I Got Engaged to a Blind Duke Episode 220

“…His Highness the Crown Prince?”

“What?”

The Emperor, who had been looking outside the window, turned his chair and asked fiercely.

“I greet His Majesty the Emperor.”

“Ha, now you’re openly ignoring my orders! Breaking confinement and entering as you please? Chief Attendant, find Director Miller and dismiss all the Knights who were guarding the Crown Prince Palace! And throw that bastard in prison immediately!”

The Emperor shot up from his seat and raged furiously.

It was then that the Chief Attendant rolled his eyes with a fearful expression, worried that the Emperor might lose his memory again from such anger.

“Your Majesty.”

The Crown Prince spoke in a low voice.

The Emperor ignored the Crown Prince and fixed his gaze on the Chief Attendant.

“Chief Attendant, what are you doing? Hurry and call the Director!”

“Yes. I under-”

“The Director will not come here.”

The Crown Prince coldly cut off the Chief Attendant’s words.

The gazes of both the Emperor and Chief Attendant turned to the Crown Prince simultaneously.

“What did you just say?”

The Emperor asked with an incredulous expression.

“I told Director James Miller not to enter this place.”

For a moment, as if the air in the world had been extinguished, the Emperor felt his breath catch in his throat.

“…Who?”

The Emperor, exhaling a shallow breath, barely managed to speak.

“I gave the order.”

“How dare, how dare…!”

Unable to contain his rage, the Emperor trembled violently while glaring at the Crown Prince as if he would kill him.

The Chief Attendant’s face also turned pale.

What did His Highness just say?

The only Lord of the Imperial Guard Director is His Majesty the Emperor. But the Director doesn’t follow the Emperor’s orders and follows the Crown Prince’s orders instead?

Without question, it was treason.

The Old Chamberlain stared at the Crown Prince with a face that looked ready to collapse at any moment.

Why on earth would His Highness the Crown Prince?

The Crown Prince had the same expression as usual, as if he didn’t care about the aftermath of what he had said.

“I understand that His Majesty the Emperor’s illness is severe. Since you won’t go to the Imperial Physician, I brought him directly. Imperial Physician, enter.”

A white-haired Imperial Physician entered with a fearful expression, shoulders hunched. His rapidly moving eyes clearly revealed his nervousness.

The Emperor, his face red as if it would burst, glared at the Crown Prince with murderous eyes.

“Have you truly gone mad?”

The Crown Prince ignored the Emperor and looked at the Imperial Physician.

“Examine him.”

“Yes.”

The Imperial Physician broke out in a cold sweat as he carefully took a step closer to the Emperor.

The Emperor gritted his teeth and pulled his body back, shouting toward the outside.

“Hey there! Is no one around! The Crown Prince is committing treason!”

Treason, he said.

The Imperial Physician glanced back at the Crown Prince with a pale face, but he was expressionlessly watching only the Emperor.

The Emperor shouted at the Crown Prince with a face twisted in rage.

“I knew this would happen! I already noticed you would do something like this!”

But then, the Emperor who had been venting his anger suddenly showed the whites of his eyes and collapsed into his chair.

The startled Imperial Physician rushed over to check the Emperor’s pulse, when the Emperor opened his eyes again.

The Imperial Physician, who made direct eye contact with the Emperor’s golden eyes, hurriedly lowered his gaze.

“What brings you here?”

“…Pardon?”

The Imperial Physician was startled and quickly raised his head.

“Your Majesty, don’t you remember?”

“What are you talking about? Why are you taking my pulse?”

The Emperor shook off the Imperial Physician’s hand that was holding his wrist and looked around.

“Crown Prince, why are you here?”

The Imperial Physician’s eyes trembled as if an earthquake had struck.

Even when he had followed the Crown Prince here, he had been half-doubtful, but the Emperor’s illness was truly severe.

“Imperial Physician, what are His Majesty’s symptoms?”

“Seeing that he loses memory in short intervals, there seems to be a problem with his brain.”

The Imperial Physician reported to the Crown Prince while examining the Emperor’s eyes.

“What? Are you insane!”

The Emperor let out a thunderous roar from the side.

Ignoring him, the Crown Prince sent a stern look toward the Chief Attendant.

“Chief Attendant, how long have these symptoms been present?”

The Chief Attendant answered weakly with a hopeless expression as if everything was over.

“It’s been several months.”

The Crown Prince’s head turned back to the Imperial Physician.

“Imperial Physician, can you cure it?”

“I cannot guarantee anything unless I conduct a proper examination.”

