I Won't Accept Your Regrets

Chapter 160

"Is there an antidote?"

I looked at Leon in surprise.

"Leon!"

At this time, Lisa bulged her eyes and tried to rush to Leon.

"Hold her."

By order of Raymond, the knight overpowered Lisa and shut her mouth.

"If you lie, you die right there."

"There is a remedy."

"Tell me where to find him."

"Instead of giving you what you want right away, I will have a request for your Majesty."

"You dare to play with me in such a situation? Or maybe you want to beg for your life? " Raymond chided him, barely holding back his anger.

But Leon did not back down.

"My life does not matter, sire ... I ask you to spare the life of the first prince."

Raymond's expression froze for a moment. This was an unexpected story.

"Are you really asking me to spare the blood of the former prince?"

"Your Majesty, the child did not know anything. This is just a boy who grew up believing that he is the son of the emperor."

Leon banged his forehead on the floor and pleaded.

"And in this attempt he is also a pawn. It has been used a whole life, and until its very end, it must become a victim of the strife of adults? Isn't that too cruel? Please do mercy at least once."

"Do you think he will spare Edmund's life ?! What a stupid joke ?!"

Lisa pulled away, biting the knight's hand, and shouted to Leon.

"We are already corpses ...!"

Soon her mouth shut up again and her body lay flat on the floor.

"I promise. I will leave the life of the first prince. Tell me where the antidote is."

Raymond's words stopped Lisa's floundering.

She looked at him in amazement.

Leon spoke up hastily, fearing Raymond would change his mind.

"We've always kept the antidote and the poison in one place. So I'm pretty sure the antidote is somewhere in the mansion. A pink crystal bottle in a silver-edged wooden box is your antidote."

"Live there..."

"I will go."

This was Carlisle's salvation.

It will be easier for me if I go there myself. Raymond looked at me and nodded.

"Carter, serve the Empress."

"It will be done, sire."

When Ellie came out of the basement, Raymond waved his hand, wanting the knights to let go of Lisa.

As soon as the knights released her, Lisa burst into new delirium.

"Your grace did not surrender to us! The one that will make us unhappy! Come on, kill him! Well, you want it? You are going crazy, you want to kill me and Edmund!"

Lisa flashed her eyes and rushed to him.

"Kill! Let it go, let it go! Aaaaa!"

The knights immediately caught her.

Screaming and madly rushing. Raymond could no longer see in this disgrace the Lisa whom he once loved.

Raymond looked into Lisa's green eyes, full of frenzy.

"Kill me now."

There was a desire to cut off her limbs and throw them into the field, but that would only be enough for one time.

"You will appear before the court."

"Ha, the court?"

"You will be punished when your sins are proven. When you die, you will forever remain in human memory in the form in which you are now."

Raymond spoke like a cut.

"And I will show mercy to Edmund. May my name, my son's and my wife's name be glorified."

At Raymond's last words, Lisa broke down in anger and screamed.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

To leave without even leaving a small scratch was a complete failure.

Resentment aside, Raymond summed it up with a small gesture:

"Ah. And if you want to know, your son covered his mother to the end. Even such a mother."

Lisa's fight ended.

Even if he did not see it, Raymond guessed what Lisa's face was like now.

And soon there was a scream from behind Raymond.

At that moment, Raymond felt fire and pain inside him.

The poison seemed to dissolve his intestines.

Gathering his strength, he quickly left the dungeon, stained with suffering.

****

Lisa's mansion stood on the outskirts of the capital.

Shabby and ugly, he seemed to resemble the end of his mistress.

The knights opened the doors and walked around the entire mansion.

"Your Majesty, please."

"We are looking for a box with a silver border. Rummage at least everything upside down."

The knights stirred at my command.

There was vanity here and there throughout the house.

But soon the knights just shook their heads, saying that they had not found it.

Burning with alarm, I went to the maid that the knights had caught.

She seemed to be the only remaining maid in the ruined Sios family.

I gave Carter a meaningful look, and he drew his sword. The maid was frightened and whispered briskly.

"Empress, Your Majesty ... you ... ."

"If you answer my questions, your life will be spared."

"Yes Yes. I will answer."

"Where is the place in the mansion where the important items are collected?"

"Aaa?"

"The place where the valuables of the Sios family are kept. Don't say you threw everything away."

The maid immediately opened her mouth.

"The library has a secret door to the basement. We have collected all the valuables in the basement. Please don't touch it."

"Show the way."

"Yes Yes!"

Carter grabbed the maid by the neck and lifted her.

We followed the staggering maid into the study.

The maid entered the library and pushed aside the bookshelf. Then a secret door opened.

I heard the footsteps of the knights who followed me.

I don't know how long Carlisle can last.

I searched the entire basement full of paintings and gold.

"Your Majesty, we..."

I ignored the knights' dialect.

I was digging here and there, and at some instant I saw a small box.

This is it.

I quickly lifted the box and saw a silver frame around it.

When I opened the lid with a trembling hand, I saw in it a pink crystal bottle.

"Pink crystal bottle in wooden box with silver edging -

That's what Leon said.

"I found it."

Liquid in a small pink crystal bottle.

Now we can save Carlisle.

Shedding tears of joy, I grabbed the antidote and threw out the order:

"We leave immediately."

Returning to the Imperial Palace, I immediately ran to the bedroom.

"Carlisle.

Carlisle's condition was more important, even though I myself could hardly stand on my feet.

Is it possible that Carlisle will die even after taking the antidote? Or am I late?

I was haunted by the worst fantasies.

"What's the state of the prince?"

"The medicine is better than we thought, so it's okay."

The imperial physician reported quickly.

And I heard Raymond's voice:

"Ellie, are you holding the antidote?"

I gave the doctor a small crystal bottle.

The Imperial Physician was immediately confused.

"Your Majesty the Empress. And it's all?"

"That's all. But why such a question? Do you need more?"

"This is ... um..."

The doctor looked at Raymond, embarrassed.

Isn't that enough?

If the dose is not enough, then we are left with no options.

At the time when my heart was threatening to jump out through the ribs, Raymond asked the doctor:

"Isn't it enough for the prince?"

"No, that's not the point..."

"So what other problems? Hurry up and give him."

When the doctor said that this would be enough, I breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed Carlisle's hand tightly and looked down.

Now Carlisle will live.

"Yes, sire. But..."

All my attention was drawn to the antidote flowing into Carlisle's mouth.

So it escaped me how the doctor looks at Raymond. And my father had nothing to say.

I held my breath.

Let us pray that the antidote will have an effect.

How much time has passed?

Carlisle's face, which had previously been contorted by pain, was now gradually relaxing.

The breathlessness gradually subsided.

"Let's take a look.

The palace healer bent down to examine Carlisle's condition. I held my breath and stared at his actions.

"Everything is fine?"

"No doubt about it, your majesty. It worked."

I burst into tears with a feeling of relief that filled my heart. I couldn't keep everything inside anymore.

"Carlisle, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry you were hurt again."

I hugged Carlisle and heard my baby's heartbeat.
