How To Hide Emperor's Child

Chapter 19

"Lady Astelle is here."

Vellian was thinking about that, but the servant came in and announced Astelle's arrival.

The door opened and Astelle entered the room.

Kaizen inadvertently turned his gaze toward the door and looked at Astelle.

There was Astelle in front of the opened door.

Kaizen almost didn't recognize Astelle at first.

Astelle was wearing a green silk dress instead of a cotton dress that looked like a giant bag she usually wore.

It was an old-fashioned dress that was different from the current fashion, but the neat design peculiar to the old-fashioned matched Astelles's neat appearance.

The light blonde was also loosened or tied in one, unlike usual, it was simply lifted up in a bundle and fixed with a butterfly-shaped comb pin.

The pale green butterfly which sat down on the slightly watery platinum-colored hair looked elegant.

It was like a beautiful woman painted in an old portrait.

It was graceful and beautiful.

Of course, Astelle originally had a nice appearance.

The line was thin and the features were neat.

In the past, Astelle was often dressed much more beautifully than this.

However, Kaizen of those days never looked at Astelle.

'Was she like this......'

Vellian was also surprised and stared blankly, then came to his senses belatedly and greeted Astelle.

"Lady Astelle."

Astelle went inside while calmly receiving the gaze that was focused on her.

It was good for her to wash her body wet in rain with the bathwater provided by the maid, but the problem was that she had no clothes to change.

She can't wear wet clothes either.

She couldn't even send someone to the castle to tell them to bring her clothes.

Besides, since this is a hunting lodge, there were many extra clothes for knights, but there were just a few women's clothes.

It is said that it is a very remote place and did not even hire a maid.

All the working people were servants or attendants.

'These are all existing ladies' clothes.'

The clothes the servant brought were three dresses.

One was a red velvet evening dress, which was deep enough to reveal the chest and embroidered with gold thread on the bodice.

It was literally a fancy dress that would be worn only at a ball.

The other one was worse than that.

It was a light pearl-colored muslin dress, but the fabric was thin enough to see the inside.

Seeing that they were all popular designs a few decades ago, they seemed to be the clothes of a woman brought by the former emperor when he came here.

Kaizen's father, His Majesty, was a gentleman and did not have a woman or a lover, but Kaizen's grandfather, His Majesty Emperor Gilbert, was the one who really revealed his feelings.

'It must be the clothes that his women came to and left behind.'

Still, the third dress was a little wearable.
