How To Hide Emperor's Child

Chapter 12

Theor became quite close after a day or two with Vellian.

It seemed to be because of the innocent appearance of the young count.

Vellian asked Astelle again, noticing Theor running with the doll, "He's young, but he's polite. Did Lady Astelle take care of him yourself?"

"I took care of him. My grandfather helped me a lot."

"He will grow up wonderfully," Vellian truly admired her.

It was said that the old marquis who had lived as a high-ranking noble for a lifetime and young lady, a 20-year-old noblewoman who was the former empress, raised the newborn baby without a penny.

It's a miracle that she didn't starve the child and raised him well.

In the meantime, it was amazing to see that she even taught the child herself.

"Excuse me, but the mother of the child......"

"She gave birth and left. She lives elsewhere."

Vellian immediately believed it.

Originally, when a child born by a lowly woman in a noble family was taken as a successor, he was separated from his mother.

In that case, most of the birth mother was a maid or a prostitute.

He is the child who will be the successor, but if he keeps such a woman by his side, it will have a bad effect on him. Giving money and sending his birth mother away was the best choice.

It was heartbreaking, but in this case, any family member treated the birth mother in that way.

Perhaps the old marquis was very stubborn in that part.

Older nobles are originally followed the conservative laws.

Thanks to that, only this poor granddaughter seems to be suffering tremendously.

Like Kaizen, Vellian condemned Astelle's maternal grandfather, Marquis Carlenberg.

"Oh, yes, His Majesty has ordered the return of the Marquis' pension, so I contacted the capital, and it will be paid normally from this month."

"Ah...... thank you very much."

Astelle was really happy.

When she first went to her maternal grandfather's mansion, her maternal grandfather was also wealthy in his own way.

Her maternal grandfather had already lost his estate when Astelle was very young but had not lost his pension.

But he was good enough to live comfortably with a servant in a small mansion located in a scenic spot in the east.

However, when the rebellion in the north happened and the pension of her maternal grandfather was cut off, his life quickly became impoverished.

He hid and looked after the pregnant Astelle, and fell even further into hell.

By the time Theor was born, they eventually had to move to an old house on the edge of the east.

"It was a mistake that the Marquis' pension was deprived. His grandson died while fighting for His Majesty in the civil war. There must have been an error in the administration."

In fact, it was more likely that the old marquis was disadvantaged by the emperor's administrative officials for being related to Duke Reston.

"Yes, I'm glad he got it back even now."

Astelle believed that her life will be much better if her maternal grandfather gets his pension back.

Astelle glanced at Theor near the flowerbed and thought, 'Of course, if we can all go back safely.'
