Chapter 1318: Gale Commits Suicide

"Father?!"

Ilsa looked at the cup on the ground that had turned into shards of glass and the grape juice spilled everywhere with a look of astonishment.

Ilsa turned her head and was about to ask why Gale suddenly spilled her grape juice, but she was suddenly startled.

Because she saw something incredible.

She saw it—Gail was crying.

And the crying became more and more intense, and finally fell off the chair and fell to his knees on the ground.

"I'm really... crazy...!"

"Father! What's wrong with you?!"

Ilsa rushed forward and tried to help Gale up.

But Gale is a man in his prime after all, and Ilsa is just a little girl who is not yet underage, so no matter how hard Ilsa tries, she can't pull Gale up from the ground.

"I actually...want to poison my own daughter to death..."

"Eh……?"

Ilsa's face was full of shock and astonishment.

The strength of the hands that were about to pull Gale up from the ground unconsciously weakened.

"Ilsa... I'm sorry..."

Big tears fell from Gale's face and fell to the ground.

"I poisoned your glass of grape juice..."

"I want to poison you to death and then succeed you as the 14th emperor of the Britannia Empire..."

…

…

Ilsa was slow to speak.

Because she really didn’t know what kind of expression she was going to use to face Gale... what words to say to Gale...

Gale went on to say:

"I'm really...unwilling..."

"It's you who inherits the throne, not me. I'm really...unwilling..."

"Before my father died, I told him that I was relieved, but these were all lies, both to my father and to myself..."

"I have been working hard to succeed the Emperor of the Britannia Empire and become a qualified emperor..."

"Everything I have done is to prepare for inheriting the throne of the Britannia Empire..."

"It can be said that everything I have done in my life revolves around becoming the emperor of the Britannia Empire..."

"The crown that was supposed to be put on my head was put on your head, Ilsa... How can I let go of this kind of thing calmly...!"

"Father..." Ilsa wanted to say something to her father.

But her mind went blank, and she had no idea what she should say or what she could say at this moment...

"If I had never experienced the feeling of holding the highest power in the country, I might really be able to suppress my unwillingness and spend the rest of my life quietly as a 'former crown prince' without doing what I do today. Such a mistake happened late..."

"But... I have experienced the feeling of holding the highest and highest power in the country."

"The pleasure of having great power when I became Queen Regent last year is still fresh in my memory to this day..."

“‘I really want to experience this pleasure again, I really want to experience this pleasure forever’ – this thought kept echoing in my mind.”

…

…

Gale, who was crying more and more intensely, almost pressed his entire upper body to the ground, and his forehead was firmly pressed against the floor.

"I really... hate myself like this..."

"For the sake of the throne, he even wanted to poison his own daughter to death..."

"I can't do it..."

"Poisoning my own daughter to death...how could I possibly do such a thing..."

"Ilsa, I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

…

…

Ilsa raised her little hand and stroked Gale's hair.

"Father...it's okay, it's okay..."

He continued in a soft tone:

"I won't blame you... you are just confused for a moment..."

Ilsa still doesn't know what expression to put on when facing Gale.

I don’t know what to say to Gale.

But she knew—she was sad to see Gale like this.

She wanted Gale to stop crying…

…

…

After an unknown amount of time, Gale's crying gradually slowed down and stopped.

Gale straightened up his upper body, which was almost touching the ground.

Although his face was still full of tears, he was no longer crying.

"Ilsa..."

Gale said softly.

"You have to...be careful with the Renn family."

"The poison used to poison you was given to me by the Rennes family."

"The Renn family wants to support a new emperor to make their family more powerful."

"What...what...?" Ilsa looked stunned.

She really didn't expect that tonight's incident was actually related to the Renn family, and it was very closely related.

Gale smiled faintly.

But in Ilsa's eyes, the smile on Gale's face at this moment was actually a little weird...

"I have not been able to ascend the throne of the Britannia Empire. I have lost...the meaning of living..."

"Originally, becoming the emperor of the Britannia Empire is what I have been working hard for, the meaning of my life..."

"And this meaning is gone..."

"I don't have the face... to live any longer..."

Hearing Gale's words, an ominous premonition surged from Ilsa's heart.

"I dared to kill my own daughter for the throne... I could do such a despicable thing..."

"I really... don't deserve to live in this world..."

"And... now that the meaning of life has been lost, I actually... have long lost the motivation to live..."

"Ilsa."

Gail raised his hand and pinched Ilsa's face.

"You must... fulfill your grandfather's wish - to make the Britannia Empire prosperous."

"Also realize the goal I have been working hard for since I was a child - to become a qualified emperor of the Britannia Empire."

"Ilsa... I love you..."

After saying that, Gail took out a knife from his pocket.

"Father! Don't!"

Although after seeing the knife, Ilsa screamed and rushed over, trying to take the knife from Gail's hand.

But - Ilsa's action was still a step slower.

Ilsa, who was a step slower, could only watch Gale swing the knife and pierce her neck...

...

...

"Hmm?" Camille, who was reading in her room, frowned and looked at the maid who was reporting to her, "Your Majesty asked me to enter the palace now?"

"Yes." The maid said respectfully, "That's what the messenger from Baiyang Palace said just now."

"Come to me at this time... Is there something important to tell me..."

Camille muttered while closing the book in her hand, and then asked the maid to help her change clothes.

Camille rushed to Baiyang Palace as fast as she could.

As soon as she arrived at Baiyang Palace, a maid from the palace rushed up and led Camille to the depths of Baiyang Palace.

The maid did not lead Camille to Ilsa's study or her bedroom.

Instead, she led her to a... strange room...
