How To Hide Emperor's Child

Chapter 55

Only the old Marquis requested for an audience.

Astelle did not take a single step out of the annex after the ball.

However, Kaizen was reluctant to go there for no good reason.

He was just spending a few days idling.

'Shall I use this opportunity to visit her?'

Kaizen looked at the documents and struggled.

After waiting for his answer for a long time, Vellian gave up and opened the papers again to just work.

Then Kaizen muttered.

"Okay. I can't just leave her alone with an old man and a child in the forest."

"Yes. For the safety, Your Majesty should go with Lady Astelle."

Vellian quickly agreed with the Emperor's words.

Kaizen put down the papers and stood up.

"I'm going on a picnic, so tell the servants to prepare."

Astelle took Theor's hand and came out. In one hand she was holding a picnic basket.

"Aunt Astelle, are we going by walk?"

"No, it's too far away, so we have to go by carriage."

Astelle came out of the annex and stopped when she saw the carriage in front of the garden.

The servants were loading unknown luggage bags on the carriage.

'What are those things?'

Then a familiar voice called out to Astelle.

"Lady Astelle! long time no see."

It was Vellian.

"Count. What is this?"

An ominous feeling slowly rose.

'I don't think I've ever had a good relationship with this person.'

"This is His Majes—"

"I'm ready to go on a picnic with you."

Before Vellian answered, a calm low tone took over the answer.

I turned around in surprise and saw Kaizen walking this way.

"Your Majesty!"

Theor released Astelle's hand and ran to Kaizen.

Kaizen stroked Theor's hair.

"You have completely recovered your energy."

The last kidnapping has made Theor even closer to Kaizen.

Astelle stopped on the spot and watched Kaizen silently.

It was her first meeting since the day of the ball.

'I thought it would be very uncomfortable if we met again, but now I am so embarrassed that I have no time to feel uncomfortable.'

"Your Majesty, where... are you going? A picnic?"

She must have misunderstood, but Kaizen answered without hesitation.

"Yeah. Picnic."

"......"

No, why?

Who invited you?

The Marquis who came out of the annex belatedly found the emperor. With a bewildered look, he set himself up.

"I see Your Majesty the Emperor, the lord of the empire."

"Oh, yes. You seem much better."

"Yes, I am completely healed after being here for a long time."
