After all, Yosil was the castellan of Kornac's Keep! Yosil slowly opened his eyes and flashed a vague smile as Frank turned to him. "I've been watching, young man-you only sniffed the cauldron and wrote down your answer. Why didn't you taste the soup? You might stand a better chance of getting it right that way, no?" Frank stopped in his tracks, but his stance clearly did not change as he retorted, "Why should I taste it when it's poisoned?" If anything, he appeared even surer now.

"Insolence!" Mole was snapping at Frank right then, "Watch your tongue, boy! You're speaking with the castellan of Kornac's Keep!" Frank shot him a look of disdain in turn. "And, what? Are you saying that being older makes everything right?" Mole was left flushing. "You wretch?!" "Manners, Mole Cricks." Yosil held up a hand, stopping Mole from snapping at Frank as he twirled his beard. "You are right, young man. While I am a mentor and have lived for two centuries, my knowledge in Draconian traditional medicine is superficial." Pausing, he flashed a kindly smile and said, "I hereby announced that I have reevaluated this young man's answer-and his score is 120 points." "What?!" Yosil's announcement left everyone-including Mole and the other Kornac's Keep elders turning toward him in shock.

"Huh?! Is that geezer being serious?!" Ira was naturally flustered to hear that Frank's score was suddenly 120 points. "Sir, that brat has been disrespectful and slandering your etmunity! The way I see it, he should be given zero points and chased out of this enclave. Why Would you score him higher than us instead?!" en.kikistories "Exactly!" Kairo exclaimed, clearly unhappy too. "Are you suggesting that we're all wrong, while he's the only one who got it right?" The elders of Kornac's Keep and Mole were scowling as well, though they said nothing.

"Hahaha...." Yosil simply chuckled despite being questioned. "All of you are right. It's just that Mr. Lawrence here has proven to be a class ave en.kikistories เอนด์ Pausing, he then burst out laughing as he pointed at the cauldron. "After all, I did add Augustraff into the soup. I simply made sure to add other herbs that counteract it before the soup boiled, so most of you stood no chance in identifying it." en.kikistories "What?!" Yosil's explanation left everyone stunned.

So Frank's answer was actually right? But if he was, that also meant...

The participants were all scowling, as they realized that they had all been poisoned and would die in three days! Ira turned toward Frank, his face pale as he realized that the man was never trying to show off.

He avoided tasting the soup at all... because he already knew it was poisoned! "Chief..." Mole was feeling embarrassed, as he had drunk the soup too, which was why he had the answers in his mind.
