Alexander and Alfred were sitting opposite each other in the living room
Alfred was looking at Alexander suspiciously, while Alexander was drinking tea and pretending not to notice Alfred's looks
"Young Master..." Alfred broke the silence, crossing his hands
"Hmm?.." Alexander looked at Alfred
"I searched everywhere for these dangerous materials, but I could not find them. Did you hide them somewhere?.." Alfred asked the question that had been on his mind
Alfred was planning to throw away all those toxic materials after the accident caused by Alexander
Letting Alexander play with these materials is like letting a child play with fire
"That's right, I hid it..." Alexander admitted frankly
"...." Alfred didn't expect Alexander to confess so easily
He expected Alexander to lie, or pretend not to know the location of these materials
"So, where are those materials?.."
"I won't tell you..."
"But, young master…"
"I won't tell you.."
" You.."
"I won't tell you..."
"..." No matter how Alfred tried, he always received the same response
It seems that Alexander expected that Alfred would get rid of these materials, so he hid them in advance
Alfred couldn't help but sigh. He felt tired. The past few days were full of hard work. He started thinking about taking some time off.

"Don't worry, Alfred." Alexander got up from the chair and started walking towards his room. "I will not kill myself."
"...." Is he trying to comfort me?
Alfred planned a new search, he won't stop until he finds those toxic substances to get rid of
----------------
I went to my room and took out a notebook from my pocket, reading the symptoms that I had recorded when I was under the influence of the poison
It was something unexpected
It seemed that the poison was stronger than I expected
Stomach problems
Hallucinations and delusions related to people the victim knows
Partial amnesia after the poison wears off
I have to be more careful when trying more poisons
-----------------
Alexander began experimenting with more new poisons
This led to various situations and incidents inside the Ford family mansion
Alexander woke up every day with new symptoms
Stomach problems
Vision problems
Breathing problems
memory loss
This caused a headache for the servants who were cleaning up the mess Alexander had made
They even had to tie Alexander up one time, because he lost his memory and tried to escape from the palace
Even when they told him that he was the young master of the Ford family, he was not convinced, and accused them of kidnapping him.
On the other hand, Alfred was searching everywhere for these toxic materials
But he couldn't find its location yet
After a series of problems caused by Alexander, Alfred enlisted the help of some servants close to him, and they began searching for these materials
They turned the palace upside down, however, they did not get any results
A group of three people gathered around a round wooden table inside a poorly lit room
"Were you able to obtain any evidence?" Alfred asked, looking at Beatrix, the woman in charge of the maids inside the palace
"I asked the maids to search the young master's room when he leaves for training in the morning, but they found nothing..." Beatrix replied with a frown.
"We must do something..." shouted the chef whose name was Michael. "If Young Master gets poisoned every time, it will ruin my reputation."
Michael lowered his head and began pulling his hair. He was the one suffering the most, due to the young master's poisoning
People started accusing him of being the one who poisoned Alexander's food
He almost had a heart attack the first time he learned that Alexander had been poisoned
But he later learned that Alexander was playing with toxic materials, and accidentally poisoned himself
Therefore, Michael was one of Alfred's biggest supporters in his mission to find these toxic materials
"We must find these materials, no matter the cost." Alfred spoke firmly
The three looked at each other, their eyes filled with determination
Alexander did not know that he had accidentally caused the formation of a secret alliance between the servants
---------
Strange rumors began to spread to the outside world
Alexander was the focus of those rumours
One of those rumors says that Alexander attempted to commit suicide because of canceling his engagement with Princess Layla
Other rumors say it was an assassination attempt
Some people with wild imagination said that Alexander did something that caused the wrath of the gods.
Alfred tried to suppress these rumours, but it seems that there were some spies among the servants, who leaked this information.
Noble families spy on each other, by planting spies among servants, or buying information from these servants.
The Ford family has an army of spies who spread within other families, and likewise, there are some spies who work for other families among the servants of the Ford family.
Therefore, it is not surprising that some news leaked about Alexander's recent actions
Therefore, Alfred tried to prevent any of the untrusted servants from knowing that the reason for Alexander's strange behavior was the poisonous substances that he had purchased himself.
If others knew that the heir of the Ford family had poisoned himself, then the dignity of the Ford family would suffer a severe blow.
Alfred informed Alexander about these rumours. He hoped that Alexander would stop playing with these materials after hearing these rumors that offended him.
But Alexander gave an unexpected response. "What do we have for dinner?"
