Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

Amidst the dreadful silence in the Tranquil Hall, the emperor's body was lying on the bed. At the same time, Felix's body fell to the ground while blood flowed all over him. The eunuchs and maids who were on duty to serve were also killed. Francis' arm was injured and the imperial physician was covering it up with a cloth to prevent further infection and bleeding.

"What happened?" Matthew calmly asked.

"There were a lot of things which needed to be dealt with tonight. After I finished all of them, it was already late at night so I went to the side hall to have a rest. However, in the middle of the night, I heard someone screaming for help. Confused, I rushed over and saw Felix killing our father. He was about to escape. Out of rage, I accidentally killed him." Francis could not help the grief from overwhelming his handsome face, as if he was too affected by the death of his father and brother.

It was only then that Matthew's eyes fell on Francis. He could see that Francis looked very disheartened, as i

dowager had been long gone and the empress was just recently dethroned. Only the current emperor was left. How drunk was Lucas that he couldn't remember the meaning of the death bell?

"Who do you think is eligible for the death bell?" Francis seriously questioned.

Sluggishly, Lucas answered, "It only rings on the occasion that the emperor, the empress, the empress dowager..." His voice faded away. He then abruptly yelled when he finally realized what had happened, "What? Did our father pass away?"

Immediately, the expression on Lucas' face distorted. He was so surprised that tears streamed down his cheeks in an instant. No one would ever doubt how genuine his reaction was, especially when he grabbed Francis by his collar. "That's impossible! You're lying to me. How could he have died? I just visited him yesterday. Our father scolded me with so much enthusiasm. He even hit my head in anger. How could he pass away in one day? Francis, you're lying to me, right? Please tell me this is a joke, please!"
