Chapter: 377

If she said that she gave birth to a child whose father was unknown, she would be dishonored and people would definitely point their fingers at her.

But Astelle’s answer was already decided from the time Theor was born.

“I’m fine with anything that happens as long as I don’t lose Theor.”

The sun was dimly dawning in the cloudy clouds beyond the window.

Kaizen watched as the white dawn light gently awakened the city.

Astelle’s bewildered look when he brought out Theor’s name stayed in his head all night.

Although he hadn’t heard the results of the investigation yet, Kaizen knew the answer to the question he was looking for at that moment.

That Theor is Astelle’s son.

‘How the hell……’

Astelle gave birth to a child.

It’s another man’s child.

As far as Kaizen knew, there were no men near Astelle.

He had already investigated and gathered information when he looked for Astelle.

Then, who is the child’s father?

What kind of life has Astelle been living for the past six years?

After getting a divorce, being expelled from the imperial palace, abandoned by her family, and wandering alone, how did she end up having a child?

Questions poured in endlessly, but regret and sadness preceded the questions.

A princess, a former empress, abandoned by her family, gave birth to and raised a child alone in poverty.

Kaizen couldn’t even imagine how Astelle had to endure the whole process.

It was too much of an ordeal for a woman who grew up to be a princess all her life.

No, it would be difficult for any woman to bear it.

And it was Kaizen himself who started and provided the cause of it all.

The undeniable truth tormented him terribly and made him endlessly angry.

“Your Majesty, I’m going in.”
