Chapter 2086


    “Yes, Ms. Felch.” Robin left at once to execute her orders.


    “Now, I wish to examine the master tap of your water source, the tap in your room, and the storage


    room.” Francesca picked up her backpack.


    “I''lle with you.”


    William made a gesture, and a servant stepped forth at once to wheel him to apany Francesca in


    her investigation.


    “Are you suspecting somebody of poisoning the water source, Frannie?”


    William asked.


    “You should have already guessed that you''ve been poisoned and had quietly conducted an


    investigation,” Francesca inferred.


    “You are so clever.” William sighed.


    “Through your prior investigation, it''s in that the kitchen and everywhere else contained nothing out


    of the ordinary. If that''s the case, the problem lies in the dark,” Francesca surmised. “Aside from the


    water source and the storage room, I can''t think of anywhere else.” “We have considered the water


    source actually,” William said. “Everybody in the castle drink from the same source I do. How would


    they be fine if the water source is contaminated?”


    “How do you know they are fine?” Francesca argued.


    William was taken aback. The servants began to panic.


    “All of your brows are unnaturally dark,” Francesca dered gravely. “That is a symptom of mild


    poisoning. The poison showed upon your brow because of the nature of your constitution and your


    consumption of medication. That exins why your reaction is more visible. To be blunt, if I came over


    in another few months, I''m afraid that not a single living thing would be left in this castle. It will have


    be a ghost town!”


    At those words, everybody turned pale with fright.


    “How vicious of them!”

    William shook with anger. Usually calm and assertive, he could not control his emotions at that


    moment.


    “Fortunately, it''s not toote.”


    Francesca then examined the water source and discovered something.


    The poison was subtle and difficult to trace but would be fatal after a long and gradual


    umtion within the body.


    William''s bodily reaction to it appeared quickly, firstly because he was a yearlong invalid of a weak


    constitution and secondly because he had been consuming Francesca''s medicine.


    The reaction arose because the medicine shed with the poison.


    It was also due to the reaction''s speed that precautions could be taken on time.


    Otherwise, William would only exhibit symptoms several monthster like the others. By then,


    Francesca would not be able to do anything, no matter how prodigious her medical skills were.


    Before apanying Francesca to investigate the storage room, William had somebody turn off the


    water supply. She looked around closely and found a box of sealed essential oils.


    She had somebody open it, then personally examine a sample with a silver needle, only to discover


    something wrong with the bottle of oil.


    “These essential oils are specially for my use,” William exined. “As I suffer from insomnia, I require


    me...”


    “Understood.” William nodded.


    At that moment, a servant came to report that the crowd had gathered at the door in wait.


    Francesca and William headed toward the door. “Have there been any neers to the castle of

    Francesca did not say much else as she followed William to the entrance.


    The bodyguards and the soldiers appeared rtively calm as they were used to significant events.


    On the other hand, the servants and the maids stood shivering in nervousness and fear.
