"You're here, Crown Prince."

"What about Your Majesty?"

"It's the same today. I think it's gotten worse...."

The Knight guarding the front of the bedroom shook his head.

"But Your Majesty will be pleased that Your Royal Highness has come. Your Majesty awaits your arrival."

"I see."

Perez answered briefly.

However, a little twist in one's mouth was unbearable.

The Emperor must be waiting for his time to come.

There was a rattling noise from the tray of tea in his hand.

"Open the door."

"Yes, Your Grace."

The loyal knights quickly opened the door to the Emperor's bedroom.

Twice a day, Perez's arrival time was fixed, so all the maids had already left.

"You're late."

Yovanes said, with an intrusive breath.

It was always the same thing.

Next to the bed were several small pieces of vases that seemed to have been broken by Yovanes without defeating his temper.

"I will prepare the tea."

Perez prepared the tea as usual.

In a cup, a little larger than a regular one, a warm tea was put into Yovanes' hands.

Even with his hands trembling, unable to breathe well, Yovanes quickly accepted the cup.

"Strangely, when I drink this tea, it's a little easier to breathe."

Yovanes said so and gulped down the tea.

Perez's gaze watched it from a distance.

"One more drink."

Yovanes hastily drank tea and emptied the second glass.

"Hmm, yes. That's better."

Yovanes said, sweeping his chest with a satisfied face.

While lying in his bed, he lost weight, and the generous appearance of the past has become unimaginably thin and dry.

However, only the unpleasant gaze toward Perez in those eyes was still there.

"That day after tomorrow is your celebration."

"That's right."

Perez remained motionless on the spot, still with his hands behind his back.

Yovanes laughed at the sight.

"Behind the scenes, how bad will it be? The Crown Prince of the Great Empire, just like you, has become a man of low blood, mixed with it."

It was Yovanes who coveted the lowly maid and brought a life out of the world.

However, there was no such guilt in Yovanes' gaze at Perez.

"I should have saved Astana, I should have done it."

That's what Yovanes has been saying a lot lately.

As if he thought that word would provoke Perez.

But Perez always responded with a blank expression.

Like now.

"At least...ahh...Astana...hngg...unlike you..arrogant..."

Yovanes stopped talking.
