“Rivampel.”
As I entered the office and called him, Rivampel perked up his ears and quickly raised his head.
“Terry.”
He stood up and approached me.
“What’s going on? Did you come to see me?”
“…It’s good timing.”
I felt an imaginary tail wagging in excitement. The resurrected cat looked at us with a slight grumble.
“According to rumors, Your Majesty, you named the cats raised in the palace ‘Bunny’ and ‘Fel’? Congratulations. I’m delighted that the future of the empire seems very bright.”
Rivampel clapped his hands and laughed, facing us. Rivampel subtly moved to block my view of the resurrected cat and asked me.
“Why did you come? Terry.”
“I have something to ask.”
“What is it?”
“Did you check the minutes from the last meeting?”
“Minutes?”
Rivampel raised his head, then turned around to look at the resurrected cat. The cat sighed and pointed to the piled-up documents on the desk with a pen.
“You’ll find the minutes somewhere here. Other matters were temporarily put aside due to the inauguration ceremony of the Minister of Finance. Do you have something urgent to deal with?”
“No, nothing to find. …By the way, did you hear any complaints about the abandoned tower in the north?”
The moment I brought up the topic, Rivampel’s hand that was on my shoulder visibly twitched.
“I haven’t checked yet. What kind of complaints have been filed?”
“Well… from that area…”
The smell of iron. The smell of blood. A nauseating stench.
Which one should I use to describe it?
After a moment of contemplation, I made a decision and spoke.
“On the way here, I met Lord Lilaneph. He said there were complaints about a foul stench coming from the abandoned tower in the north. He seemed unusual delivering such a message to me without any apparent reason. If you could check… huh?!”
Before I could finish my sentence.
Rivampel’s face turned pale, and he rushed out urgently.
“Your Majesty!”
“Rivampel!”
Even with our calls, he didn’t stop but ran like a madman. Startled by his sudden action, I and Reshim, along with Clint, ran after him.
“He probably went to the north tower! Let’s follow him!”
As we followed, Rivampel was already riding a horse and dashing away. I, along with Clint, and Reshim on a separate horse, headed to the north abandoned tower.
‘Why is he acting like this?’
Certainly, when I mentioned the words ‘north abandoned tower,’ his face turned blue.
‘I hope nothing’s wrong.’
We ran after him. As Rivampel stopped in front of the north abandoned tower, he dismounted and rushed inside.
“Ugh. What is this smell…”
Near the north abandoned tower, a strange smell permeated the air. However, it wasn’t the smell of iron but…
‘The smell of decaying meat.’
It was a truly horrible stench. And as we entered the tower, it became even more unbearable.
“Ugh.”
Jaelim retched, his mouth covered, but none of us stopped walking. The urgent sound of Rivampel’s footsteps running down the stairs echoed too desperately.
After descending for a while.
“Aaargh!!”
From below the stairs, Rivampel’s desperate scream reached us. It was a howl I had never heard before in my life.
“Rivampel!”
By this point, the unbearable smell and everything else left no room for discernment. I hurriedly descended the filthy stairs, rushing into the underground where Rivampel might be.
“Your Majesty! I don’t know what’s there! Please come with me!”
Jaelim called from behind, but I didn’t stop.
As we went deeper underground, the discomfort enveloping my entire body became more pronounced. And the reality became clear.
“Ugh.”
When we reached the underground, the gruesome sight appeared before our eyes.
“W-what is this…”
The underground was drenched in blood.
After becoming soaked with blood, the floor had dried up. Breathing was difficult, both due to the disgusting smell and the horrific scene in front of me.
Soon, Jaelim and Clint, who had followed me down, looked into the underground, and like me, took a deep breath. Jaelim raised his trembling hand, then pointed inside the cell.
“…That person…”
Turning my gaze following Jaelim’s finger, I saw a dead woman inside the cell. Her head was bald, her clothes torn apart, and her limbs had signs of freezing.
Her face was distorted, as if she died in agony.
“…This is the Empress’s mother.”
Clint, who quietly approached, whispered softly in my ear. Startled, I widened my eyes and took a deep breath.
Then, a wave of nausea rose, and I had to momentarily stop breathing.
‘That person… Rivampel’s mother?’
Her death was confirmed, but what on earth had happened?
My mind was in chaos.
“…Your Majesty.”
Jaelim quietly called Rivampel. Rivampel, lying face down on the blood-soaked floor, remained silent. Not even his breathing could be heard.
Rivampel was silently screaming.
Rivampel regained his composure hours later.
We guarded the outside to prevent anyone from approaching, and he, with lifeless steps, exited the tower.
“…I need to clean up. I need to clean up.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.

Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
