It was…
who proposed to revive it.”

“So it was the Duke of Danzel.”

“Yes.
And we also retrieved the canulé that was presented to His Majesty and found evidence that it was made of black death barley.
With this, we can now condemn the Duke of Danzel.”

Cedric looked at Mariabelle and then at Renato with intense eyes.
