How To Hide Emperor's Child

Chapter 9

In fact, Vellian never cared about the former empress until then.

Nobody knew that the southern provinces were owned by the empress dowager.

That's why he slowly found the former empress, whose whereabouts were unknown for two months.

As Vellian knew, Kaizen had no feelings toward the former empress.

'His Majesty sent her dresses and jewels......'

It was a shocking fact for Vellian, who has watched Kaizen for years.

For the past six years, Kaizen hasn't had any special lovers. There were neither women.

There were many women who tried to get the emperor's attention, but he did not pay attention to anyone. Let alone send anything like a gift to someone.

Of course, during that time, he was so busy with work that he didn't have time to do that.

Why did His Majesty send a gift to the former empress and invite her to the dinner?

Is it because he felt guilt for the divorce?

Vellian stood in his thoughts and didn't say anything, but Kaizen, who looked into the papers quietly, said without even looking at him.

"Is it bad news that you can't speak?"

"No, not that much......"

Vellian coughed and reported, "Lady Astelle sent the servant back because she couldn't receive the gift. And she said that she couldn't even come to dinner because she had to take care of the child."

Kaizen's hand as it turned over the papers stopped.

When she arrived at Maern Castle, he saw Astelle talk something to Marianne.

At first, Astelle's appearance was shabby, but when she confronted Marianne, it looked more serious.

The lady of the social world had a dress for everyday use, a dress for a prom, a dress for going out, a dress for travel, and a dress for hunting separately, and the fashion was completely different for each type.

For Kaizen, who has lived by looking only at such noble ladies, Astelle's clothes were the color of a beggar.

He thought she would need the right clothes to go to the capital, so he told the attendant to send her the proper clothes.

He didn't know it would come back with this result.

"Bring the servant who took the gift."

A middle-aged servant with a present came into the room and told him what Astelle had to say.

"Yes, Lady Astelle said she had to watch the child eat because he was young. She told that she can leave him to the maids...... she can't leave such a difficult task to the maids she met for the first time. She doesn't have time to explain the child's habits......"

It was not very wrong.

Vellian, who observed the situation with curious eyes from one side, agreed to the words of the former empress.

The child seemed to be about five or six years old, but leaving such a child in the room was a bit......

It would be okay if there was a nanny or a handmaid who had been caring for the child for a long time.

Even ordinary nobles do not go out leaving the child to a maid for less than an hour.

It was very common sense, but unfortunately, there was someone who could not understand it from common sense.
