Chapter 265: 265

After bowing to me, he began to persuade people to walk away from me. They kept leering at the back of the curtain, but began to disperse in no time. Watching them going away for a moment, I called the servants at the scene who were at a loss about what to do.

“Because I don’t have time to delay, let me give you instructions right now. Hey, you, go and bring a royal doctor here. Also, tell the director of the palace affairs office and Sir Feden of the 2nd Knights Division to come here as soon as possible. Baroness Feden is in critical condition.”

“Yes, Lady Monique,” they replied.

“Hey, you, go and report to the emperor immediately about this situation, and tell him I’m waiting for his instruction. If he is talking with a foreign delegation, just say like this, ‘Lady Monique wants to see you immediately with respect to what happened in the garden of the crown prince’s palace around this time last year.’ Got it?”

“Yes, my lady.”

“And you, go and explain to Mrs. Lars about the current situation briefly with the message that I want to ask her to host the banquet while I’m coping with the situation. Got it?”

“Okay, my lady.”

“Good. Then get your ass in gear right away!”

As soon as I gave them instructions, they turned away immediately and disappeared into the people.

I asked Marquis Enesil, who already dispersed people around me, to stop outsiders from entering, then went back into the curtain.

“Beatrice? Can you hear me? ”

Although I felt dizzy because of the strong scent of her blood, I helped her raise her body with all my might, as she moaned. My ears buzzed when I saw her white face and the hem of her dress stained with blood. The memories of my past kept hovering in my head.

Although I made a silent scream, I whispered into her ears, biting my lips tightly, “Hang in there a little more. A royal doctor will be here right away.”

“Baby, my baby…”

“Your baby will be okay. So, just hang in there a little more, okay? ”

However, I was getting more and more anxious because of the strong smell of blood.

Why is the royal doctor taking so long? What about Sir Feden and the director of the palace affairs office? Did the servants convey them my message properly?

“O, it’s you, the princess of Lisa. What happened?”

How much time passed? I heard someone raising the curtain and speaking coldly. My stiff body was relaxed only when I heard his unique voice that could not be colder.

‘Whew! He is here. What a relief!’

Was it because a sense of tension surrounding my whole body disappeared? I suddenly felt dizzy. I felt listless for some reason. It looked like somebody chatting among themselves, but I could not hear or see properly. I just felt a bit woozy.

While I was sitting down blankly for a long time, I came to my senses when I smelled somebody’s refreshing body odor. When I looked up, I saw the emperor turning around.

I blinked blankly, watching him fading away. Where is he going? Where is Beatrice?

“Lady Monique, I was told to escort you to a guest room by the emperor. You can’t seem to stand up alone. If you excuse me, can I help you stand up?”

“Oh, no. I’m fine.”

Although the royal knight who spoke to me looked at me anxiously, I raised my body by straining my wobbly legs. Deep down, I wanted him to help me, but I didn’t want any rumors about it.

Was it because I struggled to move every step? It took me some time to arrive at the guest room even though it was not far from where I had been. When I walked in carefully, I suddenly felt I saw something similar to this before.

Beatrice passed out, with her dress stained with blood, the emperor was looking at her, and I was standing at the door.

Flashing back to the past, I was bleeding, he was looking at me with an embarrassed expression, and the black-haired woman was standing at the door.

I suddenly felt chills on my back. My wobbly legs stopped on the spot as if frozen.

Looking at me stiffen, the emperor said, “… Oh, you are here. ”

I got cold feet when I noticed his subdued cold eyes, I showed my due manners to him, trying to stay calm as much as possible. Since I had to bump into him again and again from now on, I could not afford to be timid every time I saw him.

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty. Actually…”

“You can talk about the details later. Let’s settle the most urgent. She received first aid, but the doctor who got here said he was not well versed in this area, so I told them to bring another royal doctor.”

“Oh, I see.”

In fact, I was wondering why the royal doctor was checking Beatrice’s condition instead of treating her.

She was losing a lot of blood, so I was looking at her anxiously. But the black-haired woman, not the royal doctor, came in.

“I heard you called me, Your Majesty…”

Did she see something strange? Smile on her bright face disappeared little by little. Her coquettish voice also gradually faded away.

Jiun was now looking at the emperor. Her eyes fixed on him were burning with something mysterious, as always.

The moment I hated her cold look, I heard him calling her from my behind,

“Lady Jena, I need to borrow your divine power for a moment.”

“… Ah, yes, Your Majesty. ”

Jiun, who replied belatedly with a blank expression like a woman who just woke up from her dream, looked at me and frowned.

What? Did she recall her past just like I did?

When I looked back with a puzzled expression, she already stood beside Beatrice. I tilted my head, watching her muttering something, with her hands folded.

‘Is her divine power supposed to be used for this kind of purpose?”

Her actions at the moment were different from what I had seen before, compared with what the high priests usually did.

But no matter how suspicious I was about her actions, there was nothing I could do.

What if I disturbed her by speaking to her?

How much time passed? The royal doctor who arrived very late greeted the emperor hastily and immediately checked Beatrice’s condition.

The emperor looked out the window by turning his head when the doctor removed her dress urgently. I turned my eyes to Beatrice, trying to turn away from him who was as cold-hearted as ever.

When I moved a few steps from the doctor so as not to disturb him, I saw Jiun frowning hysterically while muttering something until then. I thought her actions strange from the beginning. It was certain that something didn’t work out right to her expectations.

‘Then, what is it that she did this afternoon?’

Suddenly a question occurred to me. I’ve heard from the High Priest that her divine power was incomplete. Was she struggling now because of that? Was she supposed to use her divine power only a few times per day or was the success rate of her divine power very low?

I was still puzzled about her divine power, but I took my eyes off her and looked at the doctors. Unlike Jiun with an annoyed face, they were talking to each other very seriously.

While looking at the doctors, I suddenly felt one of them was familiar to me.

‘Oh, that man is… ‘

The sweaty doctor in his late 30s, who gave her first aid because he said he was not well versed in this area, was the very man who, as one of the royal doctors, notified me that I was infertile in the past. He was also on call in case of the medical emergency situation.

“Whew! What a relief! I was worried because she lost so much blood.”

“Yes, you’re right.”

Only

“But why did you call me? I know you are a specialist in this field.”

Was it because I was close to them? Even though they spoke in a very low voice, I could hear them well enough to understand what they were talking about.

I frowned unconsciously at that. Come to think of it, it was not true that he didn’t know about gynecology. As a layman in this field, he wouldn’t have been appointed as one of my doctors in the past. Then why did he lie? Was there any reason for him to refuse to treat Beatrice?

“Well, I’m only a beginner, compared to your excellent skills, Dr. Hares. Besides, her condition looked very serious.”

“Well, two are better than one anyway. I think we’re almost done. Let me report then.”

The middle-aged woman who wiped her hands with a clean towel approached the window and bowed deeply to the emperor.

“I, Hares Lant, am honored to greet the Sun of the Empire. Please forgive me for not properly greeting you as I was so absent-minded.”

“No problem. What about the baroness’s condition?”
