The Beloved New Daughter-In-Law of the Wolf Mansion - CH 84

“We caught the criminal, but we couldn’t find out where he got it.”

“You caught the culprit and couldn’t find out where the flowers came from? Kendrick, are you kidding me?”

Desmond opened his eyes and questioned.

“Does that make sense? Then how can you be sure it’s a Giles flower? As Desmond said, it could be another herb.”

Kendrick let out a sigh, then spoke again as if chewing.

“It seems like I’ve already said the third time that the only herb that makes you lose your mind is Giles flowers, isn’t it? I’m asking for your cooperation because of that difficulty. Where did Giles flowers come from and why are they different from what we know?”

Kendrick paused for a moment, then continued.

“It may have gone extinct and then revived, weakening its effectiveness. If anything else has changed, we need to find out. If the Giles Flower spreads, there will be a disaster, so we need to be safe before that.”

Then, the dog clan, who had been quiet the whole time, intervened.

“I heard that Fernando and Hezeth’s children were caught up in the incident, is it true?”

Lamont, the head of the Lion Clan, and Creighton, the head of the Snake Clan, looked at the head of the Dog Clan at the same time.

“Where did you hear that?”

“I asked if it was true.”

At the words of the head of the dog clan, the eyes of everyone at the dinner table turned to Lamont and Creighton.

“It’s true.”

“It’s true. However, the children were asleep and there was no collateral damage.”

The head of the Dog Clan nodded.

Kendrick stopped eating, and slowly looked around the dinner table, and said,

“The resurrection of the Giles flower is a great disaster. We must stop it before it becomes a bigger disaster. So, I ask for the cooperation of each clan.”

“We should clean up the wolf clan too.”

The head of the Rat Clan said sarcastically. They were members of an unblessed clan and usually could not even extend their paws to Yekhart.

The other heads turned their eyes to him. The head of the Rat Clan opened his mouth with a frown.

“Did I say something wrong? The culprit is also a wolf clan, isn’t it?”

Kendrick agreed.

“Yes, the Wolf Clan. Yeckhart’s chef. He claims that what he put in his food was indeed sleeping pills. The man who gave him the medicine only said it was sleeping pills.”

“Who gave him the medicine?”

“The culprit said it was Raniero, is that true? Arthur Raniero.”

Raniero burst into laughter.

“Raniero? Bring me the evidence, Kendrick. Are you going to drive Raniero without proof again?”

“I’m asking because there’s no evidence, Arthur Raniero. If there was evidence, you wouldn’t be eating here.”

When Kendrick growled, the head of the two clans intervened.

“I’ll go back and find out. And the people whose land borders Tamar’s land had better send out more soldiers.”

Creighton said as he cut the meat. At that, Kendrick and Lamont nodded simultaneously.

Tamar’s territory was bordered by only two tribes, the wolf clan, and the lion clan.

“And, since we have to investigate the Giles flower, I want to send an investigation team to Yeckhart.”

As the dinner drew closer, Arthur wiped his mouth with a napkin.

“Shouldn’t you find out about the Giles flower in the territory of the bird clan?”

This is what was already expected. Kendrick smiled and nodded his head.

“There’s no need for that. The culprits prepared plenty of pollen, so there was some left over. I brought it in small pieces to help you investigate, so take them one by one as you return.”

Yeckhart’s servants, who had listened to Akim’s words, discovered it by examining the warehouse of the main mansion.

However, it was impossible to check whether it was Giles’s pollen.

It would be embarrassing if, after recklessly experimenting, the experimented beastmen loses his mind.

At Kendrick’s words, Arthur Raniero’s face crumpled for a moment. However, Arthur quickly suppressed his emotions.

“Beasts who have lost their minds will appear near the place where Giles pollen blows. According to the records… they can grow without sunlight, so if you feel something strange, it would be good to check out places like caves as well.”

The heads of other clans nodded as if they had accepted Kendrick’s words.

It’s been a long time since they had such a peaceful dinner.

Usually, they were busy biting and biting each other, but this time…

‘Giles flower.’

Because of the catastrophe in front of their eyes, they didn’t have time to point their sharp teeth at each other.

That’s how the dinner ended.

The heads of each clan agreed to report immediately to the temple and deliver it to each clan if there was any sign of suspicion.

And—.

“Have you decided on the punishment of the criminal?”

“I will punish him according to the law of the wolf clan. Don’t mind that part.”

After Kendrick answered firmly, he stood up from his seat.

“…Gale? Why? What brings you here to me?”

I took a step back reflexively.

