Seeing that the Old King seemed to have remembered something, Ariel Watson’s starry eyes also lit up, and she quickly inquired.

“At the end of the banquet, when everyone was preparing to leave, I smelled a strange floral fragrance.”

The Old King furrowed his brows, reflecting carefully on everything at that time: “It was a mix of a faintly sweet and sour scent, and the refreshing fragrance of Cold Flame Lilies.”

“The faintly sweet and sour with the refreshing fragrance of Cold Flame Lilies?”

Ariel Watson’s delicate brows slightly furrowed as she pondered for a moment, then confirmed, “Father King, could it be that the scent of someone present mingled with the fragrance of Cold Flame Lilies?”

“If I remember correctly, the Second VIP Restaurant was filled with the chirping of birds and fragrant flowers, and the most abundant plant there was your favorite Cold Flame Lily, Father King.”

As Ariel finished speaking, Elusa also nodded, thoughtfully saying, “Princess is quite right. I’ve heard that Vice President Elfred of the Alchemist Guild Cold Flame Branch often immerses himself in heaps of heavenly treasures, so it’s reasonable that he might carry some unique scents.”

“At first, I thought the same, so I didn’t pay much attention, but upon careful reflection, I realized it wasn’t so simple.”

The Old King slowly took a deep breath, his expression turning serious, “At that time, the Cold Flame Lilies in the Second VIP Restaurant were not yet in bloom, so that scent could not possibly be that of real Cold Flame Lilies.”

“Most crucially, after careful recollection, I can definitely confirm that this scent did not appear at first, but suddenly emerged at the end of the banquet, clearly ruling out the scents of the other three representatives.”

At this point, the Old King’s expression was full of conviction, asserting, “I believe that the problem is very likely related to this special scent!”

“A special scent carrying the fragrance of Cold Flame Lilies? Indeed, it is a suspicious point worth noting, as such a special fragrance cannot appear out of thin air.”

Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully, but then he thought of a highly critical issue.

“But if the source really is this special scent, it couldn’t be that only Father King could smell it. Why were the others present unaffected?”

Ariel Watson voiced the thoughts in Leo Ray’s heart, her fair face full of perplexity, “This is truly baffling.”

“What the Princess says is very true, the old minister had thoroughly investigated afterward, and aside from Your Majesty, everyone else present was in good health.”

Wu Wei nodded slightly, adding, “Additionally, the magical protections of Lion Castle are considered among the highest, making it impossible for any illusions or other deceptive techniques to be used there.”

As Wu Wei finished, Little Illusion also nodded in agreement.

Extremely sensitive to illusions and countermeasures against them, she could clearly sense it.

Not only in Lion Castle, but every corner within Coldflame Palace also precludes the successful casting of any type of illusion.

While everyone was confused, Leo Ray frowned and pondered for a moment before speaking, “If the culprit really is that special scent and only His Majesty felt ill, this indeed presents an inexplicable contradiction, yet this matter cannot be ignored.”

“Therefore, I think we should take a two-pronged approach to this issue.”

“First, further confirm the information about the special scent with the Maid Guard who were present at the time.”

“Of course, to avoid causing dissatisfaction among the Three Major Neutral Organizations and drawing the attention of the Black Abyss Brotherhood, we temporarily cannot inquire about the three chief representatives present.”

“Secondly, we need to follow the clues from the scent itself, as the special fragrance carrying the essence of Cold Flame Lilies might just be the key to curing His Majesty’s illness.”

“Once we clarify these two matters, the contradiction may temporarily become less important, after all, our main goal at this stage is to cure the Old King.”

After listening to Leo Ray’s words, everyone present nodded in agreement, their spirits lifted.

Although everything remains vague for now, at least a sliver of hope has been found for uncovering the cause of the Old King’s illness!

“Your Majesty, apart from the banquet at noon, was there anything else noteworthy?”

After repeatedly confirming every detail of the noon banquet, Leo Ray continued to inquire.

“The banquet continued until three in the afternoon, and then I sent the three chief representatives away.”

The Old King’s eyes narrowed slightly, continuing to recall the events of that day.

“Once all the representatives had left, I returned to the study in Lion Castle to start preparing for the content of this meeting, until dinner when I suddenly felt dizzy and couldn’t mobilize the energy in my body, and quickly lost consciousness.”

The Old King sighed deeply after speaking.

All this had come too unexpectedly and unpredictably. If given three more days to prepare, he would not have let this power dispute develop so unrestrainedly.

Regretting in his heart, the Old King looked at Leo Ray and Ariel Watson in front of him, and quickly regained his composure.

Regardless, at least the Coldflame Kingdom hadn’t been ruined by his own hands.

The young Otherworlder in front of him and his daughter had not only saved the innocent people of Coldflame, but also prevented him from becoming the eternal sinner responsible for the collapse of Cold Flame Tower.

“So, Your Majesty, did you stay in Lion Castle the whole time afterward? Then, the only clue is indeed that mysterious fragrance from the noon banquet.”
