Chapter 34 – 034 – Hyde Poisons the Count’s Eldest Son! #2

034 – Hyde, poisons the eldest son of the earl family! # 2

Selim, Doctor of Theology.

He felt that the situation happening in the Agarpe territory this time was not bad for him.

‘That Loras died and Tristan died too.’

They were guys that Selim didn’t like because they always believed in their muscles and strength and showed off.  Selim was secretly relieved that those guys died along with Oscar Archibald.

‘Oscar Archibald was a messenger personally sent to this territory by the Archbishop. So to speak, they were Archibald’s eyes and ears. But since that person is dead, a replacement will be needed─.’

Selim, a doctor of theology, thought he should appeal to the respected Archbishop Archibald. And he had no doubt that only he could save the ruined Agarpe estate.

‘The era of discussing peace through force ended during the Roman Empire. A leader must have wisdom. Just like the founding king Uniger did!’

As Selim was strengthening his ambitions, what caught his eye was the grass that the monk Hyde had brought in as medicine for Dihon.

Witchwort digitalis.

Even if you consumed just a little bit of the leaf, you would die from symptoms such as headache, diarrhea, delirium, and paralysis.

‘Did you bring that kind of grass because it’s medicine? Oh my, Hyde. It’s a ploy by you to kill Dihon, the legitimate eldest son, and swing Lady Psyche back and forth to take over the Agarpe family!’

Selim thought that his presence in Agarpe was a great blessing for the people of the Agarpe family.
So he shouted at Hyde in front of his teacher Parmas’ name.

“If Hyde uses foxglove to cure Dihon’s illness, I will beat my head against the wall and die! But if the disease gets worse, or you die—.”

At that time, the earldom will punish Hyde terribly.

And Psyche will become a widow.

‘Lady Psyche and I are getting married. Lady Psyche knows that wisdom is stronger than strength. She and she’s best of all she’s still a virgin. ‘What a stupid Mr. Hyde.’

Hyde failed to win Psyche’s virginity, but Selim himself thought otherwise. Indeed, Selim’s wisdom is like Agarpe’s treasure.

Of course, it was a wise idea to have children to pass on his wisdom and knowledge.
Selim had no doubt that his children would be smart.

However─.

Hyde’s expression was very gentle.

That didn’t like Selim.

“Hyde, say something!”

It was when Selim shouted as if scolding.

Soon, Hyde sighed and spoke.

“It is as Selim said. Foxglove is called the witch’s plant, and if ingested even slightly, it becomes fatally poisonous and destroys the human body. However, if you extract the leaves by cutting them very finely with water, there is nothing that cannot be used as medicine.”

Using extreme poison as medicine.

Could that cowardly monk, Hyde, be able to make distributions that would be difficult even for Master Parmas in Florence?

Selim did not believe it.

“It’s a lie! The plan is clearly to kill Prince Dihon with poison! We have to stop him now! Before a bigger accident occurs!”

“You idiot, a bigger accident is when you draw blood from little Dihon in bowls and then go into shock. That’s called an accident. “If I draw blood randomly, will I get better?”

“What? Are you now ignoring the teachings of my teacher, Lord Parmas?”

“Yes, looking at you, it seems that Parmas, who taught you, is also an idiot.”

“Well, oh my, huh, really—! “Cancel that!”

Selim’s mouth went dry at the sight of Hyde not only ignoring him, but also ignoring the name of Parmas, who was so great that he was called the Sixth Knight of the Holy War.

It was always Selim’s pride to have the famous Parmas as his teacher.

If Selim told others, “This is a story I learned from my teacher, Lord Parmas—”, Ignorant people would believe him even if he said he could make fire out of ice.

It was a prestigious name, and it actually was.

“Are you insulting my teacher just now? “You’re crazy!”

“I won’t talk too much. Count Dovan. “If you think this medicine I created will harm Prince Dihon, please imprison me.”

Hyde looked at Count Dovan.

Doban.

He looked at Selim’s and Hyde’s faces alternately with expressions of great distress, and Selim was not a fool, so he could see a little bit of anticipation for Hyde in Doban’s face.

‘No!’

“Count Dovan! This isn’t a fight between me and Hyde! This is more than just a battle of pride! Think of it as a fight between Hyde and Lord Parmas, not a fight between Hyde and Selim!”

Doban.

He was not a man of great ingenuity or wisdom. His strength was in dealing with people bravely on the battlefield, and he was actually good at that.

However, in this era of peace, when people lived, died, and fought with each other, he was in fact no different from a master.

Nevertheless, the reason he was able to maintain his position as a count of a large family called Agarpe was because he had excellent ‘intuition’.

‘It’s been a good intuition so far, but if I make the wrong choice this time, my son Dihon may die! To be honest, Hyde, this guy has been perfect so far.’

Hyde.

Count Dovan had a strong desire to trust him.

How hopeful is the story that only this can cure the son’s illness.

In fact, he was a count who spent a lot of money buying all kinds of medicines and treatments that were said to be good for his son’s illness, as well as superstitious amulets.

‘But Hyde, it’s true that this guy is suspicious. He suddenly appeared, cured my daughter’s illness, and even defeated the Crescent Moon Sisters and Oscar Archibald in one fell swoop.’

Also, there are even marriage talks with Lady Milione.

And I was deeply moved by the fact that Archbishop Archibald personally wrote a letter saying that he wanted to marry Hyde to his daughter.

Archbishop Archibald.

Doban knew him well because he had seen him on the battlefield. He was a very snake-like man.

‘Maybe he wasn’t Archbishop Archibald’s spy from the beginning? If you think about it that way, a lot of things fall into place.’

