Chapter 94: Chapter 94 – Changes

Despite having spent some time in the Kutu Royal City, because of the various things to take care of, Chen Heng had yet to go and see Olivia.

“Her Majesty’s situation is quite bad,” Kelly said softly as he looked at Chen Heng, “Her body is becoming worse and worse, and the time she spends unconscious is becoming longer and longer.

“Before, she would occasionally have periods of lucidity, but now, even if she wakes up, she is in poor condition.

“It seems that she…”

Kelly hesitated and did not say the final words, but Chen Heng naturally knew what he was trying to say.

“So it’s like that…”

Chen Heng nodded, “Let’s make some preparations. After coming back to the Kutu Royal City for so long, I should go and visit Her Majesty.”“Do you want me to come with you?”

Hearing Chen Heng’s words, Kelly’s heart thumped as he spoke.

Chen Heng looked at him and nodded as he said, “That would be good too.”

That day, Kelly brought Chen Heng to the palace.

The palace seemed incredibly big and grand within the city.

Compared to before, this palace had become more and more luxurious, and some things were completely different to what they had been like when Chen Heng had previously come.

It seemed that over the years, Olivia had spent much money on renovating her palace.

It was a pity that these things were useless. They could not provide the royal family with more soldiers, nor could they stop the rebel army.Now, Chen Heng had once again come here.

Around the palace, there should have been many of the royal family’s soldiers standing guard, but now they had all been changed to Chen Heng’s people.

The original people had been split into the various divisions in the army. With how Chen Heng did things, since he had come to a decision, he would not leave behind any potential problems.

Chen Heng had essentially already gained control of the palace.

Rather than Olivia, he was the true owner of this palace right now.

If he wanted to, he could replace Olivia right now.

As for the original obstacles, they were no longer a problem.

It was just that there was no need for him to do this.

With Kelly and Krudo by his side, Chen Heng slowly walked through the palace.As he walked, more of the palace was revealed to him.

Apart from a few female attendants, most of them were male servants and slaves.

All of them had different figures and builds, but they were all quite handsome and beautiful.

“Who are these people?”

Looking at these people, Chen Heng could not help but frown.

“They are Her Majesty’s servants, one of the ways she finds amusement…” Kelly said as he looked at them.

One of the ways she finds amusement…

Chen Heng did not comment but Krudo frowned and felt quite repulsed.

As they walked, they saw even more interesting scenes.

There was a very luxurious public bath with clear water flowing through it. It was said that Olivia often played around with many male slaves here.There were also all sorts of strange amusement facilities, causing Chen Heng to frown.

It seemed that over the past few years, Olivia had focused much on amusement.

Simply put, she was quite unrestrained and extravagant.

Kelly’s expression did not change.

For him, who was often by Olivia’s side, he had become used to this.

After a long walk, Chen Heng finally saw Olivia.

She was wearing a white robe and lay on her bed, her body covered with the smell of medicine. Her face was very sallow and covered with wrinkles; rather than looking like a middle-aged woman in her early forties, she looked like a fifty or sixty year old woman.

She no longer had the splendor of her earlier years.She lay on the bed and occasionally murmured.

Chen Heng had a female attendant try to wake up a few times, but there was no response.

“This is how Her Majesty has been…” the female attendant responsible for looking after Olivia said in frustration, “Unless Her Majesty wakes up herself, this is how she always is.”

“It has already reached this stage?” Kelly’s expression was serious as he thought of someone.

The previous King had gone through the same stages. In his later years, he was confined to his bed and spent most of his time unconscious.

It seemed that Olivia was following in the late King’s footsteps.

Chen Heng personally examined Olivia.

Life energy not only could strengthen the body but could also allow one to understand the body.

From Chen Heng’s examination, he found that Olivia was already extremely weak and almost at her final breath.

Who knew how long she would be able to last for.

“How many children does Her Majesty have?” Chen Heng sighed before asking.

“Her Majesty did not get married so she does not have any legitimate heirs, but she has a child…” Kelly hesitated before saying.

“Who is the child’s father?” Chen Heng asked as he frowned.

“A male slave in the palace,” Kelly replied.

An illegitimate child born with a male slave naturally would not be recognized by most nobles, nor could he succeed the throne.

As such, the throne would most likely fall to someone else.

Of course, this was assuming that the royal family still survived after this crisis.

“Let’s go.”

Looking at Olivia, Chen Heng shook his head and walked out of the palace with the two others.

After leaving the palace, they went back to their residences to do the work that they had.

In the current situation, all of them were extremely busy, and did not have much free time.

Just like that, time continued to pass, and the situation in the Kutu Principality continued to develop.

In the south, the rebel army continued to head north.

Through their victories, the rulers in their way either joined them or were either defeated by them and pillaged.

Just like that, they came closer and closer to the Kutu Royal City.
