Chapter: 863

“The Emperor… … .” The Duke of Reston muttered blankly.

The Emperor is alive?

“His Majesty has ordered me to bring the Duke to the Imperial Palace right now,” Seibel gave the command with cold eyes.

The Duke listened to him with a puzzled look.

His henchman, who was by his side, tried to grab the sword, but the knights who followed Seibel were much faster.

In an instant, several blades were aimed at the two of them.

The Duke of Reston managed to come to his senses and asked, “… … is the emperor safe?”

“His Majesty has recovered his energy and is dealing with the overdue work in the Imperial Palace.”

“… … .”

The Duke of Reston understood the situation later.

‘Astelle deceived me.’

He instantly realized how all this had happened.

“That cunning girl… … .!”

“Duke, if you disrespect the Empress any further, you will not receive the least respect from me and my knights.” Seibel gave a stern warning.

It means that if he keeps saying that, he will be dragged away like an ordinary sinner.

The Duke shouted, “Is she out of her mind? If I become a traitor and die, the Crown Prince won’t be safe either.”

“You misunderstood something. His Majesty the Emperor has ordered punishment for the raids of the nobles on the Knights. This has nothing to do with treason. It also has nothing to do with the Duke.”

The Duke of Reston looked at him with a stupid look he didn’t usually show.

I don’t understand what the hell this is all about.

“Then what are you taking me for?”

“I will take you to the Imperial Palace for a while as a witness to this case.” Seibel gave a blatant answer without wavering an inch.

“Ha… … .”

The Duke of Reston finally realized what the Emperor and Astelle were trying to do with him.

The reason why Astelle persuaded them to attack the Knights.

‘She did this to cover up the attempt to poison the emperor.’
