"The servants also said the same thing.perhaps they were controlled by something"

"Controlled??Ah..Fei.maybe"

"We must enlist the help of the Crown Prince and Grand Duke Darvin this time",

Episode 64

/Emperor Palace

"Dad, what about your condition?"

"My body improved after drinking the tea recipe that Marchioness Gradina gave me yesterday, even if she left it to Her Majesty Saint Zergan because she was busy"

"Teh??"

"Yes, tea mixed with lemon and honey, I don't imagine the taste will be as good as that and reduce my fatigue"

"Thank God if you're happy"

The Emperor looked towards the Crown Prince with a faint smile.The Crown Prince who was aware of his father's gaze, immediately tilted his head.

"What's dad?" tanyakene,

"You grew up so well Felix, I am proud of you.Seeing you who are now working in place of your sickly father, I have no qualms about handing over the throne to you", replied the Emperor softly,

"Ah..Father, I beg you not to say that, Father will surely be healed" said the Crown Prince worriedly,

"Felix, all humans will surely die and return to the ground, when the time has come" said the Emperor softly with a smile that pierced the Crown Prince's chest,

"I will do my best." said the Crown Prince, holding back his tears,

"Good boy.I hope you find a partner who truly deserves to be in the Queen's position and also.love him as sincerely as your heart.." The Emperor rubbed the Crown Prince's hair gently and affectionately.

The hand that the Crown Prince liked very much when rubbing his hair.A very warm and comfortable feeling, back he felt after a long time.

"I'll do what you say.I promise I won't let you down.."

"Thank you Felix, I believe you"

After visiting the Emperor, the Crown Prince was about to go to see Queen Felicia.When the trip to the Queen's Palace, the Crown Prince met Prince Arhen in the park.

"Greet the Crown Prince, may the Gods be with you" Prince Arhen said, greeting the Crown Prince,

"..may the Gods be with you as well" the Crown Prince retorted somewhat doubtfully,

'The pressure is a little different.' the inner Crown Prince, though,

"It's been 5 months that we haven't met brother, how are you?" Prince Arhen extended his hand to the Crown Prince with a smile.With some hesitation, the Crown Prince shook Prince Arhen's hand, saying,

"Ah, I'm fine.how about you?" ask the Crown Prince,

"I'm fine, as always" replied Prince Arhen,

"Good then.It looks like you just met mom, am I wrong?" ask the Crown Prince,

"You are right, sister, I went to see Her Majesty the Queen first because of passing earlier" replied Prince Arhen, Prince of Athens,

"I see, then I'm Arhen first",

"All right, brother"

The Crown Prince walked away to the Queen's Palace, with a less than pleasant premonition.Once he glanced back, looking at Prince Arhen who was still smiling while looking at him.

/In the Queen's palace

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince came to see you" said one of the ladies,

"Just have her come in" Her Majesty the Queen replied with great pleasure,

A moment later, the Crown Prince entered Queen Felicia's room and greeted her.

"Greetings mother, may the Lord be with you",

"No need to be awkward so my son!Come here, sit in front of mom"

The Crown Prince felt a little strange at his mother's attitude which looked very pleased.

"Good.."

The Crown Prince sat in front of Her Majesty the Queen who was reading a book.

"What book is that??" ask the Crown Prince,

"This?It's mom's diary. It has been more than 30 years mother wrote daily mother in this book.If there are other books also because it will not fit in 1 book" replied Her Majesty The Queen with a smile,

"Daily book??Since when do you like to keep a diary??" ask the Crown Prince curiously,

"It seems that since the age of 15 it has been a very long time" replied Her Majesty the Queen,

"Will mom tell me the summary?I'm very curious",

"Geez, my son is curious too?huhu, fine", please",

'No mother is usually this happy, what is it??' inner Crown Prince was astonished,

"At the age of 15, my mother was betrothed to your father who was 20 years old.I strongly opposed the matchmaking, but because the condition of the family is difficult, I was forced. At the maturity ceremony at the age of 16, I first met your father who is still the prince of the empress and has not been appointed Crown Prince. He's very handsome, but I used to hate him so much"

'You hate dad??But. it seemed impossible.' The inner Crown Prince with his flat gaze,

"Lho's?Why in the Count's territory??" asked the Crown Prince in surprise,

"Of course it's because the family of Count Devnia is the family of your previous empress, your grandmother" replied Her Majesty the Queen,

"But there is no record of it in the palace" the Crown Prince said in astonishment,

"Your grandmother asked that her family not participate in the emperor's faction, the color of the Count Devnia family is always neutral" the Queen replied,

"I wonder why Lucia was there, it turns out the late Grand Duke Darvin was taken care of by Lucia.I began to be close to the prince because Lucia was there.And it turns out he was a warm person, he was a warm person,over time the mother's hatred turned to her liking.After 2 years, the Prince was appointed Crown Prince and became Emperor at the age of 25 years.We were married, and you were born, mother was very happy at that time." the Queen is very pleased,

"So yes, it seems that mother does not regret having given birth to me" said the Crown Prince in relief,

"Of course not, in fact mother is very proud of you now.But.." the look on the Queen's face turned grim, The Crown Prince felt something strange with the Queen.

