Princess Altrelia
40: Altrelia
“You're telling me there's a chance of a suicide pill behind his teeth, right? And you took out the pill. But it turns out that he still kept one poison and ended up drinking it.” Anders said at length to Elbert who had already reacted seriously.
“Poisons?”
“He has one more poison that he keeps in the pendulum of the necklace he wears.” explained Anders. “I'm sorry, for not being thorough, that person is now dead.” Anders added.
He truly felt regret, for the only person who could make them have a clue to find the mastermind, was, now it's just gone because of Anders' own carelessness that should have been before he was put in prison he had to examine the entire body of the perpetrator.
But since the rice had become porridge, nothing could be done to the dead man.
“.............................” Elbert again gasped, he again failed to catch someone alive. 'What does this mean that he is also a group of the Sun Ring?'
Feeling a failure to do something, Elbert will inevitably do something for the security of the Fisher residence.
"Gather the whole army and the servants."
"Are you going to do a thorough checkup?" ask Anders.
"Yes, I have to men-"
But before Elbert finished his sentence, Anders immediately interjected. "Doing a thorough examination will actually cause suspicion in the perpetrator. He will be more vigilant and make us can not get a single clue, do you want that?”
"Ah~" Elbert immediately sighed violently. He held his own head and made a regretful and frustrated face over his stupid thoughts earlier. "You're right. If it's like that, we're gonna have a harder time finding the culprit."
Anders looked at the face of his chairman who looked like a tired man. "Don't force yourself. I know you also have the task of keeping an eye on Miss Altrelia, also having to take care of the troops alone. But you have to remember, what's the point of us knights working here? It was to protect Fisher, because that's what use us.”
“Truely too, I as the deputy commander must utilize my own men.” said Elbert. Where the face of Elbert who was originally like someone who was frustrated, now turned into a facial expression that has a deeper meaning than just asserting the opinion of Anders earlier.

Alstrelia after breakfast with Lena, and again managed to finish all the dishes served by the chefs, now is the time for Alstrelia to act again.
“Hmm Alstrelia closed her eyes while thinking to herself.
“Is there a problem miss?”
“Markas? You mean cage?” asked Lena with a face.
“Yes, that's what I mean.”
“Then for that four-legged animal, its name is horse. Do you really not know what a horse is?” asked Lena again, astonished by the way Altrelia thought like someone who did not know trivial things like that.
“I've only ever seen it drawn, but never met in person. So I want to go see it now.” explains Altrelia.
“If now-” Lena is making a thoughtful face of her, and returns to answer, “If it is not wrong it should now be the schedule of all horses released into the meadow. If you want to see it, you have to go as far as 500 meters to the west of this mansion.”
“So yes.” Altrelia nodded in understanding.
“Do you not ask why?”
Altrelia looked back at Lena who had a curious face. “Isn't it clear? They also need freedom, even if it is only temporary. Then after all, that way all the horses were not going to stress, coupled with that way, then they could maintain their strength in running. Humans only need to play, why not with horses?”
Lena was instantly amazed. “How to think you! Great!”
“You praise me for that?” alstrelia asked with one of her eyebrows raised.
“Of course, miss! Everyone only thought of keeping the horse from escaping, and could only stay in the stable while being fed, drinking, and sleeping, but no one ever thought about what it would be like to be locked up in a cage. And you make simple and amazing thinking. Even small children can immediately understand your sentence earlier.” explained Lena at length.
‘Only because of that, why does he look so excited?’ although astonished by Lena's behavior that was quite excited just because she explained the sure thing, Alstrelia could only comment on a happy smile, because at least in a place that was to her this stranger, she said, there was one person who could accompany him.
Lena's.
To Alstrelia it looks like Elda.
But here of course there are many differences between this Lena and Elda who Alstrelia knows, namely in terms of nature.
Where if this Lena from the outside looks like a plain woman, then Elda is a woman who looks quite mature.
