How To Hide Emperor's Child

Chapter 57

Astelle understood the situation and nodded.

Clang! [sfx]

As the assassins began to attack, Kaizen came back to his senses and avoided the flying sword.

He deviated from the weapon and passed through the gap. His sword pierced the opponent's body.

"Ugh!"

There were several assassins, but Kaizen's sword was much faster and more skilled than them.

He easily defeated the enemies one by one.

The last remaining assassin crept in, but Kaizen's sword cut through his chest in an instant.

The opponent screamed and collapsed.

At that moment, another assassin appeared from behind Astelle.

A masked man was holding his sword and running towards her.

Kaizen froze for a moment.

"Astelle!"

Surprised, Astelle leaned over to avoid the attack.

Kaizen's sword blocked the one heading towards Astelle, but his posture was disturbed for a moment, and he lost his balance.

At that moment, the assassin pierced his shoulder.

"Ugh!"

In an instant, the blade of the sword was pierced deep into his left shoulder and his blood gushed out.

Kaizen's sword pierced the opponent's neck.

After a short struggle, the bodies of seven people were scattered on the floor.

Astelle noticed that Kaizen was bleeding and approached him.

"Your Majesty! Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

As Astelle was walking towards Kaizen, the body of one of the assassins touched her feet.

Astelle, who unintentionally lowered her gaze, was terribly surprised.

'This person...'

Even earlier when Astelle saw the assassin, she felt strangely familiar with him.

She knew this man. He was someone she encountered occasionally in the mansion since childhood.

Astelle had seen this man several times, enough to be able to recognize his identity just by looking at his half-masked face.

She doesn't know his name, but she knows what he came to do.

He was one of the minions her father kept secretly by his side.

'Why is this person here...'

"......"

Seeing Astelle's pale face, Kaizen sat down, clutching his stabbed shoulder.

"Ugh...!"

"Your Majesty!"

Astelle suddenly came to her senses and approached Kaizen who was sitting with his back against a tree.

"Ugh!"

He frowned in pain and groaned.

His wounded shoulder was drenched in blood.

Astelle knelt down next to him.

"Your Majesty, I will examine the wounds."

She carefully unfolded the torn hem.

The wounds from the sword were deeply embedded in his hard shoulder, which was wrapped in muscles .
