Chapter: 694

After all, not many are on Astelle’s side.

In an instant, Count Ecklen came to Astelle’s mind.

But Astelle shook her head.

She originally tried to bring him to her side because of his relationship with her maternal grandfather.

But after hearing about his past story with her mother, she became reluctant to ask him anything.

“I’m going to take this opportunity. Please help me as you promised.”

Astelle said, keeping the documents that Fritz had brought.

“Alright.”

While they were having such a conversation, suddenly there was a quick knock on the door.

The maid opened the door and entered the room with an anxious look.

She is a young maid who looks after Theor.

“Your Majesty the Empress!”

“Why?”

Astelle felt ominous when she saw the maid’s desperate expression.

The maid reported in a trembling voice.

“The prince fell ill.”

“Theor?”

Astelle got up in surprise.

“He was fine until a while ago…… but suddenly he has a fever.”

As soon as Astelle heard the maid’s explanation, she headed to Theor’s room.

Fritz followed.

Theor, who was leaning on the chair, found Fritz and waved his hand happily.

“Theor, are you okay?”
