Are you teaching me how to do things?

“Your Highness, there must be a mistake. How could he do such a rebellious thing?”

In the kitchen, seeing the apprentice Cohen heavily restrained on the ground by guards, Chef Cook immediately knelt before the Crown Prince.

Ryan didn’t even look at Cook, simply gesturing for the guards to retrieve an ingredient.

The physician and magician of the mansion took out a silver needle, piercing it into the seemingly ordinary ingredient.

Soon, a black skull phantom appeared on the silver needle.

“It’s the deadly poison ‘Yellow Spring Bone Rot.’ Just one bite will cause the entire body to fester and die in a very short time.”

The physician said solemnly.

Cook turned his head to look at the apprentice he had always valued, and said in grief and indignation,

“Fool, why would you do such a thing!”

“He did it to frame someone,” Ryan said contemptuously. “Speak, who ordered you to do it?”

“It shouldn’t be like this, how could it be a deadly poison…” Reaching this point, Cohen was completely panicked.

“That person clearly said it was just a common laxative… I really didn’t know it would be poisonous!”

“Who is that person?” Ryan asked impatiently.

Cohen was about to say something, but before he could squeeze out a sound, his expression froze, and he spat out a large mouthful of black blood, instantly losing his breath.

Ryan coldly watched this scene, which had occurred countless times in the past decade, with a calm expression.

“Spare us, Your Highness, we really don’t know anything!”

An apprentice immediately shouted and knelt on the ground.

The other apprentices followed suit.

Cook glanced at the dead Cohen, closed his eyes in pain, and soon began to beg for mercy.

Ryan only felt extremely annoyed by this.

Even if he really wanted to see people begging for mercy, he only wanted to see that woman’s… Huh, why isn’t that woman back yet?

Does cleaning up the tableware and throwing away the food really take that long?

Could it be that she saw the situation was bad and ran away?

For no reason, Ryan thought of something.

“What do you usually do with the food I don’t want?”

Ryan asked Torin, an apprentice who didn’t seem very smart but should be honest.

“Ah?”

The Crown Prince suddenly looked at him, and Torin was immediately frightened.

His mind blank, he answered almost instinctively,

“Re-Reporting to Your Highness, we usually throw it away, unless you haven’t eaten it at all, sometimes we avoid wasting it—”

“Bring Flora Haggia to me!”

Before he could finish speaking, Ryan immediately ordered a guard.

“No need.”

A clear and bright voice rang out.

The blonde girl slowly walked into the kitchen.

Seeing that she was as healthy and energetic as usual, Ryan resumed his usual cold appearance: “Where did you go?”

“Why…”

Unexpectedly, the blonde girl didn’t answer obediently.

Ryan then noticed that her face was full of grief and indignation.

“Your Highness Ryan, you clearly knew someone would poison the food, why didn’t you tell us in advance?”

Flora said excitedly, “What if someone else accidentally ate it? Did you think about that!”

Everyone was stunned. They couldn’t believe that a mere maid dared to question the Crown Prince’s actions to his face.

But Flora didn’t intend to back down, just staring at the black-haired boy.

“My order was for you to throw it away.”

The black-haired boy said coldly.

“We taste the food during the preparation process!”

Flora was still angry.

“That guy put poison in the expensive raw food, so you wouldn’t be poisoned in advance.”

The black-haired boy said.

Everyone was even more surprised.

Although the Crown Prince remained expressionless, he was actually so patiently explaining to this maid who dared to offend him… They couldn’t tell whether this was a miracle or the calm before the storm.

Even more unexpectedly, even though the Crown Prince had yielded like this, the blonde girl was still not satisfied.

“Then why didn’t you catch him on the spot! Why did you have to make such a big scene? Unless you don’t intimidate others, you—”

“Shut up!”

Charlton rushed over and covered the blonde girl’s mouth.

He had been sent by the Crown Prince to appease the other servants in the mansion.

He noticed that the situation in the kitchen was not right and hurried over, only to encounter this scene.

“Flora Haggia, who allowed you to speak to His Highness like that!”

Charlton angrily pressed the blonde girl to the ground, and then, as usual, lowered his head to apologize to the Crown Prince, “Sorry, Your Highness Ryan, I have failed to discipline her.”

The blonde girl didn’t struggle, just continued to stare at someone with hateful eyes.

For some reason, Ryan saw sadness and sympathy in them… as well as anticipation.

“Let her speak.”

Ryan wanted to know what that anticipation was.

The old butler was slightly stunned, then lowered his head and threatened, “Flora Haggia, quickly apologize to His Highness!” Only then did he release his hand.

At this point, the old butler’s desperate maintenance of an outsider made Ryan feel unhappy, and the boredom in his heart became stronger.

The old butler wasn’t the first to become so boring.

What was even more boring was that the stupid woman who dared to yell at him before had now become smart and calm, kneeling properly on the ground and bowing deeply:

“Your Highness Ryan, I’m very sorry, I shouldn’t have spoken to you in that way just now…”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In their view, this was the normal situation, and it was the comfortable situation they were happy to see and had long been accustomed to.

(How boring.)

Ryan’s heart, which had finally produced a trace of ripples, cooled down again.

Just as he was about to leave with his men, he saw the blonde girl suddenly raise her head.

The hatred, sadness, and sympathy on her face had all dissipated.

The previous trace of anticipation was also gone.

Replaced by unparalleled firmness and confidence.

“But I don’t think what I said before was wrong… Your Highness Ryan, you are wrong in this matter!”

As if the responsibility for Ryan doing such a thing lay with her.

“You—”

The old butler was anxious and planned to press her to the ground again, but Ryan quickly raised his hand to stop him.

“Anything else?”

Ryan asked.

The blonde girl’s face rarely showed a trace of joy.

Even in such a situation.

“Please allow us to bury this criminal! And… please be sure to catch the culprit who instigated him!”

Cook, who had been in a daze for a long time, had light in his eyes again.

“And then?”

Ryan said.

The blonde girl’s face showed a rare hint of joy.

Even when in such a situation.

“All of this was my own decision, and has nothing to do with anyone else… I am willing to accept any punishment.”

The blonde girl said without regret, bowing to the ground again.

Everyone was… no.

It didn’t matter what the others thought.

What this woman was doing.

Awakened his sealed memories.

Many years ago, when that person was still alive, they would do the same.

Therefore, he could see it—

“Are you teaching me what to do?”

Ryan said angrily.
