Come to another world and become a lord

Chapter 131 Poisoning

Morton's three children, the oldest is his eldest son Derek, who is only 14 years old this year, and the second son Lance is 12 years old. The youngest is an illegitimate daughter, Tilda, who is only 8 years old. It is said that she was born to a maid. The birth process was not very smooth. Although she survived in the end, the maid died of heavy bleeding. With Morton's death, she has now become an orphan.

Several of them were just children. But if you think about it, Carl himself is only 16 years old. As a time traveler, he has been struggling in society for a while, so he always tends to ignore the actual age of this body.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, then raised his glass to a few people and said:

"Don't be afraid, let's celebrate new beginnings."

Several children grabbed the wine glasses in panic but were afraid to drink until Carl drank the wine first. Then Derek and Lance followed suit. However, the youngest Tilda did not move.

Karl put down his wine glass, then looked at the little girl and asked deliberately:

"Why don't you drink?"

"I... I'm too young... I can't drink..." the girl replied tremblingly.

"Yeah." Carl nodded. It was a perfect reason. If that was the case...

"Guard, change her juice." he said suddenly.

The guard at the side nodded, then brought a new cup, filled it with fresh grape juice, and handed it over.

The moment Tilda took the glass of juice, her hands were shaking.

"I...I'm not thirsty yet..." she said again.

It looks like she’s been frightened, Karl thought to himself.

"Relax." He then said, "This is just an ordinary dinner party. After all, everyone is of similar age, and I also want to get to know you better."

Then he made a gesture of invitation and continued:

"So eat as much as you can, and don't be restrained."

Then he saw three people smiling at each other, which was uglier than crying.

At the same time, Jim was running quickly through the corridor towards the banquet hall. He was extremely anxious at this moment, just because of a small rumor: someone was going to poison Carl at the banquet. Although the source of the news was unreliable, he still didn't want to take the risk. He had to inform his good brother, even if it turned out to be a false alarm.

As he was running towards the banquet hall, he suddenly ran into Aisha, who was walking towards the banquet hall with a servant.

After seeing the two people, he shouted as if he had seen a savior:

"Aisha, it's great to see you. Quick! Go tell Carl that someone is trying to harm him!"

However, Aisha's reaction was unexpected. She looked calm, smiled slightly and said:

"Don't worry, it's okay~"

Jim was stunned. He didn't understand why Elsa was so calm:

"How can it be alright? Someone wants to poison the party..."

"Don't worry, there won't be any problem." But Aisha quickly rejected his words.

"How can you be so sure? No, I have to go see Carl!"

Jim said as he was about to leave, but was suddenly grabbed by Aisha.

"You can't go to see the Lord. He is having dinner with someone."

"With whom?" Jim asked.

Aisha did not answer, but the servant next to her suddenly said:

"The Lord is having a private dinner with the three children of Morton tonight."

Jim was stunned when he heard this. He seemed to have thought of something. To make sure, he asked again,

"Wait, what did you say? The three kids from Moulton?"

Aisha glared at the servant beside her, then turned to look at Jim:

"The adults have their own arrangements. Don't ask about this matter, and don't get involved."

This time he understood everything, including Karl's purpose. In an instant, he couldn't help but yell:

"No, he can't do that, they're just kids!"

"Jim, Jim, calm down, things are not that simple~" Aisha tried to pull him but was thrown away again.

"No, don't try to lie to me. I won't let him do this. I'm going to stop him!"

Then he pushed Aisha aside and continued running towards the banquet hall.

In the banquet hall of Candlelight Castle, dinner was still going on. It had to be said that the three children were very cautious. They didn't start eating until Carl ate first. Derek was the first to follow Carl's pace and start eating and drinking, while Lance was more cautious. He waited for Carl to take something before he followed. As for the youngest Tilda, she didn't eat a single bite the whole time, just watched quietly.

Carl looked at the three people quietly. Derek had already eaten the food that was really poisoned, and there was no hope for him. Lance followed his own eating habits and avoided the poisonous food, but he would still have symptoms of poisoning later, and then Aisha would feed him real poison under the pretext of treatment. The problem was Tilda. The girl really didn't eat a single bite the whole time, which was troublesome.

Karl focused his eyes completely on the other person, then he put down his knife and fork and asked:

"Why don't you eat?"

"I... I'm not hungry..." the girl replied softly, but at this moment, her stomach growled uncooperatively.

And Carl would not miss this opportunity:

"You're obviously hungry."

Then he waved to the guards beside him and said:

"You should eat something. It's not good to be hungry. People who don't know will think I am abusing you."

As they were speaking, two guards had already walked up to the girl.

"No, I don't need it, I really don't need it!"

The girl shouted weakly, but she was soon held down by someone. One of them scooped a piece of fish with a spoon and was about to stuff it into her mouth.

"I won't eat it, I really won't eat it!"

She struggled and kept twisting her head, but it was no use. One of them pried open her mouth and the other forced the liquid into her mouth.

But just when she was completely desperate, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Carl!" Jim's voice rang out, "Stop it, the party must stop!"

Then he saw the actions of the two guards and shouted again:

"What are you doing? Why don't you let go!"

Following his scolding, the two guards let go of the girl and retreated.

The moment she was released, Tilda immediately knelt on the ground, began to dry heave, and spit out all the food in her mouth.

Jim... the most troublesome person appeared. Carl felt a headache. If he had to say who he least wanted to see today, it would be Jim. He knew the character of his good brother too well. If he knew what he was about to do, he would probably risk his life to stop it.

As expected, Jim asked angrily:

"Karl, what on earth are you doing?"

"I want to ask, what are you doing?" Karl's tone was cold, "You broke in without permission and didn't even knock on the door."

"I'm stopping you from doing the wrong thing," Jim replied.

"I did something wrong? What did I do wrong? I was just having dinner with some friends."

"Don't try to fool me! Do you think I don't know what you are going to do?" Jim roared again.

"I didn't do anything." Carl replied with a still cold face.

"Do you dare to swear?" Jim asked again.

"Why not?" He continued to answer. At this time, he was already a little angry because Jim's sudden intrusion had left Tilda with nothing to eat... Not only had her plan not been completed, but she was also being nagged by Jim, the annoying guy...

As the two were discussing intensely, Derek suddenly felt unwell. He wanted to get up and leave, but he fell down again the moment he stood up, and then began to vomit blood. Lance was shocked by his brother's condition, and then he also felt a stomachache and began to vomit continuously.

This sudden situation interrupted the argument between the two. Jim stared at the brothers with wide eyes, and then anger filled his brain. He turned back and pointed at Carl and shouted:

"You still dare to say you didn't do anything?"

Just as he finished shouting this, he saw Carl also lying on the table and vomiting. At this moment, Jim was confused. Wait, shouldn't Carl be the one who poisoned the food? Why did he get poisoned too? Did he make a mistake? The previous anger disappeared in an instant, and he was replaced by worry about his brother.

“No, this is impossible!” He rushed to Karl quickly and helped him up, “Doctor, go find a doctor!”
