Lucien did not feel the need to worry about Lady Esther since she was now taken care of by Renee and some other healers from the Imperial Palace.
That night before she went to her bed, she was asked to meet by Renee's fairy for urgent work. It was only then she realized that Esther might not make it till sunrise. Renee did everything she could, but it did not work. Esther's body was rejecting any kind of mana passed through her.
It was just that moment Gladys appeared since Lucien had no choice. He was aware of Esther, but the condition of her body was much worse than he expected.
After a brief look over Esther, Gladys spoke, "I think it would be better to hear it from yourself."
Gladys had a unique ability that made it possible to listen to people's souls. He could communicate even death. And it was he who summon Esther's mother's spirit. Lucien was as confused as Renee.
