Selma Payne's POV:
Poisoned wine!
It was poisoned wine that was targeted at Aldrich alone.
In an instant, it was as if a thousand tons of boiling lava had been poured into my body. The intense pain spread from every inch of my heart to my entire body and blood. It had the power of sulfuric acid that corroded my bones, destroying my defenses.
Aldrich...
No, no...
I couldn't help but tremble because I realized everything the Crown Prince said was true. I could even guess who had poisoned Aldrich - the lackeys of Azazel or Leviathan, those lunatics who believed in demons. Even if they hadn't done it themselves, this couldn't have been separated from them. That was why the Crown Prince knew everything in detail.
Aldrich...
