Ishar had never heard his lord say that he had a headache before.
While he looked at his lord with a puzzled expression, the sound of dozens of hooves hitting the ground echoed.
The nobles and aristocrats were getting closer.
In the midst of Ishar’s anxious expression, he said.
“Is it difficult to continue?”
“No, it’s not like that.”
“Then please continue what you were doing. Besides, the imperial physician is in the stable.”
“…….”
However, Hersis didn’t move easily. He seemed uneasy about something.
Ishar was getting impatient.
“You have to ride now, Your Majesty. Otherwise, the lead will be…”
He was about to say that it will be taken away, but it happened before he could finish his sentence.
Erwin swiftly passed by them. And behind him, two, three… five more followed.
Ishar still didn’t think it was too late. He believed that Hersis could easily catch up. So, he decided to do what he could.
“I will go to the stable.”
“…Stable?”
Hersis, releasing his grip on the reins, turned to Ishar. Ishar nodded.
“Yes, isn’t Your Majesty doing this because of Her Majesty the Empress?”
There was no evidence, but it seemed like there was no other reason.
“So, I’ll go check. Even though there are so many people in the stable, I’ll go see what’s going on. So, Your Majesty, please ride.”
He thought that by explaining it like this, Hersis would listen to him. However, Hersis suddenly turned the horse’s head.
“Your Majesty!”
Ishar chased after Hersis.
The young men who were running smoothly now reversed at a frightening speed when they noticed Hersis coming back. They pulled the reins, but before the horses could stop, Hersis had already slipped through them.
Ishar, after passing through the path Hersis had cleared, managed to catch up and speak to him at a faster pace.
“Why are you doing this, Your Majesty? Please tell me.”
“…No.”
Only the last word could be heard, buried under the sound of hooves.
Ishar shouted again.
“What? What did you say?”
“The Empress is not in the stable!”
Hersis pulled one rein abruptly.
In the blink of an eye, Hersis disappeared from Ishar’s sight.
Hersis was convinced that Liz hadn’t returned to the stable.
The ringing tinnitus and the pain stabbing through his head were the evidence.
Around this time last year, he had felt the same pain and a few hours later received news of Liz’s accident, so there couldn’t be a more certain sign.
“Jegiral.”
He cursed himself while riding.
How could he think of letting her go alone? What was he believing in?
‘I’ll be waiting quietly.’
There was no lie in those words, but looking back, he realized that he had rationalized thinking that nothing would happen because he was blinded by the competition.
Could someone who always surprised people with unexpected actions be so obedient?
Especially with such a tempting forest path right in front of her.
“How can I be at ease like this?”
The hand gripping the reins trembled white.
As they climbed the gentle slope, a straight and narrow path lined with zelkova trees appeared. The sunlight, filtered through the drifting leaves, painted a golden mesh on the ground. It was a serene and beautiful landscape.
However, Hersis had no time to enjoy it. In his mind, there was only the moments when his attention had been lacking, and danger had befallen Liz.
Hersis spurred the horse and swung the reins vigorously. The white-spotted horse, like a thoroughbred, silently endured all stimuli, swiftly carrying its master.
However, soon a fork in the road appeared.
As Hersis pulled the reins, the horse lifted its front hooves slightly and came to a stop.
His eyes shifted back and forth on both sides of the fork.
He couldn’t know which way Liz had gone.
The hoofprints were imprinted on both sides. Of course, this place was renowned for horse walking paths.
“Liz!”
He called out to his wife, but there was no response.
There was no time to waste. He had to rely on intuition. He was a man with a good sense of intuition, so in situations like this…
“Damn it!”
Hersis cursed himself once again.
Despite boasting of his accurate intuition, he couldn’t easily be sure when it came to Liz. The left path was a path through a pine forest, and the right was along a stream. Liz seemed to have gone either way, and the probability was fifty-fifty.
At the thought that a momentary choice was directly linked to Liz’s safety, Hersis felt helplessness for the first time in his life. However…
Even if there was regret in abandoning one possibility, hope had to be placed on the other.
If the discarded path turned out to be the right one, he wouldn’t forgive anything. Not the world, not himself.
As he was about to spur the horse again…
“Your Majesty!”
Ishar appeared.
“Have you found Her Majesty the Empress?”
Breathing heavily, he asked. A sense of relief flickered across Hersis’s face.
“Ishar.”
Instead of answering, he gave an order.
“You search that side. I’ll look on this side.”
Ishar looked at the fork in the road that Hersis pointed to.
Without hesitation or hesitation, the clever man didn’t ask questions.
“All right.”
He pulled one side of the reins and turned the horse’s head. Hersis moved towards the other path.
The sound of hooves rolling on the dirt ground shook the quiet forest path.

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.
