Chapter: 682

Astelle pondered for a moment and then looked up at her maternal grandfather.

“When I met the Count before, he talked about my mother. Don’t tell me he had a problem with my mother, did he?”

At that moment, the Marquis turned to her in surprise.

Seeing her maternal grandfather startled, Astelle was also perplexed.

“He said he was friends with my mother.”

“Friends he said?”

“…..?”

“Well…… they were close. They were best friends until your mother got married.”

This time Astelle was surprised.

They were close friends until her mother got married.

The words of her maternal grandfather were implying that her mother’s marriage had not been smooth.

Astelle asked, perplexed.

“You’re not saying my mother was in a relationship with him, are you?”

“Nonsense! How do you see your mother?”

“I don’t remember her.”

“Still, that is impossible.”

“Why? Because of his low status?”

Count Ecklen was also a nobleman, but at that time, he must have come from an unnamed knight family in the countryside, so he was no match for the daughter of the Marquis.

“They were pretty close.”

The Marquis was compelled to admit it.

“But she chose your father.”

“Then there is no problem, right?”

Even if it was a close relationship before marriage, it was her father, the Duke of Reston, who eventually proposed to her mother.

And her mother accepted his proposal.

Where is the problem?
