Chapter: 909

After a while, Lyndon, who had gone out of the palace, appeared again.

“Your Majesty. What’s going on?”

“… … .”

Kaizen had ordered to add drugs to the duke’s food which slowly made him sick and die.

The only person who knew about it was the servant in charge of the food going to the abandoned palace.

He didn’t have to tell many people, including Lyndon in front of him.

But Astelle seemed to still think about the duke even a little bit. It was understandable since the duke is her biological father.

Originally, Kaizen was going to do it slowly, but he changed his mind.

Kaizen decided to put an end to this troublesome problem for Astelle’s sake.

“Send a doctor to heal Duke Reston, even if by force.”

“Your Majesty, do you mean… … .”

“A sick person can die suddenly,” replied Kaizen after looking back into the room where Astelle is for a while.

That means getting rid of him quickly and quietly.

Lyndon understood the emperor’s will and bowed down.

“I will obey your orders.”

***

The Duke of Reston, lying in bed, struggled to get up to see how much time had passed.

A small candle flickered pitifully in the dark room.

It was already midnight.

Outside the window, he could see a dark sky.

The duke lay back on the bed.

There is no energy left in his body and he has a fever, the air is also very cold.

Saying it hurts wasn’t a lie.

Trapped in such a pit of dust, as time went on, his whole body weakened and ached here and there.

‘Don’t tell me someone put drugs on my food?’
