The emperor shouted.

Bring a doctor now!

The servant hurriedly stepped forward, and the knight held her.

But she still hasnt woken up. Outside the room, I saw a doctor running to the knight.

After she was returned to the palace, in the midst of the chaos, peoples eyes turned to one person.

They looked at the Empress Dowager who didnt know what to do.

No way did she really instigate poisoning?

The Empress Dowager could not avoid the suspicion that she had collapsed because of her.

N-no. I, Im just trying to find a weakness to stop Deglid from getting involved.

Mother!!

The emperors roar echoed in the room. The Empress Dowager, who was holding her hands tightly, said

A-Alex

How dare you disappoint me. How long do I have to bear with what my mother did-!

H-how can you say such a cruel thing? I cant see the slightest respect in your eyes. How can you treat me like this

The Empress Dowagers eyes trembled, but the anger in the Emperors eyes did not fade.

Sitting on the golden throne, he gave orders to the knights in a low voice.

Take mother back to the palace. In the future, the door to the Empress Dowagers palace will not be opened without my order.

Alexander!!

The Empress Dowager screamed, but the knights approached the Empress.

The Empress Dowager did not stop shouting even while being dragged out.

The emperor became expressionless. The strange thing was that when he was expressionless, the real him appeared. The real Alexander Louerg, who was sitting at the cold and lonely throne.

So, what are you going to say to me?

I flinched at the emperors voice and met his gaze.

Ah, I got permission to enter the Imperial Palace with the excuse that I have something to tell him.

Did your father have something to tell me?

So oh, that.

I could use suwon or long-distance teleportation as an excuse, but I hesitated to answer. The emperor had suffered from a young age because of the Empress Dowager.

The emperor was educated by my godmother instead of the Empress Dowager, I could see how their relationship was.

My godmother is a good person, but she had a child, Grand Duke Locard. No matter how sincere my godmother was to the emperor, how would he feel when he saw her and her child? I could understand that because of Duke Amity and Mina.

It wasnt just that. The Empress Dowager constantly causes trouble. When the Empress Dowager was angry with the Emperor, he ended up being discriminated against by his own family. To fix the situation, he had to sacrifice his youth to make a contribution on the battlefield.

I had lived with Duke Vallua before, so I could understand the emperors heart. I understand because I have lived with problematic parents, and the pain they inflict was worse than any other pain. What was needed in that lonely moment was a human touch.

So what the Emperor needs now

I glanced at Cecilia, who was stunned and looked at the emperor.

His Majesty seemed to be in pain today. I dont want to leave you alone. Cecilia could heal sick people. So, she will be able to heal His Majestys heart.

Are you making fun of me?

The emperors gaze turned to Cecilia. She was bewildered for a moment.

Come on, Cecilia.

I grunted silently, pulling her sleeves, soon she cautiously stepped forward.

Can I come to your side?

Youre making fun of me.

I want to go there.

.

Ill go there.

Cecilia slowly approached him. Sitting alone on the throne, he slowly lowered his head as she drew closer. Finally, when his head fell completely, he hugged Cecilias waist.

You are mean.

Cecilia, who was looking at the emperor with a puzzled face, stroked his hair very carefully.

Her golden hair, very similar to Adrian, ran softly between her fingers.

Yes, Your Majesty. Im mean.

Damn it. Stay by my side.

Yes.

The servant slowly dispersed. The emperors chamberlain made a way for me and told me to go back.

Guided by the hand of the chamberlain, I got out and looked inside the door that was closing little by little.

The emperor, who had collapsed from the lonely throne, was hugging Cecilias waist with his head lowered as Cecilia gently stroked the lonely mans back.

They suit each other quite well.

I smiled and left the palace.

***

That evening, I stared at the sloppy writing in my notebook with the pen in my mouth.

[Deglids collapse in the palace is staged.]

However, the emperor would immediately call the doctor. The doctor is on the emperors side, so if he checked her, it would be easily revealed that she was not poisoned.

And theres no way she would do such a thing.

I shook my head and put a cross mark on the sentence.

[Its really poison.]

No, the Empress Dowager could have tried to kill her no matter how stupid she was.

Theres no reason. Its absurd to even think of poisoning her. Theres the 3rd and 4th test left.

The Empress Dowager was never hostile to Deglid.

After another cross mark, I looked at the last sentence.

