Chapter 316
Inside the King's chamber, a sudden sneeze broke the silence.The King's eyes slowly opened.For a few moments, he simply stared at the ceiling, as though trying to remember where he was.Then he attempted to sit up.A sharp cough escaped his lips. "Cough... cough..."His body trembled violently from the effort.Not far from the bed, the Princess, who had fallen asleep on a nearby sofa after keeping watch for hours, suddenly opened her eyes.The moment she saw him awake, shock and excitement flooded her face. "Father!"She immediately rushed toward the bed.."You're awake!"A faint smile appeared on the King's pale face. His voice sounded weak and hoarse. "Help me sit up."The Princess quickly slipped an arm behind his shoulders and carefully supported him.The simple movement left him breathing heavily.Once he was seated against the headboard, he closed his eyes briefly to regain his strength.The Princess looked at him anxiously. "Do you need some water?"The King nodded weakly.Wit

Author POVQueen Dugan paced back and forth inside her chamber, unable to remain still. Her fingers clenched tightly around her sleeve as she waited for news from the maids."You need to calm down," the General said from where he stood. "Worrying yourself won't change anything.""Calm down?" Queen Dugan turned sharply toward him. "How am I supposed to calm down? What if the herbs reached him and he didn't notice them?"The General remained composed."Chairman Cole doesn't strike me as someone that careless. A man who immediately noticed the King's Dragon Exhaustion would certainly recognize the herbs hidden among the ingredients he requested.""He had better notice them," Queen Dugan said through gritted teeth. "I need his attention diverted until everything is finished."She walked toward a table and picked up a small talisman."I'll know whether he noticed once he burns the incense. The moment it is lit, I'll activate this talisman and listen to every conversation inside that room.

Adrian and Kai walked into the room that had been prepared for them.Princess Lila followed behind and gestured toward the luxurious suite."Chairman Cole, I hope this arrangement is to your liking," she said politely.She glanced around the room before continuing."I personally inspected everything to make sure you would be comfortable. You are important guests of the Prescott Family, and I would feel as though I had failed in my duties if your stay here was unpleasant."Adrian nodded slightly. "Thank you, Princess. The room is excellent."Relief flashed across her face. "I'm glad to hear that."She hesitated briefly. "Do you need anything else?""Yes," Adrian replied. "I need incense and several medicinal herbs."He listed the names one after another. Princess Lila memorized them carefully before nodding."Understood. I'll make sure they're delivered immediately, Chairman Cole."She offered a respectful bow. "Please excuse me."With that, she left the room.The door closed softly be

Adrian checked the King's pulse one final time and nodded slightly.The pulse was no longer chaotic.It had stabilized.The cold energy that had been disrupting his circulation was gradually fading.Without wasting another second, Adrian carefully removed the silver needles one after another.Each needle slid out smoothly.As the final needle left the King's chest, a powerful rush of blood and energy flowed through his body.The King's fingers twitched.Then his chest rose noticeably.Everyone in the room froze.Prince Robert nearly stepped forward. "Father?"Adrian immediately raised a hand. "Don't disturb him yet."The room fell silent again.The King's pale complexion slowly regained some color. The stiffness in his muscles began easing as his body's natural circulation returned.A few moments later, a deep cough erupted from the King's throat. "Cough! Cough!"His body jerked violently. Then a mouthful of dark blood spilled onto the side of the bed.Several people gasped.Queen Du

After leaving the old man behind, they all returned to the King's palace.When they arrived, they found Queen Dugan already waiting there alongside Princess Lila.Adrian's eyes briefly settled on Queen Dugan.He couldn't help but wonder if he had misunderstood something.From the moment they arrived, she hadn't made a single suspicious move. She hadn't attempted anything against the King, nor had she shown any obvious signs of panic.For a brief moment, Adrian questioned whether his suspicions had been wrong.But something still felt off.And he wasn't ready to dismiss his instincts yet."Chairman Cole, you're done examining my father-in-law?" Queen Dugan asked, her voice carrying a hint of anticipation.Before Adrian could answer, Princess Lila stepped forward.Her beautiful eyes were filled with anxiety. "Chairman Cole, is there a solution? Can Grandfather be saved?"The entire room fell silent. Everyone was waiting for an answer.Prince Harry finally spoke. "Yes. There is a solutio

“You don’t need to know who I am,” Adrian said calmly. “You’ll know when the time comes. Just don’t forget your promise to be there for me when I need it.”Prince Harry immediately nodded. “Of course, Chairman Cole. If you don’t wish to reveal it yet, we won’t press the matter.”“You can go ahead and examine Grandfather now,” Prince Josh added.Adrian stepped closer to the frozen figure.The enormous block of ice radiated an ancient aura, sending a chill through the entire chamber.He slowly formed a series of hand seals before placing his palm against the ice.The moment contact was made, his eyes closed.Silence filled the room.Several seconds passed before Adrian finally spoke.“The vow made by your generation to abandon dark magic is what placed him in this frozen state.”The princes frowned.“What do you mean?” Prince Robert asked immediately.Adrian kept his hand on the ice.“Your grandfather gathered every trace of forbidden magic within the Dragon Clan. To prove the clan's si
