Chapter: 481

How could he treat such a young kid so badly that he was bruised?

He is still his only grandson.

When she divorced and was kicked out of the house, her affection for her father disappeared, but she still wanted her father to live safely for the past six years.

If her father got into trouble, Astelle herself won’t be safe.

But now things have changed.

He kidnapped and hurt Theor.

I couldn’t forgive you.

I won’t leave you alone.

Astelle intended to usurp the title and power of her father.

In order for Astelle and Theor to live comfortably, the Duke had to disappear.

As she closed the lid of the ointment and rose from her seat, an innocent voice stopped her.

“Mom.”

Theor, who was petting Blinn, looked up at Astelle.

“Why did His Majesty the Emperor say that?”

“……”

Astelle knelt down and looked at Theor.

“Theor.”

Astelle paused for a moment and took the child’s hand.

“I haven’t been able to tell you until now because I’m afraid it will become dangerous if this fact becomes known.”

Astelle paused again, choosing her words carefully to avoid hurting the child.

“Actually, His Majesty is your father. You are the son of His Majesty the Emperor.”

Theor widened his eyes.

Theor was smarter than other children his age, but he was still at an age where he couldn’t understand how dangerous the imperial bloodlines were.

Theor pondered and asked, “Is that why His Majesty also has red eyes?”

“Yes.”
