How To Hide Emperor's Child

Chapter 58

Vellian complained to Astelle.

"The Marquis suddenly threw a sword at me!"

"......sorry?"

According to him, the assassins suddenly appeared, so the Marquis threw the dagger he was holding and hit one assassin, then took the sword and threw it at Vellian.

The bruise on his forehead was caused by being hit with the handle of the sword.

The Marquis, who was listening quietly, looked at Vellian with a stern face.

"I meant to give you a sword to fight together with me."

"If you throw a sword at me without notice, I would inevitably get hit."

The Marquis said he was injured while dealing with the remaining two by himself.

Thinking about it again, the Marquis got angry with Vellian.

"How come the Count can't even use a sword?"

"......I am a civil servant."

Vellian murmured while avoiding the marquis' gaze.

Imperial male nobles were expected to at least learn the basics of swordsmanship.

At the very least, they learn how to protect themselves.

It seems that Vellian never learned anything.

"Aunt Astelle......"

Theor, who was burying his face in Astelle's arms, slowly raised his head.

"Theor, it's fine now. Let's go back to the annex, Blynn is waiting."

"Mhm......"

Astelle wiped the tears from Theor's eyes.

"Fortunately, Theor did not see anything, since the young Count was holding him."

The Marquis said that Vellian hid behind him, hugging Theor tightly so that he could not see anything.

"Thank you for protecting Theor, Count."

Astelle hated Vellian for a while, but she was grateful that he still protected Theor.

Vellian smirked as he received Astelle's thanks.

"Not at all. I would not have been able to do anything without the Marquis."

Kaizen, who was watching the knights clear up the situation, approached the group.

A long wound could be seen through the torn clothes.

"Is everyone okay?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

His gaze fell on Theor who was being carried by Astelle.

"Are you okay?"

Theor, who was burying his face in Astelle's arm, lifted his head carefully upon hearing Kaizen's voice.

His clear blue eyes were wet with tears.

"I'm fine, Your Majesty."

Kaizen wiped the tears from Theor's eyes with his hand.

"It's all right now. Don't be afraid."

Theor nodded at his words.

Astelle watched the two of them and realized that Theor followed Kaizen well and relied on him a lot.

It seemed that they loved each other deeply.

Kaizen glanced at Astelle and then turned around.

"Let's go back to the castle."
