Zachariah felt emotional as he looked at the family-less old man who had devoted more than thirty


    years of his young life to the Bards. “Worry not. I’m fine. Mister Severin said that I was poisoned, and


    most of the poison in my body had been forced out. He’ll give me an herbal prescription for us in a bit,


    and I just need to boil the herbs into a drink!”


    The old butler breathed a sigh of relief and said to Severin, “Thank you, Mister Severin!” Severin, who


    had been secretly paying attention to the servants, smiled at the old butler and said, “You’re most


    wee. She and I are friends, so it’s only right that I help her out!”


    He then asked someone to take out the paper and pen, wrote down the prescription, and handed it to


    the old butler so he could arrange for someone to get the necessary herbs.


    “Sir, how could you be poisoned when you’ve been at home all this time?” The old butler could not help


    but ask Zachariah as he tried to think of what could possibly cause the poisoning.


    Zachariah felt mixed emotions in his heart and he did not want to say anything more. He merely waved


    his hands and said, “It’s been a trying time for everyone, so please don’t worry too much. I’m fine, and


    you may all go back to your respective duties!”


    “Understood!” The old butler then went out along with servants and other members of the Bards.


    After taking a few steps, however, Severin pointed directly at the middle-aged woman he had been


    observing earlier and said, “You there! Stop!”


    She trembled slightly in fright and then said in a panic, “Yes, sir…is something the matter?” She was


    also taken aback and did not know why Severin would suddenly yell at their servant Lena. “What are


    you doing? Lena has worked many years for our family!”


    Severin immediately smiled and said, “Nothing. She just happened to drop something!”


    Severin picked up a purse from the ground, walked over, and handed it to her. “You dropped this!”

    “Thank you, sir!”


    Lena felt a cold sweat in her heart and did not notice that her purse had fallen out. She earlier thought


    that Severin had discovered what she did and was frightened as a result, but it all seemed to be a false


    rm.


    “No thanks necessary. It’s the right thing to do!” Severin smiled, looking as harmless as a dove.


    Lena took the wallet and walked out quickly.


    Severin waited until Lena had left before telling Zachariah, “Tell someone to keep an eye on Lena. I


    suspect that she’ll leave the Bards very soon! Make sure someone’s always tailing her where she


    goes!”


    “Wait a minute!” Zachariah was a little confused for a moment and asked Severin, “Didn’t you say that


    my poisoning is rted to that wooden chair? Why are you telling me to send someone to keep an eye


    on her? Do you think she has something to do with it?”


    Severin smiled wryly. “Your wooden chair was soaked in poison before it was mailed, so there’s no


    absolving your brother of being involved in your poisoning.” After a pause, Severin said, “But the poison


    isn’t very powerful, and if you use the wooden chair as a medium to slowly vtilize the poison, it


    wouldn’t enter your body as quickly as it would otherwise. That being said, there is a kind of


    sandalwood incense that would cause any poison that entered your system to have a quicker effect.”


    “Gasp!” Zachariah took a deep breath after hearing that.


    Severin looked at the other party’s expression and knew that Zachariah believed him. He nodded.


    “When I was treating you in your room earlier, I smelled a faint fragrance that is very unique. It might be


    fine to use the incense on its own, but it is extremely deadly if mixed with the poisonous gas emitted


    from your wooden chair!”
