How To Hide Emperor's Child

Chapter 33

"Is there a problem in the capital?"

"No, there is nothing to worry about," Vellian replied, handing over the report from the capital.

Everything in the capital was going well.

After a brief silence, Kaizen asked, "How about that man?"

At Kaizen's meaningful question, Vellian lowered his voice a little.

He didn't even have to ask who he was referring to.

"The Duke of Reston secretly sent money to the West."

Duke Reston in the capital was still walking into the trap.

Seeing that he even sent money, it was obvious that he was preparing for a rebellion.

The problem was that his allied partner was a spy on the Kaizen side.

Thanks to this, all of the Duke's actions were being reported to him.

Vellian looked at Kaizen with a slightly complicated gaze.

He can finally get rid of the Duke of Reston just when he told this thing.

At that time, Kaizen was also trying to buy time so that the Duke could walk into the trap.

The duke would do more preparations for the rebellion if Kaizen left the capital for a long time.

But now the situation is a little......it became complicated.

'His Majesty is being drawn to Lady Astelle now.'

In the capital, the Duke of Reston prepared for a rebellion—even though he fell into the emperor's trap—but the emperor seemed to have a slight interest in Astelle, the daughter of the Duke of Reston.

Even Vellian was confused about what to do.

'What will happen to Lady Astelle if the Duke of Reston is executed as a traitor?'

The emperor did not show mercy to the traitor family.

The northern family that caused the rebellion was executed along with the women and children.

If the rebellion is still not done, only men were executed and women were sent to a convent.

'But for Lady Astelle......'

The emperor had his affection for Astelle.

Even if the Duke of Reston dies, Astelle will be able to spend a comfortable day in the eastern countryside.

But when she becomes the daughter of a traitor, it'll be hard for her to get into the capital's socialite.

'It would be impossible to stay with the emperor's side. It is not allowed to take the daughter of a traitor to the imperial palace.'

Then it becomes completely impossible for Astelle to become empress again.

Vellian thought about it for a moment and looked at the emperor with a complicated gaze.

Kaizen, who was sitting still, ordered in a calm voice, "Send the commander of the Lanberg Knight to the North."

"Pardon?"

"Send some of the knights to maintain the security of the north."

Vellian realized what Kaizen thought.

The Lanberg Knights were the capital's most useful force.

If a few knights and the knight commander left the capital, the Duke would take this as an opportunity.
