Chapter: 706
“Your Majesty, the Duke of Reston……”
As soon as she heard the maid’s words, she frowned without realizing it.
Astelle put down the papers and went into the drawing room.
Her father, Duke Reston, was sitting as he did at dawn in the same chair.
Seeing that he was dressed the same as when he had met her at dawn, Astelle wondered if he had been waiting for morning to come and just looked at the clock.
“Has the emperor returned to his palace?”
“He did a long time ago.”
“Didn’t the emperor say anything else?”
“No, he didn’t.”
Astelle sat face to face with her father again.
“Do you think His Majesty the Emperor is targeting you?”
“Or maybe one of the other ministers……”
The duke didn’t finish his words.
It means he doesn’t have a clue who it is.
‘I think it’s good in a way.’
Astelle decided to take advantage of this situation.
In the current situation, there is no way for her father to take risky action first.
Her father will move only when he feels it is dangerous.
“I will help you.”
“You?”
The Duke looked at Astelle, not believing what he just heard.
“If my father is safe, then Theor and I will be safe too.”
Astelle continued, “I will find out what the Emperor is thinking. And I will try to win His Majesty’s heart even more so that he does not become hostile towards us.”
Simply put, she will keep an eye on the Emperor while seducing him.
She got little goosebumps when she said so.
