How To Hide Emperor's Child

Chapter 26

Astelle again calmly explained why.

"In this situation, if rumors spread that the Emperor's party also has a fever patient, the people who live around will panic."

No matter how to explain that it is not a fatal Innes fever, but an ordinary eastern fever, farmers who lack knowledge about the disease will focus only on the part that says, 'There is a fever patient in the emperor's party.'

Rather, people might suspect that Astelle said she only had a common fever to hide Innes' fever.

"If that happens, this village will be labeled as the place where the Innes fever patient stayed."

The damage will remain entirely for this village.

Rural villages in such a forest area raise vegetables and livestock and live by relying on barter with other villages.

Isolation from the outside could make it difficult for farmers to make a living.

"So I want to recover quietly here. People will be suspicious when they see Your Majesty's doctor coming and going here, so I'll make up the medicine myself. I just need the ingredients."

Fever is common in the East, so I learned it hard from Gretel.

It wasn't even medicine that needed rare ingredients. Most of them were available in the forests.

'And...... I also have to make a potion to change the eye color.'

In fact, the most important purpose was that.

Originally, I was thinking of going out for a while to see the village and the forest with Theor tomorrow morning.

However, the opportunity to come and go out so naturally disappeared because I got sick.

The potion is only left for 3 days.

If not now, I may not have a chance to get the ingredients.

Astelle finished the explanation calmly and waited for Kaizen's permission.

However, the eyes of the people gathered in the room were a little strange.

Everyone just looked at Astelle blankly without a word.

'Why are you doing that?'

When Astelle felt the doubt, Lyndon slowly opened his mouth with a blank face.

"You really have a deep thought, Lady Astelle."

"......Pardon?"

Lyndon bowed his head slightly to Astelle.

"I was deeply impressed by the heart of considering the circumstances of the farmers here and taking care of our circumstances."

"......"

Actually, I just wanted to make a potion that changes the eye color, not more.

Looking back, the middle-aged doctor I met for the first time was looking at me with admiration mixed eyes.

Even Vellian looked a little surprised.

However, there were people who were not very impressed.

Kaizen, who was listening silently, suddenly asked, "So you're going to stay here?"

"Yes."

"What about the child?"

Astelle turned to the doctor and asked, "Wouldn't it be okay to put Theor in the room across the corridor?"

"I think you can do that much because it's not contagious unless you get a fever because your symptoms get worse."

I thought so, but I was more relieved when I got confirmation from the doctor.
