The garden arbor bathed in brilliant sunlight.
Fel, who had been perfectly fine just moments ago, suddenly collapsed.
I had heard he was physically weak, but I never knew his condition could deteriorate so rapidly.
And to say the cause is unknown—just what kind of illness is this?
At the same time, I am currently being feared by Terry, who holds Fel in his arms.
With an expression unable to hide his terror, he nevertheless raised his voice to protect his younger brother.
"W-what did you slip to my brother!?"
"Slip?"
"It's poison, isn't it! I've been saying all along that it's strange for him to get sick so suddenly! They say you're the only irreverent one trying to kill us!"
Terry's words become childish.
Yet the content is not something a child should say.
Terry believes Fel has been poisoned.
Moreover, it seems those around him have been saying I am the culprit.
Just what are they filling a six-year-old's head with?
"Every time he eats, he's the only one who gets sick! What kind of poison did you use!? It's strange that no one can figure it out! Why would you do this!"
They must have already investigated the possibility of poisoning thoroughly, and only concluded Fel was sickly because they still couldn't find the reason.
There should be food tasters as well, so if we consider poisoning, it certainly seems strange.
But right now, I also saw his condition worsen after eating.
"Was there poison in those sweets?"
"That's impossible! I prepared today's sweets after consulting with Mother, and I tasted them for poison too! They're made from the same ingredients! I tried so hard to ensure no poison could be introduced!"
Despite the malicious misunderstandings from the adults around them, Terry seems to have done everything for his younger brothers.
Of course, there were likely those who tasted the food before Terry, yet even they failed to detect any poison.
Of course, I didn't slip him any poison.
But it's true he was energetic just moments ago, so I understand suspecting poisoning.
But why did he collapse as if targeting only Fel?
"I only touched what the two of them chose and brought to me. They were eating the same things, and Warner ate them without any iss..."
Come to think of it, Warner had said something.
That his throat felt scratchy.
I had heard that expression somewhere before, where was it, when? Yes, once in my previous life...
"It can't be!"
I peered into Fel's face, which Terry was holding and I couldn't see well.
While his complexion had merely been poor until moments ago, now his lips were visibly red and swollen.
"An allergy!?"
"What are you doing! Don't touch Fel!"
"Wait, calm down! Fel is in danger if we leave him like this!"
Though Terry held him, Fel's hand that I touched was terribly cold.
Fel and Warner, twins with identical faces, must be monozygotic twins.
Of the two who should share the same constitution, only Fel showed symptoms.
In other words, the ingredient Warner disliked because it made his throat scratchy was the one causing the allergic reaction?
"Stop it! What are you doing to Fel!? Give him back!"
I take Fel from the reluctant Terry.
But I don't know how to treat an allergy either.
Electronic dictionaries with home medical guides only say to take the patient to a doctor.
There's also the EpiPen, but even if I knew what kind of medicine it was, I couldn't make one here immediately.
"This will be hard, but I'm sorry!"
I wrap my finger in a handkerchief and put it into Fel's mouth.
I'm bitten reflexively, but saving Fel takes priority now.
Enduring the pain, I press the base of his tongue to induce the vomiting reflex.
"What are you doing!?"
Finally, Terry's guards move, but Ikuto stops them.
"Fel! Vomit what you ate!"
I remove my finger, lay him face down, and pat his back.
Fel vomited with a pained voice.
"Ueh, eh, eh..."
He starts crying, but not yet, I'm sorry.
"Hold your breath. Drink water."
When I put water in his mouth with magic, he swallowed it despite his distress.
I make him endure the hardship of vomiting it out again.
"Stop it! Stop it!"
"Fel? Fel? Why?"
At the spectacle, both Terry and Warner begin to cry.
Terry in particular comes to stop me, flailing his arms wildly to strike me.
"I'm sorry. I can't think of any other way to help!"
Fel, being made to vomit, is so out of breath that his face is a mess and he can barely even cry.
But I couldn't think of anything other than performing something like gastric lavage.
"Your Highness Asha! What in the world is this treatment?"
Ikuto asks with a pained expression.
Looking over, Ikuto was holding back Terry's guards, who were trying to stop me by force.
The guards have the advantage in build.
