Chapter 126: 119

He, too, knew whose Carlisle child was.

Ellie must have told him.

Raymond couldn’t brush off that feeling of vulnerability to the man in front of him.

It was sad that Ellie believed in Jeremy more than in himself, and that Carlisle liked this man more.

“Your Majesty, Lady Croft only wishes to protect her child.”

“Shut up.”

Raymond’s gaze quickly grew fierce.

“You have no right to Carlisle.”

Jeremy stopped abruptly, as if the beast in front of him had bared teeth.

After all, Raymond was right.

He and Ellie are just friends.

Jeremy lowered his gaze, hiding the seething inside.

“I apologize. I’ve crossed the line.”

Although he saw sparks flash in his eyes, Raymond no longer wanted to hear Jeremy cover Ellie.

“The death of Duke Drua is ​​more important now.”

They didn’t get a single proof to connection Marquis Sios with this incident.

This is what was most important.

It was long overdue to send Carter on a courtesy call to the Drua estate and get everything out of there cleaned up.

Raymond knew better than anyone that this was impossible, although for a moment he regretted it.

It was illegal to arrest and question the Duke in the absence of hard evidence.

The suspicions weren’t unfounded, but they were lacking.

Thus, the mercenaries were first interrogated.

Just to get an equally useless testimony that pointed to a pitiful pawn.

The reaction from Sios came out so briskly, now it was obvious that Sios left his eyes next to the burning mansion.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made a hasty decision to remove Duke Drua.

Raymond couldn’t hide his irritation and rubbed his face roughly with his hand.

Later, with a calm sigh, he tried to force his confused thoughts into order.

“Everything has already happened…”

Duke Drua, one of the hydra’s heads in the form of Sios, was sacrificed.

But that doesn’t mean we won’t cut down the rest.

Even if Duke Drua is ​​dead, further investigation may reveal at least little evidence of Marquis Sios.

The problem is that it took time.

Duke Drua is ​​dead and the Empire has a new prince.

We can’t hide it all from the crowd.

Now all sorts of sins will be hanged on the deceased Drua.

The nobles will pay more attention to Carlisle, and the name of Sios will sound here and there.

“I need tell you something…”

While the Emperor was looking for a way to play for time, Jeremy caught his attention.

“Sire… I brought the account book.”

It contained the names of the noble houses that sent money to Duke Drua, and the amount of money.

Raymond asked after looking through the book.

“Is there any other proof?”

“The safe was full of papers, but they are missing.”

Jeremy bowed his head.

He promised. He said he would gather evidence of a conspiracy between Marquis Sios and Duke Drua.

He chased two hares and returned empty-handed.

The lives of Ellie and Carlisle were barely saved, but the successes ended there.

Raymond frowned and closed the book. This wasn’t enough to catch Marquis Sios.

The Marquis simply gave the Duke a large sum of money.

Nothing was said about whether this money was obtained illegally or was used for illegal purposes.

Raymond was worried.

Soon the whole Empire will hear about the capital’s drama.

This time, Raymond has to take the first step.

“From now on, I command you to be the head of the Drua House.”

Jeremy knelt before the Emperor.

“Today, I will officially announce that the deceased Duke Drua has encroached on the Emperor’s life.”

“If you say this…”

Jeremy has a ripe question, but his words stalled at the end.

And Raymond also knew what Jeremy was talking about.

If we reveal to the people the death of Duke Drua, the next will be the news of a new prince.

“Even if he wasn’t the main mastermind of the conspiracy, the actions of the deceased Duke are unforgivable. In view of this, even if the Duke has already died, we can’t forgive it.”

“Yes.”

“From now on, I command that the former Duke Drua be relegated in the status. By my grace, I authorize a proper funeral, so let the young Duke Drua arrange everything.”

Now that his status has been downgraded, Freud Drua will disappear from his family tree.

And of course, he couldn’t be buried in the family cemetery.

This will be the most severe punishment for someone who has tried all his life to win back the glory of the Drua House.

Jeremy felt mixed emotions, but it didn’t bother him too much.

This outcome was predetermined from the moment his father made the decision to punish the monarch’s family and sang with the Sios house.

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Jeremy left the office with a heavy step.

* * *

“Haa.”

My body was heavy, falling apart like cotton wool soaked in water.

As if I had just crawled out of a deep hole, I slowly looked around and blinked.

The blurry vision gradually cleared up, and the first thing I noticed was the intricate painting of the ceiling.

‘Yes. It’s clearly the Imperial Palace.’

I remembered the moment when the previous time I regained consciousness.

“My dear lady, how is your head?”

When I turned my head, Harpen was looking down at me.

“Harpen… you.”

He sighed and smiled.

“Yes it’s me. By order of the Emperor, I have come to your service. Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”

“It hurts, but… not too much.”

“Good news… Lady, you can’t get up yet.”

“I should see Carlisle.”

As soon as my thoughts turned back to normal, the first thing that came to mind was my son.

When I raised myself slightly, Harpen hurriedly pulled me back.

“I need to see Carlisle.”

Raymond said Carlisle was okay, but I was so worried I couldn’t bear it.

“Milady. Your injury was serious. It is unreasonable to get up now, because you can hardly stay like this.”

Harpen looked at me sternly.

“Then bring Carlisle here.”

“Milady…”

Even if my father was there, the child would have been overwhelmed by the unfamiliar surroundings.

Harpen said nothing, so I hurried to jerk him again.

“I would just for a second and that’s it. And nothing special.”

But Harpen’s face was stern. Noticing this detail, I felt that something was wrong.

“Harpen… What’s with Carlisle?”

“Nothing…”

Harpen shyly avoided my gaze.

What if not? If they lie to me?

Anxiety filled my heart, and I hastily grabbed Harpen’s arm.

“Where is Carlisle?”

“My lady, he…”

“Ellie.”

Then I heard my father’s voice.

“Father… Where is Carlisle now? Now lead me to him.”

The moment I tried to get out of bed, my father stood in front of me.

“Take it easy. Carlisle is fine.”

Our gazes met.

My father’s eyes didn’t flinch at all.

“Then… Why the hell is I’m not allowed to see him.”

My father shuddered, and for an instant, horror was written on his face.

“Carlisle’s identity revealed.”

“What?”

“His Majesty found out…”

“Ah…”

It was the truth that I was hiding at the risk of my life.

I leaved everything and left so that he wouldn’t live as a prince at the palace…

Raymond knew everything now.

In the moment of shock, I experienced severe dizziness.

“Ellie!”

When my legs swayed, my father hurriedly supported me and heard Harpen’s insistent voice.

“Milady, where are you feel bad? Are you dizzy?”

“Everywhere I’m fine, Carlisle, no… How is he…”

I’m just talking about one thing. I have to see Carlisle.

But then the door opened.

“Hail His Majesty, the Emperor, the Sun of the Empire.”

The voices of the servants rang out.

“Mom!”

Carlisle rushed in the room.
