Chapter: 432

At this point, Astelle felt her heart pounding.

Astelle said in a low voice, “You don’t have to do that.”

She tried to speak as calmly as possible.

“What is important to you is also important to me.”

As she lifted her head, his deep red eyes stared at her.

He looked at her and asked earnestly,

“Give me one chance. A chance to protect you.”

“……”

Hearing Kaizen’s words, Astelle thought she had done something useless by hiding Theor from his biological father.

Astelle called him impulsively, “Your Majesty……”

Her voice trembled.

Astelle began to speak with difficulty as if to let out all the emotions she had been holding back.

“I have something to tell you.”

If not now, she thought she wouldn’t be able to say it forever.

Astelle instinctively felt that this was her last chance to tell the truth.

‘……’

Astelle calmed her mind for a moment.

She was almost ready to say it, but when she saw Kaizen’s eyes staring at her, she was speechless again.

Can I tell you this?

What Astelle is concerned about is losing Theor to the Imperial Palace, and Theor will be used as a scapegoat in the strife.

To prevent these two things, Astelle has been working hard for a long time by any means.

Can she get help if she confesses the truth to Kaizen?

He was a man who promised to raise an illegitimate child as a prince.

When he finds out that Theor is his son, he might do everything he can to protect him.

Kaizen would be able to stop Astelle’s father, the Duke, before he commits another dangerous attempt.