The Emperor trembled with rage as he glared at them having a conversation excluding him.

What was all this strange talk? That he was sick?

Then the Emperor’s eyes sank coldly as he realized something.

These people were falsely claiming he was sick and collectively plotting treason.

The Emperor shouted with all his might so those outside could hear.

“Captain! Arrest this treasonous group immediately!”

At that moment, the tightly closed office door slowly opened.

The Emperor watched the Crown Prince, the ringleader of the rebellion, with eyes full of Killing Intent.

I will kill that ungrateful bastard so he can never covet this position again.

The charge was treason.

Thud. The Emperor turned his head at the sound of footsteps and his eyes widened in shock.

Why is he here! Why?

“…!”

The Western Duke stood before his eyes.

The Emperor glared at the Western Duke with tense eyes and instinctively pressed his back firmly against his chair.

His mouth went dry as a desert. Why had the Western Duke appeared here?

His golden eyes looking at the Duke were filled with confusion.

His mind raced busily, and his gaze simultaneously captured the Crown Prince and Western Duke standing emotionlessly.

At that moment, lightning struck his head.

The Emperor ground his teeth as he glared at the Western Duke.

“…Duke. Is all of this your doing?”

The Emperor’s voice trembled involuntarily.

If the Western Region, which had the strongest military force in the Empire, tried to support the Crown Prince, who could stop them?

That’s why he too had made plans to make the Western Region his ally.

“….”

“I’m asking if you seduced the Crown Prince!”

The Emperor raised his voice angrily at the Western Duke.

But the Western Duke still gave no response.

“Ha, right. That fool couldn’t have committed such a bold act. You pulled the strings from behind, didn’t you? You’re using the Crown Prince as a front to aim for the throne!”

Then, the Crown Prince stepped forward as if to block the Emperor’s gaze shooting at the Western Duke.

“It was my choice, not the Western Duke’s.”

“What? What nonsense are you spouting!”

Despite the Emperor’s roar, the Crown Prince remained calm.

“His Majesty the Emperor is currently in no condition to conduct state affairs.”

“You’re acting up like this because you trust that cunning Western Duke’s power! Civil war is punishable by death! Treason is also death!”

“…Your Majesty is currently ill.”

The Crown Prince’s voice was sincere, but it didn’t reach the Emperor.

“How dare you, how dare you! You’re making up a nonexistent illness to depose me! Guards! Is no one there!”

However, no matter how much the Emperor shouted, no knights came inside.

“Why is no one coming! Why!”

The Emperor couldn’t contain his rage and trembled violently before slowly closing his eyes.

Soon the Emperor opened his eyes again and looked around with a bewildered expression, then narrowed his eyes upon spotting the Western Duke.

“What brings the Western Duke here?”

What kind of magic was this after just closing and opening his eyes once? Why were there so many people in his office?

Looking around quickly, the Chief Attendant was kneeling on the floor shedding tears, and the Imperial Physician was observing him carefully.

The Crown Prince was looking at him with a dark expression.

“Crown Prince, how did you come here when you should be confined?”

The Emperor interrogated with sharp eyes.

“From this moment, His Majesty the Emperor’s state affairs are suspended.”

The Crown Prince, whose eyes met with the Emperor’s, fixed his gaze on him and solemnly declared.

The Emperor’s eyes widened as if they would tear.

What did the Crown Prince just say? Suspend my state affairs? How dare he!

As the Emperor glared at the Crown Prince with furious eyes, the Western Duke who had been standing behind bowed his head.

“I shall comply.”

The Emperor turned his gaze to the Western Duke with an incredulous expression.

Why was the Western Duke saying he would comply with the Crown Prince’s words instead of his own?

In the midst of confusion, the Western Duke approached him without hesitation.

“W-what is the meaning of this? Western Duke.”

The frightened Emperor stammered with a flustered expression.

The Western Duke bent down toward him. Facing the Western Duke’s sharp gaze up close, his body naturally shrank and he couldn’t move a muscle.

“Your Majesty, you should not have touched Vines.”

The Western Duke whispered in a voice dripping with coldness that only the Emperor could hear.

The Emperor trembled violently as he looked up at the Western Duke.

“…What?”

That the Crown Prince was trying to suspend his state affairs. That he was trying to pull him down from the Emperor’s throne.

Was all of this the price for touching the Western Region?

When he asked the Western Duke with his eyes if this was truly the case, one corner of the Western Duke’s mouth rose coldly as if his guess was correct.

“Your Majesty. Rest. Forever.”
