Chapter 520

"Your Majesty, it seems that Duke Peletta, who had stayed until the end, has finally left Cantameria Palace. Additionally, the Empress has also arrived safely at the Dawn Palace."

"Is that so?"

After the party had ended and all the visitors had left Cantameria Palace, Emperor Keilusa was in his own residence, the Sun Palace. His face, now free from the weight of his elaborate clothing and makeup, showed unmistakable signs of deep fatigue.

Seeing the Emperor's condition worsen beyond the usual, the chief attendant cautiously mentioned a potent yet dangerous herb known for its strong analgesic effects.

"Would you require tea infused with Ponesa?"

"No, the usual will suffice."

By "the usual," he meant tea made from herbs sent by the Empress. The chief attendant quietly brewed a pale green tea and placed it before the Emperor. Only after sipping half of it did the Emperor's complexion slightly improve.

Holding the steaming cup, he soon spoke in a neutral tone.

"How is Baron Aile's condition?"

"Given that Duke Peletta left without any word, it appears there was no significant issue. Baron Aile was able to walk on his own and even joined the Duke in the carriage."

"That's a relief. What about Baron Durmand?"

"He has yet to regain consciousness but is undergoing treatment. According to the palace physicians, his symptoms are mild and he should be able to rise by tomorrow. Several people requested to visit and care for him, but all were denied. Knights are stationed around him to guard against any possible assassination attempts."

Though the questions were similar, the chief attendant's response was far colder than when speaking about Yuder Aile before. The Emperor's gaze also mirrored this coldness.

"Instruct that no one is to meet with him until Duke Peletta sends the results of the investigation regarding the liquor he brought in."

"Yes."

"Also, thoroughly investigate who leaked information to Duke Diarca today, and look into their circumstances as well..."

The Emperor continued to issue a series of commands without pause. His voice seemed to waver, but the chief attendant nodded without questioning. Only after concluding the official matters did the Emperor pause to sip his now-cooled tea.

Upon reopening his eyes, his expression seemed softer than during official discourse but nonetheless complicated.

"...Yuliver."

"Yes."

"What do you make of the words Duke Peletta said to me earlier?"

The chief attendant, who typically gave immediate responses, unusually hesitated to answer this question.

Today's party had gone in unexpected directions. Duke Peletta was scheduled to display his will alongside the Cavalry on behalf of the Emperor. That had happened, but the way it unfolded puzzled everyone.

No one had foreseen the dance between Duke Peletta and Yuder Aile. The Cavalry had moved as though they had been waiting for this cue.

Both the aristocrats led by Duke Diarca and the Emperor himself were shocked by the actions of his brother and his assistant. Naturally, summoning Kishiar was the immediate consequence.

"I too will have to reconsider aspects I hadn't thought of before. Two heads are better than one in reaching a better conclusion, so don't worry too much."

Her comforting words seemed to understand the shock and concern the Emperor felt. Swallowing the rising pain and sentimentality in his chest, the Emperor nodded quietly.

"My apologies, but as your servant, I only consider matters that won't cause you concern."

As the Emperor concluded his thoughts on Kishiar and exhaled deeply, Yuliver, the chief attendant, bowed his head. It was not that the Emperor had sought significant advice from him, so he did not blame him.

"Yes, it will all become clear when I meet him again."

""

Confidence, reason, and ambition.

The Emperor murmured these words as he closed his eyes, pondering what Kishiar had mentioned gaining through Yuder Aile.