"The woman came to the palace as my lady.and attracted the attention of the Emperor.. Marry her and make her empress.until giving birth to a son.." continued the Queen in a very pressing tone,

"Mother?!"

"FEMALE BASE JALA*G!!"

Queen Felicia broke down the table and dropped it, until the tea cup on the table broke and scattered.

"Mother!!Calm down you are!!" said the Crown Prince while trying to contain the anger of Her Majesty the Queen,

"IF ONLY HE DID NOT EXIST!!NO!!"

"Your Majesty!!"

"Mother!!"

The entire Queen's palace was made chaotic with the anger of Queen Felicia.Suntil her room was ravaged poranda made.

/The acquisition of Prince Arhen

"It looks like my fish has eaten the bait.I have to finish my last plan.."

Walked quietly, towards the Emperor's room.

Next to Lily and Ian, they were in the Magic Tower to confirm which Mana Crystal was there.

"How's Ian??"

"Hm, I feel the curse is there too, but it's still vague",

"That means, the Demon King's curse is indeed radiating to the other Mana Crystals right?What's purpose??"

"It is possible to drop the position of Crown Prince"

"What?!"

Ian nodded as he looked at Lily fixedly.Lily understood what Ian meant by that look.

"Prince Arhen.." muttered Lily slightly in shock,

"True.The current magic mortal is the Crown Prince's proposed tool, and was designed by the Crown Prince himself, and is designed by the Crown Prince himself,assisted by me in inserting Nigreos' magic into the hundred-year-old mana crystal.Walau initially Mana Crystals were used for teleportation, but to use them had to go through many procedures and pay a heavy price,therefore many people prefer to take days rather than using mana crystals" said Ian,

"But, why would Prince Arhen want to take down the Crown Prince?" ask Lily, please,

"Of course because of the war for the throne between them.You know that in this Empire there are only 2 princes with the position of an honorable woman held by Queen Felicia, the mother of the Crown Prince.Prince Arhen is the son of the empress, the queen of the kingdom, his supporters are also not comparable to the Crown Prince who is supported by many nobles and small people" replied Ian,

A moment later, Lily's bodyguards walked into the Mana Crystal room where Lily and Ian were.

"Mrs!!"

"Eh?What was?I told you not to mas-"

"THE QUEEN'S MAJESTY'S CONDITION IS SEVERE!HIS MAJESTY SAINT ZERGAN IS ASKING YOU TO HELP HIM RIGHT AWAY!!"

"WHAT?!?"

/In the Queen's Palace

"..."

The Crown Prince stared at Queen Felicia who was lying weakly on the bed, and was being treated by Lily and Zergan.Ian stood beside the Crown Prince while looking at the Queen's messy and very severe room.

"He has recovered, the possibility of the Queen's mental is still weak, so it must be routinely given the help of white magic to relieve the pain" said Lily, said,

"By the way, this condition was exactly the same when I arrived at the Empress's Palace, the room was a mess with the condition of the Empress who was lying weakly on the bed" Zergan said,

"That means their condition is caused by the same factors" he continued,

"I feel the traces of the demon lord's curse here, just like the one in the Mana Crystal in Darvin" Ian said,

"What?!!The curse?!Don't Joke!!" The Crown Prince cried out in disbelief at Ian's words, but Ian remained calm,

"I'm not kidding, not even Vel himself was absorbing the demon lord's curse from that Mana Crystal" Ian said,

"Vel??who's that?" ask the Crown Prince,

"He's my right hand, Your Majesty. He was the one who helped me and Ian and Saint Zergan in overcoming the problem in the Mana Crystal" Lily explained,

"Well man?" asked the Crown Prince a little annoyed, though,

"Right" Ian answered quickly and looked a little upset, though,

Lily felt an uneasy premonition from the two of them if she continued discussing Vel.

"Anyways, this mental state can only be alleviated, and cannot be completely stabilized by white magic, it is too opposite" Lily said,

"I have to call Kel sooner, the longer the situation becomes more dangerous" Ian said,

"Zergan, it looks like you also have to look at Kak Fei's condition.he needs treatment" Lily told Zergan,

"Ah.can't" replied Zergan,

"Eh?Why??" ask Lily, please,

"I've promised someone, and the plan will go smoothly if I follow him" Zergan replied casually,

"Who is that?." asked Lily glumly

"Please"

"..lihide"

Seriate...
