How To Hide Emperor's Child

Chapter 59

"......"

'I definitely washed my face.'

Astelle touched her cheek with her hand, wondering if there were any tears left behind.

Kaizen said, as if trying to reassure Astelle.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine."

"......"

It may not be all right if the truth about the assassination is revealed.

But Astelle couldn't tell Kaizen that.

If the true culprit behind the assassination is revealed, Astelle will not be able to escape.

Astelle felt terribly towards herself for thinking about that even at this moment.

She looked away from Kaizen and asked,

"Are your wounds okay?"

"As you can see, I'm fine."

"What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said it would be fine."

It looked like a pretty deep cut, but he was so healthy.

Still, it was fortunate that there were no aftereffects.

Astelle bowed her head to him.

"I couldn't thank you properly. Thank you for protecting me."

"You have nothing to thank me for. It is only natural that I protect you."

Kaizen said so in a calm tone.

Astelle suddenly remembered the scene she had seen in the forest.

Kaizen's wounds while protecting Astelle.

In his moment of crisis, Kaizen fought desperately to protect Astelle without thinking about his own safety.

Astelle, feeling a little complicated, answered quietly,

"Yes, I'm glad that Your Majesty was not seriously hurt either."

At those words, Kaizen turned to Astelle with his shocked eyes.

He looked astonished.

Astelle thought for a moment as to where she had said something so surprising to him.

"You... Did you worry about me?"

Well, how can she not worry? He is the emperor.

"I was worried that the wound would be severe. It would be a big deal if there were any aftereffects."

Astelle said as calmly as possible. But Kaizen still looked surprised.

"Your Majesty? Why are you so surprised?"

"It's amazing that you really cared about me because I didn't think it was possible in real life."

Astelle did not know whether he was joking or serious. She just sighed as tried to refute Kaizen's words.

"You saved me, so of course I have to worry."

A sense of guilt was mixed with gratitude.

It was Astelle's father, the Duke of Reston, who tried to kill Kaizen.

Knowing this, Astelle could not tell Kaizen the truth.

Even though his help had saved her life that day, she couldn't be honest with him.

"Astelle."

Kaizen, who had been watching Astelle's complicated expression, approached her.

In an instant, the distance between the two of them narrowed.
