Chapter: 853

Astelle thought deeply as she heard that question.

‘What should I do now?’

Only the three of them here, Hannah and Gretel know that the Emperor has recovered.

“Sir Seibel.”

Astelle turned to Seibel.

Currently, only half of the knights Seibel brought are in the capital. The other half is said to be hiding in the suburbs disguised as commoners.

The battalions left in the north are also returning to the capital one after another. But to others, Seibel only returned to the capital with only a small number of battalions in a hurry.

“Can we secretly bring the knights who are staying in the suburbs to the capital?”

“I can bring them all in by the end of the day,” Seibel answered confidently.

Astelle said to Fritz after receiving his confirmation.

“If we’re going to sort things up, we have to make sure everything is done at once.”

“That means… … .”

“I will hide His Majesty’s recovery and call in the ministers. First of all, let’s get rid of our father.”

The Duke of Reston passed through the entrance to the Empress Palace.

The Empress Palace was quieter than expected.

For the past few days, the Emperor stayed here and it was bustling because of the maids and servants running around, but today the atmosphere has calmed down.

‘I heard that the Emperor is still in bad shape.’

The servant who poisoned the emperor had already been killed. The Duke of Reston heard the news from inside the palace through another servant. He said the Emperor’s condition was slowly deteriorating.

For some reason, the poison’s final effect was slower than he expected. He thought the Emperor would be out of breath at this time.

‘Is it because he is still young and healthy?’

He’ll die in a few days anyway.

Even if it isn’t because of the poison, if he lays down for a long time unconscious, he has no choice but to die from losing a lot of stamina.

Astelle had summoned the pharmacist she knew to the Empress Palace to treat the Emperor.

Astelle thoroughly kept the emperor’s doctor in the Empress Palace and prevented him from even taking a step outside the palace.
