Chapter: 201
The garnets embedded in the dress shone dazzlingly enough to catch the sunlight.
‘I can’t help it.’
She can only hope that the work here will be completed as soon as possible.

For the next few days, Astelle continued to be busy.
She managed the annex, looked after the Marquis and Theor, and prepared for the ball in her spare time.
Hannah was also busy choosing a dress for the ball and fixing it to fit Astelle’s body.
Today, Theor clung to Astelle and asked, “Aunt Astelle, can I go out and play with Blynn in the garden?”
“Okay.”
Astelle ordered the maid to take care of Theor.
“Take care of Theor. Let him play around here.”
“Yes, Lady.”
Theor took the maid’s hand and went outside.
Hannah, who was putting clothespins on the dress, looked back at Theor and smiled.
“Young Master Theor is very active, in contrast to Master Sigmund who was really calm.”
Astelle who was lifting the skirt hem paused for a moment.
It was as Hannah had said.
Hannah, who misunderstood her reaction, apologized promptly, “I’m sorry, Lady Astelle…… I said something—”
“No, it’s fine.”
Hannah firmly believed that Theor was Sigmund’s son.
‘Someday I’ll have to tell her the truth.’
Astelle couldn’t keep hiding the color of Theor’s eyes from Hannah, who would soon be living together.

Theor was playing near the annex.
Astelle made a little ball as a toy for him to play with Blynn.
