With that, Francesca went upstairs, leaving Robin and the other subordinates rooted to the spot.
If they were already nervous before, hearing what Francesca said only served to compound their
unease.
She herself stated that they had all been poisoned, but her reaction puzzled them to no end. It was as
though they merely caught something as trivial as fever or a cold.
“I know Francesca. She's got a good heart, so she won't let anything happen to you all,” William said
reassuringly.
“Right. Of course.” Robin nodded profusely in agreement. “Don't worry. Ms. Felch isn't going to ignore
us since she's already aware that we've been poisoned.”
“Understood...” The subordinates were finally able to relax.
“For the time being, don't let the rest of them know about the poisoning, lest everyone panics,” Robin Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
instructed. “Keep a close eye on the water source and the storage room tonight, and watch out for any
suspicious characters.”
“Understood.”
Once he had made the necessary arrangements, Robin wheeled William back to the room.
After he closed the door behind him, Robin opened a bottle of mineral water and passed it along to
William. Then, he asked in relative unease, “I didn't expect Ms. Felch to be this sharp. Do you think she
would be able to expose our secret?”
“What secret? What is there to expose?”
William glared at Robin coldly in a manner that was a stark contrast with his usually gentle demeanor.
“Uh...” Robin hesitated, then hastily bowed his head. “I understand.”
“Someone did try to poison us, and there is genuinely a problem with the water supply. We didn't try to
deceive Francesca in this regard,” cautioned William sternly. “It's just that this problem was known to
me much earlier.”
“Yes. Of course.” Robin wiped the sweat off his brow as he nodded.
“Since we aren't able to deal with the poison, we'd sooner or later need to summon Ms. Felch. It's just
that things would be different if she were to uncover the problem herself. But It just occurred to me that
Ms. Belch may be much smarter than I had anticipated, and she's quite the character too. I'm
concerned that she'd get upset and quit on us if she were to sense something amiss...”
“Firstly, I believe that Francesca is not only a responsible person but also a compassionate one. She
wouldn't leave us in the lurch even if she does get mad at us. Secondly, only you and I are in the know
about this, so no one would find out so long as you don't speak of it. Besides, I wasn't seeking to harm
anyone. I just found out about the problem with the water source much earlier but chose not to give
anything away in order to lure the culprit out, that's all.” William spoke resolutely and unapologetically.
“Yes. You’re right about that.” That helped calm Robin down somewhat. “But what’s our next step?”
“Did Silas see Francesca at the airport today?” William asked.
“He did, and he looked at Ms. Felch quite meaningfully before he left. I'm sure he would look into Ms.
Felch's background when he returned, and ought to have found out that she's the legendary doctor
Francesco by now,” Robin said. He was meticulous.
“Understood!”
It was at that moment William's true intentions became evident to Robin.
Back then, Robin was enraged and wanted to inform Federico about it right away, but the oddly calm

Afterward, William even got him to partake in an act to lure Francesca over.
It was only now that Robin realized that the prince who he served was more judicious and farsighted
than he had previously imagined.