Arsene, Leona, and Cain surrounded me and were wary of Gale for no reason.

Gale looked at it and snorted.

“You’re not even the successor, where are you here?”

And as if trying to squeeze me, he strode closer.

I closed my eyes reflexively.

“Don’t do it.”

Then Arsene snapped Gale’s hand.

“Ha, this little thing.”

Gale glared at Arsene, but since Arsene was Yeckhart’s successor, he couldn’t touch Arsene carelessly.

Fortunately, the priests came in at just the right time.

The priests informed us that we would have lunch with them at a banquet hall.

‘Together with Gale?’

I’m going to have an upset stomach— I stared at Gale’s chubby face and thought to myself.

Anyone other than me would get sick of eating with greedy Gail.

At that time, Arsene held my hand tightly.

As if it was comforting me that it was okay, I held Arsene’s hand tight.

“It sounds like you’re lucky. You, just come back to Raniero.”

After making a lot of threats, Gale headed to the banquet hall with the other heirs, including the Rat Clan and the Cat Clan.

I moved with Leona, Cain, and Arsene long after Gale left.

“Linsy, Linsy. Are you not on good terms with your brother?”

“Ung, it’s not good.”

I nodded my head.

“Really? But why does he keep coming to you? When I saw it earlier, he was only looking at you….”

Well, I don’t like that I went to the Wolf Clan.

“It’s because I don’t like it.”

As we talked quietly, Leona widened her eyes.

“You say that for just that reason? Your brother is… really…”

Leona thought for a moment, closing her eyes tightly as if she couldn’t find the right words for her.

“Are you saying that because you want to say that he’s completely narrow-minded?”

“Right! Linsy, you are really smart!”

While talking, we arrived at the banquet hall.

Seats for children under the age of ten had cushions on the chairs.

Fortunately, Leona and Arsene’s seats were next to each other, and Gale’s seat was at the far end.

I tried to ignore Gale’s gaze and put the food in my mouth.

“Linsy, he keeps glaring at me. Should I ask him to bite him?”

Then Arsene stopped chewing the meat and leaned over to ask me.

I opened my eyes wide and asked again.

“Bite?”

“Ung, let’s have the shadow wolf do it.”

Arsene spread his palms as if to use his power.

I quickly clasped Arsene’s palm.

Because of that wind.

Clank!

The forks and knives I had set down made a loud noise as they fell to the floor.

“Eat politely, vulgar.”

At that time, the eldest heir of the bear clan looked at me and said.

I lowered my head, blushing.

And for a moment, I thought about whether to speak formally or comfortably.

Then, I suddenly remembered what Kendrick had told me.

“Linsy, since you are a member of Yeckhart, you must not lower yourself in public.”

I reflected on those words and carefully handed over my apology.

“I, I’m sorry.”

Then the bear clan’s successor took his eyes back from me.

I put my mouth to Arsene’s ear only after everyone’s eyes moved away from me and Arsene.

“Arsene! Sir Kendrick told you never to use your ability!”

“But he keeps glaring at you.”

Arsene glared at Gale. I held Arsene’s hand tightly.

“You can’t be anxious. Give me your right hand. Eat the food with me.”

I’m right-handed, and Arsene is also right-handed, so I’m in an awkward position.

‘Because it’s better than having Arsene use his ability.’

Ung, it’s totally fine.

Fortunately, the other heirs didn’t have questions about us eating hand in hand.

“Are you already holding hands and eating because you’re a married couple? Whoo-hoo.”

There were also those who laughed as if we were so cute,

I nodded roughly and squeezed Arsene’s hand to prevent him from using his power.

It was because Arsene and I were still young, so we couldn’t use our powers without spreading our palms.

“Linsy, try this.”

Leona pointed to the fruit salad in front of her and said.

She had a meal with me at Yeckhart’s mansion the other day, and she seems to have even figured out my taste.

After saying thank you, I put a handful of salad on a plate and ate it.

Fortunately, the dinner ended peacefully(?).

Of course, Gale did pick a fight with me from afar—.

The distance was too far, and I couldn’t hear properly because of the chatter of the other heirs sitting in the middle.

It was a good thing for me.

After dinner, the adults came to pick up the children one by one.

Leona and Cain also disappeared, led by their fathers.

The last to appear was, of course, Kendrick.

“Sir Kendrick!”

“Dad.”

Arsene and I got up from our seats as soon as we saw Kendrick.

“Until when will I be Sir Kendrick—no, you won’t be able to call me that soon, anyway.”

After Kendrick spit out something I didn’t understand, he held Arsene and my hands.

“Let’s go.”

Ung?