Yet Ikuto suppresses them unarmed without even drawing his sword, probably because he's using joint locks.
However, it seems he won't last long against the difference in physique through brute force.
"It's the Crab Curse! Fel ate something he shouldn't have!"
"Eh, crab?"
Ikuto relaxes for a moment in surprise.
But then he notices something and his expression becomes severe.
Immediately throwing Terry's guards aside to distance them, he comes over here.
"Since you made him vomit, does that mean...?"
"The swollen lips are for the same reason. If this swelling goes down..."
"Then, excuse me."
"Whoa!?"
I was suddenly picked up by Ikuto.
At the same time, I can see maids, attendants, guards, and patrol soldiers rushing over in a group.
Everyone had detected the abnormality from Ikuto's whistle and ran here.
And because Terry and the others are crying loudly in plain sight, it's no wonder they're ready to kill.
I know this is bad, but I feel like it would be even more dangerous to stay here.
"Don't use healing magic or rapid recovery! That will worsen Fel's condition! Absolutely don't do it! He could die at worst! But anything Warner ate without issue should be fine!"
While being carried by Ikuto, I left as many warnings as I could.
I hope someone hears them.
Ikuto dashes into the trees of the garden.
And without stopping, he headed toward the entrance where Revan was.
"Hmm? What's this now?"
Revan, who had been glaring at the garden, raises his voice upon spotting Ikuto carrying me.
"What in the world happened for the whistle to be blown?"
"We found the lost twins and were guiding them when the younger brother suddenly collapsed."
"Wha, that's! Again!? Please give me a break! And don't you ever learn?"
Revan seems to recall what happened when he met Terry before.
But Revan has no right to talk about learning from mistakes.
"I'll ask just to be sure, but poison..."
"Impossible."
Ikuto strongly denies Revan's rude question.
"It's poison, yet not poison. An illness, yet not an illness. Just like the Crab Curse."
"Huh? A curse?"
"Anyway, Prince Asha happened to be present. And though the method was somewhat rough, he induced vomiting on the spot to remove the causative food. I blew the whistle, but I will report to Count Strateg myself later that this was an appropriate emergency."
"Wait, where do you intend to go? You think you'll get away with harming the Prince?"
"Which prince are you referring to?"
Ikuto asks in a low voice of the guard who is usually stationed at the entrance.
Confronted with Ikuto's murderous intent, the entrance guard could not retort.
There are heavy penalties for harming a member of the imperial family, but of course that applies to me as an imperial prince as well.
If I'm at fault here, I suppose he knows the Emperor would be angry.
But right now, I don't care about such things.
"I wonder if Fel is okay?"
We were finally celebrating his recovery, yet I made them cry.
Terry was afraid of me, and surely Warner will also be frightened by my sudden actions.
Perhaps Fel might never be allowed to meet me again.
That would be very sad.
Sad as it is, I was more worried about my younger brothers than that.
Regular Update
Next: Attempted Assassination of the Imperial Prince 5
Wait, I need to check the exact formatting of the last two lines. The user said "preserve paragraph structure and line breaks". So I should keep them as separate lines.
Also, checking "皇子暗殺未遂" - this translates to "Attempted Assassination of the Imperial Prince" or "Attempted Regicide of the Crown Prince". Given Asha is the protagonist and he's being accused, this is likely the chapter title referring to the false accusation against him.
One final check on "蟹の呪い" - throughout the text, this is treated as a proper noun condition. I should capitalize it as "Crab Curse" or keep it as "the Crab Curse".
Also "アレルギー" - this is the modern word "allergy" written in katakana. Since this is a fantasy setting where the protagonist has reincarnated knowledge, he uses this modern term while others don't understand it. I should use "allergy" or "anaphylaxis"? The text uses "アレルギー" so "allergy" is correct.

"出入り口" = entrance/exit.
"警護" = bodyguard/guard.
"巡廻兵" = patrol soldiers.
"侍女" = maids.
"侍従" = attendants.
"笛" = whistle.
"侯爵" = Marquis/Count (Strateg).
"不敬者" = irreverent one/insolent one.
"盛った" = slipped (poison) into.

I think I have everything I need. I'll proceed with the translation.The garden arbor bathed in brilliant sunlight.
