Chapter: 828
“Hannah, where is my grandfather?”
“He is in the Crown Prince’s bedroom.”
She changed her clothes and went out through the small door connecting the two bedrooms.
Her grandfather who was watching Theor in the dark bedroom rose from his seat as soon as he saw her.
Theor was in a deep sleep.
“Astelle.”
Astelle leaned into her maternal grandfather’s arms. Being held in familiar arms gave her a sense of relief.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah.”
Astelle told everything to her grandfather. Starting from her father who was behind all of this, her meetings with the ministers, and the conversations she had with Gretel and Fritz.
When her maternal grandfather heard about the detox flower that Fritz had seen, he asked in a hurry.
“Is that possible?”
“It might be possible if Fritz gets the herbs quickly.”
In fact, it may not be possible to completely detoxify poison even with detox flowers.
But other than that, there was no hope.
The Marquis patted Astelle on the shoulder.
He said quietly, “Hey, if the emperor comes back to life… … .”
At that moment, it felt like cold water was running down her spine.
Astelle was deliberately not thinking about what would happen when Kaizen recovered.
“I know.”
When Kaizen comes to life, Astelle becomes the daughter of a traitor who tried to poison the Emperor.
Even now Astelle was hiding that fact from the ministers.
When things are settled, anyone will see that she was in cahoots with the Duke of Reston.
Astelle herself, as well as perhaps Theor, will not be safe.
In an instant, a terrible conflict took hold of her heart.
