How To Hide Emperor's Child

Chapter 21

Vellian thought he was loyal in his own way.

He always had the heart to advise His Majesty the Emperor whenever necessary.

'But if the child can inherit the pension, it would be against the law...... It's better to think again.'

But in this situation, he prefers to be silent.

'Well, I can't help it. Anyway, no one can object to His Majesty. However, if there is a problem...... Lady Astelle, the person concerned, will never accept it.'

And there was another problem.

The appearance of Astelle running through the rain kept coming to his mind.

Her expression in the cold rain kept on his mind.

'No matter how much I think about it, there seems to be something wrong with the child. Is he really ill?'

It doesn't matter if it's simply a chronic disease that can't be spoken, but if it is a contagious disease, there is a problem.

He would continue to go with His Majesty the Emperor during the journey, but what if the child suffering from a suspicious illness?

'I don't know what it is, but I suspect she's hiding something.'

Vellian thought as he watched the fast passing landscape.

It seems like it would be good to find out properly.

***

The scene of a peaceful forest quickly passed through the window.

The party was running along the forest road.

It was a little late than expected, but now it is said that the party will arrive at the destination in three more days.

Astelle sighed, leaning against the back of the chair.

After being nervous for several days, she was tired and her head was heavy.

'But it's all done now.'

A lot has happened in a short time, but this hardship finally will be over in just a few more days.

Even in the midst of tiredness, a sense of relief came.

The hound lying on the floor raised its head when it heard Astelle move.

The bead-like clear eyes stared at her.

Astelle smiled bitterly at that cute appearance.

It was good to use her grandfather to get the emperor's permission.

It was a little off the plan that Kaizen and his party went together, but it was better than spending time with him and stuck in the Maern Castle.

Anyway, she'll be able to send Theor back as long as she gets to Dentsu Castle.

But as soon as she started preparing for the departure, a small obstacle arose.

Just before the departure, Astelle cautiously soothed Theor, who held his cry.

"We have to go a long way, but wouldn't it be hard for the hound? And this hound's hometown is here."

Tears filled in Theor's blue eyes.

"His Majesty said it was a gift for me......"

Theor was not a stubborn child.

He usually quiet and listened well.

He was always convinced if Astelle explained carefully why he shouldn't even be stubborn.

But this time he didn't give up so easily.
