The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage



Frank kept his eyes fixed on Mole as he said, "What I wrote is clear-Augustraff. That's a herb I identified from the scent."

Mole held his gaze in turn. "I'm not senile enough to fail to read. My question is this-do you know what happens when Augustraff is mixed with the other herbs in this list?"

"Augustraff..."

Nearby, Kairo did a double take before lowering his gaze and muttering to himself, "If it was really put in the soup, it would turn everything into poison! The herbs would counteract each other, and body waste would build up within the body over the next three days before whoever consumes it dies... oh!"

Kairo understood right then-Frank did not make a mistake, aside from including an extra item: Augustraff.

And that would in turn throw off Frank's review of the soup by a country mile.

Kairo sighed and shook his head at the thought. "There's no Augustraff in the soup-my tongue wasn't playing tricks on me.

"If there was, that would mean that this trial is no trial, but a mass poisoning incident. Kornac's Keep would definitely not do something like that. "Frank Lawrence might appear skilled, but the difference in a single herb denied him everything. Mole Cricks is clearly protective of the reputation of Kornac's Keep, which was why he gave Frank zero points. Otherwise, their community won't be able to survive the accusations of poisoning fellow healers."

Horey nodded in agreement beside him-zero points for Frank was actually deserved.

Even Ira had recovered from his initial shock as he realized that Frank was mostly right and was inwardly rejoicing.

After all, thank the heavens the bastard messed up, or he would be kneeling and singing for him!

"Hey, just leave already and quit wasting our time."

"Exactly! You're slandering Kornac's Keep of poisoning us participants!"All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

"Hell, even slander should have its limits!"

"He must be from a rivaling sect, coming to disturb the trials."

"The elders of Kornac's Keep should step up and chase him out!"

"Yeah! Chase him out!"

As everyone started to snap at Frank, Mole was scowling too. "Go back to wherever you came from, or don't blame us for getting rough with you!"

Frank, however, simply sighed with a

ele

look of disappointment despite the angry mob.I heard that Kornac's Keep has a good reputation in their circle despite being a modest group... But I'm just disappointed. Nothing of worth is lost even if I walk away now."

As he turned to leave amid the angry shouts, Ira laughed out loud. "You're the one who's harboring ill will, and you're shifting blame on Kornac's Keep? You're really something else, kiddo!"

Kairo was shaking his head too. "Hmph. Trying to act smart and getting caught in your own

schemes? Your attitude is a

problem, and having you practil

would only bring shame to the rest ofus."

However, just as everyone watched Frank leave, a booming voice spoke from beneath the Kornac's Keep signboard. "Wait."

"Eh?"

Everyone turned, because it was not Mole who spoke.

Instead, it was Yosil Darman, the white-haired elder sitting beneath the signboard who clearly outranked Mole.

In fact, Mole was surprised that Yosil was speaking up too.
