Early the next morning, Mr. Holder came over to report on the results of the investigation.

Hearing that the Duke of Durfo was still unconscious, the medical officers were helpless.

However, Empress Teresa does not seem to take the matter too seriously, and continues to concentrate on the preparation of weddings and celebrations.

The rest of the guests were talking, and many speculated that the envoy had been deliberately poisoned.

After all, France and Austria are on good terms, and they are likely to threaten the interests of the smaller neighboring countries.

Only when the two tigers compete can they have a chance to reap the benefits.

When Monsieur Holder returned yesterday, he studied the rag carefully, and even found out the origin of the grapes from which it was made, but found no harmful toxins.

"It's weird." Holder was distressed.

In the end, he could only tell Elena and them what he had come to the conclusion.

And the three ladies did not show undue surprise.

It is also rare that Elena did not mock his "uselessness".

It gave him a little comfort.

"As for the lighting circuits." "There's no sign of a deliberate invention, and the circuitry is all intact."

"What about the gates?" Elena asked.

"The switchgate is guarded, so I don't think anything will go wrong." Holder replied, "Was it really an accident?"

"Judging from the evidence so far, there's nothing wrong with you thinking so."

"But the Duke of Dolfo still seems unconscious."

"Then you're going to investigate again?"

"I'm ......," Holder frowned, "Okay."

Elena is really susceptible.

Holder didn't seem surprised at all when he heard that his sister had been here the night before.

"She always likes to run around." "I've been pampered since I was a child. Neither the father nor the queen mother could do anything about him."

This situation was already seen by Bella and the others last night.

"But the little princess doesn't look so naughty." Elena said.

"Huh?" Holder's expression of surprise at this moment was as if he had heard something unbelievable, "Miss Medici, you are the first person to praise her like this!"

"Huh? Is it that serious?"

"Of course, you don't know how famous Anthony is!" "She once drove away three piano teachers and two dance teachers in a month, and even Miss Aimée, who taught him the most patient French, couldn't last two weeks. Moreover, she can always find a series of reasons that seem plausible, but are actually unfounded. For example, Mr. Rodney has bad breath, Miss Tasia's hands are too rough, and Mrs. Blanche can't tell the difference between peonies and peonies, etc., are all strange excuses. Then the whole of Austria became aware of her notoriety, and no one was willing to take up such a terrible job, so the Queen Mother and her father had to go abroad to hire a governess for her."

"......," Miss Elena said, speechless.

It can be seen from these black histories that it is indeed no longer an ordinary level of brutality and willfulness.

"But," Holder continued, "she's a good child, though. And the people in the palace also think that she has a strong talent and rare intelligence, but she is just unwilling to work hard. She was able to master the basic grammar of German and French in just one session, but never liked to memorize verb conjugations. She was also able to run around the garden without hurting any flowers, but she could not remember basic ballroom dance steps. She is also very good at using coquettish skills, which can make the elders not angry with her. Even if everyone was teased, they couldn't get angry when they saw her cute and delicate expression. If it weren't for the fact that she had to be forced to marry now, I think there would be nothing wrong with continuing this happy time."

"In that case, why do this to her?" Elena asked.

"If we can control our own destiny, why don't we want to pursue happiness?" Holder said helplessly.

There was a hint of sadness in his words.

The three of them were chatting when Anna walked in with a chocolate doughnut.

As a result, it was snatched by Bella.

"How many times have you said that you can't have dessert until you finish breakfast."

"Uh......" Anna pouted aggrievedly. This was given to me by Sister Mary just now."

"Huh? Is the princess here?" Bella asked, confused.

"No," Holder frowned, "at this time, she's receiving Father Vermont's morning lessons."

Suddenly, everyone realized what was really going on.

Judging from Holder's description, Princess Mary skipped class again.

It's really commonplace.

"I'm going to get her back. The three of us will go to breakfast first."

With that, Holder turned and left.

"Now, Bella, what is the matter with the Duke of Durfo?" Elena said, "Is it really just overwork?"

"According to the analysis of the clues that Mr. Holder investigated, it is indeed very accidental." Bella replied, "But other possibilities can't be ruled out entirely."

"Don't rule out other possibilities?"

"Although it is said that it will be busy because of the affairs of the family, most of the content has already been planned. I don't think the rest of the work, no matter how tedious it is, won't let him fall. Because he was a special envoy sent by France to ask for marriage, in other words, all he had to do was to take the princess, the future crown princess, safely. And most of the specific work here is still in charge of the Vienna side. Coupled with the fact that it is a time of peace, and both countries are doing their best to show favor to the other, there should not be too much pressure, and it is unlikely that he will be overworked."

"So, the chances of being killed are higher?"

"According to Mr. Holder's investigation, if you want to poison a cup, you have to get close to the kitchen of Schönbrunn Palace, but you can't be sure which cup the other party will use, and you need to go through a guard to control the electric switch, so it won't be easy to implement either way. But, then again, we took it for granted that we connected the two things because yesterday's power outage caused the fall of the Duke of Durfo at the same time, right?"

Because they happen at the same time, treat them as interrelated events – this is human bias.

"Huh? What does this mean?" Elena looked at Bella in confusion.

"Let's assume that someone poisoned the Duke of Durfo's red wine. So, as long as he drinks the red wine, won't the purpose be achieved? Why do you have to cut off the lighting?"

"This ......"

"Or to put it another way, if someone deliberately cuts off the lighting in the hall and plunges the whole banquet into darkness for a short time, then the most likely purpose is to disguise the identity of the actor, right? You only need to shoot or assassinate with a sharp weapon, right?"

"You mean that poisoning doesn't require cutting off the lights, and cutting off the lights doesn't do poisoning, do you?"

"That's right, it's easy to understand if the two things happen separately. But when you put it together, it's weird, isn't it?"

It's unconscionable.
