One’s Blood (8)

Matthias shook his head.

“No! No, Father! He’s talking nonsense because he’s crazy!”

His eldest son was pleading, crying with his only remaining eye. Paul felt dizzy.

He thought he knew Matthias. Although his temper was rough, he thought it would be Matthias who was responsible for his younger brothers.

No, Matthias is not that kind of kid…

While Paul remained silent, he heard something collapsing, breaking, and bursting windows. The maids, servants, and maids shrieked and retreated near the mansion.

The sound of the house collapsing, his family… He thought it sounded like a family falling apart.

“Put down the sword…”

This time again, Paul chose Matthias. Theo seemed to be red with anger.

“Father!”

“Put the sword down, Theo Adelia! This is the last warning!”

Last warning? What’s the last warning?

Theo felt like his heart would explode if he didn’t kill Matthias here and get rid of him. He had two younger siblings, but he didn’t treat anyone properly.

He only looked at his safety. There were times when he saved Rowena and Louis from Matthias, but that was all.

He gave up because he was sick and tired of fighting. He chose not to fight despite numerous opportunities.

Because it was scary and painful.

He thought that the circumstances given to him were too poor to even take responsibility for their lives.

This was the result. And Theo… He thought this situation wasn’t completely unforeseen.

While he was away, he thought Louis and Rowena could be beaten to death by his father or brother.

“Arghhh!”

Theo threw out his sword while venting his anger. And that was the second mistake he made.

Stab.

The sword, which was pierced from the back, penetrated Theo’s stomach.

“Matthias!”

Paul tore his hair and screamed. Matthias also pulled out the sword as if he were afraid after he had committed it.

Theo turned his head and stared at Matthias. But that’s all. He knelt on the lawn as if he was collapsing and collapsed.

Matthias stepped back, turned his back, and ran away. Paul, who was screaming, shouted for an officer.

He had to bring someone to save Theo.

The lost boy couldn’t open his eyes.

As soon as he heard the news, the brilliant crown prince sent two of his shadows, while sending a person to the temple to bring a competent priest.

There were already some of the best healers in the palace. It was because the crown prince kept them on good terms. After all, the emperor was sick for a long time.

Nevertheless, the priest was called because he could not be completely relieved. The emperor was also regularly treated by a priest, so no one would find it strange.

One shadow took the lost boy, Louis, and moved in the direction of the Imperial Palace, but the other hid near the house of Count Adelia.

According to the information they obtained, two people were targeted.

Louis Adelia and Theo Adelia.

One was saved, but the other was uncertain.

Oh my…

The shadows of the crown prince are commonly known to move alone, but they did not. One shadow moved from eight to sixteen teams.

The smaller the number of team members, the more powerful they were.

Those who took Louis were the crown prince’s most cherished people. Remainers were warned to keep an eye out in case there was a big surprise.

But they were shocked to see the sword stuck in Theo Adelia’s stomach. They had not been told that the cause was Matthias, Theo’s brother.

It would have been dangerous if he had twisted the sword or cut it sideways.

It was a serious injury, but it wasn’t really fatal.

This wasn’t a battlefield, it was a capital city, and the crown prince had already arranged for a high priest.

I can’t get myself together for a few days.

They left for the report. The reaction of the crown prince was also worrisome, but they wondered how the prospective crown prince, who had to attend the ball the next day, would react.

* * *

“Ahhh…”

A healer was sent in a carriage to Count Adelia, so he was able to meet them and receive treatment. Louis was moved to the Imperial Palace in that state.

His lungs that were damaged by smoke were recovered, and now he was just unable to wake up due to the side effects of the strong sleeping pills.

It was because Matthias poured as much of the medicine as he had since he intended to kill anyway.

When Rowena saw Louis being taken to the palace, she swallowed her breath with a pale face. The shadows of the crown prince clearly saw her green eyes burning with anger.

Why did this happen…?
