Chapter: 296

If her family is branded as traitors, she may not be able to survive.

Actually, she herself wasn’t afraid to die. But Theor……

“Hey.”

The Marquis held Astelle’s little hand firmly.

Astelle, who was wrapped in anxiety, raised her head and turned to her grandfather.

There was no blood on her pale face.

“I am relieved that Theor is a child of the Carlenberg family.”

Astelle had thought that this day might come sooner or later.

She knew that one day her father would be executed for treason and Astelle herself could die too.

Astelle was relieved inwardly by making Theor her maternal successor.

Her mother was already dead, so even if the Reston family were to be destroyed, the Carlenberg family would not be affected.

The Carlenbergs could also lose their pensions or even titles, in the worst case. But at least their lives would be preserved.

“Grandpa, in case anything happens……”

Astelle was very sorry to ask this kind of favor to her elderly grandfather, but now she had no one else to ask.

“I buried the recipe for Theor’s eye color-changing potion under the tree in the mansion, in case there is a situation where both Gretel and I are not able to make it.”

If anything happens to Astelle, someone else has to make the potion.

In case such a situation arises, Astelle wrote down the recipe in advance and buried it in the ground.

“I need your help, Grandpa…… I’m sorry to keep asking you for favors.”

From the beginning to the end, she only burdened her grandfather.

Afterward, the Marquis hugged his poor granddaughter who was sitting there with her little wretched eyes.

“Don’t worry too much. Everything will be fine.”

There was a sense of uneasiness in the voice of the Marquis as he said that, but Astelle stayed in his arms for a long time.

She felt a little comforted in his warmth.

“This must not have been the first time.”

Her grandfather’s low voice could be heard in her ear.
