How To Hide Emperor's Child

Chapter 40

Astelle brushed aside the ominous imagination and exhorted herself, 'I will never take him to the capital.'

She would never do it.

"Do not worry, Grandpa."

Astelle said in a confident tone, "I will never take Theor to the capital."

On the day of the ball, she must get permission to send Theor and her grandfather back.

-knock knock

Then she heard a short knock, and the servant opened the door and came in.

"Lady Astelle."

"What's going on?"

"His Majesty has sent you a gift."

At that moment, the room became as quiet as cold water was poured on it.

Astelle hurriedly headed to the drawing-room of the annex.

"Be careful!"

A loud noise was heard from the front of the door.

The scenery that followed was the same as before.

The servants and attendants sent by the emperor brought large boxes into the annex.

Countless boxes were moved inside.

The procession of dazzlingly beautiful dresses continued endlessly.

There were also countless jewels and ornaments.

They looked more luxurious than the ones they had been sent to wear to dinner back then.

Astelle grabbed one of the servants and asked, "What are all these?"

The servant politely bowed to Astelle and answered, "This is a gift from His Majesty to Lady Astelle."

'I heard that before.'

Why the hell did you send me so much again?

She was just about to ask the servant.

But before Astelle could ask, the servant gave the answer first.

"When Lady Astelle is attending the ball, you will need dress and accessories. So His Majesty sent you this gift."

"......"

It had not been a day since she said she was going to the ball.

It's been a really fast process.

'Well, I need a dress that I could wear to go to the ball.'

It wasn't a good thing to make Kaizen feel bad now.

Until the day of the ball, I must not disturb Kaizen's mood.

Only then she will be able to get permission for sending back Theor and her grandfather.

Astelle calmly bowed her head.

"Let me say thank you to His Majesty."

It wasn't just the stuff that Kaizen sent.

There were also four maids.

The four maids bowed their heads politely to Astelle.

"Lady, I have been ordered to serve you."

"Yes. Please take care of me."

'I need some maids though.'

"First of all, put these things in order."

Astelle pointed to the boxes in a row.

On the other side, Theor ran to the place where Astelle was.

"Aunt Astelle!"
