Chapter: 194

“Don’t worry. I’ll only use him for a while.”

The Marchioness decided to retaliate against Astelle by using the young child.

‘A cheeky thing!’

I will definitely pay you back.

I will watch you weep and cry.

The emperor with great power could not be touched, so she was trying to vent her wrath against Astelle.

Astelle bathed Theor and took him to his bedroom, then back to her grandfather’s room.

“Why did you say strange things to His Majesty?” Astelle asked slightly annoyed.

“He will misunderstand, Grandpa.”

The Marquis was sitting by the window and drinking tea.

“Just let him misunderstand. After all, he already thought I was an arrogant old man.”

Ignoring the rebukes of his granddaughter, he drank the tea leisurely.

Then he saw Astelle’s angry face and made excuses again.

“Wouldn’t it be better to me to be misunderstood like that? That way, it would be more natural for him to think I kicked the child’s mother out because of her status.”

It wasn’t entirely wrong.

If the Marquis gives the impression that he is a kind and open-minded person without being bound by status, then he will be able to tell the story of Theor’s birth.

It’s going to be hard to explain, starting with letting the mother go as soon as the baby is born.

Astelle sighed and sat across from her grandfather.

“I’m sorry. Because of me, you received such a misunderstanding.”

Astelle had always felt sorry for her grandfather.

From the moment she found out she was pregnant for the first time, she continued to receive help from him, and now he is suffering so much because of Astelle.

She couldn’t help but be sorry.

Besides, her grandfather became an accomplice in this and was taking risks with Astelle.

“If it is to protect you and Theor, I don’t mind being misunderstood.”
