Chapter 151: A Certain Fragrance
“What are you talking about?”
“The person who shoved me behind my back. When the person approached me from behind, I smelled a certain fragrance from their body.”
Igor’s surprised gaze turned towards her. “You smelled a fragrance? Do you remember what fragrance it was?”
“Yes. It was the smell of a mintbus. I’m definitely sure.”
“If it’s a smell of mint, then it wouldn’t be a commonly used perfume…”
Mints weren’t usually used in making perfumes. It was often used as medicine to relieve pain. This could be used as an important point of evidence.
“It would have been great if I remembered that information sooner, but for some strange reason, I only remembered it after calming down.”
As she spoke as if she was blaming herself, Igor stroked her back reassuringly.
“You’ve done well just by remembering it now. It’s normal that you wouldn’t be able to remember all the details when it all happened so suddenly.”
“Would this be of help at all?”
“I’m definitely sure it will help. We’ll use it in any way to catch the tail of the perpetrator.”
Igor kissed on her forehead.
“Now, go ahead and sleep more. There’s still time until it’s morning again.”
Rihanann nodded her head. She then snuggled up to his chest then fell asleep again. However, Igor couldn’t sleep at all. The one incident that happened in the past wasn’t able to get out of his head.
In the past, among the people that were aiming to murder Rihannan was Count Clovis. This was possible because Count Alessin was still alive back then. Count Alessin was the owner of land that was filled with buried Arcs stones, and the amazing wealth that he owned was plenty enough reason to give anyone greedy thoughts.
However, in this lifetime, Count Alessin had passed away long ago already. All the ownership of the Arc’s stones that he used to own all belonged to Rihannan.
Because of this, he didn’t think that Count Clovis was not the mastermind to this murder attempt, but in this current situation where there was not a single evidence that the enemy left behind, he had to cast at least some suspicion towards them. It was because among the people he knew in the past, the only person who would have enough power to influence the hunting grounds was him.
Igor held Rihannan tight who had fallen deep into sleep. He was willing to do anything to not let this warmth stray away from him again, and was already to do so as well.

Just like the doctor said, her normal lifestyle returned.
As Basil became busy dealing with investigating the hunting grounds, Rihannan stood instead for Basil and helped Igor’s work a little bit at a time.
Thanks to that, she realized just how much he had been overworking Basil. Basil was his personal servant as well as his secretary, and outside he was the Grand Chamberlain who managed the royal treasury. On top of that, in emergency situations, he would also act as the king’s royal bodyguard as well.
“My Queen, please search for His Majesty. He seems to be hiding and I can’t see even a strand of his hair anywhere!”
One day, Basil suddenly came running to her sounding like he was dying with worry, and Rihannan started to immediately feel worried.
“Did you really try everywhere? For such a large-sized man, I don’t think there are any places he could hide so easily.”
“You just don’t know it, My Queen. Ever since he was young, he was a professional at hiding! I spent half my life trying to find him!”
His voice was filled with real emotions of regret. Rihanann quickly nodded before Basil would start talking way too long again.
“All right. I will find him and give that to him personally, so leave that document here.”
Hearing her words, Basil rejoiced and quickly pulled out the bundle of documents from his coat that he handed to Rihannan.
When she checked the document after Basil left, all of the documents were urgent ones that all required approval by today. She now understood why Basil was so anxious.
In any case, just where did he go to?
