The elf's eyes instantly became blank, and his body relaxed as he leaned against his seat. The moment the hypnotic technique successfully took control of the elf's mind, Aldrian asked him,
"Are you Frelix?"
"Yes," the elf answered without hesitation.
"Are you the one responsible for checking any food and drinks that come out from the kitchen, including those served to Empress Sylphia?"
"Yes."
"Did you put poison specifically in her drink?"
"No."
Aldrian narrowed his eyes. If the one responsible for the food and drinks was not the one who put in the poison, then the number of suspects became much wider. The poison could have been added by the person who directly made Sylphia's drink. It could also have been placed by someone outside the kitchen after the drink was prepared.
The possibilities were many, but he would look for the answer until the end of the night.
