Chapter 77
While the two of them were lost in the illusion of Lelia removing her cravat or trousers, she stood still.
This should be enough.
Is this proof enough?
Lelia spoke forcefully, and sat back down.
She didnt know what kind of vision the emperor saw, but she had to brazen it out.
Perseus was speechless.
He had to admit his own mistake.
But the facial features and atmosphere around the Sir Raymond in front of him looked so simr to his wife
When he reined in his impulsive thoughts, it didnt really make sense.
The eyes of the woman he saw that day were green, just like his wife. But Sir Raymonds eyes are light brown.
Its rare for a wizard to be able to change their eye or hair color.
If Sir Raymond in front of him was a sorcerer, he would have received some news from the Imperial Wizards. It was strange to imagine Prince Romeo, a great wizard, helping him with magic.
It was important to maintain a friendly rtionship with the Roseberry Empire for a long time.
Prince Romeo had also just returned from the Dragon subjugation, so it was hard to believe that he held a grudge against him.
He wasnt even an alchemist either.
An alchemist has energy simr to magic, but he couldnt feel anything like thating from Sir Raymond.
Because of that energy, alchemists usually disguised themselves as wizards. If it was too difficult to manage, they would often hide away from people.
So all his suspicions were caused by his conceit or feelings of victimhood.
Lately, he seems to be making more mistakes. His head was feeling muddled by various problems.
Emperor Perseus apologized frankly to Sir Raymond.
Im sorry for insulting you, I must have misunderstood something.
Lelia breathed a quiet sigh of relief, and said that the situation was terribly sad and unfair.
I have often heard simr suspicions It is a very shameful usation.
You dont need to mince your words, say what you want.
Lelias eyes lit up.
Maybe this was an opportunity.
[An opportunity to obtain the relic that Ruth has.]
Lelia slowly opened her mouth.
***
As she and Kalix left the Emperors room, she looked down the nearby hallway and saw Ruth. He seemed to have been waiting for Lelia.
Lelia turned to Kalix, who was following behind her.
Kalix, thank you foring with me. You can go back first, I will follow you soon.
Uhh?
Kalix had a look of disappointment. Whats the matter with him?
Lelia realised that Kalix was sitting on the sofa when she used the illusion medicine on the Emperor. She never imagined that he would have heard or seen what was happening inside.
No matter how simple Kalix was, she did not think that he didnt know the basic etiquette about not eavesdropping on the emperors conversation.
Her belief was influenced by Kalix wearing a neatly tied cravat to meet the emperor.
What happened? You dont look very good
[No way]
Just in case
She asked if he was also affected by the illusion, Kalix shook his head.
No I just feel a little dizzy all of a sudden.
Lelia was surprised at that. She became anxious again because she wondered if he was about to have a seizure.
If you are not feeling well, go back and take the medicine I gave you. I will be there soon.
Uhn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
With those words, Kalix hurried away like he was being chased.
[What if hes really having another seizure?]
Seeing Kalixs paleplexion, Lelia was worried.
It reminded her of the scene she sawst night, and she felt sad.
He has always endured such pain alone
Lelia decided to quickly handle the matter with Ruth and go back to Kalix.
With that in mind, she strode towards Ruth.
Ruth was still ring at Lelia as if she was his enemy.
If looks could kill, Lelia would have been dead already.
Lelia sighed deeply.
Sir Ruth, I have a story to tell.
Of course there will be one
Ruth twisted one corner of his mouth and smirked.
As he walked away, motioning with his chin with zing eyes as if to follow him, Lelia followed him.
