How To Hide Emperor's Child

Chapter 52

"No."

"I beg your pardon?"

Astelle raised her head in surprise and asked.

Kaizen, who had been kindly comforting her until recently, was as cold as stone.

Anger gleamed in his red eyes staring at her.

'No......why are you angry?'

"Your Majesty, my grandfather, as well as young Theor, they recently fell ill with a fever......"

"I know, both of them are not feeling well, so why do they have to go back such a long way?"

Kaizen refuted Astelle's words in an irritated tone.

"As I said before, it would be better to go to the capital to see a proper doctor and get treatment. At this point, I think it would be better to find a doctor and a tutor for the child."

"Your Majesty, but......"

"Stop."

Kaizen interrupted Astelle's words as harshly as before.

He looked at Astelle with bitter eyes.

"This is an order."

Kaizen had a determined expression on his face, he would not allow a single rebuttal.

"......"

Astelle shut her mouth with a bewildered look on her face.

Even the people watching were perplexed.

She couldn't understand why he wasn't giving her permission.

Even Vellian, who was listening right next to Kaizen, wanted to ask him why he didn't allow it.

But the emperor seemed so unhappy that no one dared to intervene.

Everyone kept their mouths shut and just watched the situation.

Kaizen glared at Astelle, then turned around and left the banquet hall.

She had no choice but to watch his back in disbelief.

After the emperor disappeared, people began to offer condolences to Astelle, who was standing there blankly.

"Lady, don't be so heartbroken."

"The Marquis will be well."

"Thank you for your consideration."

Astelle got some comfort from the guests and then left the banquet.

The attendant offered to lead her to the annex, but she refused.

Astelle walked along the garden, stepping on a dew-covered path.

There was a chill in the dark garden.

As she breathed in the cold air, she could feel her mind becoming a little clearer.

However, her heart was still boiling with confusion.

'Why?'

Why did he get so angry and reject her request?

She couldn't understand what exactly she told him that made him so angry

In order to arrange the will of the Empress Dowager, only Astelle would have to go to the capital. Why is he trying to take Grandpa and Theor with him?

Astelle had expected that if they talked about it when they were alone, she would definitely get a bad reaction and that's why she chose the ballroom.

She had no idea that Kaizen would reject her in front of so many people. She thought he would act like an emperor if there were so many eyes.
