Chapter 410. Marquis Karl’s Shock (1)

Translator: Aura / Editor: HB168

Sovieshu frowned as if Marquis Karl’s words made no sense, so far-fetched that they didn’t even deserve to be heard.

“What are you saying? Navier is married to me.

“After the divorce, she remarried.”

“She divorced me?”

There was no edge in Sovieshu’s voice. He didn’t believe Marquis Karl’s words.

Marquis Karl tugged at his own beard and didn’t say anything to contradict Sovieshu, whose eyes twitched.

Although Sovieshu knew deep down that something wasn’t right, he preferred to turn a blind eye because it all seemed so absurd.

“Why would I divorce Navier? Did Navier… did she cheat on me with another man? Does she not care about me? Or is it because of the peaches?”

Marquis Karl felt the urge to cry and laugh at the same time. A smile came to his eyes and sadness came to his lips.

He recalled the close relationship between Navier and Sovieshu in the past. Back then, no one would have expected that Sovieshu would one day divorce Navier. The fight over some peaches was the worst thing that Marquis Karl could remember about that time.

‘How did they end up like this?’

“Your Majesty took another woman as your concubine.”

“!”

“That’s not all. You divorced Navier to make your concubine the Empress.”

“What…? That’s… that’s ridiculous…”

“That’s what happened. So Navier remarried and settled in the Western Empire.”

Sovieshu shook his head with wide eyes.

“That doesn’t make sense. I fell in love with another woman and asked Navier for a divorce? Me? How was I able to do that?”

“You did.”

Sovieshu, who was constantly shaking his head, suddenly stopped and asked.

“Is that woman’s name Rashta?”

“Did you remember it?”

“No. I heard the courtiers whispering her name as I woke up.”

Sovieshu thought about it some more and asked,

“Does that woman have reddish hair by any chance?”

“No, it’s completely different.”

Marquis Karl answered with certainty.

“I can’t believe it. I can’t believe I married another woman. I can’t believe I asked Navier for a divorce. It’s absolutely impossible.”

“Your Majesty…”

“Enough with the silly jokes! Please!”

With that, Sovieshu hurried to the Western Palace.

The Knight Commander helped him without saying a word.

Sovieshu entered the room which had been occupied by Navier back then, but it was completely empty. As soon as he saw the empty rooms, Sovieshu lost strength in his legs and nearly collapsed.

The Knight Commander reacted quickly, preventing Sovieshu’s fall. When Sovieshu looked at Marquis Karl with a stiff expression. Marquis Karl bowed his head, his heart heavy with pain.

If Sovieshu’s memory had truly returned to his days as the Crown Prince, then, from his perspective, he had suddenly lost both his mother and his wife. His despair must be enormous.

Sovieshu looked at the floor for a moment and then said, “Let’s go back.”

Back in his bedroom in the Eastern Palace, while he was examined by the palace doctor, Sovieshu asked,

“Marquis Karl. Did Navier… suffer a lot? Because of me?”

“Yes. She suffered very much. Very much.”

“…”

“She had a very difficult time.”

Marquis Karl thought that Sovieshu would now ask about Rashta. He thought he would ask about the woman whom he loved so much, enough to leave Navier. As he decided on the right words, Sovieshu asked another question.

“Is it possible to bring Navier back?”

Marquis Karl looked at him in surprise. The palace doctor, who was still there, also looked at Sovieshu with wide eyes.

However, Sovieshu’s expression was serious. He stared at Marquis Karl with determination and repeated himself.

“Alright. Didn’t you say I’m the Emperor? I’ll find out for myself.”

“Your Majesty!”

“Another question, Marquis Karl. Who did Navier remarry?”

“She married Prince Heinley of the Western Kingdom.”

“Bullshit! Damn it, tell me this is a joke at once! Please! You mean she married that child who used to run away from home all the time? Navier?”

He was startled. He raised his hand and swiped it across his head.

“It’s absurd. As affected as Navier… was by the divorce, how could she marry that… that child…”

Marquis Karl was close to laughter despite the sadness of the situation. He could understand the reason for Sovieshu’s reaction.

“Prince Heinley is no longer a child, Your Majesty.”

The palace doctor had spoken instead of Marquis Karl. With a frown, Sovieshu recognized,

“I overlooked the fact that the Prince must have grown up by now, too.”

Marquis Karl added a few more words.

“He is no longer a Prince.”

“Really?”

“He has now ascended to the throne as the Emperor of the Western Empire.”

“Western Empire? What do you mean by Empire? Isn’t it the Western Kingdom?”

“The Western Kingdom proclaimed itself an Empire.”

“How could a country that only has jewels proclaim itself an Empire?”

At that age, Sovieshu had shadowed his father, so he had learned the practical matters regarding geopolitics, and even led some tasks. With help and guidance, he would regain his former skills eventually.

But there was a lot of work to be done right now. Duke Elgy, Glorym, and all other sorts of problems that come up every day…

Marquis Karl complained internally, ‘… we’ll have to manage somehow.’

He felt that he and the other secretaries were under so much pressure, they would die in a few years.

Despite the distress he felt, he didn’t show any signs of it and asked the palace doctor,

“How is he?”

“He has bruises, sprains and broken bones, but nothing too serious. If he adheres to the treatment, he will recover.”

Marquis Karl looked at Sovieshu and asked quietly, “What about his head?”

Sovieshu narrowed his eyes because Marquis Karl had not spoken low enough that he couldn’t hear, but he knew that his condition was unusual, so he also waited for the answer.

The palace doctor shook his head without confidence.

“He did not suffer any serious blows to the head. In my opinion…”

The doctor hesitated, wondering whether it was right to say, ‘It seems to be a mental problem,’ but Sovieshu asked first, “Am I crazy?”

Once the doctor shook his head hurriedly, Sovieshu sighed and lay down on the bed.

“I’ll take a long nap. My limbs hurt a lot. Besides… I don’t know why I’m so sleepy.”

“I’ll change your bandages.”

“All right.”

By the time the palace doctor applied ointment to the affected areas and put on new bandages, Sovieshu was already deeply asleep, as if he had fainted.

Marquis Karl ordered the courtiers gathered in the bedroom to leave. He then left with the palace doctor.

However, he made sure to leave a knight in the bedroom to prevent Sovieshu from hurting himself again.
