Chapter: 197

“Your father may recognize him.”

The Marquis’ voice as he said that was filled with anxiety.

“Your father is one of the most cunning and clever people I know. He also has good eyes. He could immediately recognize Theor when he saw him.”

Astelle had the same thought.

Her father, the Duke of Reston, had been watching Kaizen grow since he was a newborn.

‘What would happen if my father saw Theor?’

Theor resembles Kaizen a lot when he was a child.

And next to Theor is Astelle.

Astelle brushed aside the ominous imagination and exhorted herself, ‘I will never take him to the capital.’

She would never do it.

“Do not worry, Grandpa.”

Astelle said in a confident tone, “I will never take Theor to the capital.”

On the day of the ball, she must get permission to send Theor and her grandfather back.
