71. Wake Up
“Emilio … My son … Please wake up for Mother ….”In Emilio's abandoned room, Queen Melisa sat while still holding her son's hand tightly. Ever since King Alexius had said that Emilio was no longer a crown prince, Queen Melisa had been living in extreme despair. She couldn't kill King Alexius for his son's sake, but she was unable to wake her son from his long slumber either. Queen Melisa was even contemplating suicide if only Emilio didn't wake up until Raoul made it to the capital.At least if she died, no one could threaten her to give King Alexius the antidote to the poison she made. Queen Melisa bit her lips tightly, as she thought about the bad ending that might happen to her.Just as she was lost in thought, the hand she was holding slowly moved back. Queen Melisa was so shocked that she forgot to call the doctor. Her eyes only continued to stare at her son's face, which was slowly starting to get its color back.Time seemed to pass so long as Emilio's eyelids began to tremble l

72. The Two-Faced Prince
No one knew how long Emilio was silent until the man suddenly straightened up again. The pain that plagued his head disappeared, when Emilio finally managed to piece together the memories between the two versions of himself.“Ana forgives me.”Along with the return of his originally messy memories, Emilio also managed to remember what happened when he was in a coma. All the conversations that were held nearby were recorded clearly, including when Ariana came to visit him and said things that only Ariana from the future knew. Emilio never thought he would be given the chance to love Ariana again after his death. If the man had known he would be sent to the past after his death, Emilio might have killed himself sooner.However … The man knew there had been some changes in the past because of Ariana. For example, the prince who should have died as a useless person has become his greatest enemy at this time. Because not only was Prince Raoul trying to aim for the throne that rightfully be

73. The Awakened Prince
Emilio walked quietly as he exited his palace to go to the main palace occupied by his mother. His face was devoid of any expression, as he became the center of attention like a circus performer.After Emilio left his room, he finally understood what the maids meant by their words. Emilio's palace, which was usually filled with hundreds of servants, now looked deserted and only had dozens of servants who had to work hard after their master's decline situations. The palace, which had always looked majestic and shining, had now dimmed as if the owner's own life could no longer be saved.Emilio's footsteps stopped when he saw the flower garden that Ariana once loved so much had now become an abandoned place. Perhaps due to the lack of workers in Emilio's residence, the flowers that normally bloomed beautifully under the careful care of the gardeners, now appeared to be withering and growing erratically. Emilio clenched his fists tightly. Even after Ariana's death, Emilio always tried to

74. Coup D'etat
Queen Melisa looked restless again when she finally finished saying what she needed to say. If she recalled Emilio's usual nature, the prince would feel all the information he had just heard was too shocking to believe. However, Emilio, who was in front of her, nodded calmly, before suddenly smiling triumphantly.“This way, my plan is clear, Mother,” said Emilio suddenly. The man moved closer to his mother before he patted her delicate hand once.“One of Mother's wishes, I will grant it now. Do you have poison that can speed up the heart rhythm? I need it if I want to kill King Alexius. Then … I also want you to contact Mother's acquaintances in the Orvel Kingdom, to make up the story that Prince Raoul, who most likely kidnapped Princess Elle. Perverting the facts is Mother's specialty, isn't it?”Queen Melisa was very surprised when Emilio casually said that he was going to kill King Alexius. The queen was too focused on the first plan, so she didn't pay much attention to the next pl

75. Fake Emotions
After Emilio finished with his business, the man stared at the corpse of King Alexius before sighing tiredly. The prince opened the door out of King Alexius' study, to see that there was only Teresa in the place.“He's dead. We'll move on to the next plan,” Emilio informed her. His eyebrows are slightly raised when he saw that Teresa had fallen silent when the maid saw that King Alexius really wasn't breathing anymore. However, in the next moment, the maid immediately turned to nod at Emilio.“I have paralyzed all eyewitnesses, Your Highness. You may return to your palace after this. From here on, Her Majesty and I will handle the situation.”Emilio nodded lightly before he slipped away from the place. Because Emilio was a king in his past life, the man knew secret passages that no one but kings knew. To avoid suspicion, the man departed and returned to his palace using the secret passage. The man had just arrived at his palace when the sound of the bell echoed throughout the palace.

76. Daedalus Territory
“Your Highness, we will soon enter the Daedalus territory.”Raoul heaved a sigh of relief when they finally arrived at the Daedalus territory, which was located at the outermost lane of the road leading to the capital's territory. During these few days, as they continued to move quickly to catch up with time, they had been forced to sleep on the ground as their bed. For Prince Raoul and the other soldiers, the trip might not be troublesome at all. But this time they brought Princess Elle, who was already looking exhausted from trying so hard to keep up with their recent pace.Even though Raoul did want to reach the capital as soon as possible, the man didn't want to torture Princess Elle any more than this. Raoul was afraid to cause trouble if Princess Elle got sick in his protection.

Let's rest in

77. The King's Order
Knock knockPrincess Elle who was just about to close her eyes woke up again when she heard a knock on the door. At first, the girl thought the one who had just arrived was Prince Raoul. But when she didn't hear the sound of someone who's knocking on her door, Princess Elle immediately stepped back while slowly putting on her outer clothes again.“Princess Elle, we have come to pick you up.”Princess Elle's hair stood on end when she heard a strange voice from outside her room. Princess Elle knew that if Prince Raoul's group had come to her, they would definitely not say so. The girl's body trembled as she thought there was a possibility that the person who wanted her to die had caught up with her. Princess Elle had no idea where Prince Raoul was when she was in danger. However, the girl knew she had to run away if she wanted to live.“Your Highness, please don't make things difficult for us. We are a guard sent by His Majesty the King to save you. After this, we promise to take you to

78. In The Prison
“ … Ness!”“ … Highness!”“Your Highness!”Raoul slowly opened his eyes again once Captain Allen's voice echoed in his ears. The man felt something odd, as he couldn't move his arms or legs. Slowly, his consciousness returned, as he heard Captain Allen's voice once again.“Your Highness, please come to your senses!”This time, Raoul's eyes actually opened as he stared dazedly at the surrounding area. The last thing Raoul remembered was the moment he realized something was wrong and rushed to secure Princess Elle. However, Raoul only managed to take a few steps, before a feeling of dizziness made him fall unconscious. Now, when he woke up, the prince could already guess he was locked up in prison from the place and the handcuffs that bound his hands and feet. Raoul saw that of all the members of his group that were there, only Captain Allen had fully regained his senses.“Is this an enemy attack?” asked Raoul in a hoarse voice. Seeing that Raoul was finally able to speak, Captain Allen

79. Princess Elle on The Rescue
“Impossible … How could His Majesty die so suddenly ….”After the departure of Marquis Daedalus, the atmosphere in the prison was very gloomy, as everyone was still too shocked by the news they only learned today. The newly awakened soldiers were no less saddened when they found out that they would die as traitors once they were sent to the capital. Everyone was in a chaotic mood, including Raoul, who was silent while bending his knees.“Your Highness, you must flee from this place. In my opinion, the death of King Alexius and the sending of Lady Ariana to the battlefield with Duke Andrew are not true at all. Prince Emilio and Queen Melisa must have something to do with this change. After all, this incident happened after King Alexius decided to appoint you as crown prince.”“I know.”Beyond Captain Allen's expectations, Prince Raoul was actually willing to answer his words, even with a muffled voice. Among all the people, the one who was hit the hardest right now was, of course, Prin
