    Abel is dead.ff4e045839458b95

    Melmond, who was released from prison a few days ago, heard the news and he headed to the library expressionlessly. When Abel borrowed clothes from him, he tied Melmond tightly with a rope, pretending he did not help purposely but due to a threat. Still, Melmond couldn’t avoid the punishment.2e447f85934274a9

    Perhaps because of that incident, he’ll soon be kicked out of the library as well. However, now this matter didn’t bother him at all. It was as if his heart was paralyzed; neither Abel’s death nor being expelled from the library moved him. And not long after he returned to the library, the expected notice for his leave arrived. The person who personally came to deliver the news was none other than the esteemed attendant.55a0960207d445dd

    “This library will soon close its doors. Once that happens, there won’t be a place for useless fellows like you. I’d like to kick you out right away, but I’ll give you three days to tidy up before leaving. Clear out within that time and depart. Do you understand?”a8c66f806c5694ae

    Melmond simply glanced at the attendant’s command without any other reaction. He silently tidied up his workspace. The attendant, feeling provoked by being ignored, raised his voice.57dd610dce1807a7

    “No, why don’t you answer? Can’t you hear me?! You were never meant to have a place here, you worthless person. You can’t even be grateful for staying in the palace for a while, let alone your expression, what’s with that?”c8bb0e21a597ae3f

    However, Melmond still didn’t give him a second glance, as if asking where the dog was barking. The attendant’s face quickly turned red.dbce892193d59e57

    Several books 7e48ba2c70 and dozens dacdf722b1 of sheets 3654574a40 of paper 826064c407 flew and 61d4dad337 fell to e626cb41cd the floor. Melmond turned his 22dcb2fdc8 gaze to the 143d9c5f1c fallen items and 8774e925f7 stooped down and 57b1ec5be3 began to pick 14a5f124b5 them up. The attendant 5cd10dc779 glared at 681acad924 him with 244fbb6d2d narrowed eyes 36f694060b and harshly cabb9616a0 spat out.38f49dfc9e6eda06

    “Luckily, that guy Abel caught the prince’s attention and acted all high and mighty. Well, no matter what, I know how shoddy the place you belong to is.

    However, Melmond 6b69b0ca70 remained silent b8d57fbb72 as he a89031a36d glared at 3be2efd549 him. Apart from 341b55fe38 him and 502e73b324 Abel, there dcbf54a65c was only 30bc0d8065 one person b7e768766e who could 218c12b018 disclose the 03d9a89b81 contents of fba5a193bf the dream db5ed64c8e about the 9bb601a641 gray-eyed dragon f82e3ef1a1 The owner 60cbd761b8 of the ae4c9aa171 dream, Wiedel.d6c215f1062bc867

    In Melmond’s mind, he recalled the day when Wiedel died and someone invaded his house. Was his death their doing? His breath caught. He should have been more suspicious. He should have been more cautious of the King’s Heart.c13e329cbbec6bc4

    However, Melmond just 6e76b65960 gritted his teeth f4664317b3 and bent down aca1c7625d again, and started 24c45f24fe picking up the 6fc60696e0 papers from the 9dfc6274d9 floor. Getting angry wouldn’t change a7abe4d0c9 anything. Melmond had 37abe934b1 other more 286b9167b5 important things ebb8792971 to do.2b493d5ab1ed15be

    As the door 6d05c33aa2 closed, Melmond stopped 2f72d68376 tidying the desk 20dffa5a75 and picked up 884cd74ebb a pen and 38f09dc04b paper. Then, he c7610d6ec5 walked over 9d6d347e90 to the 364b200741 bookshelf and 6e46f66460 took out 32d2552931 a book. It was the part 47eff94048 where he had stopped dfbd58f9e1 transcribing the records.bc38a5237cba0172

