How To Hide Emperor's Child

Chapter 62

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generous disposition."

"And I hope that in the future your daughter will not come to see me again without my permission."

At Kaizen's cold voice, anxious gazes moved over him.

Everyone here knew that Florin of the Croychen family was the most likely candidate for the Empress seat.

But the emperor was saying that he would not see the daughter of the Croychen family anymore.

Marquis Croychen's purple eyes fluttered anxiously.

But he obeyed the orders without hesitation.

"Yes, Your Majesty. In the future, my daughter will not cause any concern to you."

Beyond those terrified eyes, he was thinking of a new strategy to use.

Kaizen trusted and kept this clever and loyal man by his side, but he was too greedy for his own good.

He was trying to make Florin the Empress.

At the time, Kaizen did not pay much attention to who others elected as new empress.

He was too busy dealing with the civil war and running state affairs, so he did not have time to worry about such things.

'Florin. She is only a little girl who has just reached adulthood.'

Greed would continue to grow without end. Kaizen was planning to cut off the bud before it causes any bigger problems.

If the Marchioness and Marianne were clearly punished, the Marquis would not be able to push Florin in.

The meeting ended in an unsettling atmosphere.

"Your Majesty."

After the meeting was over, Vellian cautiously approached Kaizen who was returning to the office to work.

"Your Majesty, are you really going to keep the assassination a secret without investigating it?"

Kaizen ordered that the assassination at Dentsu Castle remains uninvestigated, he wanted to keep it a secret.

That incident has not been passed on to the ministers of the capital for the time being.

Kaizen answered without taking his eyes off the paperwork,

"Yes. Never let it leak out."

If the truth of the assassination was revealed, those involved should be punished.

In the past, the culprit would have been identified and executed.

Uncovering the person who instigated the assassination would've been a must.

But right now it could not be publicly investigated.

Because if it was, it would be discovered that Astelle was the daughter of a traitor.

If that were to happen, even the emperor's power would not be able to fully protect her status and honor.

Vellian looked at him with a puzzled expression, but Kaizen gave a firm command.

"The assassination case must never be known to the outside. Keep the work there in moderation and confidentiality."

The next day, Astelle went to the temple early in the morning.

It was a temple not far from the Imperial Palace.

Astelle's residence was also close by.

Against the background of the dawn sky that was bright, there was a gray temple.
