Reincarned with a deities Harem (Tome 1)

Mylène again.

Claude was now angry, he was not naive or fooled, he knew that the butler wanted to insinuate that Mylène was the person responsible for this possible poisoning...in this house, she would be the first to be indexed in this type of situation.

“Poisoned?  Is that what the doctor says?”

“I...he's still examining him...I think Mr. Karl's condition is deteriorating enough to conclude it was poisoning.  Until yesterday when I left him at bedtime, he was perfectly fine.  Even earlier I must say, but suddenly everything changed… the Duchess, Mr. Edward and the lady are already there at his bedside.”

“Okay, you can go now, I’ll be there.”

“But...you have to go urgently he has...”
Claude looked at the man coldly and the latter immediately retracted his statement.

“I asked you to go.  I’m not a doctor in any way, it’s not my place to rush into it.”

Seeing Claude's expression, the butler walked out of the office with a tense face as Claude sat down in his chair putting his hand on his face.

“Damn Mylène what did you do?”

“I see that my baby is as cunning as me... Getting rid of potential bothers, What a good idea.”

“Stop Christal, it’s my son and even if she doesn’t like him, Karl is her older brother, she must not kill him.”

"Your son?"  Christal chuckled before continuing “Honestly Claude, do you think our daughter would have reached such extremes if this kid hadn’t given her the choice?”

“They had altercations, it's normal at their age, especially with Karl's impulsive character, but from there to killing him...I don't know...”

“Claude I will always be on my baby’s side, and if she thinks Karl should disappear then she has all my support.”

“Christal...”

At the same time, Christal had disappeared, leaving Claude in his despair.  Even if he doesn't pay much attention to them, they are his sons, his blood and it would really hurt him if something happened to them.

He sighed and got up willy-nilly, this day was really rotten, between Seiryu waking up and the possible arrival of the other sacred beasts for some revenge, the fact that he doesn't know if his daughter is okay and now the  Karl's impromptu illness which, he knows, is the work of Mylène... plus he has just had an argument with Christal... Damn he is between the bark and the tree.

He got up and went to his son's room to inquire about his condition.
When Mylène returns, he will have to ask her what she did and above all ask that she stop because no matter how much she hates him, killing him is pointless.

In Karl's room, the doctor and the rest of the family were at the bedside.

The latter seemed to be in great pain, writhing in pain and groaning while gritting his teeth.  The doctor had a worried face feeling his pulse, it looked like he didn't know how to deal with this kind of illness or at least not yet, no one knows what he has in mind.

“So, doctor?”

Sofiane asked but the doctor was too immersed in his analyzes to answer her, he did not know what he should do now having detected the problem.

The butler entered and all eyes turned to him.  Even Karl had looked in his direction and then when the butler closed the door behind him his face fell as if he had just been hit with bad news.

"Father...."

he called out almost in agony.

“I’m sorry young master I…”

“It’s not possible, even in a situation like this, he can’t even show us a hint of love?”

Edward's fists were clenched, anger and indignation coloring his eyes.  He didn't understand why their father paid them so little attention even before he changed and suddenly became a fan of Mylène, he always put up a barrier between them.

“I...he must be with Mylène.”

Sofiane spat, acerbically, but the butler shook his head negatively.

“She went out early with her pet boy, I don’t know where they went.”

Karl moaned even louder drawing everyone's attention to him, the subject of Claude and Mylène being left unresolved.

"Doctor?"

“I can't comment on the type of poison... truly I'm sorry, I need to do more research on this subject but if I were you I would ask that a higher ranking mage come and consult him...”

“It's impossible... Since father withdrew from the affairs of the nobility, his influence has diminished considerably.  He could request one… but he would have to take a position in one of the factions of the nobility… but that also means that you are saying that there is a chance that Karl will not be able to recover?”

Edward asked panicked.

“I didn't say that, it's just that given his condition, I am unable to treat him, it's better to be honest with you... the best is for you to bring  a mage."
.
“But it costs extra feet and legs, you need influence...”

“The Duke is someone really respected in the kingdom so you...”

“Have you seen him here?  He doesn't even care about Karl just occupying himself with this damn matricide…”

“Calm down brother…”

“How can I, Gabrielle?  When my brother has a chance of dying from poisoning, and I'm sure of that, I'll bet it's Mylène's fault... she's the one who poisoned Karl.”

The others remained calm, the doctor not understanding anything

“So for you it’s Mylène?  Do you have proof of your rants?”

Everyone turned to see Claude at the door, his face angry and tense, he looked really angry.