Hyde was devoted to the Agarpe family. A person’s actions tend to have an underlying psychology of wanting ‘reward’, but Hyde had none of that.

Is there anyone who simply serves others without expecting any reward?

Count Dovan, who had walked the battlefield as a nobleman and warrior, could not trust that such a saint existed.

“Okay, I trust you, Hyde. “I wish you good luck.”

But.

Doban again decided to trust his senses rather than his reason.

# ​ ​​​ ​ # # ​ #

Count Dovan.

Although he sat in a great position, he was more indecisive and had more worries than expected.

His contribution to the decline of the Agarpe family will be at least 30%.

But even so, I thought that the reason he was able to sit in the earl’s seat was probably because of good luck.

The luck of being born into a noble family.

And the luck of having Hyde as my son-in-law!

Of course, according to the Bible, this was not luck.

They are all cogs under the great ‘providence’.

“Prince Dihon, I know you are listening inside. You probably just heard what your father said, right? “I need to take medicine, so please open the door.”

I spoke to Dihon beyond the door.

Then Selim did not give up and shouted.

“Dihon! Do not open the door! If you drink poison you will die! Please listen to this Selim! Selim, haven’t you worked hard day and night for Prince Dihon!”

I guess he is trying to interfere with the treatment by showing off his friendship with Dihon.

Now Selim’s expression was very confident, and he seemed to look down on me.

Ugly guy.

I knew you would come out like that.

“Prince Dihon, aren’t you curious about the next story of ‘The Village of the Back Alley Nymphs’? The following story of what happens to the nymph Oinoi being chased by the nymph hunter is written here in the book.”

The masterpiece of my life, The Village of the Nymphs, Volume 2.

A fairy tale that is so perfect, pure, and wonderful that it cannot be compared to low-quality font combinations such as “The Devil.”

Dihon would recognize this value!

Giik-.

Dihon’s visit actually took place!

“Volume 2 came out? “I can’t wait to read it!”

“Dichon, Prince Dihon! What if I open the door!”

Selim was now foaming like a rabid dog. Anyway, I went into Dihon’s room and handed him a bottle of potion.

A wooden water bottle the size of your thumb.

A few drops of potion in it.

It was a medicine made by cutting very, very small leaves of the witch’s plant and diluting it with water to extract it.

“Dihon, actually, we don’t have a choice. “It is your choice whether to drink this medicine or not.”

“…”

Dihon looked at me.

Then he seemed to look at the faces of Selim and Count Dovan alternately, and finally he looked out the window, his eyes burning with fire.

Yes, I am trapped for the rest of my life due to my weak body.

Wouldn’t it be unfair?

“I would like a drink.”

That’s right!

He is indeed Psyche’s younger brother.

I don’t know if it’s because he resembles Count Dovan, but he’s good at improvising when making decisions.

However, Selim went crazy over this decision.

“It’s not possible! This is crazy! Why are you saying you want to drink poison? Prince Dihon must be crazy now! Crazy is not normal! Okay! It certainly is! It’s a hex!”

What kind of hex is hex-.

But Selim soon came into her room and she rummaged under Dihon’s bed.
Then, isn’t Dihon very embarrassed?

“Three, Lord Selim!”

“Look at this! Here! Look at this fascinating book, “The Demon King,” Hidden under Young master’ bed! Now Prince Dihon is being deceived by an evil book!”

No, why are the devils there?

While I was slightly embarrassed, Dihon, now a 10-year-old boy, turned very red and let out a strange scream, “Ah, huh, huh!”
A situation where people are flocking to this commotion.

Selim soon spoke as if he had won the victory.

“Hyde, was it you who gave this profane and pretentious book to Prince Dihon? “They were trying to force Young master Dihon to commit suicide by making him drink poison to bring him out of his mind!”

What are you talking about?

When it comes to devilishness, I am not guilty!

Of course, strictly speaking, I wrote the book, so it was my fault!

But I don’t know why that book is there.

It was then.

“I gave it to you.”

Someone appeared, cutting through the crowd.

It was Lady Milione.

“As the eldest son of an earl, I must have a good understanding of what goes on in the world. And wouldn’t it be boring if we stayed in the room together every day? “I know that feeling well.”

Milione, you crazy bitch!

Giving a crazy colored novel to a 10-year-old?

She was a very strong woman.
However, Selim seemed very embarrassed because it was not I who gave him the book.

“Well, that’s right—you two can’t possibly be together? Okay! It’s clear that these two worked together! These two people plotted to devour the Agarpe family! Oh my, now I understand! “You two were on the same page from the beginning!”

Rumblingly-.

People who become noisy at Selim’s words.

“Prince Dihon read the Book of Demons?”

“A novel so low-quality?”

“Honestly, it was well written. The unit called the meter is truly innovative. “Better than Pete, which was just a guess.”

“No, even so, it’s a bit too much for a 10-year-old to see—.”

I was getting annoyed in many ways, so I thought I should end this quickly.

Above all, Dihon’s face was so red when everyone caught him reading a pornographic book that he looked like he was going to commit suicide.

“Dihon! Please choose!”

“…”

Dihon was shocked and trembled at my story.

And after closing her eyes tightly, she drank down the medicine held in his hand.
A situation where everyone gasps and holds their breath.

“Well, my heart and body are hot─.”

Sssss-.

A faint reddish fog-like thing could be seen hovering over Dihon’s body as he complained of strange feelings.

The first one to react was Milione.

“Auror?”

Auror.

It was one of the ‘three miracles’ unleashed by those who trained their bodies.

For reference, the three miracles are divine power, mana, and aura.

“I feel warm! “I’ve never felt this warm before!”
