Chapter: 952

[I don’t know what to do……. What should I do? How can I protect everyone?]

“…….”

It was a scribbled sentence that left a feeling of bewilderment.

Fortunately, after that, the contents of her diary returned to normal.

Did she pull herself together and make it back to her everyday life?

Astelle slowly turned another page hesitantly.

A few chapters later, a familiar name appeared.

[Esteban told me. He knows that I stole the headquarters records.]

(T/N: Esteban von Reston is Astelle’s father)

What did she steal?

Oh, Count Ecklen was exiled after being framed for problems during the battle.

It seems that my mother stole the records to prove his innocence.

A short sentence followed along.

[He proposed to me.]

……what did he do?

[I agreed to marry him. My father is against it, but he will eventually allow it.]

“Hmm…….”

It felt like facing a truth I didn’t really want to know.

To sum it up, did my mother steal headquarters records for Count Ecklen?

But my father threatened my mother with that, and she had no choice but to marry him.

‘But did she have to get married?’

Such a question arose, but Astelle soon understood.

My mother must have been worried.

People would most likely point their fingers at her. She must have been worried about her father too.

Moreover, the opponent was a young duke, the son of the prime minister.
