By order of the ruling family, Fred, the easily led and obedient, must be installed as the third heir. As for us, our fate is death in the shadows. You are now under the influence of a precise anesthetic; the datura herb carefully mixed into the scented candles and the incense filling your rooms.You claim that you do not hear the muffled screams at night, but at first, I suspected you were hiding it from me. However, I eventually realized the horrifying truth: you truly do not hear anything because you are completely sedated, and sometimes you hallucinate.
The viscountess stared in obvious shock and asked in a trembling voice, "How did you know this?"
Liamond smiled coldly and said in a voice full of mystery, "This is all the effect of the datura plant."
The look of astonishment widened on the viscountess's face. Liamond continued in a low voice but with a hidden threat, "Then, with the gardener's help, control is transferred to the head servant, and then to you two in appearance, so you do not discover that everything is under his control."
The room fell silent for tense moments until Liamond pulled an old, carefully folded paper from his pocket and said, "Look at this." He then slowly brought it near the fire, revealing several hidden lines on the paper that appeared to be a complex map leading down to the viscount's palace. The meticulously drawn engravings, in colors that appeared on the back of the paper, made anyone who saw them feel tense.
Astonishment filled everyone's faces, even the head servant stood in disbelief at what he saw.
"This was all done with the gardener's help," Liamond said in a dangerously calm voice. "He secretly changes the control of the servants to be solely his, then supplies them with the datura plant.
But he grows the oculputus plant in his own garden. This plant is not ordinary; it detoxifies the respiratory system, keeping him safe while he controls everything."
The echo of his words resonated throughout the room, making everyone look at each other suspiciously. Then Liamond suddenly asked sharply, "Finally, are you from 'Scarf'?"
Everyone was shocked, even the head servant and the gardener exchanged quick, terrified glances. The head servant shouted with obvious tension, "How did you know about Scarf?!"
Shock dominated everyone. Even Liamond's parents asked him in a trembling voice, "What does Scarf mean?"
Liamond turned calmly toward the gardener and said in a cold voice, "What do you think? Would you like to explain it to them?"
The gardener smiled, his laugh slow and full of sarcasm, then said, "You know everything, Liamond." He then began to tell the horrifying truth: "Since the time of the first viscount, the royal family established a secret group called 'Scarf.'
This group included an elite of doctors and pharmacists, and their goal was to execute a dangerous project known as 'BG.'
Here's the translation of your text into English:"It was a project led by the sixth prince at that time. The goal of the project was to create the perfect servant, but the information was leaked to competing countries, inciting the anger and resentment of the ruling family.
They ordered the execution of all the doctors and pharmacists, with only a few surviving, while the sixth prince, who was in hiding, surrendered the project and was appointed as the first viscount, who was under heavy surveillance.
Therefore, he created passages beneath the palace to conduct his own experiments, which enabled him to maintain control, surpassing the original experiments. However, news reached the crown prince quickly, and he decided to eliminate him before he threatened his position.
