A Fallen Knight-Lost art of Necromancy

Chapter 35: Trap

"Dumb people are egoistic"

----------------

[There is a central council who is responsible for maintaining the balance of powers between gods. They keep a check on them so they don't fight and create chaos]

"Do god also fight?", Severus asked in an intriguing manner.

Of course. They do! Jealousy is their only motivation. ]

Severus"..."

If gods are like this then what can he expect from mortals?

"Anyways you can't say that I wanted to die. I just took a risk"

[What risk?]

"I am no fool and when events started unfolding in front of me one by one, I knew something was wrong. To-be-honest, I never want to experience that life again. A life filled with despair and boredom, so I took a risk. I wanted to test my powers"

[You.is this the way to test your powers? You could have died that day if not for him? Do you understand?]

"Yes, I do noworry. I very well do but I don't know why would he save me? You remember our first meeting when he tried to scam us."

[Yes. I can never forgive that scammer]

Severus "...."

"He was earlier asking for money but when he saw my face clearly he tried to ignore me and then when I fainted, he came to our rescue. If things would have not happened the way they did, I would have thought that it was an accident but it wasn't the case. No one, not even Crown prince and Melanie are aware of the Icetra herb and its consequences then how come he knew about it?"

[Why is it so suspicious? It's just an herb. I understand about its rarity, but I don't think he would serve you poison directly. If he was aware that it's poison, then he wouldn't have given you so directly. Sigh, what trouble. I don't understand why he wants to kill you? Very few people know about your reincarnation and I don't think anyone from them wants to kill you. Moreover, for a crime to happen there needs to be a motive but I am failing to see any logic here. Just why the heck he wants to kill you?]

"Who told you that he served me poison directly? You are still underestimating him. He is far cleverer than we thought. If we talk about motive then if he knew about my reincarnation then this is more than enough explanation as to why he wants to kill me."

[You are not making sense Severus]

"Am I not? Sigh, Dum noworry. That bowl of poison was indeed a bowl of the medicinal herb. That bowl of soup almost contained the rarest of rare medicine and herb and for duping me he even added the pungent smell"

[Are u kidding me? How is he smart if he added the smell of that herb? If he is that smart, then I am sure that he would have known that you might identify the poison. Why did he make such a stupid mistake?]

"It wasn't a mistake noworry. That is what I am trying to tell you. He added medicines in the bowl so that I can drink it."

[Are you saying it was a trap?]

"Finally. You understood. Phewww", Severus exhaled.

Noworry [...]

Did my brain really get rusted? I can't become dumb.

No!!!!!!!!!!!
