Chapter: 497
She could feel Fritz’s gaze looking closely at this side.
Astelle blinked at him.
Fritz nodded as if understood.

The next day, as soon as I woke up after sleeping overnight, Kaizen sent an attendant to deliver a message.
I was told to take Theor to the temple.
“Already?”
I heard that the Theor would go through the verification process at the temple, but I didn’t know he would go this early.
Astelle finished breakfast quickly in her room and changed. Theor was still asleep in his room.
The Emperor’s attendant bowed his head as if he was sorry.
“His Majesty has ordered me to bring the prince as soon as possible. The priests in the temple have already finished the preparations and are waiting.”
Kaizen seems to want to check the lineage in the temple as soon as possible and grant Theor the status of a prince officially.
Reluctantly, she woke Theor up and prepared to head to the temple after finishing his light breakfast.
“Where are we going?”
Theor rubbed his sleepy eyes as he ate a slice of potato pancakes with apple jam.
Cooling down the cream soup in the bowl, Astelle said, “We are going to the temple with His Majesty.”
“Why are we going to the temple?”
Theor didn’t seem to understand well that he had to go somewhere again before he could adapt to the Imperial Palace.
“We are going to the temple to pray and to let others know that His Majesty the Emperor is your father.”
Astelle bathed Theor, changed his clothes, and headed to the outer palace where the carriage was waiting.
When she arrived at the outer palace of the Imperial Palace, Kaizen was waiting for the two of them.
“Theor, did you sleep well yesterday?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Kaizen, who was stroking Theor’s hair, looked at Astelle and hardened his expression for a moment.
Kaizen said reluctantly, “If you feel uncomfortable, you don’t have to go.”
