Chapter: 913
It was understandable that Marquis Croychen had teamed up with her father, but were his daughters involved as well?
“I heard they also met your father.”
“Florin and Marianne? For what?”
“Well…….”
Her grandfather had a puzzled face.
“Your father tried to marry the daughter of the Croychen family.”
“What did my father try to do?” Astelle raised her voice subconsciously.
All three daughters of the Croychen family are much younger than her. But her father tried to marry one of them? The eldest daughter, Marianne, was even barely past her adulthood.
The complex emotions she felt when she heard the news of her father’s death slowly evaporated.
“He’s my father, but he’s a terrible person.”
Her grandfather remained silent with a look of agreement.
She didn’t want to curse her dead father anymore, but her disgust surged.
She knew very well what her father had in mind. Fritz betrayed him, so he must have tried to have children by taking a new wife.
What a ridiculous idea.
knock knock.
Their conversation was interrupted by a brief knock.
The attendant of the Imperial Palace entered, with two people carrying heavy-looking boxes behind him.
“Your Majesty the Empress.”
“What’s going on?”
“His Majesty the Emperor has sent you a gift to console your loss.”
Ah.
Since the empress’ biological father died, it was natural for the emperor to send condolences and gifts.
Astelle belatedly realized that she had to play the role of the mourning daughter.
She was fortunately dressed in mourning clothes, but she was not sad at all and was having tea time with her grandfather.
Astelle quickly nodded, pretending to be sad.
