How To Hide Emperor's Child

Chapter 18

From the time of departure, thin rains began to wet the grass, and within a few minutes, thick rains poured out like a waterfall.

Astelle ran through heavy rain on a horse borrowed from the castle.

The rainwater poured out constantly, and even the front was invisible. The muddy water followed on the muddy road.

Astelle was running along a small by-way. Dark forests were seen on both sides of the road. In the cool shade, water fog was blooming in the middle of the cold.

"Lady Astelle, isn't it raining too much?"

Vellian, who was following her, shouted.

Astelle ignored him.

As if she couldn't hear a word because of the sound of the rain, she kept running forward.

She ran for a long time, but she didn't see a building, let alone a hunting lodge.

The muddy road hit his ankles like a swamp.

No matter how fast she run, there was a limit to speeding up because it rained too much.

It was difficult to see the view due to the pouring rain so that the front could not be seen.

How long did I run?

Her whole body was soaked in the rain as if it was covered with water.

Astelle was running fast and pulled the reins without knowing it.

The dark blue sky was dyed black through the constantly pouring rain.

Gradually darkness fell over the rain-soaked birch trees.

Astelle stared in vain at the sky as she was running in the cold rain.

A reality colder than raindrops fell into her head.

'Time has passed.'

"......"

The potion effect has disappeared when time passed.

By now, Theor's eyes will have returned to their original color.

Astelle suddenly stopped.

Vellian, who had run past her, turned his horse and came to her side.

"Lady Astelle? What's wrong?"

Astelle managed to come to her senses.

"......No. I'm dizzy for a while."

"Are you okay? Would you like to rest under that tree?"

Vellian pointed to the leafy tree and suggested, but Astelle shook her head.

"No, it would be better to go to the hunting lodge and take a rest."

After running for a few more minutes along the by-way, a small hunting lodge located in the center of the forest appeared.

The two went inside after passing a door surrounded by a high stone wall.

The knights who were guarding the door let the two people in with surprised faces.

Astelle got off the horse and went into the hunting lodge.

With every step she took, water dripped from the wet hem.

The amazed servant quickly brought a towel to the two.

Astelle roughly wiped the water with a towel, and slowly walked inside.

She felt like walking into the execution site.

In some ways, she even thought it would be better to go to the execution site.
