Chapter 702 Questioning
The rain was pouring down heavily, and if it weren't for the clock, no one would have known that daybreak had already arrived.

Al Scholz spread jam on the bread, put a slice of cheese on it, and started eating happily.

Frederick came down from upstairs and Grete immediately brought him bread and hot tea.

"I know who the real princess is," whispered Al Scholz.

Frederick was a little curious, but just as he was about to ask, Rose and Renate came down from upstairs together.

After some polite greetings, the two sat down at the dining table and Gretel served them breakfast.

Elscholz asked Rose, "Princess, did you sleep well last night?"

Rose said, "Thank you for your hospitality. The mattress is very comfortable and I slept soundly."

Elscholz asked again, "Ms. Renate, did you get a good rest last night?"

Renate hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered, "I'm sorry, I felt something under the mattress hitting my back last night, and I didn't sleep well."

Elscholz pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, I'm so sorry."

"Ansel, go make Miss Renate's bed right now."

"Ms. Renate, I will make the bed this time so you can have a good sleep."

Renate said politely, "Thank you very much."

Elscholz and Frederick complained about the weather and talked about the surrounding geographical environment for a while, and everyone finished breakfast quickly.

Rose and Renate still felt tired and soon went back to the guest room to continue sleeping.

Frederick glanced at Elscholz. The tiredness of the two men seemed a little abnormal.

Elscholz motioned for him to wait for a moment, and only after making sure that both of them were asleep did he say, "Renate is a real princess. I put a pea under the mattress. The fact that she could feel it means that she has lived a luxurious life since she was a child."

Frederick thought what she said made sense.

Elscholz asked him curiously, "What do you want to do? Save the beauty or turn a blind eye?"

Frederick smiled and said, "If I were a knight with a sense of justice, I would definitely choose to rescue the princess without hesitation."

Elscholz was a little confused and asked, "Can you tell me the reason?"

Frederick said: "A knight only needs to consider to whom his sword serves, but I have to consider many things."

Elscholz understood what he meant and shook his head, saying, "I moved to the forest because I was annoyed by you politicians."

Frederick smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I envy you guys for being so free and unrestrained."

"That's easy." Elscholz rolled his eyes at him, "Let's switch places."

Frederick gestured to the height of his palm and said, "You will have to produce documents this thick every day."

Elscholz immediately shook his head and said, "Forget about dealing with the documents. I'll just help you spend the money."

After joking, she looked Frederick in the eyes and said seriously: "I don't think the fake will let the real princess go in the end. She must be eliminated."

"I can be sure that you will not watch the real princess die."

"I think you will let the fake princess go and not expose her, so as to prepare for the future."

"I'm curious, what would you do?"

Frederick pointed to the alchemical jars around him and said, "It's not about how I do it, but what the real princess wants to do."

"When she sees this, she will definitely know that you are quite powerful. If she wants to save herself, she will definitely ask you for help."

Frederick was not clear about the situation of the two men. It seemed that his subordinates were rebelling, but what was the reason? Was it for their own selfish interests, or was it taking the opportunity to take revenge? Or was it even a game between the two of them? It would be difficult to act rashly before understanding. After hearing Frederick's reasons, Elscholz also hesitated, thinking that it would be better to clarify the matter.

She thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you keep Rose busy, and I'll go find Renate and ask her clearly."

"Some girls live in a too safe environment and haven't seen bad guys for more than ten years. If they are suddenly threatened, they will be frightened and dare not say anything, thus missing the opportunity to save themselves."

Frederick thought it made sense at first, but he immediately discovered the problem: "You said you were frightened and didn't dare to tell the truth, so how can you make her tell the truth?"

Al Scholz said proudly: "Don't forget, I am an alchemist!"

Frederick understood that it seemed that she had a potion that could make people tell the truth.

The two discussed it and began to prepare.

Rose slept until the afternoon and woke up. Al Scholz was drinking tea and the snack was the annual ring cake he had made in the morning experiment.

The formula is now close to success and is expected to be completed in two or three days.

Frederick sat on the sofa and carefully examined the painting tools and paints he brought with him.

Rose sat aside and asked curiously, "Can you draw?"

Frederick nodded and said, "Yes, now I make a living from this."

Rose immediately asked: "Then can you draw a picture for me?"

Frederick replied: "No problem, Your Highness."

"What kind of painting do you want?"

Rose thought for a moment and said, "Can you draw a full-length portrait of me, with the background in the garden..."

She turned to Al Scholz and asked, "Al Scholz, do you have a recliner here?"

Elscholz replied, "I have one in my study. If you need it, I can arrange it for you."

Rose said excitedly, "Is it really possible? Thank you so much!"

Next it was Al Scholz's turn to show off his skills.

The rooftop terrace was windy and rainy, but in a moment, the glowing white clouds blocked the wind and rain. Flowers surrounded it, and a red velvet lounge chair was placed among the flowers. There was a coffee table next to it, with a golden cup brought by Rose on it.

Rose wore a long dress made of five-color silk and lay on the lounge chair, looking like she was taking a nap among the flowers.

Frederick started to work, and Bellberk stopped making the annual ring cake and helped him.

Not long after, Renate woke up and went downstairs in a daze.

Al Scholz invited her over to taste the cake and poured her tea.

Renate drank half a cup of tea and ate a piece of cake. Suddenly, she felt a little dizzy. She touched her forehead and it was a little hot.

Seeing this, Elscholz immediately said, "Oh, poor girl, you may have caught a cold. I will help you go back to your room to rest."

Renate wanted to reply, but she was so dazed at the moment, as if sleepwalking, that she couldn't say anything as Elscholz helped her walk into the fireplace and then disappeared into the chimney.

Gretel and Ansel were making annual ring cakes. They just took a look and continued with their work.

The chimney leads to a secret underground room where Ehrscholz prepares his secret potions, with a lounge to the side.

She put Renate on the sofa and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you and what's your name?"
