How To Hide Emperor's Child

Chapter 7

"It was not like that anyway."

"Pardon?"

Why? She is such a beautiful woman... is she a little young to become Kaizen's mate?

Vellian smiled brightly and asked for a favor.

"I... I have something to say for a moment if you are okay, Lady."

"Yes, Theor, stay here for a while."

Astelle followed Vellian to the corner of the hallway while Theor looked at the statues adorned in the hallway.

"The story of the will of Her Majesty the Empress Dowager is kept secret from the public."

Vellian smiled friendly and explained the situation to Astelle.

"It's almost three months since the empress dowager died, and the Lords of the South will be shaken if it is known that the inheritance problem has not been resolved. Then, it is a big deal if there is a rebellion like the North. I hope you keep it a secret."

Astelle gazed at the cute Vellian's face silently for a moment.

Because it was amazing that a man who is the emperor's secretary smiled innocent and told a lie that seemed so obvious.

There couldn't be a rebellion in the South, where the late empress dowager came from, and now it was her third generation, Kaizen, that became emperor.

This man seemed to think that Astelle wouldn't even know that much.

"Is that so? You're not afraid of accusations against His Majesty the Emperor?"

The current imperial people do not know well about the former empress, Astelle.

As soon as she got married, she was divorced and her last name was hidden, so it was natural.

However, if the story of the will of the empress dowager is rumored, attention will suddenly be focused on the former empress and the image of the emperor will be destroyed.

She was sure people would say, 'The emperor had kicked out his wife, so why the empress dowager have made such a will when she was dying?'

As Astelle struck the ball, Vellian's gentle face hardened for an instant.

He smiled an ambiguous smile as if embarrassed.

"Haha, it's hard to fool a smart person."

He doesn't seem to try to cheat much.

This guy thought Astelle was so naive that she didn't know anything about the world.

He admitted softly, "Yes, I think if the will of the empress dowager leak out, there will be a lot of rumors like this or that. Don't worry. We'll try to be as quiet as possible."

"Don't bother because I don't care anyway. I'm not going to gossip with other people and I'll be back right after this matter is over."

In fact, Astelle wanted to avoid catching people's attention as much as possible.

Theor's birth-related evidence was handled perfectly, but it was still dangerous to get people's attention.

"It's nice to be with a person who can communicate."

Vellian was satisfied and bowed his head to Astelle.

"Thank you for understanding the situation. Please tell me anything you need until you go to the capital."

Vellian called the servant and ordered that Astelle and Theor be guided to their room.

Astelle took Theor and followed the servant.
