Chapter 156
***
Sez left her palace once day broke.
She needed to check on how Rayton was doing, but the soldiers told her that even this required the emperor's permission. And since Sez was no longer staying in his palace, the emperor had not left any such messages.
Sez felt a burning frustration inside her body that made her feel as if she would wilt away. In this situation, there was only one person she could turn to for help.
“…Philip.”
Philip, who had arrived upon her call, had a rigid expression on his face.
“Take me to Rayton,” Sez begged urgently, grabbing his sleeve. “Before, you told me... to follow my heart...”
“I need to see my Rayton now,” Sez pleaded.
Philip looked at her with a devastated expression then moved his lips to speak in a low voice.
“…Alright.”
Philip didn’t want their relationship to come to an end either. He knew that Sez was the emperor’s only sanctuary.
“But please wait a moment. His Imperial Majesty isn’t feeling well…”
