Chapter: 220

“About what happened today……”

“It must have been her.”

No one knew that Theor was the emperor’s son.

Currently, Theor is merely the successor of the fallen family.

The only person who dared to harm a defenseless child must be the Marchioness, who had a grudge against Astelle.

‘You were trying to frame Theor.’

Although Astelle had endured everything else, she couldn’t stand this alone.

She couldn’t keep a person like that around Theor.

“What are you going to do?”

“……”

‘I will somehow make her disappear from here.’

Astelle walked down the dark hallway and turned to Hannah.

“Hannah, you have to help me.”

“Where do you come from?”

The knight who guards the gates asked the maid a question.

“I’m on my way back from the store in the town on the orders of Lady Astelle.”

The maid pointed to the maid next to her with her eyes.

Wearing a coat over a plain dress, Hannah opened the basket and showed the knight what was inside.

“Lady Astelle asked me to buy a new teddy bear from the town.”

Inside the basket were three little teddy bears the size of a palm.

They were red-brown, brown, and light-brown teddy bears.

There are three teddy bears with ribbons that look cute as if they were carefully made in their own way.

“If it’s Lady Astelle……”

“Yes, the daughter of the Duke of Reston.”
