"I keep looking."

"I'm sorry. I brought the burden to my father."

"Don't say that. Protecting children is a natural thing for parents to do."

Evelynn lowered the corners of her eyes as they gently touched her shoulders.

"Relax."

The Duke got up and left Evelynn's room, leaving only those words.

In front of the door, the attending physician stood with a heavy expression on his face.

"Do you have anything to say to me?"

"Yes. I have something to tell you."

"Go to the office."

The footsteps of the peacock as he turned around and stepped forward were heavier than ever.

Returning to the office, he sat down at his desk and closed his eyes.

Then, Assistant Peron and the attending physician followed.

Silence fell for a moment in the office.

The duke, who soon opened his eyes, asked the doctor.

"Okay, what do you have to say?"

"It seems like there is a need for research on the condition of the young lady."

"What do you mean? Didn't you say it was an aftereffect of a fever?"

"High fever, body aches and headaches are clearly symptoms of a fever. However, the appearance of green spots is not a symptom of a fever. It's the first time I've ever seen a spot shape."

"But why did you say fever?"

Duke Peyton asked, narrowing his brow.

"At the moment, there is no name of disease that can explain the girl's symptoms other than fever."

"So, does that mean that glare symptoms may not be the aftereffects of a fever?"

"I can't say for sure right now. Give me time and I will study it."

"If you find the name of the disease, will you be able to find a way to cure the glare?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't guarantee. The optic nerve is already damaged."

Duke Peyton let out a long sigh as he looked at the doctor who shook his head deeply.

"I will do my best to help you recover."

"I know. Let's just go back."

As the doctor left, Peron looked at the peacock with a worried expression.

"Peron, you better check the inside of the mansion."

"It would be difficult to find the culprit without knowing the name of the disease."

"I will. Still, see if there's anything suspicious. The timing is too complicated."

The bitter eyes narrowed for an instant.

The Crown Prince's oracle, which had been thoroughly hidden in the imperial family, suddenly leaked out of nowhere one day.

Although it was not widely known, it was a situation that anyone with money and intelligence could find out.

Does the Emperor really not know about it?

No way. They do not know that the imperial secret organization is monitoring the entire empire.

But why are you standing still?

After the contents of the oracle became known, the actions of the Crown Prince, who invited Princess Shabini, as if waiting for this moment, were also suspicious.
