"Sorry what?"
The doctor who had been looking at the floor all the way was now puzzled and stared at .
"I asked if there are any withered buds or flowers of Agiodita that havent blood yet."
"I haven't checked that. What is needed for the antidote is Agiodita flower in full bloom If it does not contain vitality, nothing will work for us, Your Majesty."
The doctor added an explanation. Did he think that I wanted to try my luck with unopened buds or dead flowers?
The doctor hasnt yet seen my abilities. And this surprise was self-evident. But I didn't have such a ridiculous idea. I could use my ability as long as there were flowers left, even if it was a bud or a dead plant.
Because I had the ability to give life to plants.
If the flowers bloom, it will be Raymond's salvation.
I will have to show my hidden abilities to several people, but that wasn't important. It was more important to save Raymond.
"Herrington, send an ergency ssage to the Holy Land imdiately to see if they have any buds or dead flowers."
"Yes?"
"I'll take care of what cos after that. Move. That's an order."
The doctor looked at strangely, but he couldnt say anything more, and rushed to work.
There was little ti to explain all the details to him.
I asked the remaining doctor from the imperial palace.
"Keep him in this world until we wait for the antidote. Is there any way?
"At the mont, there is no other way but to apply the sa dicine. But the poison is spreading faster than I thought I can't guarantee it either.
I saw Raymond. I could see the face of him lying dead.
Do your best sohow.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Then I turned to the butler.
"Cut off all the ends so that the gossip about the Emperor doesnt leak out. His Majesty He will definitely survive. You have to behave as usual."
"Yes, Your Majesty.
"And bring Duke Croft here."
"As you order."
The butler left, as did the imperial doctors.
Thus, only the two of us remained in the bedroom.
I went to the bed.
Raymond lay motionless.
Since Agiodita was like a treasure in the Holy Land, it wouldnt have been burned right away, just because it dried up.
When even a withered flower is delivered to , we can get the antidote.
Then Raymond will live.
But why am I so nervous?
I was ready to leave him, but I could never imagine that Raymond would leave this world.
I never thought that he would die first
But here he lies with a pale face.
Even hanging on the brink of death, he behaved as if there was nothing wrong with it.
"There was only one dose of antidote And now the Emperor is like this.
These words ca to mind.
When I brought the antidote, Raymond was right in front of .
Now I understand why that doctor hesitated strangely when he said that there was only enough for one.
"Because"
Raymond's face didn't even flinch when he said to give the antidote to Carlisle.
He saved Carlisle by betting his own life on it.
My breath quickened and tears ca to my eyes.
I already knew that he cares about Carlisle , but I thought he wouldn't be as worried as I was.
One of the reasons I left him ca down to my belief that he wouldnt give Carlisle life.
Even now, when Raymond insisted that he loved , mistrust was still growing inside.
He said it, but who knows when he might change his mind?
But now we are approaching the mont that he will die, covering our son with him. In addition, he didnt even tell the truth, fearing to make feel guilty.
"I'm sorry for you. Since when have you been such a foolish person?
Since when do you think of like that?'
My eyes continued to burn, I tried to turn my gaze away from him. And then I heard a painful groan.
Ugh
His face was contorted with pain.
"If His Majesty is in pain, you should give the painkillers."
It was said that the pain would be very intense as the poison spread.
I hurried to open the bottle cap and spilled the dicine into his mouth.
I was worried that he would vomit, but luckily Raymond swallowed the dicine without difficulty.
"Hmmm!"
I quickly held his hand when he made a groan, while looking at him with a tense face after taking the dicine.
"Raymond"
Did the seriousness of my heart reach him? I let go of his hand and breathed a sigh of relief as I watched the strangled breathing gradually cald down. His hand fell again and my heart sank at that mont, but he didn't die, but the pain was gone and he lost his strength.
I let go of his hand, breathing in relief when I saw his breathing much better. And with a handkerchief I dried his forehead soaked in cold sweat.
