Chapter: 76

Vellian thought that even a birth mother wouldn’t go this far.

Or is it because she can’t believe His Majesty the Emperor?

Are you afraid the child will get hurt?

Although Kaizen was a competent emperor who ruled the empire well, of course, he was not a man who could take care of a child.

He didn’t even like children.

Still, there must be knights and servants in the hunting lodge.

‘Well, I have no reason to refuse.’

Vellian wanted to maintain a good relationship with this dignified former empress.

To him, the emperor seemed to be interested in her.

“Sure. Because the rain has just stopped. Let’s go to the hunting lodge at this time. Prepare a carriage right now—”

“No, I would like to ride a horse after a long time rather than a carriage.”

Astelle intercepted Vellian, who was trying to order the servant to prepare a carriage.

It wasn’t a particularly strange request, but Vellian felt a little weird.

He had not known the former empress for a long time, but as far as he had observed, Astelle was not one to want to ride a horse in this situation.

Why are you doing this all of a sudden?

Do you have to go to the child so urgently?

He looked closely at Astelle.

But Astelle’s smiling face did not reveal any suspicious signs.

There was no urgency or an impatient expression on her face at all.

Vellian nodded after a brief silence.

“Yes, Lady.”

***

Heavy rain could be seen outside the window.

It was good until he arrived at the hunting lodge, but as soon as he went inside, heavy rain poured out as if the sky had been opened.

Kaizen and the party had to stay at the hunting lodge as soon as he arrived.
