Chapter: 35

“So where is the father of the child?”

When Astelle went to visit her maternal grandfather with a pregnant body, he wondered about the child’s father. But he never thought that it was the emperor’s child.

Astelle had the confidence to go over without suspicion even if Theor yelled at her as his mother.

Unless you can only see the color of his eyes.

Astelle touched the vial hidden in her arms.

She had to put this potion twice a day at the right time.

Once at dawn, then at night.

It was the most important thing in this sudden trip.

Before evening, Astelle looked around the garden and came back to the room.

It was the moment when she arrived in front of the door and held the doorknob and opened the door.

Someone gossiping inside.

“Is she really the former empress?”

“Yes. She is the Duke’s daughter.”

“But why is she so shabby? Did you see when she brought her luggage?

It was the voices of the maids who were assigned during the day.

“Why did she reappear? Is she trying to seduce His Majesty……?”

“No way. Is she come to seduce His Majesty with such a shabby appearance?”

The maids burst of loud laughter.

Astelle paused for a moment and opened the door.

When the door opened, the maids who were talking in the room turned around in a hurry.

“La, Lady.”

The maids bent their knees with faces full of frustration and lowered their heads deeply.

Theor didn’t know what he had just heard but he seemed to feel something was wrong.
