Chapter: 114
Astelle looked at Theor with amazement.
Theor was hanging from the rim of the bathtub and looked up at Astelle quietly.
Blue eyes like jewels were innocently twinkling.
With that innocent look, Astelle missed the moment to answer.
Theor asked again in an innocent voice toward Astelle, who stood silently.
“His Majesty’s eyes are red too. Why can’t I have red eyes?”
“……”
Astelle was speechless.
It felt like her heart froze in an instant
Theor didn’t know the details, but he understood that he had to change the color of his eyes in front of others.
He always did that, so he thought it was natural, and he followed it.
It was the first time he asked the reason.
‘He’s grown.’
As the child growed up, he naturally felt doubts about his surroundings.
Astelle thought that he wouldn’t listen quietly forever.
Astelle was expecting that the day would come someday when Theor was older and asked why he had to hide his eyes.
‘I knew that a day like this would come.’
In preparation for such a situation, she practiced what she would say to the child many times in her mind, but nevertheless, when it came to reality, she couldn’t hide her bitter and cluttered mood.
This was because she cannot answer honestly yet.
When Astelle just looked at him without an answer, Theor dropped his head and stirred the water in the bathtub.
“Am I not allowed to know?”
“So you can’t tell anyone about your eyes as well as His Majesty the Emperor, okay?”
“Yes, I will never tell anyone.”
The appearance of seriously nodding was pretty cute.
Astelle laughed and put her mouth on Theor’s cheek.
