At the mention of toxicity, the conference room began to murmur again.

Then Lenore raised her hand and asked absentmindedly.

"Are you saying it's really poisonous? But you're not a black mamba, Miss."

"I've had it since I was born, thanks to my father who thought I was a black mamba and gave me some pheromones. It was only recently that I was able to use them."

"......Then can you show me?"

I looked around and walked over to the flower pot by the window.

When I held the fallen petals in my hand and opened them, the dark, dead, and crumbled petals scattered like powder.

Nonsense.

Someone muttered quietly. An air of disbelief permeated the elders.

I shook my hands and smiled.

"So I will never be kidnapped again. And I will never have my pheromones leaked again."

"But there's no guarantee that something like this won't happen again."

"That will never happen."

I smiled confidently.

"Both the East and the West were destroyed in return for provoking me, so who would dare try again?"

Two leading families have disappeared into history.

The fate of the Cashmere family has not yet been decided, but one thing is certain: it is difficult to expect them to continue in the role of chieftain.

That place will soon be taken by the Iselrod family.

However, Surpia's expression did not brighten as if there was still some uneasy part left.

"But it is certain that this incident has created a weakness in the family. The Artban family has also learned that children born from overcoming the Black Mamba's venom are immune to the poison..."

"If our clan wasn't toxic, were we a weak clan that would easily fall apart?"

"That's not it, but...:

"This incident has already proven that the Black Mamba will not be exterminated because of something like that."

The elders now looked on the verge of being completely convinced.

I decided to deliver the final blow.

"And now I have the strength to protect myself, so you don't have to worry."

Baon nodded.

"You are right. I can tell you all night long the tales of your bravery, and my mouth will hurt. I can guarantee that."

"Is it a war story?"

Lenore asked with interest.

This is because elders were usually unable to participate in wars because their role was to guard borders and castles.

There may be a reason why Kaid didn't send him out on purpose.

Anyway, none of those here had seen what had happened in the west.

Except for his closest associates, Baon and Durias.

Baon began to brag spitefully. His gaze was directed straight at Durias.

I noticed it right away.

Oh, I didn't see Durias. I thought I would have seen him since he was with me when I left the castle.
