Chapter: 836

“Go to the next room and wait.”

“… … yes, Your Majesty.”

Vellian was kicked out of the bedroom and pushed into the next room.

‘Is he seriously ill?’

Seeing the condition of the Emperor just a moment ago, he couldn’t deny that his life was in critical condition.

In fact, when Vellian came to the Empress Palace, he was suspicious of Astelle. To be more precise, Astelle and her family.

Did she poison His Majesty?

He had a suspicion that the Emperor was dead but the Empress deceived everyone that he was sick. However, His Majesty the Emperor was unharmed.

Of course, he looked very tired, but… … .

He seemed to come to his senses from time to time even when he was lying in bed.

His Majesty struggled to get a hold of his mind and even ordered to delegate full authority to the Empress.

He couldn’t help but believe that he had become ill so suddenly.

‘First of all, the documents… … .’

He had heard the Emperor’s orders directly, so he had no choice but to fill out the documents.

[Delegation of authority to the empress… … .]

As he was writing those words with trembling hands, he felt the cold reality belatedly.

If the Emperor dies, the young prince becomes the new emperor. His Highness the Crown Prince is now only 5 years old, soon to be 6 years old. The reign will be passed on to the young empress and her family.

His hand holding the sheet of paper was drenched in a cold sweat.

This is because a moment ago, he had a war of nerves with the Empress at the event venue.

Before Astelle became Empress, the relationship between the two wasn’t particularly bad. But after she became the Empress, the relationship became a bit uncomfortable as she went through various things.

Vellian was responsible for a bit of the difficult things Astelle had gone through, so she looked at him with displeasure.

What would happen to his own fate if Astelle became regent?

He was again frightened.

“Vellian.”

As he was thinking about it, the door opened and Astelle come in.
