I did not understand.
I was very sure that Killian paid great attention to every aspect of this party.
Even if something went wrong somewhere, I knew Killian would not joke about what was going into his body.
I was sure that Killian scanned the glass of wine he drank after the speech. If he found something suspicious, he would have avoided that glass of wine. I don't think he ate or drank anything else.
The servant that brought the wine glass to Killian would have tried his best to make sure that nothing was wrong with that glass of wine too.
Killian was the King of aliens after all. I was sure that the servant would not want to get into trouble. Tracking the culprit behind a poisoned glass of wine was easy for Killian.
My mind kept working at full speed.
What could have caused Killian's current reaction?
I was the only one that went to the food area to eat something. I observed myself. There wasn't anything wrong with my body.
The only suspicious thing I could think of was the glass of wine Killian drank. Still, I felt like the glass of wine wasn't the cause of Killian's current state.
My eyes scanned the entirety of the hall. Nothing was amiss. Each guest was either eating or socializing.
Suddenly, Killian sniffed in my direction.
My breath hung in my throat as I watched him carefully.
Killian wasn't in a suitable state. I didn't want something to go wrong.
I was prepared to call the Palace guards if Killian acted out of line. Although Killian was significantly higher in the power hierarchy than those guards, I have no other choice.
I had to keep the fact that not everyone liked Killian and his reign in mind. I would not want uncertain factors like these guests with each of their own motives around Killian during this sensitive time.
I was prepared to use my superpowers to restrain Killian with the help of the imperial guards.
"I am smelling a special scent from you. Did you use a perfume later?" Killian said.
His words still contained a low tone.
I sniffed my hand and the other parts of my body that I could reach.
"What do you mean? I am not smelling any special scent." I replied.
After speaking, I sniffed myself again.
Although I couldn't find what Killian was talking about, I knew he wouldn't lie or play word tricks at this moment.
Then, my nose caught a unique scent that didn't belong to me. It was a special blend of roses and lilies. It was a beautiful scent. My brain operated rapidly. I quickly remembered where the scent came from.
The lady that bumped into me at the food area had left this scent on me.
The only unusual thing that happened in this party was when the lady with the unique scent bumped into me.
The scent she left lingered like the tendrils of a ghostly octopus.
Since I believed the glass of wine Killian drank has a high chance of having no issues, the next suspicious thing was the scent this lady left on me.
My heart constricted.
I felt like it was hard to get air into my lungs. If this lady and the smell she left was truly the culprit behind Killian's state, I would be a sinner.
My consciousness was torn between two options. One part of me wished that the scent this lady left had nothing to do with what was happening to Killian now.
The other part of me wished the scent was the cause so we could have a clue to follow later.
I looked around the party venue. I was more particular this time. Unfortunately, I didn't find the lady that bumped into me.
It felt like she mysteriously disappeared. This discovery rang my alarm bells.
Killian suddenly stood up. Many eyes turned to him. Various emotions were hidden in those gazes.
Killian didn't mind. He took long steps to the entrance of the hall.
In the next second, he opened the door. I stood up too.
I wasn't about to let Killian be alone in this strange state. I followed him hurriedly. Soon, we left the hall entirely.
Killian walked straight to his study. After getting to the huge door that would lead to the study, he stopped.
His hands rested on the door knob.
He didn't look at me. His head was bowed.
His hair concealed the expression on his face.
