{Third Person}
The banquet hall remained under heavy guard long after the guests had been escorted away.
What had once been a place of celebration had transformed into the centre of a royal investigation.
Guards stood at every entrance and exit, preventing anyone from entering or leaving without authorization.
Servants who had participated in the banquet were gathered together and questioned one after another, while investigators carefully examined every table, chair, serving tray, wine bottle, and piece of cutlery that had been used during the evening.
The leader of the royal guards personally supervised the entire operation.
Under King Sebastian's direct orders, nothing was to be overlooked.
Every servant who had handled food or wine was questioned repeatedly. Those who provided useful information were separated from the others for further investigation.
