Chapter 237 (1/2)
Chapter 237: Chapter 237 Present VI
My whole body was trembling from the strong scent of blood, but I quickly searched his pocket with one hand, while supporting him with the other. I pulled out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, when I heard his faint voice that seemed to fade away right away.
“… Tia …”
“Yes, yes, Your Majesty! I’m here! Please tell me …!”
While calling him with a trembling voice, I suddenly stopped because I couldn’t feel his body temperature as I had a moment ago.
I quickly reached out and touched his forehead. I knew I was very polite, but I couldn’t help it.
I was scared as his temperature, which was so hot, went down suddenly, but I called him once again, clearing my trembling throat.
“…Your Majesty!”
“… You are…”
His head, feebly leaning on me, fell to one side.
“Your Majesty?”
“… ”
“Your Majesty!”
Shaking off the chilling horror that came over, I put my trembling hand to the tip of his nose.
…I didn’t feel him breathing..
“Your Majesty! Come to your senses, Your Majesty! ”
His head was bent to one side when I shook it violently. When I saw him, I was almost spaced out. His body was getting cold gradually.
“No, he can’t be…”
When I shook my head, I noticed his red lips covered with blood in contrast to his face that turned white.
Yes, something bad must have happened to him. Who is he? Isn’t he the emperor who rules the 20 million people of the empire and the ruler of the only empire of the continent? It’s impossible for him to pass away like this. No, he can’t, given his vibrant lips.
I carefully put my ear to his chest. He might pretend to close his eyes, but I didn’t know when he would wake up suddenly and get mad at me for my rudeness.
“… ”
I tilted my head. Why can’t I hear my heartbeat? Why isn’t his chest moving up and down? He really looks like he is dead.
“Your Majesty, that’s very naughty of you. It’s not funny at all. Your Majesty, please open your eyes now!”
But he didn’t reply. Even his closed eyelids did not open. With my heart beating nervously, I shook him again. “Stop it now, please!”
“… ”
“Please stop it.”
“… ”
“Please…”
Suddenly, I was choked up with emotions. Then, my tears fell in big drops even before I could control my emotions.
Straining my blurred eyes, I shook him as he grew cold. No matter how much I shook him, he didn’t respond. I just felt coldness on my fingertips that touched his body.
Suddenly, I felt some hot liquid flowing from my lips. That warm blood falling on the back of my hands was so different from the coldness in my fingertips.
“Alas…”
I moaned at the warm drops of blood soaking my cold hand. My heart ached so much, along with the burning tears.
“Open your eyes, Your Majesty!”
“… ”
“Please… ”
Oh God! If you care about me at all and have pity on me, save this man, please. Although I said I wouldn’t believe in you anymore, I would do anything for you if you could save his life.
Even if you tell me to accept my fate without resistance, and even if you take back my second life, I would gladly accept it…
“… Ah.”
“Please…”
“… Ah, Tia? ”
“Save him, please…”
“Tia, come to your senses!”
