Chapter 87 That Is All I Ask

• Because of the queen’s second attempt at assassination, the king canceled his plan of sending off General Kyan to the kingdom’s borders. He thought that if he was indeed the queen’s lover, then the general would do anything in his power to find the culprit. King Lawson needed his help, thus, the ones whom he shall send away from the capital were the soldiers who let their guard down and let that maidservant give poison to the queen.
• The royal physician had already checked Emery’s situation but because she was yet to regain her consciousness, she was still in an unstable situation. She also had taken quite a large dose of poison, making it harder for her to recover quickly.
• Until the next day, the king was looking after her, waiting for his queen to wake up from her seemingly endless dream. Surrounded by documents on his desk, he would steal glances on the bed to see if Emery would show signs of consciousness. Just then, he heard a knock on the door.
