Chapter: 359
He said, “It was just a sudden fever, Your Majesty.”
The Duke explained so.
It is said that Astelle suddenly fell sick with a fever.
The emperor and the empress dowager did not doubt his words.
Kaizen thought it was a bit odd, but he didn’t pay much attention to it.
After all, after about a week, Astelle returned to the Imperial Palace with her usual face again.
And after that, Astelle’s fever never rises again.
***
Now, Kaizen who became emperor was thinking about the events of that day.
At that time, it had passed insignificantly.
If it hadn’t happened that day, he wouldn’t have remembered it for the rest of his life.
The sight of Theor drinking from fruit juice and collapsing from a fever brought back memories of the past.
Kaizen remembered the memories of that day and realized them later.
The tart that Astelle ate at the time.
That tart had a Lintail fruit too.
It felt like his head was fading white.
“I have something to find out quickly.”
Kaizen turned to Vellian and ordered.
Something that has been on his mind since the night of the fair a while ago.
“Investigate Theor’s birth secretly.”
***
Astelle spent the night with Theor.
While taking care of Theor, she had to watch if the fever rise up.
The doctor said that Theor had taken antipyretics and that it wouldn’t get any worse, but Theor was only five years old.
In any case, there was a good chance that something went wrong.
