"What else did we lack today?" Raymond asked a reasonable question to the urgent calls of the butler.

Maybe the doctors were wrong? Could it be that Carlisle's life was already slipping through his fingers? The Emperor could not stand the worry.

Now they stood face to face with one of the healers.

Because of what Raymond did not see what happened to the boy.

Raymond frowned at the doctor's expression, which was somewhat tense.

"Do your injuries take their toll?"

"Business here is not in health..."

The court doctor's words were vague, even embarrassing.

"Speak easier."

When Raymond's eyes went cold, the doctor immediately bowed his head.

"The victim's hair color suddenly changed. Maybe... I think it was not without magic."

"What?!"

This is quite unexpected news.

He had already personally made sure that there were no magical things with Carlisle.

As Raymond stood there with a pillar, covering his face with his hand, another Imperial physician said:

"Indeed, your majesty. Hair color... It suddenly turned black."

"What, what?"

Now he doubted his rumor.

After all, black is the color of his family.

How many times had he thought about it before?

And when it came down to it, he just couldn't take it at its word.

His heart raced at a gallop.

"Sire. See for yourself."

The doctor stepped to the side. Raymond's trembling eyes turned to the child.

And later they crawled out on his forehead, when he finally saw those small lips, narrow nose and eyes that once looked like Ellie.

And hair that was supposed to be blonde, but became like ink.

The emperor's family symbol.

Raymond took a deep breath to calm the shock that was about to erupt on those around him.

He walked over to the child.

Who knows, maybe after all that he has experienced, fables appear to him.

Everything was as if in a dream.

He reached for Carlisle with a trembling hand.

This continued until his hand touched Carlisle's cheek, and a feeling of warmth came.

This moment was real.

"He has my hair color. But how..."

"On the inside of the auricle there was a shard of a very small earring. Looks like this is it."

The court physician inserted it carefully from the side.

Raymond couldn't react now. Because he had nothing to resist his surprise.

When he took the boy by the hand in bewilderment, the servant came up and reported:

"Your Majesty, Duke Croft has arrived."

"Bring him here."

The audience will take place right on the spot.

"The Emperor..."
