Chapter: 99
Just before departure, Astelle coldly rejected Kaizen’s offer to ride this carriage.
“It’s an honor, but I have to take care of the child so I can’t get on Your Majesty’s carriage.”
“You can ride with the child too—”
Astelle politely bent her back and cut off Kaizen’s words.
“The child is too young and he haven’t learn the manners properly yet, so I can’t keep him with Your Majesty for such a long time. I apologize, Your Majesty. Please understand.”
“……”
As Kaizen stared with an annoying glance, Astelle grabbed the child’s hand and went to another carriage.
Kaizen has been in a bad mood since he was so cruelly rejected.
Vellian thought he was loyal in his own way.
He always had the heart to advise His Majesty the Emperor whenever necessary.
‘But if the child can inherit the pension, it would be against the law…… It’s better to think again.’
But in this situation, he prefers to be silent.
‘Well, I can’t help it. Anyway, no one can object to His Majesty. However, if there is a problem…… Lady Astelle, the person concerned, will never accept it.’
And there was another problem.
The appearance of Astelle running through the rain kept coming to his mind.
Her expression in the cold rain kept on his mind.
‘No matter how much I think about it, there seems to be something wrong with the child. Is he really ill?’
It doesn’t matter if it’s simply a chronic disease that can’t be spoken, but if it is a contagious disease, there is a problem.
He would continue to go with His Majesty the Emperor during the journey, but what if the child suffering from a suspicious illness?
‘I don’t know what it is, but I suspect she’s hiding something.’
Vellian thought as he watched the fast passing landscape.
It seems like it would be good to find out properly.

The scene of a peaceful forest quickly passed through the window.
The party was running along the forest road.
