Chapter: 817

“The butler is investigating His Majesty’s cooks and servants. Please investigate the servants and knights of the Imperial Palace, Sir Lyndon.”

“Alright, Your Majesty.”

“In the meantime, it would be better to keep His Majesty here.”

Lyndon’s eyes shook a little. His anxious eyes turned towards the drawing room for a moment, then returned.

‘You know my father is here too.’

All the entrances to the palace are guarded by soldiers.

The palace soldiers were under the control of the Capital Guards, so there was no way that Lyndon could not have known about it.

Astelle wondered if she should make an excuse for Duke Reston’s being here at this time.

My father came for the festival and he has nothing to do with poisoning? That’s a very poor excuse.

“… … .”

Lyndon looked at Astelle with a confused look. Astelle understood the conflict Lyndon was feeling.

He sympathized with Astelle, but the most suspicious person in the current situation was Astelle’s father, the Duke of Reston.

If the Emperor suddenly dies, the only people who benefit are the Empress and the Reston family.

However, as the knight commander, he could not arrest the empress’ father.

The emperor who could give him orders was poisoned and dying. And if the emperor dies, the only successor is Theor.

Lyndon, who swore allegiance to Kaizen, was obliged to protect his son, Theor.

Astelle took a step closer to Lyndon.

“Sir Lyndon. You have to trust me. I want to save His Majesty at all costs.”

Lyndon seemed to be at odds for a moment and then nodded.

“Of course, I believe in Your Majesty.”

“Trust me and do as I say. For now, the priority is to save His Majesty the Emperor.”

“Is there any chance that His Majesty will recover?”

“I called a pharmacist I know to the palace. I hope she can find a way to save him.”

All this chaos will end if Kaizen wakes up.

So I have to save him.
