Chapter: 1032

“Ah, no, Your Highness. I’m not sick, just…… I’m sleepy.”

Astelle who came with Theor asked her worriedly, “If you’re not feeling well, why not call a doctor?”

At the word ‘doctor’, Gretel hurriedly dissuaded Astelle.

“No! I, I’m fine. I’ve already done a test. I don’t think it’s a disease.”

“Then why…….”

“Well, I guess I’ve been overworked myself. This symptom can also occur when fatigue builds up. It’s true, so don’t worry!”

Gretel’s enthusiastic explanation left Astelle no choice but to agree.

“If you still don’t feel well, at least make medicine to treat your body. I will be by your side to help you make it. I will tell the doctor to bring the ingredients for the medicinal ingredients needed.”

“Thank you.”

Astelle’s undeserved kindness made her heart ache.

Astelle said with a sincere smile, “No worries. Gretel is my benefactor and His Majesty’s savior, so it’s only natural.”

“…….”

She felt guilty for cheating on the kind Astelle like this.

But she wasn’t in a position to tell the truth now.

‘I have to tell Fritz about this first.’

How can I tell him? How upset would he be?

Fritz is the only duke in the empire, how could he have a child with a commoner pharmacist.

Once again, she realized how absurd this was. The more she thought about it, the more she felt this was absurd.

‘But I can’t run away from this situation.’

Astelle did just that though. That’s because His Majesty didn’t want her and Theor. But Gretel herself was in a different situation.

‘Fritz probably doesn’t hate it that much.’

Given his personality, he might say he will take responsibility.

As she pondered what to say to Fritz, she naturally avoided him.

He visited the infirmary morning and evening, but the conversation between them was brief because Gretel said she was tired.

“Are you feeling better?”
