Forbidden Books

"What? Only three books!?"

Leon was rendered speechless upon seeing the three tomes on his desk.

He had expected Lyra to bring a multitude of books, but the reality of only three caused his happiness to crumble.

Quickly, he turned his gaze to Lyra behind him and inquired, "Lyra, why are there only three books? Aren't there supposed to be numerous books related to poisons in the outer palace library?"

Leon's tone carried a hint of disappointment, but it lacked any trace of anger.

He was aware that Lyra was not a careless person, and he was certain that there must be a reason behind it.

Upon hearing Leon's question, Lyra, maintaining her composed demeanor, replied, "Indeed, the outer palace library has numerous books on poisons, Your Majesty Leon."

"However, the majority of them may no longer be useful to you, as the content and information about the poisons contained within are likely similar to the books you've previously read."
