The Palace Doctor emerged from the Emperor’s room and announced that the Emperor had survived the crisis and was now safe. Ravini’s apparent scheme had therefore failed, as the Emperor was still alive. Meanwhile her grandfather was frustrated by the timing of the Emperor's collapse, especially when the Empire's future was so uncertain. Tia then asked why her grandfather had not been surprised by the news. He explained that as he had grown older, he had learned that people eventually face the consequences of their actions. He revealed a shocking secret that Jovanes had P O I S O N E D his own father, the previous Emperor, to gain power. Because of that, her grandfather believed Jovanes always knew a similar fate might await him. Although he did not directly say it, he strongly hinted that someone may have p-o-i-s-o-n-e-d (in case the spoiler doesn't pass the censorship) the Emperor. Her grandfather then asked Tia who she thought was responsible, the Empress or the Second Prince, Perez. This made Tia remember a recent event. She had personally delivered a bottle of deadly Tithi Spider venom and its antidote to Perez at Estira's request. Perez accepted the P O I S O N without explaining why he needed it, and Tia had not questioned him. Now, with the Emperor suddenly near death, she could not help but wonder whether Perez or the Empress was behind it. When they finally arrived at the Imperial Palace, they immediately noticed chaos everywhere. Soldiers and Imperial Knights were moving rapidly through the grounds. As Tia and her grandfather approached the Emperor's bedroom, they discovered the source of the disturbance. The corridor was filled with armed knights standing between the Empress and Perez. The Empress was shouting angrily at him, demanding that he move aside.
✕The palace doctor confirmed that the Emperor had survived the crisis. Hearing this, Empress Ravini was shocked and could hardly believe it. At that moment, Perez appeared and explained that he had been the one to find the Emperor collapsed on the floor. Ravini wanted to know more, but before she could ask, the bedroom door opened and the knights dragged away Maid Otua. Perez ordered that she be taken to the Knight’s Building and kept isolated until further notice. As Ravini watched Otua being taken away, she became furious. She blamed the maid for making a mistake. The P O I S O N they had used was supposed to be impossible to detect because it looked like a natural illness. However, something felt wrong. Ravini realized that Perez was not accusing her directly. This made her feel relieved because she believed there was no proof connecting her to the crime. Then another thought came to her. She became convinced that the Emperor was actually dead and that Perez was trying to hide it. Believing this, she demanded to see the Emperor herself. Perez refused, saying that the Emperor was alive and resting under strict orders not to be disturbed. Ravini did not believe him at all. Since Otua had not revealed anything and there was no evidence against her, she felt confident and pushed harder to enter the room.
I like to post spoilers for the stories I find interesting because I don't have much time to read novel due to busy schedule you will find me in most romantic historical manhwa comment sections
