Upon seeing his son in such a state, Bernard was filled with heartache. However, he could only step forward and tug at the iron chain helplessly.
He couldn't let Cedric escape, otherwise all the alchemists present would be in deep trouble.
"Cedric, stay calm, stay calm..." Bernard comforted Cedric.
"Father, letdie, letdie, I'm truly in agony..." Cedric was desperately trying to suppress his restlessness as he pleaded.
However, just as he finished speaking, his expression immediately changed, and he began to struggle desperately.

Bernard looked at Cedric, his heart aching with a sense of helplessness.
However, there was nothing else he could do.
"Father... I beg you... Please... Letdie, I'm truly in so much pain!" Cedric pleaded to Bernard.
At that point, living was too difficult for him. Death seemed like a better release! Bernard gazed at his son, tears slowly trickling down his face. Despite being the Emperor of Allardland, a figure revered by countless people, he couldn't save his own son! This sense of helplessness aged Bernard considerably in an instant.
Bernard cast a glance at Cedric, then slowly approached Jared. Although there was still a hint of anger in his gaze, the intent to kill had already vanished.
"Go ahead, all I wish for is that my son won't suffer any pain when he leaves!" With a sense of resignation, Bernard accepted Cedric's fate.
Cedric's existence was just a torment to Bernard, Cedric himself, and the entire Allardland.
"Your Majesty, don't be too distressed. Perhaps your son will be all right after taking the poison pill. Perhaps, only by confronting death can one find a way out." After exchanging a few words with Bernard, Jared made his way toward Cedric.
Bernard stared blankly at Jared, not understanding what he meant. However, there was a glimmer of hope in Bernard's eyes.
Given the state his son was in, perhaps the poison pill in Jared's possession could indeed offer a glimmer of hope! Everyone was looking at Jared, completely clueless about what he was thinking at that moment. They were even more in the dark about what Bernard had on his mind.
After all, no one could bear to witness their own son swallow a poison pill.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Prince Cedric, I have two pills here. One is the memory loss pill and the other is a poison pill. If you choose to take the memory loss pill, you will forget your past and lose all your memories. Everything will start anew! However, if you choose the poison pill, it will cause your death through poisoning. However, it will allow you to retain a shred of your soul with your previous memories. You will slowly wander through the Ethereal Realm!" Jared offered two pills to Cedric as he spoke.
As Cedric gazed at the black and white pills, he suddenly burst into laughter.
He looked at Jared with a touch of disbelief and said, "After all these years, you're the only one who truly N understood the root of my ailment.
You're the only one who truly saw me..."
"What is love in this world that commands one to vow their life and ΟΠ death to another? I believe that girl N was quite stunning. You are deeply in love with her..." Jared turned to Cedric and said.
Cedric paused slightly before murmuring Jared's words to himself, "What is love in this world that m You commands one to vow their life and death to another? What a profound statement. We truly did devote ourselves to each other. Now that she's gone, what's the point ofliving?" As Cedric spoke, he suddenly pulled out something that resembled a Luminous Pearl from his pocket.
The Luminous Pearl shimmered with a radiant glow, and within it, a girl clad in white was constantly running, her face beaming with joy! Meanwhile, Cedric was trailing behind her. Both of them appeared so joyful and content.
"This was the last tI saw her as captured in the Luminous Pearl. Every tI regained my senses, I would Ashburn take it out and reminisce!" > X
