47. Near Death
[2nd Prince's Palace]
As she collapsed to the ground, blood began to form on her shoulder and trickle down.
Her eyes widened as she looked at her own bloody hand that had reached her bleeding shoulder.
Her palm trembled as she realized it was becoming more difficult to breathe.
"M-Milady! I-I will get help right away!!!"
The coachman screamed in fear as he dashed toward the entrance, hoping to find someone who could help Verena, who was still in pain.
"Ugh—"
Her eyes squeezed severely as her vision blurred, but she opened them wide and clutched the ground with both hands.
(I.. I can't die yet!)
As tears welled up in her eyes from desperation, she thought to herself.
(I already died once— I won't die this easily this time! Not before my revenge!)
Blood continues to flow freely from the bullet wound.
"VERENA!"
A few maids and butlers, as well as the coachman and Azazel, dashed from t

(Never seek for forgiveness from someone who isn't worthy.)(There are more dark secrets hidden within this Empire than you could ever think.)(Just kill anyone who is in your way.)(Bring no mercy to those who wronged you.)When they spent time together, Azazel was reminded of all the things Verena had said.He always carries all of those words close to his heart in order to make her happy.As Azazel predicted, the citizens began to distrust the Imperial Family after receiving frequent bad news from them.While Azazel was on his way, he locked Verena in his room and guarded her from the outside by the twins.Verena was, of course, taken aback. She couldn't bring herself to question Azazel because he didn't waste any more time with his new plans and left her in the dark.Verena, who was still resting in her room, gently got out of bed, despite the fact that her shoulder discomfort was weighing her down.As soon as

[Empress' Palace]Azazel's forehead veins appeared as he frowned at both Edgar and Ethan, who had disobeyed his orders."I just asked both of you to make sure she got a decent night's sleep— but instead she's exhausted and catching a cold?!"As the twins stood still in their stance with their heads lowered, Azazel screamed furiously inside his quiet office."...... Your Highness, pardon my rudeness, but— 'It's better to stick to the plan no matter what occurs than to be hasty and ruin everything.' Milady was the one who said it."Because he didn't want Verena's potion to go to waste because of Azazel, Edgar fearlessly voiced out all Verena had told him.When Azazel heard Edgar's statement, he just clenched his teeth and tried to relax.(In many respects, he is correct. It was too late in any case; she'd already created two potions at the same time.)Azazel considered Verena's decision before shaking his head a

Even though the Empress mysteriously disappeared, causing a stir throughout the Empire, the birthday celebration will go forward without a hitch.Verena, who was still sick at the moment, was incapable of helping. Azazel purposefully fed her sleep pills so that she could relax peacefully.Theodore managed to put the potion on every food that could block the energy inside the body for a day, rendering them unable to use their elemental powers and preventing them from retaliating.Everything was completed flawlessly without the Emperor's knowledge.Azazel had a lot of free time because he wasn't permitted to go to the hall to celebrate his birthday as he was an illegitimate child."... We will kill 30 households as planned."Azazel faced his own group, which had been separated into teams. He led them, as well as placing the scroll of the palace's structure."You can take care of the west gate."He gave the instruction, and

Azazel swung his sword to slash off Gavril's right arm before the Emperor could even finish his lines, startling him with the abrupt move."Shut up, you're too annoying."The Emperor's face was drenched with blood when he realized he had already lost an arm.As he screamed in anguish, his voice was so loud that it resonated across the hall, the shock almost drove him insane.His body shook, and his left hand tried to grasp the other hand that had been taken from him.Azazel, who was standing before him, had a thought in his mind.(Now that I think about it, it was Verena who suggested this rebellion.)He calmed down for a while before raising his hand and signaling one of his followers to stop the Emperor's bleeding, which they promptly did.Gavril was losing his sanity after his illegitimate son, whom he had abandoned, slayed his hand."Take him to the basement."Azazel gave the order, his voice was cold, and his

Verena came out of her room and noticed the corridor was dark and silent.It's as though she's the only one there, standing and scanning the surroundings.There wasn't a single knight, nor a maid or butler to assist her. It was absolutely devoid of people and filled with silence.Only a few lights in the dark could instruct Verena to continue walking down the corridor.It was strangely silent when she exited the palace wearing only a nightgown.However, his attention was drawn to her."L-Lady Verena?!"Ethan was bewildered by Verena's appearance while she was supposed to be resting inside.It was the same with Verena, who was taken aback by Ethan's unexpected approach."... Where's everyone?"She asked, a little mystified by the unusual situation she found herself in. She was concerned that the rebellion would fail.Even in the dim light, Ethan could see Verena's troubled aquamarine eyes.As he stood

Azazel and Verena walked inside the bathroom quietly. It was late at night, and they were both vulnerable to catching a cold, but Azazel's energy will shield them both."Could you assist me in removing my nightgown first?"Verena offered gently, but Azazel was anything but that. His cheeks were hot, and his heart was pounding in his ears."S-sure."Azazel approached her and began assisting her in removing her nightgown.To make her as comfortable as possible, he delicately pulled the ribbon that was tied between the layers of fabric behind her.A thought occurred to him as he was doing his duty.(She's having difficulties like this— was because of me.)His guilt became more inside him, and tears welled up in his eyes just thinking about it.As soon as he undone the nightgown, he took it off from her body, revealing her undergarments.His eyes widened when he saw the bandages over her shoulder.He slow

"Y-you! How could you!""... Hey, Emperor, let me ask you something."Verena smirked slyly as she drew closer to him."I'm aware that you're working on an unnamed experiment."His eyes widened in surprise and a shudder ran down his spine the moment he heard the term 'experiment' coming from the most unlikely source."H-how did you—""Now, I want to ask. Aren't you thinking of using me as a guinea pig in that experiment of yours?"Gavril took a step back in panic, his heart thumping loudly in his chest and his hand trembling.It's as if he'd been overcome by a terror he'd had before."And... did you kill the Empress?""No I didn't!"He tumbled backwards out of nowhere due to the shock and anxiety he was facing without Verena's knowledge.But she could tell something wasn't right merely by his reaction.The disappearance of the Empress and her experiments."Seeing your reactio

After the conference, a week had passed. Everything went smoothly, and all of the necessary details were in the process.Today, Azazel and I headed into town together, walking hand-in-hand through the streets as we enjoyed the familiar sight where we strolled around for our first date.I smiled as we walked hand-in-hand through the familiar streets, pointing across the road."Do you remember that stall?"Azazel's face lit up with a warm smile as he followed my eyes to the corner stall selling exotic candies.I could still recall how, by chance, we had our first kiss there. I was a little embarrassed at the time, but now when I think about it, it's one of my favorite memories."That's where we had our first kiss by accident."I was trying to keep a straight face as I said that, but he looked so genuinely flustered that I couldn't stop myself from chuckling."Geez, please stop teasing me like that.."He scratched the
