The emperor turned his body around and rested his head on his arm to look at Serena..
Naturally, his undergarments became loose and she caught a glimpse of his chest.
The maids coughed and blushed.
Even if his outfit looked like that of a beggar, his face would be the reason for their reaction.
But Serena didn’t bat an eyelid. Only then did the emperor reach for the medicine.
But-
Cough!
Azade collapsed coughing up blood before taking the medicine. And Serena was executed for assassinating the emperor.
It was already her second death.
So on the third turn –
“Argh! That son of a bitch Emperor!”
Serena opened her fierce eyes, tearing her purple hair out.
After returning, she decided.
I’m going to die anyway. Let’s just hit that bastard emperor and die.
* * *
Serena calmed down and thought to herself.
What can a genius doctor do?
If the patient refuses to take the medicine.
No matter who it is, you won’t be able to save that bastard emperor.
‘I’ve dealt with you all this time because I pitied you, so why do I have to go through this bullshit twice?!’
Serena trembled and spewed out swear words.
Azade Kan Crotten.
He’s currently the only one in the lineage of the imperial family of the Crotten Empire and the illegitimate son of a maid who was confined to a separate palace before he ascended the throne.
He had blue eyes, unlike other imperial families who had red eyes. The red eyes were a symbol of the Crotten Empire and a sign of power.
This was because the imperial family of Crotten, the land of fire, became more painted with red as its power increased.
Thus, the emperor, who saw Azade’s blue eyes, hid him in the palace as soon as he was born.
He was powerless anyway, so the other Imperial families also had no interest and cut him off.
No one cared if he was dead or alive. It was because those who could not use the power of fire could not become the emperor.
Later, when the late emperor fell ill and had his last breath, there was a battle for imperial power between the Crown Prince and the Imperial Princess of the Crotten Empire.
It was a storm of blood and wind, and there was no remaining prince or princess.
In the middle of all the fighting, no one paid attention to the imprisoned prince.
The problem was that all the imperial families died in the fight. So the nobles rushed to find Azade, the abandoned prince.
He didn’t have their power, but he had the blood of the Imperial family, so they were determined to get him to take over somehow.
But when Azade became the emperor, he showed his true colors. He also had the power of the Crotten family. It’s as powerful as the first emperor.
It wasn’t because his eyes were blue that he didn’t have their power.
Blue fire is stronger than red fire.
The Crotten empire overlooked that very thing.
Medeia, Azade’s dead mother, forced him to hide his strength to avoid political warfare.
Since he had no family on his mother’s side, if they knew he had power, he would have been the first to be killed.
Medeia’s foresight was incredible. Thanks to her, Azade was able to acquire the throne.
Azade only placed some cutlery on a table.
The nobles couldn’t help but kneel before his overwhelming power. They set him up to be their puppet, but doing that was the same as appointing an uncontrollable tyrant.
Fortunately, he was suffering from an unknown disease. So he didn’t use his power much, and perhaps because of his birth, he was lazy and extremely hated receiving help.
There was no such thing as a wild beast.
Serena suspected his illness was due to blue eyes, which were different from the other blue eyes.
However, such a hypothesis was not enough for a proper investigation.
It was because the fussy emperor won’t let us examine or touch his body, so it was impossible to find out the cause of the disease.
‘Then why am I here? Why don’t they just ask for a fake blessing from an astrologer?’
Serena bit her lower lip again in tears. The emperor should at least take good care of himself, but he didn’t seem to be willing to do that.
Perhaps the memory of being confined was a severe trauma to him.
So far Serena has been trying to persuade Emperor Azade as kindly as possible.
The first time, I died because I was scared of him, an emperor, so I couldn’t do my job properly. The second time, I was confident that I knew what to do.
When the emperor lived longer than the first time by trying to coax and comfort the emperor, I thought I had survived.
But eventually the emperor died and Serena was decapitated. I’m not a phoenix, but I’ve died and been resurrected twice.
I die, and I die again!
Until when will I keep having to take care of the emperor and die doing it?
Serena shook her fist as she recalled the hardships she had to go through.
‘Son of a bitch emperor… I’ll pluck out your head and kill you myself.’
