"It must be hard because I haven’t given you painkillers yet..." As evidence, Perez’s whole body was soaked in a cold sweat. But Perez gritted his teeth and only moved to the next room that Ollier said.

 

Finally, the door opened and Perez found Tia lying in bed. A strong pain that could not be compared to a stab wound in his back of the moment constrained his heart. "...Tia." She didn’t answer. Only her chest, which went up and down small with her breath, comforted Perez. "A small wound brought in poison, but no other trauma." Worried that Perez might faint again, Ollier quickly explained.

Stumbling Perez managed to get to the side of the bed and plop down into a chair. The bandage on his back, which was already full of scars, was all dyed red. He looked so tired and sick that there was no sign that he was the Imperial Prince.

"Don’t worry... She’ll wake up soon." Even at Ollier’s words, Perez couldn’t take his gaze away from Tia. There is no such aspect that has always been full of vitality. Tia’s body trembling in fear on the running horse was still clear.

 

"I’m sorry." Perez said with his head down. His trembling fingertips barely touched Tia’s skin. "I’m sorry, Tia." Tears fell from Perez’s eyes with a small noise. "I’m sorry to get you involved." In this hellish road, where the Empress and he, one of the two, must die. Heavy drops of tears soaked the bedsheet. (Let me just go and cry in the corner 😭😭)
