FreeNovelWhen Francis arrived, the emperor was suffering from a relapse. The young pharmacy apprentice who was delivering medicine
for the emperor was so scared. He looked so pale and he didn't have the courage to look up at the emperor. Francis took the box
from the apprentice and ordered him to leave. The pharmacist ran out of the hall as soon as he received the command.
"Your Highness, what should we do? The emperor is in great pain. If we don't get more supplies of the medicine, I'm afraid..."
Andy said with so much hesitation. He couldn't even finish his sentence.
"This is a new type of pill that had been developed by the Imperial Academy of Medicine. Just let Father take it." Francis handed
the medicine box to Andy. The latter quickly took out a pill and fed it to the emperor. Without wasting a single heartbeat, the
emperor almost gobbled it. A while later, the pain of bone erosion inside his body gradually disappeared, and he finally returned
to normal.
"Father, I will be waiting for you outside of the palace. Please freshen up first." Francis, who was standing in the outer hall,
looked elegant, charming, and dignified. The emperor couldn't help but burst into a rage when he found himself in a total mess.
Fortunately, there was a hot spring pool at the Tranquil Hall. An hour later, the emperor finished bathing and came out.
"Father, I have already prepared everything for Lilian's marriage. However, as for the envoy for the marriage alliance, I haven't
decided yet. I have two candidates. Father, please make the decision." Francis offered the report with both of his hands.
Andy took it and handed it to the emperor. The latter had just taken the medicine so he felt comfort and ease all over his body. It
made him feel much better. Looking at the report that Francis delivered, he thought for a few moments while his eyes flickered.
"As for the envoy for the marriage alliance, just choose Matthew."
"Father, I will obey as you commanded. I'll send someone to deliver the imperial edict. Uncle Matthew, as the envoy for making
peace and the marriage alliance, will escort Lilian to the Great Jade Kingdom. I hope that the Bright Dynasty and the Great Jade
Kingdom will have a permanent alliance and will never be in conflict with each other again." "Well, have you found Felix and his
whereabouts?" "Father, I haven't found him yet. But when I searched his mansion, I found a prescription for the Longevity Pill. I
handed it to the Imperial Academy of Medicine to make some new pills for you. Father, you just took the newly-made pill earlier.
Without a doubt, it seems like the prescription that we found is the Longevity Pill indeed."
The emperor gnashed his teeth. If he still believed that the Longevity Pill could prolong his life, he would be foolish. "What the
hell is wrong with the medicine?" he snapped. "All the imperial physicians have checked it and they said it was not poisonous. I
don't know what's going on," Francis stated. "Call Harper into the palace." Francis remained unmoved and said, "Father,
although Aunt Harper is a good physician, she may not know anything about it. After all, she also studied the Longevity Pill, but
didn't find anything wrong with it. Father, when I was made aware that you are
not feeling well due to the pill, I asked Aunt Harper already. With your symptoms in consideration, she thought that the Longevity
Pill must be a kind of medicine that makes people feel addicted to it. And if they don't take it, they will experience all kinds of side
effects."
The emperor clenched his fist in anger. He couldn't be more spiteful towards Felix who presented him the poison. Thus, he said,
"Francis, you must catch Felix and bring him back. I must cut him into pieces!"
"Yes, Father."
Then, Francis came out of the Tranquil Hall to meet Lilian. As the princess who was chosen for the political marriage, she had a
am going to Uncle Matthew's mansion to inform him that our father had commanded him to be the envoy of the procession.
Everything is ready for your marriage. You should also go back and make preparations. We will leave early tomorrow morning."
Francis reached out his hand and put Lilian's disorderly hair behind her ear. "The Great Jade Kingdom is different from our
country. When you get there, don't be so stubborn and mischievous like how you are in here. Do you understand?"
"All right, I will remember all of that."
Francis was silent for a while, seemingly in deep thoughts. He then took out an exquisite box from his pocket and said, "This is a
gift for you. It's a long way from here to the Great Jade Kingdom, and I don't know when we can meet again. I wish you well."
"Thank you, Francis."
While looking at Francis' receding figure, Lilian had an inexplicable emotion in her eyes.
"Your Highness, Prince Francis is handsome, gentle, and kind to everyone. I can't help but wonder what kind of young lady will
be lucky enough to be his princess." Lilian's maid looked so infatuated while she looked at Francis' retreating figure.
Lilian smiled faintly and said, "Well, one thing's for sure. You won't have that honor. Francis is so gentle that he treats everyone
the same. Everyone admires him so much. But that's why everyone is the same to him. He likes the woman who is special. I
wonder who else is qualified to attract his attention."
"She must be as beautiful as a fairy."
With a smile, Lilian asked, "Fairy? I don't think he fancies a woman with a good looking appearance. The woman he likes doesn't
have to be stunning, but she must be extraordinary and admirable."
"Speaking of the woman who is extremely extraordinary and admirable, I know one." The maid trembled with laughter. "It's
Princess Harper. Prince Matthew treats her as precious as a pearl. Your Highness, I hope that after you get married to Emperor
Rolando of the Great Jade Kingdom, he'll treat you the same way."
Lilian laughed while the smile on her face grew even wider. "Your mouth is just oozing with flowers." She then thought to herself,
'Rolando, I'm coming for you. This time, you won't refuse me, will you?'.
