Chapter: 536

Astelle smiled as if agreeing with her father.

She had no intention of letting her father be near Theor.

“Are you asking me to find out about father’s corruption hidden in the estate?”

Not long ago, Fritz asked Astelle like that.

Astelle shook her head.

“No. That’s impossible. Even if there is corruption, you won’t be able to find evidence.”

Kaizen would have killed her father sooner if he had been able to find evidence that would bring him down easily.

“Then what are you going to do?”

“We have to make it.”

If there’s no evidence, just create a new one.

Astelle pretends to cooperate with her father, saying she will help him regain power again.

While her father devises a scheming to regain his power, Fritz and she will gather evidence that could lead to her father’s downfall.

When Fritz becomes the Lord of the West, he will also be able to manage the estate. That meant he could avoid his father’s eyes and secretly collect evidence.

“Lady Astelle.”

Hannah, who had gone out of the Imperial Palace, came to Astelle.

“Hannah. Did you just come back from the dressing room?”

Hannah glanced at the Duke of Reston and said, “Lady Astelle, I have something to tell you.”

Astelle asked her father for understanding and entered the next room.

Hannah followed her.

Astelle wondered about Hannah’s behavior and thought she must have a reason.

“What happened in the dressing room?”

“It’s not a big deal, but it bothers me a bit.”

Hannah explained to Astelle what she saw in the dressing room.

“The embroidery decoration?”

“Yes.”
