Chapter: 838

Vellian politely bowed and walked out.

He let out a sigh as he stepped out into the cold hallway.

Knights and servants were still coming and going in the hallway. Everyone seemed busy and no one paid any attention to him.

At a glance, it seemed that he had no chance to discover new information here.

As he was blankly walking down the hallway, he saw a strange woman from one side entering somewhere.

She is not the empress’ maid.

‘Who is she?’

Belatedly, he remembered that the woman was a pharmacist summoned by Astelle.

The Empress even ordered him to find a suitable building for the young pharmacist to build something like a laboratory and pharmacy.

Out of curiosity, he passed the building and glanced at the pharmacist.

‘The Empress summoned that pharmacist to the capital not too long ago.’

Why is she here?

He concluded that perhaps Astelle had called her to ask if there was any medicine for the Emperor.

But at that moment, there was one question that crossed his mind.

‘Is there any medicine that makes you feel weak and dead?’

It was unbelievable.

But until a few months ago, Vellian couldn’t even imagine that there was a medicine to change eye color.

As Vellian walked down the hallway shrouded in darkness, he repeated the ominous question that arose in his mind.

If she is a pharmacist who’s good enough to make a medicine that changes eye color, isn’t it possible to make medicine that kills people by making their bodies slowly weaken?

For the next few days, Astelle took the place of the Emperor and took care of the harvest festival until it was over.

Vellian also apparently helped Astelle well.

The palace looked quite peaceful from the outside.

Although it was still under strict surveillance, the inside of the palace was running in perfect order as usual.

It was surprising given that the Emperor is now dying from poison.
