A few days later, the Empress came to the Addis family.
"Your Majesty, hurry up and eat inside."
Chloe greeted the Empress politely.
At this moment, she was the owner of Addis. Because Alessandro, the head of the house, left again in the Black Fog.
The Empress also came to know about it.
"Kanna, where is that bitch?"
The Empress let out a rough breath. Her skin and bones were in close contact with her from enduring the pain for several days. Chloe was taken aback by how quickly The Empress looked 10 years old, but she didn't show it.
"I will serve you, Your Majesty."
Chloe took the lead and personally led the Empress into Kanna's room.
Jump!
The Empress threw Kanna's door open.
"Leave the Duchess out."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
When Chloe closed the door, the Empress let go of all reason.
'Kanna."
The look in her eyes that won't let go if she gets caught. At that time, her expression was almost that of a resentful demon.
However.
"Welcome, Your Majesty."
Kanna gets up from the bed with signs of illness. She had a pale complexion as if she was really ill.
However, the pain of that bitch is not important. The Empress was on the verge of going crazy for days!
It really hurt enough to bring out bloody tears. And even now, even at this moment, even this moment of exhaling!
Pain, pain, pain.
Only pain! The Empress was thinking of going from Kanna's cheek first. She was going to be tyrannical to give her the medicine after that......
Before that. Kanna moved first.
"..."
Kanna got out of bed. She took a small bottle of medicine from the bedside shelf and held it out.
The Empress accepted it and drank it unconsciously.
Ah...
The effect was surprisingly immediate. The vicious pain, as if the pharynx was piercing the whole body, was gone!
"Ahhh!"
But it was only for a short while. A moment so short that it can be called an instant. But the cessation of pain, which lasted for several days, was almost liberating.
Tears welled up in the Empress's eyes. Her legs gave out and she slumped in her seat.
That medicine can make the pain go away. That woman can save her. The moment it became clear, everything was pushed back.
The shame and humiliation suffered a few days ago. Humiliation and anger. It was nothing in front of the animal instinct, the primal desire to escape pain.
She doesn't want to be sick anymore.
That was all.
Nothing else matters, nothing!
"Duchess, please help me. Please..."
The Empress's shoulders tremble slightly. The Empress grabbed Kanna's feet. And she looked up from a low place to a high place. Kanna's black eyes are looking down.
But now it just felt natural.
The only one who can save her. It was like a God. So it was only natural to look down!
"I... I was all wrong. I'll apologize. I was stupid Duchess. So please..."
Huh...
The Empress burst into weeping. Even as a little girl. Kanna had never burst out crying like this.
"Please, save me. It hurts. I Feel sick to death."
Tears and mucus poured out and dripped down to saliva. Again, her whole body starts to ache violently. It's like being burned alive. It seems that an invisible fire continues to burn the skin.
How many times has the Empress fainted in the past few days?
Should she rather die, or die by taking poison, How many times has she suffered from suicidal thoughts!
The Empress hates getting sick!
She'd do anything to get the peace she just tasted once again.
The power and position she had accumulated, the gold and silver treasures, nothing could take away the pain. She couldn't even get rid of eye mucus!
"I will give you everything. I will give you everything I have! Please save me from this pain. I if anyone could save me. I would beg for it, even if it was the devil, even if it meant selling my soul!'
"Your majesty."
Kanna slowly lowered her body. Actually, it wasn't that surprising. It was a well-expected reaction.
No veteran warrior would be able to remain sane in the face of such torture.
How could the Empress, who had lived her entire life gracefully and unaware of pain, be able to endure it?
"Your Majesty, after looking at your condition for a while. I have been thinking about it."
She let out a sigh of regret.
"It's the same as Her Highness Princess Amelia's illness, but it seems that your symptoms have gotten worse because you are older."
Then, she patted the Empress on the shoulder.
"So don't worry. Anyway, it's the same type of disease as Her Highness's the Princess so it wasn't difficult to make a cure."
"I-really?"
Empress's face was filled with hope. It is the eyes that saw a ray of light in the darkness.
"Yes. However, the effect will be temporary, just like before. Unfortunately, we have not yet been able to create a perfect cure."
The Empress shook her head hastily. That alone was good. She wanted it because it was good even if it was only for a moment.
Anything, anything, that can relieve her of this terrible pain and suffering that feels like an eternity!
"Yeah, that's good too. If only I could get out of this pain even if it for temporary!"
"No, don't say that."
"What, what! "
"It cannot be over in a moment. I will definitely cure Your Majesty."
For an instant, the Empress's eyes flickered.
Is she going to cure her?
Doubts inevitably soar. Even though she lost her reason, she didn't even lose her memory. All of the memories of her treating Kanna like a brute remain intact, and Kanna must remember too...
What? Is she still going to save her?
The Empress questioned in a trembling voice in complete disbelief.
"I...... Really?"
"Yes. As you can see from the effects of the drug just now, it is promising."
Clear eyes, heartfelt voice.
At some point, as the Empress looked up blankly, tears flowed down by themselves.
How could this be?
Kanna has enough to hate the Empress.
But Kanna didn't. The Empress shuddered deeply in her heart. She was a woman whose vessel itself was different from herself...
"If we keep doing research, we might be able to create a drug that works for a long time."
Kanna spoke slowly.
"Maybe one day we can develop a cure. But in order to do that, we need to have an optimal environment."
The Empress shook her head frantically.
It was fine to give up one's position as long as this pain could be completely erased. It's because she'd rather die than live in pain that burns her whole body for the rest of her life.
If only she could become healthy again. She would give up her position, her life, and everything she had!
"I will support you!"
The Empress shouted fervently, holding on to Kanna's body.
"If you need anything, tell me! We will generously support you with everything you need for your research, including money, manpower, and materials!"
"I will do my best for Your Majesty."
"Oh. Thank you."
The Empress whispered as her shoulders trembled.
"Thank you. I am very grateful. Sorry. My... I'm so sorry....... Thank you."
Kanna held her breath. She watched the scene and enjoyed it
The image of the most noble woman in this empire lying on her knees like a beast and bursting into tears. A moment to hold her feet and repeat her thanks and her apologies.
Everyone will be shocked when they see this. It was such an incredible scene. However. Kanna just smiled relievedly.
She even felt proud as if she had completed the puzzle.
"Poor Your Majesty. Why did you get this disease...."
