Chapter: 703
Her father’s words must have meant that there were already nobles on his side.
“Anyway, I don’t think His Majesty was behind it. For Theor’s sake…… he’ll protect my father.”
Astelle said so, pretending to be innocent.
“Don’t be stupid. If the Emperor loses interest in you, he will try to bring down our family again, with or without a prince.”
The Duke of Reston raised his voice a little frustratedly.
Then he looked directly at Astelle and gave advice.
“So while the Emperor is still in love with you, you must have another child.”
“……”
The thought of pouring her father a cup of tea crossed Astelle’s mind. If not for her having to convince her father until she completes her plan, maybe she really did.
However, the conversation did not continue. The door swung open without a knock.
“Astelle. What are you doing here?”
That’s Kaizen.
After spending the night with Theor, he too looked a little tired.
Kaizen looked back at the Duke of Reston.
The Duke hastily got up from his seat.
“I greet you, Your Majesty……”
“I don’t think the Duke has learned any basic etiquette.”
The Duke of Reston quickly lowered his head with a frown on his face.
“When I heard the news that the prince fell ill, I as his grandfather was very worried and rushed here.”
“What are you doing here if you are so worried?”
“Because the prince is still sleeping……”
“Thank you for worrying about the prince. Now that Theor has recovered his energy, you should go back. I can’t let outsiders in when my son is sick.”
It was a clear order to leave immediately.
The Duke of Reston was furious in his heart, but he dared not be angry with the Emperor.
“……I will be back in the afternoon.”
