Chapter: 6

Looking at his blue eyes, Astelle hugged the child and kissed his forehead.

The skin that touched her lips smelled like soft milk.

Bang! Bang!

At that moment, there was a knock outside as if to break the door.

Astelle hurriedly hid the medicine bottle in her arms.

The door was ripped off with a bang before she could even go out and open it.

Knights dressed in military uniforms of the imperial army entered through the ragged door.

“Lady Astelle?”

The man who seemed to have the highest position among the knights approached Astelle.

And spoke in a concise manner to Astelle, who was standing by the bedside and held the child in her arms.

“Your Majesty the Emperor is looking for you.”

6 years ago, when Astelle found out she was pregnant, her first feeling was tremendous fear.

“Am I pregnant?”

She couldn’t believe it at first.

How? She’s sure Kaizen took birth control pills.

“There is a chance that such a drug will fail.”

The pharmacist explained that it was possible.

Even if they both take medicine, she still could become pregnant.

Astelle listened to the explanation in fascination.

It was about two months after her divorce.

She set up a new home in a quiet place and lived alone, but she still couldn’t block news from the rest of the world.

Astelle learned that with the death of the emperor, the peace of the empire had disappeared.

The previous gloomy and good emperor did not try to suppress the power of the great nobility.

In fact, he had no ambition or ability to do so.

But Kaizen was different.
