Chapter: 375

“I don’t know either. I never told him……”

Her father, the duke, had kept it a secret, fearing that Astelle’s engagement with the Crown Prince would be in trouble if he found out that she had an unusual constitution.

None of the maids knew except Hannah.

She told the other maids that she just didn’t like the Lintail fruit.

No one thought it was strange.

“Then did he notice everything? That he is his son?”

“……I don’t know.”

Astelle wasn’t sure either.

Did he only know that Theor was Astelle’s son?

Or maybe he knew everything?

“Maybe he doesn’t know that he is his son……”

After Kaizen returned, Fritz comforted Astelle with worried eyes. And then he said, “Astelle…… it seems His Majesty was angry to know that you have given birth to another man’s child.”

Kaizen has red eyes and Astelle has light green eyes, but Theor has completely different blue eyes from the two of them.

However, Theor’s constitution resembles Astelle’s.

In this situation, Fritz seems to have come up with the simplest answer: Astelle had another man’s child.

Astelle realized at that moment.

Maybe Kaizen got it wrong.

The marquis, who had been watching the flowing water the whole time as he listened to Astelle’s explanation, turned to her and said, “Right. Had he thought he was his son, he would have taken him to the imperial palace right away.”

Astelle nodded.

“Yes, he is obviously unaware that he is his son.”

But that alone was difficult.

Even a dense dam could crack little by little, and it collapses out of control in an instant.

Knowing that Theor is Astelle’s son will make him think about who his father is.

By observing the child and digging for clues, there is a possibility that one day he will find out who Theor’s biological father is.

‘No, you can’t do that.’