"Ray You have to hold on."
You can't die like this. If you leave like this, I will never forgive you.
"So, live."
You said you would wait until I forgive you, so you should never die.'

"Your Majesty!"
"Have you sent a ssage to the Holy Land?"
I put the handkerchief on the table and looked back at the doctor who had just burst into the room.
"Fortunately, they have withered flowers."
"It's a wilted flower, so it doesn't matter if they send it through the wizards, right?"
"Yes, it is already a dead flower. They said they would send it right tomorrow. But Your Majesty, do you really know how to save the Emperor with dead flowers?"
The doctor asked cautiously.
"Tomorrow you will see with your own eyes. In the anti, you need to do your best to keep His Majesty breathing."
The doctor lowered his head.
"I'll get so dicine."
When the imperial doctor ca out and I tried to snuggle up to Raymond again, the butler stopped .
"Your Majesty, His Excellency Duke Croft is already waiting."
"Father."
Father entered the bedroom and saw Raymond lying on the bed.
"His Majesty"
From the distorted face of my father, he seed to imagine the worst.
"His Majesty took the dicine and fell into a deep sleep."
"Oh"
Only then did my father breathe out.
And turned his head to .
"Did you find out everything?"
"Father. Whatever the Emperor ordered you, you shouldnt hide the case from ."
My father wiped his tired face with his hand.
"I was afraid that if you find out the whole truth, you will live with guilt for the rest of your life. I apologize."
It wasnt for Raymond, but for . This is what my father couldnt say out loud.
I know how much my father thinks about . And I also knew his loyalty to Raymond.
"I didn't want to bla my father."
No, Your Majesty How could I not do anything wrong when you are like this?
""
I couldn't stop him that day. Because he wanted Carlisle to live. If His Majesty dies like this
I held my father's hand tight as I watched him collapse.
"Father. There is nothing to fear. His Majesty wont die. We'll make the antidote tomorrow."
How so I heard that flowers, the main ingredient of the antidote, couldnt be obtained.
My father also seed to have heard the story of Agiodita.
Tomorrow, a withered Agiodita will arrive at the imperial palace. And I'm going to save the flower."
How can you get it from a dead flower
I smiled at my father who looked at with a look that indicated he didnt understand.
"Instead of explaining a hundred tis, co and see it yourself. So leave His Majesty to and go see Carlisle today."
My father stared at with confused eyes.
But soon he nodded, as if he believed in .
"I see. But will you stay with him?"
"Yes. Until he take the antidote tomorrow."
It will be reassuring to see what happens with Raymond in person.
"Okay, then I'll go to His Highness."
With one last look of dismay at the unconscious Raymond, my father soon left the bedroom.
So, again, we were the only ones left in the bedroom.
"I can make an antidote tomorrow. So Please hold on. Ray.
I tried to calm my rushing thoughts and took Raymond's pale hand.
* * *
"Your Majesty the Empress, Your Majesty!"
The sound of soone calling my na rang in my ears.
When I lifted my heavy eyelids, I felt a throbbing pain from the back of my head to my shoulders.
I fell asleep?'
"Ah"
When I looked up, the sun was already high outside the window.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes, I'm fine, father."
I was woken up by none other than my father.
"Did Carlisle sleep well yesterday?"
"Yes. I just took him to his lessons. How is the Emperor?"
Father's gaze turned to Raymond. Raymond moaned intermittently last night and vomited blood. However, if you feed him dicine, he cald down for a while.
"He holds on, but It can't last forever."
"You said the flower will be delivered today, and then His Majesty will be saved?"
"Yes. We can make an antidote right away."
The faces of the father and the butler twitched slightly.
Maybe they still doubt my answer.
Then I asked the butler.
"Haven't the flowers from the Holy Land arrived yet?"
"I havent contacted the temple yet."
The next mont the door to the bedroom opened, and one of the servants hastened to report:
"Your Majesty, they say the flowers have just been sent from the Holy Land."
