First Of All, Lets Hide My Younger Brother

Chapter 40

"Your Majesty, how are you feeling?"

Maxim asked him when Ritrich plopped into a chair. Some time ago, the scene at Count Shumanix's banquet was quite shocking.

"Lidiana was there."

The Emperor muttered in despair.

Lidiana Lithi.

16 years ago, a woman appeared whom Emperor Ritrich met and passionately fell in love with. A passionate romance developed between these two, which was not hindered even by their age difference.

Ritrich, even when he was just the Crown Prince, did not announce the relationship with this woman. While members of the Imperial Family and other aristocracies had many love relationships, Ritrich was different. Before his marriage, he had never held a woman's hand.

Then he married Julia Hillett, the eldest daughter of the Hillett family. The couple managed to establish a normal relationship. However, the Hillets were very ambitious and wanted to control the imperial power by making it their own power. Because of this, the Emperor and the Empress began to move away from each other.

But once for the first time, as the Crown Prince, he met 20-year-old Lidiana on the day when she attended Count Schumanix's banquet. A mysterious woman with pink hair and purple eyes who inherited the blood of the King of Spirits. Lidiana was the first love of Ritrich, who was already well over 30.

"Your Majesty, Lidiana has been dead for a long time."

Maxim once again emphasized this.

"But…"

"You just made a mistake."

Ritrich jumped up from his seat, as if something had appeared next to him.

"Then it turned out that Lydiana had a son, the Duke of Lythi."

"Yes, I remember, that's why I was like this. It was your son…"

"Son…"

Ritrich remembered the girl he had seen in the central hall of the Shumanix mansion. A beautiful girl with blonde hair and purple eyes. She was very much like Lydiana.

"I told him to dress him up as a girl and raise him accordingly."

"Your Majesty…"

Maxim also remembered this. The face of Duke Lithi, begging for the life of his grandson, cursed by the Empress. The Emperor told Duke Lithi how to temporarily escape the curse.

"That's exactly what I did."

Ritrich recalled his last meeting with the Duke of Lythi.

"Dress the child in women's clothes. To some extent, this will help to avoid the curse."

He was sure that was exactly what he had said then. Then the girl who looks like Lidiana, whom he saw today, probably…

"I completely forgot."

Ritrich's eyes stared into the air.

"A boy… I completely forgot."

Maxim was alarmed. The barely calmed down past shook the Emperor again.

"He looks a lot like Lydiana, just like Duke Lythi said."

Leaning back in his chair again, Ritrich began to cry, shaking his shoulders.

"Your Majesty, this may reach Her Majesty's ears. Be careful."

The weeping Emperor raised his eyes and stared at Maxim. There was anger in his eyes.
