Chapter: 361

It was Astelle herself who knew the best answer to her question.

For her, Hannah was the most reliable person in the world.

Like her maternal grandfather, she was like her family to Astelle.

“I can’t hide it anymore. Hannah, it’s like what you think.”

As she might have already guessed, Astelle gave her the answer, and Hannah’s calm brown eyes shook.

Her eyes, which had been trembling in shock, gradually blurred with sadness.

Hannah shook her head, covering her mouth with her hands to keep from making a sound.

Tears fell to the floor.

“Hannah, don’t cry.”

Astelle wrapped her arms around Hannah’s shoulders.

The tears continued to flow from Hannah’s cheeks until they touched Astelle’s shoulders.

“Lady Astelle……the fact that I wasn’t by your side when you needed me the most…… I’m so sorry……”

The two hugged each other and shared warmth in the quiet bedroom where the dawn light permeated.

Hannah did not ask who the father was.

Hannah had seen Astelle who passionately loved Kaizen up close.

She also saw her deposed and left after getting married and spent her first night.

After that, what happened to her?

She did not ask who the child’s father was and where he was now.

Astelle decided to just tell the truth.

She no longer had to lie to Hannah.

No, she didn’t want to lie to Hannah anymore.

“He is the emperor’s son.”

She whispered quietly into Hannah’s ear.

“Theor is His Majesty’s son. I changed his eye color with a potion. You have to hide his identity. If it is discovered that he is the prince, Theor will be in danger.”

We must hide this secret until we return home, until we are safe.