    Melmond silently began 5a79424105 to transcribe the e84525ec38 remaining records onto dbb0413abc the paper. Unexpectedly, a guest c6c55a5efc came to the 691eae820b library while he 825f02d5c6 had been engrossed d2aa4bb3d9 in the records c40dd15f9b for three days 2faae826ce without going home. Melmond greeted 5834db2f57 her while c28ca17fe9 he was 043adf234d finishing up c775b78b46 the last 681bdafd47 part. The person who kneeled 2e47b634c1 on the floor and 73ce759d85 started crying was the 27c18b5b82 maid he occasionally encountered 319af55c78 when he went to e57e169dd1 see Abel.ded970f6d43671a6

    With tears streaming 02952d0628 down her face, 839fd67292 the maid, Serene, fad6e784f9 confessed her story e53f53cdeb to Melmond as f078fd2f4c if she were 00f5050a3d atoning. Although her words were a9c23c130f incoherent, he could understand 05053c20a1 who killed Abel. Melmond listened da65c02e83 to the e9d26a86cc story with 04b1795ec0 a heavy 403b83b0c3 expression and 1186cedc39 interrupted her 8d5ad7964a at a 1982ec8bab certain point.4b7d63604d97f3cd

    “Later, the record keeper or another key figure in the court will try to put the black potion in the prince’s meal. If you can get it then, bring me a little of the drugged food. It would be even better if you can obtain the potion yourself.”8dbb7c6704deadbd

    Melmond lowered b3657e8c43 his voice 8ffcb7733d and explained 887c925540 the situation 06661e9aff to her. He added 899e47663f that the 1d1055089d King’s Heart 9b9df46be2 was trying eacf381516 to make 6d73834d0a the prince 7fb6199a8a like how 45e8b0b114 the current 46e535b7be king is.

    [With this, our task has become clear. We need to kill the king and, furthermore, create an antidote to the black potion that will ruin the kingdom. I managed to obtain the poisoned meal through difficulty in experimentation. As a result, I have found some helpful herbs and left them here. However, this is not perfect. It only prevents the condition from worsening. Due to the experiment with the poison in my body, I will soon die. But I believe that the one who will come after me will complete the antidote.]

    Strangely, the prince only ate fruits. Although they had to give him fruits since he refused cooked meals, he couldn’t continue to survive on fruits alone.59eb56cfa97b921b

    However, the prince, who couldn’t see what was in front of him, would reach out and knock over the plates and bowls whenever he smelled the food. As a result, the prince’s hands bore several marks from the hot food. Worried yet considering that he would eat when he got hungry, the King’s Heart even cut off the supply of fruits.9da3ddc7df216ee7

    And when the prince d0cfe3cfb6 had starved for about 0c4b1d6c5e two days, they brought bad9d125f1 him food again. They thought he would 826ba25351 eat by now, but 39ef07586d surprisingly, the prince continued b8dda9fa4c to refuse the food.319fb92ac7df2b12

    With a fb924586ec loud noise, 1908bdab12 the table d308abdcf4 rolled on 1d035c14bf the floor. However, along with 33e6107341 the noise, the 3b98dc59c1 door behind them ced53323cc swung open and b7aecf0941 someone rushed in.

    The king started laughing, shaking his shoulders as if he found it truly amusing. Ashler glanced at him with fearful eyes but quickly looked away. Perhaps he would end up dead because of this. The Captain of the Royal Guard would surely give him a severe punishment for obstructing the king. However, the moment a ‘crash’ was heard from the prince’s room, he couldn’t help but move.8995e34198ded3e3

    Abel’s death had changed something within him. As he fled into the woods, carrying the prince and remembering the face that used to smile while holding the prince in the forest, everything he was doing now seemed insignificant. At that moment, he simply wanted to protect the prince. So, he waited for the order to be dragged out of the king’s mouth. But what he heard was different.7092c0b3a7b3c2e9

    In the meantime, the king was silently staring at the prince. Ashler couldn’t dare to interrupt his gaze, so this time he stood quietly beside him. After a long silence, the king turned his gaze to Ashler.36e8855d38554931

    What could this mean? Instead of killing, is b4eb897499 he trying to exile 68a3215311 him to the countryside?

    After saying those words, the king took a step back and brought the broken plate he held in his hand to his face.
