Chapter: 245
Florin woke up to the nanny’s words.
The nanny spoke with a meaningful expression, “She heard it when she went to the hunting lodge. The child called Lady Astelle ‘mom’.”
“……what?”
Florin blinked at the unexpected word.
But she soon laughed.
“What’s weird about that? I used to call my nanny ‘mother’ when I was a child.”
“It was.”
Florin smiled and spoke again after a moment’s thought, “I should also find out about the child’s birth.”

The next few days passed quietly.
Astelle didn’t even step out of the annex because she had to take care of her grandfather.
A few days passed in a flash, and the day of the ball finally arrived.
‘Finally.’
As soon as she opened her eyes in the morning, the tension rose.
It was the day of the ball she had been waiting for several days.
Astelle saw the light of dawn reflected through the window and made up her mind early.
‘I have to do really well today.’
If her plans for today went well, she wouldn’t have to worry about anything anymore.

Astelle waited eagerly for today to get permission from Kaizen.
It was the first time in her life that she has waited so eagerly for a ball.
When she lived as crown princess in the capital, balls were just a cumbersome event.
The Marquis shared breakfast with her and reassured her because she was still nervous.
“Don’t worry too much. There’s no reason for the emperor not to allow it.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
