Chapter: 453

Of course, he knows all the villas in the capital.

He must have thoroughly grasped the radius of his father’s actions.

‘Do you think you can beat me?’

The Duke suddenly remembered his son’s words.

‘But Kaizen was also looking for him……’

‘I didn’t know that Kaizen would be interested in that illegitimate child.’

Obviously, Kaizen fell in love with Astelle. So I think Kaizen will treat the child like a thorn in his eye, and won’t care if he’s missing or not.

The Duke received a report that when the Marquis and the child had left for the East first, Kaizen didn’t respond at all.

When the Duke heard this, he thought Kaizen was trying to leave Astelle’s child in the eastern countryside.

‘Did he try to take the child to threaten Astelle because she rejected his proposal?’

I wondered if Kaizen was looking for the child for the same purpose as me.

‘I can’t go against Kaizen’s feelings right now.’

Now it was a very important situation for Astelle to become Empress again.

It was unwise to go against Kaizen’s intentions in such a situation.

‘What should I do with the child?’

He got up from his seat and headed to his bedroom.

“I’m going to take a rest, so don’t disturb me.”

He gave orders to the butler who followed him to the bedroom.

The Duke’s bedroom was as splendid as the Emperor’s bedroom in the imperial palace.

He walked to the wall next to the bed.

The light blue wall was decorated with white jade and elegant lily bushes.

The duke pressed the white petals overlapped under the bushes with his hand.

A crack appeared in the solid wall and a hidden door appeared.

The Duke had long taught his successor, Fritz, about the family affairs, but did not tell him everything.

Including this secret passage was not disclosed to his son.
