Ch 126-127 there were magical ancient artifacts that were stolen by a ex-mage. It was given to the empress to use in the assassination of a prince. Main and duke asked for the master of the arcane arts to testify. He said he will but if they get the artifacts back. But main knows the artifact that records is a dark stain on the imperial family, they want it remained supervised by the imperial family but can allow magicians to do their research. If that deal fails, main also suggests the artifacts be destroyed so no one uses it. The artifacts are useful and powerful, but its use for assassination doesn't look good on both sides, so they can't disclose where these artifacts came from or uses to the public
Ch 115-120 main arranged for mages and doctors together confirm a magic device that can scan a person's body for any medical anomaly. They found that the bitchy girl took the antidote first and then poison. So they kicked her out bc they dont know her reason to do it, she denies it, won't say names. They dont like how she has poison in her possession and kicked her out. Queen mother is unhappy with main but main keeps composed and professional even tho she hates how the queen mother treats her with hate
Ch 106 prince finds the assassin hired by his mom to kill a royal member and questions about the video orb. It did belong to him. Prince only has the copy and no one else so the bitchy girl can't blackmail him now that he knows

Main proposed a different way to use the iron for something else like reinforcing boats but ppl r skeptic bc iron is known to be heavy and not float.
Ch 104-105 queen is being bitchy and purposefully takes the bet as a way to downgrade main for making the rude duke as the bad guy or something. But emperor supports main and her ideas
