Bab 716: No More Miracle

The physicians rushed in to attend to the emperor, gently leading Leo out of the room. He sat motionlessly on the steps outside, his mind utterly blank as he stared into the void. He tried to recall his father's words, replaying them over and over in his head, but his thoughts seemed scattered. In the distance, another carriage arrived at great speed, stirring up a cloud of dust as it stopped at the village gate.