[She had a disease.]

On the day of the second test, I remembered how she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed.

Anyway, this is probably it. She already had a disease but collapsed at the wrong time. What kind of a disease is it?

She would have received great care from the doctors already.

Is it an unusual disease?

A unique disease that develops suddenly. I hesitated and read the end of the note.

I quickly pulled out the communication device.

[Hello, Leblaine. How have you been?]

Henrys friendly voice came from the device.

Does Deglid have divine powers?

Henry answered when I asked the questions because I was in a hurry.

[Probably.]

Probably?

[There was a time when she led the Holy Knights and participated in the war. The Emperor kept her in check, so he did not reveal the details, but the fact that she led the Holy Knights means that there is something there, doesnt it? Although she ran away from the battlefield.]

She ran away?

[Yes. She withdrew from the battlefield with the excuse of an illness.]

When was that? Where was the battlefield?

[Duchy of Nutra, it was winter 30 years ago. She left the knights behind, but there was no problem when she was treated.]

Little by little, the puzzles began to fit together. I laughed wickedly.

Maybe this will be beneficial to us.

[It is?]

I know her disease. She didnt run away from the battlefield.

[But the doctors couldnt figure it out. Even until now.]

Thats because its a special disease that ordinary doctors will never know.

Haro flower allergy.

[She got haro flower allergy?]

Yes, I have it too so I knew about her symptoms.

[If she has collapsed, it means that there are halo flowers in the Imperial Palace.

[Haro flower?!]

[Theres a haro flower!]

I could hear Isaacs and Johanns voice suddenly.

Its okay, I have brought the medicine. If the symptoms are not severe, that is sufficient Oh my God.

I realized something and dropped the pen.

If she had collapsed, her symptoms would have been serious!

I need a doctor from the future.

But I cant bring a doctor from the future, and no matter how knowledgeable I am, I cant cure a disease perfectly like a doctor!

Then, I suddenly remembered someone.

[I wish you could call me uncle.]

[So, what will you do for me, your lifesaver?]

[How about I get a kiss from my cute nephew?]

An illegitimate child of the former Duke Dubblede, my father and aunts half-brother.

A mad doctor who was rumored to have tested a thousand people without permission.

A madman who poisoned his half brothers at the age of 15.

Taylor Dubblede can heal her.

But how could I get help from Taylor Dubblede! I screamed silently, holding my head with both hands.

***

But I cannot give up just because it is difficult. As long as I help her, I would get a gold mine.

I went out with the permission of the emperor.

When I said I could help him solve the incident, he immediately allow me to go out.

[If you can help me with this, Ill reward you. I promise you.]

I broke the news to my dad and ended up heading to Taylor Dubblede with Henry and Isaac. I believe in Taylor Dubblede but my dad doesnt so he told Henry and Isaac to go with me in case of an emergency.

I looked at Henry and Ishaq, who had a grim look on their faces.

But dad, I dont think they could help me when theres an emergency theyll probably be the one to make the emergency.

Isaac was already holding his scabbard and Henry was ready to use his aura.

What, why are you looking at me with such cute eyes?

Leblaine has always been cute.

With a tired face, I lowered my head, took a deep breath, and extended my index finger.

Were going to persuade Taylor to help us. So dont do anything reckless.

I continued.

Hes there.

I pointed to the dining room where Taylor was with my index finger.

Isaac looked displeased but soon he and Henry said, Alright.

After I took a deep breath and made up my mind, I opened the door of the dining room. It was empty.

Not here?

As I was tilting my head, I heard a chuckle from the kitchen. Isaac banged on the kitchen door as we could hear a womans scream.

And then someone walked out. It wasnt the screaming woman, it was a tall man.

A half-open shirt, traces of lipstick smeared on his lips, combined with his alluring face and black hair. He looked similar to father, but more decadent and languid.

Taylor Dubblede.

Henry was frozen and Isaac muttered, Youre crazy. as they covered my eyes.

What are you doing in the kitchen, crazy guy.

As I pushed their hands away, Isaac frowned and said.

Dont look at things like that.

Yes, Leblaine.

I said with my eyes wide open.

I know it all.

Isaac said with a snort.

What do you know?

I know. Theyre doing human reproduction.

When I put my hands on my waist and spoke with a triumphant expression, for some reason, the situation became awkward.
