Chapter 23
"This is a medicine made by Lady Florentine." Sir Kian handed Seviere a tiny bottle that contained Chiara's boiled root and herb.
Seviere was taken aback, "I- I don't think this is a good idea ... Why does she have to ..."
"Please pardon me, Chancellor. I've witnessed the lady's efforts in doing this medicine. She looked for a recipe at the capital from the bookshop she frequented and made all the preparations from the start to finish."
"I appreciate the effort but──"
"And she passed out from overworking."
Seviere's mouth twitched, "P-Passed out ..."
"Yes, Chancellor."
He slapped his head in frustration, "I don't think giving this to His Majesty is a good idea. First, Lady Florentine is not a priest nor a herbalist, only they could make a medicine that is actually effective."
Sir Kian paused and couldn't retaliate. Wh

When Chiara gained consciousness the next morning, she immediately prepared herself to see the emperor without waiting for Shiela to come and prepare everything for her.She merely let her hair flow without any accessory and wore a plain light blue dress like what she always wears.There was a warm smile on her face while she was admiring the early morning scenery. 'The breeze at dawn is really refreshing!' She thought as she stretched her hands in the air.She reached Triton palace in no time and headed straight towards the office. She knocked twice before opening the door.She shut the door closed carefully and saw Carzus lying on the couch, looked fast asleep.'I especially went 2 hours earlier than usual so I wouldn't run into anyone and that no one would stop me from visiting His Majesty.'She approached the man and carefully studied his slumber appearan

"Your Majesty, the children are all better now. The temple is letting them go back to their families this afternoon." Ellie reported. He took Seviere's place for the time being while the latter was sent to inspect the borders on the southern part of the empire."Mm." Carzus answered nonchalantly."How 'bout the child?"He paused. 'Should I send him back? Or ...' He unconsciously gripped the paper in his hand while deciding on what to do with the kid. "Let him come back here and inform his family to pick him up personally."The corners of Ellie's mouth formed a straight line. "Are you prepared to see them now, Your Majesty?"Hearing the latter's question, Carzus' countenance darkened. There was a part of him who wanted to see them, but he was scared of their reaction if they learned that he was alive. "Who knows. They might not even recognize me."Those sad wo

Carzus' mood sank and his eyes turned sharp. 'This child. How could he just sleep with Lady Florentine?'"Y-Your Majesty ... Calm down, he's just a child." Ellie tried to smoothen the situation.Even though Carzus was flaring with anger, Sebastian didn't falter. He doesn't want to see his mother make that kind of face anymore. He needs to mend their relationship even little by little."What? Do you see me as a threat? Well, even though I'm just a child, I will still grow up soon you know. And I don't mind older women anyway."*SLAM!* Carzus slammed his hand on the coffee table and broke it into two, but still, Sebastian remained calm."I will look at myself in the mirror just once, and you must promise me to stay away from Lady Florentine.""Deal.""Come back tomorrow. I still have to prepare for a meeting.""I will.

"What?!""Who ... Who would do this to a young child?" Chiara mumbled. Her heart was so heavy. She suffered so much as a child, but the child in front of her was literally dying."Have you gone to the herbal shop yet?" Dale asked the child's father."Yes. But they don't have medicine left to treat wounds. He just gave me some medicine to reduce the pain, but ... but his wounds ...""Then why not just make one? Those old geezers."Dale tapped Wilner's shoulder. "They might not have the ingredients. The merchant that was supposed to visit the Capital didn't come for 2 weeks now, maybe that's why they ran out of ingredients."Chiara thought something and asked, "What are the ingredients they need? I can order the knights with me to get it for you."Everybody looked at her with gloomy eyes, "The ingredients for making medicines to treat wound

"My Lady, you were invited for a tea party." Shiela said with a gloomy face. 'Of all tea parties, why does it have to be that woman's party? Will My Lady come?'She glanced at her lady worriedly.Chiara glanced at the stamp of the letter and her mood also dropped. She didn't want to go, but she didn't want His Majesty to get involved in meaningless gossip if she turned down this invitation.She was sure that her dear sister who was the best at acting would spark a rumor about His Majesty being the reason why she can't attend the tea party. If that happens, then the people who looked disgusted with her sight will spread more false rumors because of Clareen's misleading.'I don't want that to happen. I'd rather put up with all the humiliation than drag innocent people on this. Especially not the one who helped me.'"Shiela, I managed to earn quite a sum of money. Let's go to the ca

"I will have the dress delivered to your estate, may I know your address?" The young attendant's mother, Gretta, asked.Chiara was taken aback. "Can I just pick up the dress here tomorrow?" 'You see, I can't tell you that I live in the palace or you might overprice the dress. I don't have that much money, hehe, hehe.' She thought that way based on personal experience."O-okay then. I will immediately work on this dress and make sure that this will fit you. I will also add some details that I think will suit My Lady.""See you tomorrow then."Gretta and her daughter bowed as Chiara exited their shop. After the latter left with her carriage, they raised their heads and the tears they were holding back from earlier flowed non-stop."Mother ... I thought we wouldn't have a choice but to close the shop! Huwaaaaaaa!""I was thankful that I didn't pack everything ye

'What's with him all of a sudden?' Chiara asked in her mind while racking his brain for possible answers. Even her back was full of cold sweats.She looked at the man sitting opposite of her with legs crossed, leaning his back effortlessly while his cheek rested on his fist.'Aahh, why does this puppy look like a mad dog? Oh no, oh no! Wait, shouldn't I act angry because of our last conversation? When he said he will reconsider the marriage!' She calmed herself and nodded her head. But before she could utter a word, her thoughts turned into a mess again.'But what should I get angry about? Aren't I the one who suggested it? And even if he gets married, it has nothing to do with me. I-I ... suppose ...'"Please enjoy some tea." Shiela purposefully interrupted the heavy atmosphere. "I've prepared a chamomile tea for the Lady and mint tea for His Majesty. Both of these are for calming the body and mind

"Shiela ... I'm exhausted." Chiara complained without energy left in her body.Shiela woke her up before the sun rises, now it's already time to depart to the Duke's estate."What are you saying, My Lady? You look perfect!" Shiela said excitedly that her eyes turned into hearts."Kyaaa! My Lady is already beautiful, but her dress and everything made her beauty rise up to another level!""Of course, Lady Chiara is the prettiest!""I wonder what will His Majesty's reaction be when he sees My Lady like this?""Should you even ask that? Of course he'll fall over and over again! Aaahh My Lady is like an angel!"Several maids together with Fey are all fangirling behind Chiara who was already exhausted from all the beauty procedures she had to go through.This might be just a tea party, but this is also the first time that C
